Why going to the dentist in Teddington is so beneficial

In achieving lifelong optimal dental (and overall physical health) there is one non-negotiable that a patient is obliged to observe – keeping to scheduled check-up appointments at the dentist in Teddington. Patients fail to realise just how important these check-ups are which is why skipping out on these visits is such a common trend today.
It is only when they find that their smile is unhappy and unhealthy that dental care becomes a priority for a patient. But there is much that our well-experienced dentist in Teddington at Kirby Dental can do for a patient BEFORE their oral health reaches this stage. For a dental professional to take these vital steps, they will need to physically examine teeth themselves routinely to identify warning symptoms and suggest a suitable preventive treatment to avoid the condition from worsening.
We take a look at the rewards of keeping to these regular dental visits.
Yes, some patients may find the physical examination of the mouth intrusive but this should not be a reason to miss that check-up. Nor is the reason because you are fearful of bad news.
The only time a patient has cause to fear bad news is when they have not been to a dentist in Teddington for a very long time – they have skipped out on numerous check-ups over the years. By staying away from the dental chair, there is an increased chance of a dental problem, dental decay being a common one which may necessitate intrusive treatment like root canal therapy. Another one is gum disease which may require prolonged treatment if left to advance to later stages.
Regular professional deep cleanings (also referred to as the scale and polish) is a basic preventive treatment that protects teeth from cavities forming which helps against tooth loss. For a patient, preventing tooth decay means they get to keep their natural teeth for as long as they are healthy and avoid the costly expense of restorative treatments down the line.
Another highly effective treatment that can act as the first line of defence against cavities are fluoride treatments at the dentist. Exposing the teeth to fluoride has been found to be highly effective in strengthening enamel against the eroding invasion of bad bacteria. While patients have the option of buying over-the-counter toothpastes and mouthwashes containing fluoride, these are not as effective as professional treatments carried out by a dental professional.
Indications of tooth movement are not usually noticed by the patient. For this, a dental professional needs the help of digital x-rays which look at teeth below the gum line. Should there be evidence of tooth movement, a dentist can look at treatments that help with this condition.
Our dental team at Kirby Dental encourages patients to play their important part in maintaining their oral health. A patient’s obligations go beyond daily brushing and flossing at home, it also means paying our clinic a visit for essential check-ups that can only be carried out by a properly qualified dentist. Book an appointment with our dentist to get your oral health checked and ensure there are no problems lurking where you can’t see them.
