While it may not be as common as the common cold, dental decay is a close second when it comes to prevalence among health issues. If left untreated, tooth decay can lead to compromised tooth structure, damage to vital tissues inside the tooth, and even severe infection or tooth loss. However, with regular checkups and proper oral care, cavities are almost entirely preventable.
Dental decay occurs when plaque is not consistently removed from around the teeth and gums. This plaque harbors bacteria that can harm oral health, making it crucial to remove it regularly. At Above & Beyond Dentistry & Implants, we prioritize early detection and prevention of dental disease to avoid minor issues escalating into major oral health problems. When you visit our office for a checkup, your smile and that of your loved ones will be in the best possible care.
Our comprehensive preventive care program includes professional teeth cleanings to remove any accumulated plaque or tartar missed during brushing or flossing. We also review your home care routine and offer guidance on how you can maintain better oral hygiene between checkups.
Due to inconsistent oral hygiene practices and dietary habits, children are more susceptible to developing cavities. In fact, studies show that 78% of children will have had a cavity by the age of 17. To provide additional protection against tooth decay in children, our dentist often recommends periodic fluoride treatments and dental sealants.
If diagnosed with tooth decay, it's essential not to delay treatment. Without proper care, cavities can worsen over time, causing further damage and discomfort. Our dentist will carefully remove any damaged tooth structure and place a restoration to rebuild your tooth's structural integrity, appearance, and function. We also use the latest generation of cosmetically appealing, tooth-colored materials that blend seamlessly with your smile.
Although dental decay is a widespread oral health concern, regular visits to our office can help prevent cavities from forming. At Above & Beyond Dentistry & Implants, we provide personalized, state-of-the-art solutions for all your dental healthcare needs. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, call today.
