Did you know that almost 100% of adults worldwide suffer from dental cavities? This alarming statistic is a clear indication that proper oral care is crucial for maintaining healthy teeth. At the office of 24/7 Dental, we offer an array of preventative and dental services to ensure our patients, both young and old, enjoy optimal oral health.
Tooth decay is primarily caused by the buildup of dental plaque around your teeth and gums. If not removed regularly through proper brushing and flossing, this sticky substance can lead to cavities. Factors such as a diet high in sugar, acidic foods, and beverages, or conditions like dry mouth, teeth grinding, receding gums, and deeply grooved dental enamel can also increase your risk of developing tooth decay.
As experienced providers of care, we strongly emphasize the importance of preventative dentistry as the best way to maintain optimal oral health. Regular checkups enable us to detect any signs of dental disease early on and provide timely treatment to avoid further damage and complications. Although tooth decay is largely preventable, it's essential to address any developing issues promptly.
When you visit our office for a checkup, rest assured that your oral health is in good hands. We use state-of-the-art technology and techniques to meticulously examine your teeth, gums, and jaw for any signs of dental disease or potential problems. In addition to assessing your oral health, every exam conducted by our dentist includes a comprehensive professional teeth cleaning to remove any hardened plaque or tartar buildup that may have been missed during regular brushing or flossing. We'll also review your home care routine and offer guidance on how you can more effectively clean and care for your teeth between checkups.
While tooth decay is a common oral health concern, with regular visits to our dental office, cavities can be prevented. At the office of 24/7 Dental, we provide personalized and cutting-edge solutions for all your dental care needs. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, call today.
