First dental visit - for a child,
should be between the ages of 2 - 4 years old,
unless you suspect a problem.
Baby teeth - guide permanent teeth into proper
alignment unless they are removed prematurely.
Therefore, it is important to restore them if necessary.
Cavities grow - small problems are easier and
less expensive to repair.
Foods that contain sugar - are the leading
cause of tooth decay.
Gum disease - most adult teeth are lost to
this condition rather than tooth decay.
Bleeding gums - can be a sign of gum disease.
Regular dental cleanings - helps prevent gum
disease.
Brush tongue daily - to help eliminate bad
breath and bacteria build-up.
Fillings - seldom fall out on their own. Usually
they are weakened by surrounding decay.
Dental problems - should be taken care of as
soon as possible. Putting off treatment often
times makes the tooth more difficult and more expensive
to treat. |
