Preventive Dental Care

Preventive dental care can be defined as oral care that involves treatment, education, and the practice of maintaining the teeth and gums. From annual checkups to daily brushing, such tasks help in avoiding gum disease, enamel wear, and cavities which ultimately lead to tooth sensitivity.

Common Practices in Our Dental Office

There are a couple of dental procedures that could occur when you visit your dentist. The dental examination can be seen as a preventive mechanism. This is because the purpose of the exam is to detect any form of tooth decay. Once the examination is done, the dentist will recommend the next course of action. They will have the patient’s teeth cleaned which helps in preventing gum disease and cavities.

The dentist might need more than one appointment depending on the severity of the situation. Treatment of gum disease could be necessary given the fact that it will require the experience of Periodontics if there is an infection.

 

Preventive dental care for Children

Preventive dental care is crucial for children who are growing up. Early cleaning and preventive care will ensure a lifetime of healthy teeth. Adding a sealant is a preventive measure that is recommended for kids. The molars usually erupt between the ages of six and 12. Dental sealants can be applied on the surface to prevent tooth decay.

Children may need braces as they continue to grow to help in shaping and strengthening the teeth.

Benefits Of Good Dental Hygiene

There are numerous benefits to preventive dentistry and it doesn’t matter the age. It is crucial that good oral hygiene is maintained to improve your overall health. Having a routine dental visit is highly recommended so that problems are detected early before they get out of hand. According to experts, one should visit the dentist at least twice a year.

Most people will wait until teeth problems become obvious before they decide to visit a dentist. Poor dental care could lead to other health complications like diabetes, heart disease, and kidney failure.

When you visit Maestro Smiles, your teeth will be examined with experienced dentists. Some of the key areas to be examined will be tooth decay, swelling or receding gums, and clicking sound in the jawbone.

 

A dental infection could lead to permanent tooth loss. This could require costly treatment and sometimes even an implant so that you get the natural look back. If tooth decay is detected during the early stages, the affected portion can be removed and then filled using a tooth-colored filling.
