Dental prevention is the name of the game when it comes to taking care of your smile. After all, there are what seem like countless factors that can threaten and negatively influence your grin, and unfortunately, there are not many natural protections out there to fend them off. As such, your dentist recommends a thorough preventive routine to keep your structures healthy. This often consists of brushing at least twice a day, flossing after meals, and of course, attending your routine checkups and cleanings.
Even still, however, there are instances where you may come up short in terms of high-quality care. For instance, perhaps you have forgotten to brush on a few occasions or have difficulty reaching the difficult-to-access areas of the mouth.
You may even brush regularly but believe flossing is a waste of time, but all of these factors can influence the way bacteria interact with your smile. As such, it is important to have a backup plan such as restorative treatment to help address concerns that may develop. For more information about this process and how our team can help, contact our office today.
Just like wildfire, infection can spread rapidly once it has set in. Taking a look at tooth decay – the most common oral health phenomenon in the world – we see the early warning signs include sensitivity, aching, and even cavity formation. Further, the longer you go without treatment, the worse the situation will be. To mitigate spreading infection, your dentist recommends seeking treatment sooner rather than later, and dental fillings can help. Contact our team today to learn more about your options.
In order to provide the best results for your smile, a cavity is best addressed with a mercury-free filling. This process involves cleaning the affected area and removing the decaying portions of a structure. Following this, we will fill the open cavity with our composite material, shape it to satisfaction, then cure it to finish the process.
