Did you know that according to the World Health Organization, 60-90% of children worldwide and nearly 100% of adults suffer from dental cavities? Although these statistics are quite alarming, maintaining good oral hygiene can significantly reduce your risk of tooth decay. At our dental practice, we offer a wide range of preventive and dental services to help patients of all ages achieve optimal oral health.

The role of plaque in tooth decay and the importance of regular checkups

Tooth decay occurs when dental plaque is not consistently removed from around your teeth and gums. Besides, if you have a diet high in sugary sweets, acidic foods, or beverages, or if you suffer from dry mouth, teeth grinding, receding gums, or deeply grooved dental enamel, your risk for tooth decay increases even further. As experienced dental professionals, we strongly emphasize the importance of dental prevention to maintain optimal oral health. We also recommend regular checkups to allow for early detection and treatment of dental diseases. While cavities are almost entirely preventable, it's crucial to address any developing tooth decay as soon as possible to avoid more severe consequences to your oral health and overall well-being.
