Tooth decay is an all-too-common problem, with the World Health Organization estimating that 60-90% of children worldwide and nearly 100% of adults have dental cavities. But there's good news: maintaining optimal oral health is within your reach when you follow a consistent routine of proper care. At Smiles Elevated, our team offers a comprehensive selection of preventive and dental services to help patients of all ages preserve their healthy smiles.
Cavities form when dental plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth and gums, is not regularly removed. You may also be at higher risk for tooth decay if you consume a diet high in sugary sweets, acidic foods, and beverages. Other factors that can increase your risk include dry mouth, teeth grinding, receding gums, and deeply grooved dental enamel.
As experienced providers of care, we emphasize the importance of dental prevention as the best way to maintain optimal oral health. Regular checkups also allow us to detect any developing problems early on, before they can cause further damage or more severe consequences to your overall well-being. While cavities are almost entirely preventable, it's crucial to address any signs of tooth decay as soon as they appear.
When you visit our office for a checkup, you can trust that your teeth and gums are in the best of hands. We use advanced technology and techniques to carefully evaluate your oral health, looking for any signs of dental disease or developing issues. In addition to an assessment of your oral health, every exam performed by our dentist is accompanied by a thorough, professional teeth cleaning to remove any accumulations of plaque or tartar that you may have missed while brushing or flossing. We'll also review your home care routine and offer guidance on how you can clean and care for your teeth more effectively between checkups.
While tooth decay is widespread, it's comforting to know that regular visits to our office can help you avoid cavities. At Smiles Elevated, we provide personalized, state-of-the-art solutions for all of your dental healthcare needs. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, call today.
