Tooth decay is a common problem, with the World Health Organization estimating that 60-90% of children worldwide and nearly 100% of adults have dental cavities. However, by practicing proper oral care, you can significantly lower your risk of developing tooth decay. At Verrett Dental Center, our skilled dentists offer a wide range of preventive and restorative dental services to help patients of all ages maintain optimal oral health.
Tooth decay occurs when dental plaque is not consistently removed from around the teeth and gums. Factors that can increase your risk for tooth decay include a diet high in sugary sweets, acidic foods, and beverages, as well as conditions like dry mouth, teeth grinding, receding gums, and deeply grooved dental enamel. As experienced dental professionals, we emphasize the importance of preventive care to help maintain optimal oral health. Regular checkups also allow for early detection and treatment of dental issues.
When you visit our dental office for an appointment, you can trust that your smile is in the best of hands. We use state-of-the-art technology and techniques to thoroughly evaluate your teeth, gums, and jaw for any signs of dental disease or developing problems. In addition to a comprehensive assessment of your oral health, every exam performed by our dentist includes a professional teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup that may have been missed during regular brushing and flossing. We'll also review your home care routine and offer guidance on how you can better care for your teeth between checkups.
While tooth decay is a widespread concern, with regular visits to our dental office, cavities can be effectively prevented. At Verrett Dental Center, we provide personalized, cutting-edge solutions for all your dental care needs. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, get in touch with us today.
