Types of preventative care:
Total Care Dental provides you with excellent, comprehensive and preventative oral health care in Madison. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends visiting your local dentist for a check-up at least twice yearly. Nearly every dental health issue can be prevented with routine dental exams and teeth cleaning.
Basic preventive dentistry includes:
The main two causes of tooth loss are decay and gum disease. Regular teeth cleanings and good oral hygiene are key to preventing these dental problems. At your routine check-up, you'll learn the best oral hygiene techniques to remove plaque known to form on your teeth. You may also need recommendations for oral care products, your diet or how to quit bad habits for maintaining your oral health in between dental visits.
Preventative dentistry is also important for discovering oral health issues before they become worse. At routine appointments, your dentist can check for early signs of oral cancer, periodontal disease and bruxism. If you go too long without visiting your dentist, it could result in damage to your teeth, mouth, gums and even overall health. Early detection of oral health problems could save you money on costly treatments.
Yes, any food and drinks containing sugar can cause tooth decay. Cutting down on sugary snacks and drinks will help reduce this risk. Recommended foods to keep your teeth healthy and happy include cheese, fruit, nuts and vegetables. These foods can also prevent gum disease and protect your mouth against oral cancer.
Tooth staining, tooth loss and mouth cancer are all common side effects of smoking. Smoking can also make gum disease worse. The best advice dentists have for smokers is to give it up, but if you can't, you should visit your dental team more often to compensate.
Alcohol also increases your risk of mouth cancer. Large consumption of alcoholic beverages containing sugar or acids can cause decay and erosion. Cutting down on your consumption could greatly benefit your oral health.
Typically, a routine dental appointment will consist of a comprehensive exam (evaluation of your mouth for tooth decay, periodontal disease & oral cancer) and professional cleaning. TCD Madison dentists will:
