Is It Time to Book Your Next Teeth Clean?
Preventive Dentistry
Did you know that one of the best ways to protect your healthy and beautiful smile is to visit your Mernda dentist every six months for routine teeth cleans and exams?
Better yet, most health funds help reduce the out-of-pocket expense of dental procedures like professional teeth cleans and check-ups.
The Oral Systemic Connection
Over the years, science has shown us a clear connection between dental and overall health. This makes sense since your mouth is essentially the gateway to your body.
The bacteria causing gum disease has been closely linked with the inflammation that causes these systemic health concerns:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Stroke
- Dementia
- Complications during pregnancy
- Arthritis
If you have one or more of these health conditions, it’s more likely that you’ll develop gum disease and vice versa.
Routine teeth cleans and exams protect you from gum disease because we screen you for it every six months. Gum disease is easier to treat and manage in its early stage (gingivitis). Once it progresses and becomes advanced (periodontitis), there is no cure.
What Can You Expect at a Preventive Dental Appointment?
When you visit your dentist in Mernda every six months for routine teeth cleans and checks, you can expect to enjoy a healthy and functional smile!
During your visit with Dr Malik, he’ll check the health of your current restorations to alert you to any problematic wear or breakdown. This can help you avoid emergencies since you can repair or replace any old restorations before they break down.
He will also screen you for early signs of gum disease and tooth decay. These conditions are best treated as early as possible before they become more significant and cause discomfort.
We will also remove the excess plaque and bacteria build-up in your mouth during your professional teeth clean. Plaque contributes to problems like gum disease and cavities, and we can help remove it from hard-to-reach areas you may have missed during your home care.
Your preventive appointments are an excellent time to discuss any dental concerns or ask any treatment questions you may have. We’re here to be your partners and mentors in excellent dental health, and patient education is an integral part of mentoring and something we love to do! The more you know and understand about your dental health, the better decisions you’ll make for your smile.
