Choosing a dentist who “clicks” with you and your family is important, and you may wish to consider several dentists before making your final decision. During your first visit, you should be able to determine whether the dentist is right for you. During your appointment, consider the following:
1. Is the appointment schedule convenient?
2. Is the office easy to get to and close by?
3. Does the office appear to be clean and orderly?
4. Was your medical and dental history recorded and placed in a permanent file?
5. Does the dentist explain techniques for good oral health?
6. Is information about the cost presented to you before treatment is scheduled?
Also known as periodontal disease, gum disease is mostly caused by plaque and bacteria buildup that is not treated in its early stage. Other causes of periodontal disease include tobacco use, teeth grinding, some medications, and genetics. Gingivitis is the beginning stage of gum disease, and, if detected, is treatable. Gingivitis left untreated may turn into gum disease. Advanced gum disease will lead to tooth and bone loss, and is a permanent condition. Brushing your teeth regularly and visiting the dentist every six months will help prevent gingivitis and more severe cases of periodontal disease. Common signs of gum disease:
1. Red, irritated, bleeding, or swollen gums
2. Chronic bad breath
3. Loose teeth, or loss of teeth
4. Extreme tooth sensitivity
5. Receding gum line
6. Abscessed teeth
Yes! In fact, it’s even more important that patients receiving orthodontic treatment visit their dentist regularly. With braces, food may be caught in places that your toothbrush can’t reach. This causes bacteria to build up and can lead to cavities, gingivitis, and gum disease. Your dentist will work closely with your orthodontist to make sure that your teeth stay clean and healthy while wearing braces.
