Everyone needs
regular dental
checkups. Even
if you brush and
floss every day.
there may be
problems begin-
ning in your mouth that you cannot
see or feel. As dentists, we are trained
to detect these things such as gum
disease, broken teeth, infections, cavi-
ties and even early signs of oral cancer.
Many of these problems can be fixed
quickly and economically if caught
early, but can become very painful and
expensive if left to progress.
It's Just like taking your vehicle into your
mechanic for regular check ups. Every
5000 miles or so, your car needs an oil
change to keep it running smoothly. If
this isn't done, a sludge develops and
eventually leads to engine failure. An oil
change is relatively inexpensive, but if
neglected, your car stops running com-
pletely and it may be very expensive
to repair.
There are four simple..steps J,o a
dental checRcup. First, your medical
history is updated. Many health condi-
tions and medications can have a huge
impact on your mouth, so this is a very
important step. Next
is the dental history
update. This is when
you get the chance
to tell me about
any problems or
changes that you've
notiet. 1 since your
last visit.

After tnat is the exam and treatment
planning. This is my chance to examine
your teeth, gums and mouth and see
what needs to be done (and also the
part where you're praying I'll say no
cavities). Sometimes this includes
taking X-rays to get a closer look at
. the teeth. Together we can discuss the
different options and agree on a plan of
action. Last but not least, the hygienist
gets to clean your teeth. Usually, the
whole appointment takes less than 45
minutes and you leave with a nice fresh,
clean mouth.
Since every person is different we
have to customize your treatment.
Check-ups and cleanings can vary from
every 3 months to only once a year. It
eIl depends on how well you care for
your teeth at home and how quickly
tartar builds up. It may also depend on
how accident prone you are (especially
all those hockey players out there) and
what you use your teeth for (use a real
bottle opener please!).
Next time you get that call say-
ing you're due for your next dental
checkupand cleaning cQnsder, this
- on average it takes 3 to 5 years for
a cavity to develop into an abcess. A
cavity can be fixed with a filling, but an
abcess requires a root canal treatment
or an extraction. It doesn't seem like a
tough decision to me!
Prevention is the keyl
See you at your next
