When it comes to dental health, prevention is always better than the cure which is why seeing your dentist and taking proper care of your teeth and gums is the best way to help prevent tooth decay and gum diseases. If you only visit your dentist when you already have a tooth ache, bleeding gums or other symptoms of an oral health condition, it may already be too late to save your tooth and stop infections from spreading. Most oral health problems are preventable. If a problem does arise, catching it at an early stage means it is easier and less expensive to treat and also helps you avoid all the pain and discomfort.
So what does preventative dental care involve?
The best way to maintain good oral hygiene is to brush and floss your teeth and to visit your dentist regularly. Your dentist not only examines your teeth for signs of decay or damage but also for early signs of gum disease and oral cancer. It is recommended you visit your dentist twice a year however people with severe gum disease or a weakened immune system may need to visit more often.
At your check up your dentist will:
- Check for early signs or decay or breakages
- Check existing restorations
- Look at your gums for early signs of gum disease
- Examine your tongue, throat, cheeks and lips for signs of oral cancer
- Examine your jaw joint
X-rays of your teeth are taken every two to three years, unless your dentist notices a problem and needs an x-ray to look inside the tooth. If a cavity is found or your dentist feels that your oral hygiene needs to be improved, they will create a treatment plan outlining the work that needs to be done and the cost associated.
Dental Cleaning
A professional tooth cleaning involves eliminating the plaque and tartar that has accumulated on your tooth over time. Only your dentist can remove these calcium deposits, which is also known as tartar, using special instruments. If tartar is allowed to build up on teeth it will provide the right environment for bacteria to flourish next to gums which in turn can cause tooth decay and gum disease. Cleaning your teeth professionally leaves all tooth surfaces clean and smooth so harmful bacteria can’t stick to them. As a result, you have a better chance of keeping your teeth clean when you perform dental care at home.
