Tooth decay is a common issue faced by many people worldwide, with the World Health Organization reporting that 60-90% of children and nearly 100% of adults have dental cavities. Fortunately, maintaining good oral hygiene can significantly reduce your risk of developing tooth decay. At our dental office, we offer various preventive and dental services to help patients of all ages maintain optimal oral health.
Tooth decay forms when dental plaque is not regularly removed from around your teeth and gums. Factors that can increase your risk for tooth decay include a diet high in sugary sweets, acidic foods, and beverages, as well as conditions like dry mouth, teeth grinding, receding gums, and deeply grooved dental enamel. As experienced dental professionals, we emphasize the importance of preventive care to keep your teeth healthy and strong.
While cavities are almost entirely preventable, early detection and treatment of developing tooth decay is crucial to avoid further damage and more severe consequences to your oral health and overall well-being. Regular checkups with our dental team can help catch any potential issues before they become serious problems.
When you visit our dental office for a checkup, you can trust that your teeth are in the best of hands. Using state-of-the-art technology and techniques, we carefully evaluate your teeth, gums, and jaw for any signs of dental disease or developing problems. In addition to assessing your oral health, every exam performed by our dentist includes a thorough professional teeth cleaning to remove any plaque or tartar buildup that you may have missed while brushing or flossing at home. We'll also review your current oral care routine and offer guidance on how you can improve your daily dental hygiene habits.
