Preventive Care for Kids and Young Adults
Many studies have shown that sealants can prevent dental decay. Your child's chances of developing cavities can be reduced with regular brushing and flossing. Sealants are of great help since children don't have such dedication towards dental care. Decay is most prone to attack the grooves and depressions on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth.
A sealant is a plastic-like coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth for aiding preventive care. It is quick, easy, and painless for your kids as it is essentially painted onto the teeth. As per the studies, sealants can bring down tooth decay by as much as 100%.
Sealants are recommended by the American Dental Association, as early as the first adult back teeth emerge at the age of six or seven. As each back tooth comes in until about age 13, while most kids get all of their adult molars, it is important to continue applying the sealant.
Tooth Loss Due to Gum Diseases and Plaque
From a young child to the elderly population, plaque strikes people at all stages of life. Our team can connect you with a qualified family dentist in Perry, GA that can help people of all ages with the removal of plaque buildup. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental cleanings are important for keeping plaque from impacting your smile. This soft, sticky layer of bacteria brings severe consequences for your teeth, including gum disease.
Regular visits to a dentist can prevent tooth loss. A missing tooth entails structural abnormalities and disfigures your face. You shouldn't assume that there is no problem as long as you're still able to eat without your missing tooth. A single missing tooth leads to other dental abnormalities.
The surrounding teeth try to drift into the vacant space. This affects your biting and chewing patterns. This also overloads the remaining teeth and you may experience pain even while you're not eating.
Prevention of a Dental Crisis
People are hesitant about regular dental visits. This is because they are unaware and underestimate dental issues. Avoiding preventive care will only put you at risk for far more extensive dental treatments in the future.
Filling a simple cavity is a quick and easy process. But negligence can turn them into dental diseases requiring complex treatments. It doesn't mean that everything is okay with your teeth just because nothing hurts. Get your problems detected when they're still small through regular exams and prevent further complications.
Until the problem reaches advanced stages, it may not reveal any symptoms. But later, the problem may require more extensive treatment. Tooth decay is a good example of this where it starts being painful only when it is advanced enough to get close to the nerve. Instead of a small filling, this makes a root canal, a crown or an extraction inevitable.
