Personal Dental Care: Yes, You Have To Go To The Dentist


Even if you say that you take care of your teeth very
well, you still can’t evade the fact that you still
have to go and visit your dentist at least twice a
year.

Sure, it’s really not fun to go to the dentist but if
you really want to achieve the best personal dental
care for your teeth, regular visits to the dentist
would be of great help to you.

What Happens At A Typical Visit To The Dentist Going
to the dentist every six months is considered more as
prevention against cavities, plaque build-up and other
teeth and mouth-related problems.

The goal of dentists is to prevent gun disease, tooth
decay, and other disorders that put the health of your
teeth and mouth in jeopardy.

A casual consultation with a dentist will usually
consist of three parts: a medical and dental history
(this is where the dentist asks questions about tooth
care and reviews past dental records), dental
examination and professional cleaning (oral
prophylaxis).

The dentist will then examine the gums, teeth and
other tissues surrounding the mouth. The joints of the
jaws may also be included in the examination to check
for the over-all health of an individual’s mouth.

Dentists usually use a probe and mirror to check the
crown (the visible part) of each tooth for evidence of
looseness, decay or plaque. The dentist may also check
the quality of your bite and the way your teeth fit
together.

After checking the teeth, the dentist will usually
proceed to examine the general condition of the gums.
Healthy gums are pink and firm - not swollen, soft or
inflamed.

If the dentist can find deep depressions (or pockets),
he or she might suspect that an individual has gum
disease.

When the dentist is finished examining the visible
parts of the mouth and teeth, the dentist will then
take X-rays that could possibly reveal abscesses,
tooth decay, or impacted wisdom teeth.

Abscesses should really be discovered right away
because it involves collection of pus surrounded by
tissues that are swollen. If it won’t be treated right
away, it might be a source for other complications.

Why Professional Cleaning Is Better Than Normal Tooth
Brushing
Professional cleaning aims to remove hard
deposits with the use of a scraping instrument named a
scaler.

Aside from a scaler, an ultrasonic machine may also be
used by the dentist; it uses high frequency sound
waves to facilitate the loosening of plaque deposits.

After cleaning, most dental hygienists will polish the
teeth. Polishing of the teeth smoothens and cleans the
teeth’s surfaces, removing annoying stains and making
the teeth more resistant to plaque.

There are also some dental hygiene package that
consists of application of fluoride sealant or
compound to help prevent or slow down decay.

Going To The Dentist Isn’t So Bad After All Now that
you are already aware of what happens during a regular
trip to the dentist, you would probably think that a
trip to the dentist won’t be so bad, right?

If you want to promote personal dental care, you
should be the first one to have the initiative to go
to the dentist.

You can’t achieve the best personal dental care if you
just depend on yourself and your resources at home.

Dentists are equipped with tools, machines and
instruments that would surely make your teeth and
mouth cleaner, fresher and better.
