You know the credit card advert, so much stuff to buy and yet some things in life money just cannot buy. Its a bit like this in dentistry. As a dentist we can help you keep your teeth and gums healthy, move your teeth back into a natural line, fill in the gaps with restorations or change the colour with whitening. All this leads to a healthy mouth and to smile more. I never bill my patients for smiling more this part cannot be bought.
As humans we have evolved over millions of years to become the fine upstanding species we are now. Ok sarcasm aside we have done a pretty good job of becoming top of the food chain and can still look down on all below us. There are many reasons why this has happened and the core reason for me is our adaptability to our environment.
There is a saying ‘Prevention is better than cure’. So how do we prevent our mouths from becoming ‘ill’. Many people only visit a dentist when there is a problem, in other words when they are in pain. We call this distress dentistry. Are you surprised then that such avoidance is not of long term benefit to you?
ow many of you have had root canal treatment? Drilling into the roots of your teeth to remove the nerve increases the life span of a damaged or decaying tooth. Often people don’t realise there is a problem until one day they chew on something and feel a crack in one of their teeth,the next moment they realise a piece of their tooth has broken off.
Tooth cleaning, its a big business. Whether you are using a Sonicare electric tooth brush or a simple chemists own value brand what are you looking out for?
