The first and most important step to healthy teeth is regular brushing and flossing. Together with healthy eating habits and regular dental check-ups, most of the dental problems, such as cavities and gum diseases, can well be avoided altogether. Moreover, good oral health is essential for maintaining our general health. Because we only have one set of permanent teeth, it is never too early to teach children how to care for their teeth, so that it can become a habit for a lifetime.
Brushing twice daily, and flossing at least once a day, will prevent your teeth and gums from possible problems. Brushing 3 times a day after each meal is perfect; however, do not brush too often, as compulsive brushing can aggravate the gums and cause erosion of enamel. Brushing should be done in a gentle, circular motion that should last for 2-3 minutes, without missing to brush the inner surfaces of teeth where it is harder to reach. Try to brush each tooth one by one, preferably in front of the mirror to make sure you are not missing any spots.
Brushing your tongue gently with your toothbrush, or a tongue brush, is an effective way of removing bacteria and keeping your breath fresh. Flossing is vital, as it removes food and plaque which a toothbrush cannot reach. If you are not flossing, you are missing a significant area of your teeth.
It is recommended to visit your dentist twice a year for check-ups and professional cleaning, as it detects the early signs of cavities, gum disease, or any kind of arising concerns, and treats it before it becomes severe. It is important to remove calculus (tartar) professionally, as the hardened plaque is not removed by regular brushing. Professional cleaning not only prevents cavities, but also makes your teeth shine. It removes minor stains and makes you feel all freshened-up with good breath.
Please bring your removable dentures at a check-up to make sure they fit correctly, and the supporting teeth are in good condition.
Every patient who comes into our practice will receive a thorough and comprehensive consultation to start, before any kind of treatment that might be needed. Our experienced team of professionals will cater to your dental needs, using the latest technologies and equipment to ensure efficiency, quality, and the best possible comfort for your visits.
Whether you come to our practice with a pain in your mouth, or just for a general check-up, we take a good look at your full mouth, including gums and pockets, to ensure we provide you with the most appropriate treatment/prevention you might require. It is recommended that you have your dental check-up every 6 months to detect early stages of tooth decay or gum disease. At the consultation, we use digital x-ray to check the hidden areas deep down…roots and bones that are not visible otherwise. Taking an x-ray is crucial for detecting tooth decay and periodontal disease.
Update your medical history. Many diseases can affect your mouth and teeth. For example, people with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing periodontal disease. Update your medication with dosages. Some medicines cause dry mouth, which can increase the risk of cavities. An updated medication list will ensure that any drugs we prescribe doesn’t interact with drugs you are already taking.
Take X-rays when necessary. Normally every 24 months for decay screening. X rays can be very helpful in detecting dental problems which may not be apparent during the clinical examination.
For a Full Mouth Consultation come and see us at Dr.Sushma Dental.
When decay is detected, it is removed and then the tooth is filled with tooth-coloured material called composite. Composite comes in various shades, so there will always be a matching shade for your teeth. Unlike the traditional silver filling, the composite looks so natural. It’s matched to the natural shade of your teeth, and it doesn’t look like you had a filling. It is also very strong and durable. All our treatments are pain-free and we prioritise the patient’s comfort first. So feel assured that you will be well-looked-after at our clinic.
How to prevent tooth decay There are two simple ways to dramatically reduce your risk of developing tooth decay:
Brush your teeth twice a day: Brushing your teeth regularly will manually remove plaque before it has a chance to become a problem. It’s important to floss once a day too, to make sure you reach the plaque in between your teeth. If plaque does get the chance to harden and turn in to tartar, all is not lost – but you will need to see your dentist to have it removed.
Reduce the sugar in your diet : As we’ve already learnt, the bacteria in plaque feed on sugar and produce the destructive acids that cause tooth decay. Therefore, reducing your intake of the sweet stuff can also help to cut your risk of tooth decay. Where your teeth and sugar intake is concerned, frequency is just as important as quantity. Every time you enjoy something sugary, it takes your mouth around 30 minutes to neutralise the resulting acidity. So, if you’re constantly snacking, this will create the perfect environment for tooth decay. Similarly, cutting back on acidic foods and drinks will also help you to cut your risk of erosion and tooth decay.
