Did you know that according to the World Health Organization, 60-90% of children worldwide, and nearly 100% of adults have dental cavities? Despite these staggering statistics, maintaining optimal oral health is easier than you might think. At the office of 21st Century Dental Care, we offer a comprehensive selection of preventive and dental services to help patients of all ages keep their smiles healthy and bright.
Tooth decay begins when dental plaque—a sticky film that forms on your teeth—is not regularly removed. If left unchecked, this plaque can harden into tartar, which is even more difficult to remove and can lead to gum disease. Additionally, diets high in sugary sweets, acidic foods, and beverages can increase your risk of tooth decay. Other factors that may contribute to tooth decay include dry mouth, teeth grinding, receding gums, and deeply grooved dental enamel.
As dental professionals, we believe the best way to maintain optimal oral health is through preventive care. By visiting our office for regular checkups, you can help catch any developing tooth decay early on, before it has a chance to cause more significant damage. While cavities are almost entirely preventable, it's essential to address any signs of tooth decay as soon as possible.
When you come in for a checkup at our office, you can trust that your teeth and gums are in good hands. We use the most advanced dental technology and techniques to thoroughly evaluate your oral health, looking for any signs of dental disease or potential issues. Each exam is accompanied by a professional teeth cleaning to remove any plaque or tartar buildup that may have been missed during your regular brushing and flossing routine. We'll also offer guidance on how you can improve your oral hygiene habits at home.
While tooth decay is a common concern, regular visits to our office can help prevent cavities. At the office of 21st Century Dental Care, we provide personalized, state-of-the-art solutions for all your dental healthcare needs. To learn more or schedule an appointment, call today.
