General dentistry provides an important line of defense for your smile, one that can keep you safe against cavities, gum disease, and other problems that can affect your appearance as well as your health. During your time in the dentist’s chair at Sunny Smiles, you can count on thorough reviews, guidance, and professional cleanings to lower your risks for problems. You can also rely on us to provide early warnings as well as treatments when there are issues to address. What can happen if you stop regularly scheduling these appointments? Without them, you are more vulnerable to the onset of problems as well as complications that can threaten your well-being and require more advanced restorative services.
The Importance Of General Dental Visits
General dental visits benefit you in key ways, and they should be considered a valuable part of your overall strategy for protecting your smile. Without them, you lose out on cleanings that will keep your smile safe from the threat of tartar buildup. You also miss out on opportunities to have problems with your well-being identified and addressed in a timely manner. General appointments benefit both adults and children. Because we offer care to patients of all ages, we can provide pediatric dental work for your kids and also make sure your smile is in good shape!
What To Expect From Your Next Routine Appointment
At a typical appointment, both a review and a cleaning will take place to help you protect your smile:
- Your hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth. During this session, you are given feedback about your oral hygiene efforts, which will include warnings about areas that are not receiving enough attention. Because this care removes tartar buildup, it can help you improve your smile and lower your risk for the onset of of problems.
- When your dentist evaluates you, feedback can be given regarding the formation of cavities, problems with gum disease, and regarding potential problems with jaw pain from TMJ disorder. Hopefully, you can learn that no problems require treatment. If further care is required, we can explain the issue and what it will take to address it.
Dealing With Oral Health Issues Identified At An Appointment
Cavity concerns are addressed during a regular dental exam. At this appointment, your dentist will let you know both where the cavity is located and how severe it is. With this information, we determine what kind of restoration is needed, and what material should be used to make it. When we care for teeth that are visible when you smile and speak, we can provide protection with crowns and fillings that imitate healthy enamel. For other issues, like gum disease or TMJ therapy, we can offer services to address the problem and help you regain your health and comfort.
