Your
first Visit to the Dentist.
During
the first visit to our office, and after recording your personal records
and establishing your financial responsibility, a dental evaluation is
usually performed along with a medical questionnaire
to ensure your safety. Your blood pressure is taken for our records. We
check the condition of your teeth and gums usually with the help of some
x-rays.
Concerns
you may have about your smile can be discussed. We can look at all the
available cosmetic options.
Missing
Teeth
When
any teeth are missing this places more strain on the remaining teeth and
the supporting structures of these teeth tend to drift and tilt when they
are lacking the mutual support of the neighboring teeth. Imagine a car
with four wheels – if one is missing or flat then the whole system is thrown
out of balance.
Gums
Your
gums are designed to keep the blood in and the bacteria out. If your gums
bleed then the bacteria can get into your body and disease will surely
develop. The latest research shows that plaque (which builds up on the
surface of your teeth) and bacteria are the cause of gum disease, when
your immune level is low.
Proper
teeth brushing
Most
people fail to clean the areas between the teeth, this is where cavities
and periodontal (gum) disease begin. In order to prevent dental disease
you must change the way you care fore your teeth. Our commitment is to
teach you how to never have any new disease, your commitment as a patient
is to follow our advice, about seven minutes a day is all it takes.
