Visit our dentist to avoid the dangers of plaque and tartar
It is important that you visit our dentist in West Byfleet on a regular basis to make sure that your teeth are clean and white and that your breath is fresh, so that you can confidently show off your beautiful smile.
By avoiding the dentist you may develop a range of dental health issues. This is because despite maintaining a good dental hygiene routine plaque and tartar can build up in our mouths. This is especially the case for those who have slightly crooked or wonky teeth or are prone to dental health issues as a result of other factors such as lifestyle choices, underlying health conditions, certain medication or even their diet. It is also important that you bring your whole family, because young children may not be brushing their teeth properly and can develop cavities and tooth decay. We recommend that you visit our dentist in West Byfleet at least once every six months, but if, as mentioned, you have certain risk factors you can visit us more regularly. This will help you maintain beautiful and healthy teeth for many years to come and prevent the development of dental health complications.
The effects of plaque and tartar
Here at Byfleet Dental we offer a full range of preventive treatment with the help of our hygienist. By visiting the hygienist after your regular check-up you will be able to keep your mouth free of excess plaque and tartar. Plaque and tartar are the main culprits for dental health complications. When plaque remains on the surface of your teeth it becomes tartar, tartar provides an excellent surface for further bacterial growth, resulting in the formation of even more plaque which damages your teeth and can creep under your gum line to cause gum disease.
Our dentist in West Byfleet is able to offer a full range of restorative dental treatment to help address the issues that plaque and tartar can cause. You may develop cavities in your teeth as a result of the acid secreted by bacteria in the plaque. If left unaddressed cavities can become larger and result in tooth decay. This can lead to a range of unpleasant symptoms and require extensive restorative treatment. You may need to undergo a root canal treatment if the effects are irreversible or if it is too late then you may need an extraction instead. If this is necessary then we will put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you that will address your dental needs.
To avoid such complications and enjoy a beautiful healthy smile, visit our dentist on a regular basis so that we can identify any signs of cavities, tooth decay or gum disease early on. It is important that you maintain a good dental hygiene routine at home. A healthy diet, avoiding sugary, sticky food and fizzy drinks can help promote better dental health and an overall healthy lifestyle is important for your teeth. Our dentist will provide you with tailored dental advice and together we can help you and your family enjoy beautiful smiles for the rest of your lives.
