Oral health is much more than healthy teeth and gums, it is “a window to your overall health”. But unfortunately, going to the dentist isn’t always easy.
Adults and children put off going to the dentist for one reason or another. It could be from a traumatic event when you were younger, the sound of the drill, gag reflex, or a number of other situations.
Life is Short and You Deserve a Great Smile and Healthy Teeth
Sedation dentistry allows all the treatments you need, whether it’s a cleaning, filling, extraction, and a root canal, it can all be done in one appointment! It is definitely worth it, just imagine waking up from a relaxing nap and all your dental work is complete.
“The mouth is filled with countless bacteria, some linked to tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease. Researchers have found that periodontitis (the advanced form of periodontal disease that can cause tooth loss) is linked with other health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, stroke and bacterial pneumonia,” according to Healthy Mouth.
Schedule regular dental checkups. Professional cleanings are the only way to remove calculus (tartar), which traps plaque bacteria along the gum line.
If you notice any of these signs, see your dentist:
gums that bleed during brushing and flossing;
red, swollen or tender gums;
gums that have pulled away from your teeth;
persistent bad breath;
pus between your teeth and gums;
loose or separating teeth;
a change in the way your teeth fit together when you bite;
a change in the fit of partial dentures.
Increase Your Confidence and Oral Health in a Comfortable, Relaxing Environment
Adult and children with mobility issues or physical limitations can have a difficult time sitting in the dental chair for an extended period of time. The necessity for several visits can significantly impact the situations.
