Some Dental Problems Are Easy To See - Plaque!
One
of the easiest problems to spot is a build-up of plaque. Plaque is the
soft, sticky layer of bacteria, which is constantly forming on the
teeth. Usually it is invisible to the naked eye, but when a person is
not brushing adequately, it can build up to where it appears to be a
thick whitish coating on the teeth at the gum line. If not removed, it
can lead to gum disease.Another potential problem, which is easy to spot, is missing teeth. Many patients assume that if they are still able to eat, they are O.K. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Very often, when one tooth is lost it can lead to a shifting of teeth, causing a change in the bite. It also forces the remaining teeth to carry an additional load, sometimes past their ability to adapt. In most cases, when even one tooth is lost, the remaining teeth suffer and are more likely to be lost as well.
We specialize in the treatment of problems such as these. Call our office for the care you need.
