What Dental Care Services are the Most Essential?

Regarding dental health, we firmly believe that “an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.” Dr. Chithra and our team consider preventive treatments like biannual dental exams, professional cleanings, digital x-rays, and fluoride treatments some of the most essential services you can receive, as they’re designed to protect and preserve your oral health. We also offer advanced dental care treatments like root canals, dental crowns, and periodontal therapy to deal with specific dental issues you’re facing and restore the quality of your smile.

If you currently have good oral health, Dr. Chithra recommends biannual dental visits so we can monitor it and catch and treat problems quickly to prevent them from progressing. If you’re experiencing problems with decay, gum disease, or other oral issues, we can schedule more frequent visits to help you get these issues under control.

Good oral hygiene habits and regular dental cleanings are the best practices for keeping dental problems to a minimum. Eating a healthy diet rich in vitamins and nutrients that promote good oral health is also helpful. Try to avoid acidic and sugary foods, as they can damage tooth enamel. Drink plenty of water daily to keep your mouth clean, and rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash daily to kill bacteria that can cause cavities.

Severe tooth pain, abscessed teeth, fractured teeth, knocked-out teeth, and uncontrolled bleeding from your mouth are all dental emergencies that require immediate attention. Don’t hesitate to contact Dr. Chithra for pain relief and emergency dental care. We handle dental emergencies quickly and effectively to restore tooth and gum health.
