Why Should I Schedule Regular Dentist Appointments?

Many individuals do not visit the dentist on a regular basis. Instead, they only schedule appointments when they run into dental problems, such as cavities. This is known as crisis treatment. While these individuals may feel they are saving money, they are actually losing money in the long run. Dental problems do not show symptoms until they have reached the more advanced stages of the disease process. Prevent serious and costly dental issues by scheduling regular dentist appointments.
What Is a Tooth Cavity?

A tooth has three layers. The hard outer layer is called enamel. While the enamel which forms the surface of the tooth is the hardest substance in the human body, it is not indestructible. Dental caries, also known as tooth decay, is a common condition suffered by individuals of all ages. Tooth decay occurs when a bacteria creates acid which eats away at your tooth and leads to a hole in your tooth called a cavity. If left untreated, tooth decay causes pain, tooth loss and infection.
How Can I Prevent Cavities?

In order to prevent cavities, schedule regular oral exams, floss at least once a day, and always spend three minutes brushing your teeth. This period of time will rid your mouth of the bacteria that destroys your tooth enamel. However, do not brush too hard. It only takes a small amount of pressure to remove plaque and bacteria from teeth. In addition, watch your sugar intake and brush your teeth, or rinse out your mouth, after every meal.
What Is a Filling?

Fillings help to restore teeth which have been damaged by decay. A filling will allow your tooth to regain normal, painless functionality and will prevent further decay in the future. When you visit our office, our dental practitioner will take a number of factors into consideration when selecting the type of filling material which best suits your needs. These factors will include the following: the extent of the repair, the cost of the filling and the location of the cavity.
