Why is it important to visit our dentist Sheffield?
It is important that you visit our dentist Sheffield on a regular basis to make sure that your teeth are clean and white and your breath is minty fresh. Our dentist helps make sure that your teeth are free of cavities or decay and your gums are strong and free of disease. Without regular visits to our dentist Sheffield, despite having a good dental hygiene routine at home, you will find that plaque and tartar can build up in your mouth. This is because your tooth brush or floss cannot reach around each tooth and bacteria, food particles and plaque remain behind the teeth and in between the teeth which leads to dental complications in the future. Did you know that almost 40% of each tooth is hidden, either because it is joined with your adjacent tooth or it is too far back for the toothbrush to reach properly? This gives plenty of opportunity for plaque and tartar to develop resulting in cavities, tooth decay and gum disease.
When you visit our dentist Sheffield you will undergo a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to make sure that they are clean and healthy. Any excess plaque and tartar can be removed with a professional scale and polish to help promote fresh breath, healthy teeth and stronger gums.
Tooth decay and its unpleasant symptoms
If you are suffering from tooth decay you may notice grey, brown or black spots appearing on the surface of your teeth. At first these may not be visible to you, but your dentist will be able to identify them very early on in the process. Your breath will begin to smell and you may notice sensitivity and toothache. This can worsen very quickly so it is important that you visit our dentist regularly to prevent such symptoms or at the very least you need to visit us at the first sign of any of these symptoms.
Gum disease and its many complications
If you are suffering from gum disease you may notice redness and swelling of your gums. Another key symptom is bleeding after brushing or flossing your teeth. If gum disease is left untreated, the tissues and bone connected to the teeth can become affected, which is also known as periodontal disease. The symptoms of periodontal disease include an unpleasant taste in your mouth, bad breath, bleeding, wobbly teeth and eventually it can cause tooth loss. To lose your teeth at any age as an adult is a traumatic situation to find yourself in so you need to make sure that you do not let it get that far. You need to visit us at Dee Kay Dental at least once every six months and more often if possible to keep your teeth free of tooth decay and gum disease.
By visiting the dentist on a regular basis you will be able to help prevent such diseases, prolong the life of your teeth and enjoy good dental health and overall wellbeing. Your dental health has a significant impact on your body and affects you on a day-to-day basis, therefore it is important that you look after your teeth for a better quality of life.
