Delving Deeper into Dental Decay

Few people realize that tooth decay is the second most common health issue, closely following the common cold. Cavities can lead to compromised tooth structure, damaged tissue inside teeth, and even severe infection or tooth loss if left untreated.

The origins of dental decay and the significance of preventative care

Dental decay begins when plaque is not consistently removed from around your teeth and gums. Plaque harbors bacteria that are detrimental to oral health, so diligence in removing it is crucial for preventing cavities.

At the office of Crown Dental Group, we prioritize the detection and prevention of dental disease early on to stop minor issues from escalating into major oral health problems. When you visit us for a checkup, you can trust that your smile and those of your loved ones are in the best possible hands. We use state-of-the-art technology and techniques to thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and jaw for any signs of dental disease or developing issues.

As part of a comprehensive preventative care program, every checkup includes a professional teeth cleaning to eliminate any accumulations of plaque or tartar you may have missed while brushing or flossing. Our dental team will also review your home care routine and offer guidance on how to clean and care for your teeth more effectively between appointments.

Extra preventative measures for children

Due to inconsistent oral hygiene habits and dietary choices, children are particularly susceptible to developing cavities. In fact, studies indicate that 78% of children will have experienced a cavity by the time they reach age 17. As an added layer of protection against tooth decay in children, our dentist often recommends periodic fluoride treatments and dental sealants.

Patient comfort and care are our top priorities

If you're diagnosed with tooth decay, it's essential not to delay treatment. Without intervention, cavities will worsen and cause more damage and discomfort over time. Our dentist will carefully remove any damaged tooth structure and place a restoration to restore your tooth's structural integrity, appearance, and function. We use the latest generation of aesthetically pleasing, tooth-colored materials that blend seamlessly with your smile.
