A lot of people believe that they only need to visit a dentist should they experience some level  of discomfort in their mouth as this is an obvious sign that something is not right and that they may have some decay in one or more of their teeth.

However, with such advancements in dental care, we have the ability to detect dental decay far earlier than when there is any physical pain at the site. By identifying the dental decay early, we are able to quickly restore the tooth and provide preventive measures to ensure that your tooth remains healthy and strong.

If you come in to see us every 6 months, you are doing your best to ensure that your teeth remain with you for life. Through early identification of any problems, your dentist in Buckinghamshire does not need to resort to lengthy, complicated and often expensive restorative measures to bring your tooth back to a fully functioning state.

We can do this with the regular use of high magnification tools and powerful lighting. We routinely use these tools that are available to us to ensure that you are getting the best possible treatment when you visit your dentist in Buckinghamshire for your check-up. Always at the forefront of new technology available to us, you can rest assured that you are in great hands and will be provided with all the information and advice to ensure that you are able to make the right decision for your oral and overall health.

When cavities are small, we find that they are much easier to treat and much less expensive to boot. There is a far less likelihood of any complications that can arise after the treatment has been completed.

Won’t I be able to notice a cavity?

Early tooth decay in most cases does not show any physical signs for you to feel, even if you have extremely sensitive teeth. Even with regular check-ups, a tooth can sometimes look healthy, but from an X-ray with high magnification and looked at with strong lighting, we are able to see if there are signs of decay developing under the enamel.

We are also able to identify bone loss around the tooth or any possible infections within the root that start off small, but can result in major complications if left for too long. It is possible that once you begin to feel pain in such circumstances, then considerable damage has already been done and extensive work will be required to repair the tooth.

It is easy to ensure that you book a regular check-up with one of us to keep on top of your dental health. We are constantly upgrading our tools that we have to ensure that we are providing you with the best possible care that is available. Here at your dentist in Buckinghamshire we strongly believe that preventive care is far more superior to a cure and aim to empower all of our patients with the tools and information that they need to make sure that they are in control of their own oral health and well-being.
