Frequently Asked Questions
A routine dental check-up consists of a thorough examination and professional teeth cleaning. The dental team monitors your overall oral health and pays special attention to potential problem areas during the exam. Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup that even diligent brushing and flossing might miss.
Cavities develop when food particles, particularly in hard-to-reach places, are left behind. These particles provide a feast for mouth bacteria, which produce acid as they multiply. The acid erodes tooth enamel, leading to decay. A diet high in sugary or acidic foods and beverages, like soda or coffee, can hasten this process.
Genetics play a significant role in the likelihood of developing cavities. Some individuals are naturally more prone to cavity-causing bacteria, while others may have teeth that are more crowded and harder to clean effectively. Regardless of genetic predisposition, maintaining excellent oral hygiene and healthy eating habits at home is crucial to minimizing the risk of cavities.
Absolutely. Fillings are essential in preventing further tooth decay and avoiding future discomfort. Addressing the issue early with a filling is beneficial, as it stops the decay while it is still manageable and prevents it from becoming a more serious problem.
Routine cleanings are essential in preventing and sometimes even reversing tooth decay. Early decay can be addressed with fluoride treatments and composite fillings. If the decay has progressed to an infection, a root canal can save the tooth. Severely decayed teeth might require a dental crown for a natural look and function, or dental veneers to resurface the tooth. In extreme cases, extraction may be necessary, followed by a dental implant or bridge to restore your smile and bite. The appropriate treatment depends on the specific condition of your teeth.
Yes, it is safe and recommended to have preventative teeth cleaning and routine exams during pregnancy to avoid oral infections and address any dental symptoms that may arise. In case of a dental emergency, such as an infection, more intensive procedures like a root canal might be necessary. However, elective treatments, such as teeth whitening, should be deferred until after the baby’s birth.
