Making a Healthy Smile With Dental by Design
A healthy smile starts with the little things. You will be amazed at how paying attention to small details can boost the health of your smile. It all starts with preventative dentistry because it is much easier to provide a solid foundation for your oral health than it is to reverse the damage when a dental problem has ballooned into a significant issue.
At Dental by Design, we center our approach to dentistry around the importance of regular oral hygiene practices. When you visit our office, we will professionally brush, floss, and polish your teeth and assess the current state of your oral health. This will help us stay on top of any new developments so that we can ensure that your teeth stay healthy.
What Is a Dental Health Scan?
A dental health scan is something we offer at Dental by Design. During your visit, we take a 3D image of your mouth that captures a comprehensive view of your tooth structure, bones, and mouth tissue. A dental health scan provides us with a map of your mouth. It helps offer you the best care and informs our dentists about any areas on which we need to focus.
Dental Hygiene and Regular Cleanings
A regular visit every six months to our office is the most important action that you can take to maintain robust oral health. During your visit, we will professionally clean your teeth, and do all of the following:
- We will ask you how the last six months have been and if you have experienced anything concerning related to your dental health. We will also ask you if you have regularly brushed and flossed.
- Depending on the circumstances of your visit, we may take x-rays to see if any cavities have developed.
- Next, we will clean your teeth thoroughly. We will gently scrape away any plaque that has accumulated since your last visit. Afterward, we will brush and floss your teeth.
- During your visit, our dental team will examine the x-rays taken earlier. They will personally examine your teeth to make sure that your oral health is in good shape. If we detect any changes that need to be addressed, we will let you know.
- We will walk you through the basics of preventative dentistry by providing tips and helping you understand best practices for taking care of your teeth when you are away from our office.
Our friendly practice will strive to make your visit as comfortable as possible. We will answer any questions that you have so that you feel relaxed, and we promise to be gentle any time that we are working on your mouth.
By being proactive and visiting our dentist’s office every six months, you will stay on top of your oral health, feel healthier, and save money by not having to deal with worse issues in the future.
Clean Your Teeth Effectively and Efficiently
Every time that you eat or drink something millions of bacteria inside your mouth break down food. Over time, a white substance known as plaque will build up on your teeth if you aren’t brushing and flossing regularly. You should practice consistent oral hygiene, including brushing twice daily and flossing, to prevent plaque from accumulating.
When you come to Dental by Design, we will professionally clean your teeth and provide education to help you care for your teeth.
When Should My Kids Start Visiting The Dentist?
It depends on the dental office, but we recommend bringing your child in right after their first teeth start coming in. Although we won’t be able to or need to do any cleanings or take dental x-rays, these early visits are helpful for both you and your child.
It’s important to provide education to you during this time to help you take care of your child’s teeth, and we can start building a relationship with your child as well. The earlier they see our happy friendly dental office, the more comfortable they become with our staff and our dentists as they prepare for more regular visits.
By the time they are between the ages of four and six, they should visit our office biannually for professional cleanings and examinations.
