Preventing Problems

Have you heard the old saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”? That’s something we believe in and practice at Miami Designer Smiles through our preventative dentistry treatments. Preventative dentistry helps to eliminate or reduce the risk of problems that may develop with your dental, oral and overall health through:

  • Professional cleanings
  • Patient education about proper oral hygiene practices, ideal dietary habits, and minimizing the individual risk of gum disease, tooth decay and other oral health problems
  • Topical fluoride
  • Dental sealants, a thin, protective coating (made from plastic or other dental materials) applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to help prevent cavities and tooth decay
  • Oral cancer screenings

Testimonial

Often daily symptoms, especially pain, are overlooked and become just a part of your life. Learn more about Liz’s life changing procedure she received after a recommendation at her regular dental check up.

I didn’t realize that my body was kind of slanting towards one side. I had a lot of headaches, I was grinding my teeth and they were symptoms that I kind of learn to live with. Dr. Garcia tied them all together.

REGULAR DENTAL CLEANINGS AND EXAMS PROTECT ORAL HEALTH

Practicing good dental hygiene at home is critical; brushing at least twice per day and flossing at least once per day (yes, every day!) plays a significant role in preventing gum disease and tooth decay. But brushing and flossing are not the only things you need to maintain good dental and oral health.

We recommend visiting the dentist at least twice a year for a professional dental cleaning. However, some individuals may require more frequent visits to address specific issues, such as periodontal disease. Professional cleanings are a preventative treatment that removes dental plaque from areas your toothbrush cannot reach.

Seeing the dentist twice a year for cleanings is also important because it gives our dentists the chance to comprehensively examine your teeth’s health, along with your gums, bite and jaw joints. Dental exams are critical in identifying and treating issues in their earliest stages with the least invasive methods.

Topical Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is a naturally-occurring mineral found in soil, water, and some foods and beverages. Fluoride plays a big role in the health of your teeth by making your tooth enamel more resistant to attacks from the bacteria that live in the sticky dental film known as plaque that can spread across your teeth and gums. Fluoride can also help strengthen your tooth enamel, which can help repair tooth decay before a cavity begins.

We offer patients topical fluoride treatments to improve the health of their teeth. These treatments are done in-office, take just a few minutes and are part of your regularly dental cleaning and exam. A fluoride gel, foam or varnish is applied to your teeth with a brush, swab or via rinse.  After your treatment, you may be asked not to brush, floss, eat or drink for at least 30 minutes to allow your teeth to absorb the fluoride and help repair small areas of decay. We generally recommend you have topical fluoride applied at each dentist visit.

In some instances, we may also suggest an over-the-counter or prescription toothpaste or mouthrinse product to further strengthen your teeth.

Dental Sealants

In addition to brushing, flossing, seeing the dentist and fluoride, there’s another way to keep your teeth healthy: dental sealants. Dental sealants are a thin protective coating applied to your molars that can help prevent tooth decay and cavities. The molars, because they are rough, uneven and can be a place for food to get stuck (which means they’re also a place that cavity-causing bacteria like to hang out). Sealants have been shown to reduce the risk of tooth decay by nearly 80 percent in molars, and some research conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that school-age children who do not have sealants have three times the cavities than those without sealants.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer affects more than 50,000 people each year. While you may not think about it as something that can affect you, we do! Oral cancer is on the rise, but with early detection and diagnosis, it is treatable with favorable outcomes in many cases. As oral cancer is very serious, we recognize the importance of early oral cancer detection and offer patients oral cancer screenings.
