When dental problems are detected early, then the dentist can perform treatment for early intervention so you avoid future larger problems that might be painful and costly. Some issues that are most often detected during regular dental exams include:



Cavities and tooth decay



Impacted wisdom teeth that can lead to infection and damage other teeth



Teeth wear or erosion from regular teeth grinding



Gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis

Remember that cavities are not always visible or painful and gum disease may not be noticeable until in the later stages. In addition, plaque that cannot be removed with regular brushing so can build up on the teeth and lead to gum disease and other health problems. But regular dental examinations can help you avoid all that and keep your oral health in top shape.

Early Detection and Prevention

Since the entire body is connected, problems with oral health may stem from health issues in other areas, or can be indicative of health problems. Dentists are specially trained in this and are equipped with tools to treat all dental problems. The following are some of the health issues that are linked to oral health:

Early Detection and Prevention

Since the entire body is connected, problems with oral health may stem from health issues in other areas, or can be indicative of health problems. Dentists are specially trained in this and are equipped with tools to treat all dental problems. The following are some of the health issues that are linked to oral health:

Candida or Oral Thrush

Candida albicans is part of our natural oral environment but can become problematic when it overgrows and causes infection. This can happen because of medications or a suppressed immune system and symptoms can appear in the mouth as white patches and film. Your dentist can easily detect it and take action to prevent a worse infection.

Diabetes

Diabetes puts patients at a higher risk of gum disease. That’s because diabetes puts patients at risk for all sorts of infections, including gum disease. Regular oral hygiene is important as are dental exams and cleanings to ensure your mouth stays healthy and infection risk is lowered.

Acid Reflux

Acid reflux can happen at any age due to a number of reasons. Unfortunately, aside from stomach pain, the acid that backs up can corrode tooth enamel, leaving your teeth sensitive and weak. With early detection, our dentists can treat the enamel and provide protection so you can focus on feeling better.

Leukemia

Leukemia often requires chemotherapy treatments, which can increase the risk of infections like periodontitis and gingivitis. If you experience bleeding and swelling of the gums, a dental examination can determine the best treatment to resolve the issues and professional hygiene can be part of the treatment to heal your mouth and to lower your risk of future infection.

Of course, not all oral health problems are linked to medical problems, but regular dental exams can help keep small problems from growing and put your mind at ease knowing you are being proactive in your health care. Dental problems not only cause pain but can lead to tooth loss and stop you from enjoying life as eating becomes a problem or stress interferes with sleep.

At Dental Couture, we use the latest technology to provide dental treatments with more efficiency and less pain than in the past. In fact, many procedures lead to little or no discomfort. If you do have pain or dental anxiety, we can help with that, too, simply inform us ahead of time so we can work together to ensure your comfort.
