Tooth decay is an incredibly common problem, with the World Health Organization reporting that 60-90% of children worldwide and nearly 100% of adults have dental cavities. However, maintaining good oral hygiene can significantly reduce your risk of developing tooth decay. At our dental office, we offer a wide range of preventive and dental services to help people of all ages maintain optimal oral health.
Tooth decay occurs when plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth, is not removed regularly. Certain factors can increase your risk of tooth decay, including a diet high in sugar and acidic foods, dry mouth, teeth grinding, receding gums, and deeply grooved dental enamel. As experienced dental professionals, we firmly believe that prevention is the best way to maintain good oral health. Regular checkups allow us to catch any developing dental issues early on, preventing further damage and more severe consequences for your oral health and overall well-being.
When you visit our dental office for a checkup, you can be confident that your teeth are in good hands. Using the most advanced dental technology and techniques, we carefully evaluate 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 thorough professional cleaning to remove any plaque or tartar buildup that you may have missed while brushing or flossing. We'll also review your home care routine and offer guidance on how to clean and care for your teeth more effectively between checkups.
Although tooth decay is a widespread issue, with regular visits to our dental office, it can be prevented. We provide personalized, state-of-the-art solutions for all your dental healthcare needs. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, get in touch with us today.
