If you are tempted to skip dental appointments because you don't feel pain and cant see anything wrong ,think again. What you cant see or feel can cause the most trouble! These dental problems can be treated and often reversed,if spotted early.
Here is what your Dentist in Preston can see that you cant ;
- A dental examination can detect deterioration in old fillings, crowns and dental bridges
- We may detect cavities on the root surfaces of the teeth,which are exposed by receding gums
- Your teeth may have hairline fractures or suffering from abrasion or enamel erosion
- A detailed assessment of the supporting tissues around the teeth could reveal periodontal pockets caused by gum disease
- We can identify the early warning signs of oral cancer
- we may find decay under the gum line or hidden under the existing fillings - two areas you just cant see
- We can diagnose impacted wisdom teeth that are ready to come through and make their presence known ... although you may not feel it yet.
Toothache is one of the most common reasons why people visit a dentist. A painful tooth can be triggered by change of temperature i.e. hot or cold food and drinks. As heavy biting or grinding can fracture a tooth and cause the tooth to hurt when you chew. At times, when a filling falls out, you may experience a throbbing ache cause by a reversible infection within the tooth.
Injuries to teeth or gums can be quite serious and should not be ignored. Trauma can damage nerves or blood vessels. There is also a risk of getting an infection, which can become life threatening. If you ignore dental pain or dental injury, you're taking a chance. You should not delay getting treatment. Delays in treatment can be dangerous to your health.
Even when dental problems cause a lot of pain, the problems — and the treatments — often are relatively simple if you seek help right away.
