Wishing everyone a happy holiday season!

A note from your Dentist Did you know that a full mouth reconstruction can cost you anywhere between $45,000 - $80,000? By practicing preventative dentistry, you can safeguard yourself from exorbitant dental costs. Preventative dentistry emphasizes the importance of ongoing hygiene procedures and daily practices to prevent tooth decay and other dental diseases and conditions. This is effective when you combine at home dental care combined with preventative practices with... your dentist. The American Dental Association recommends two dental cleanings and check ups a year. Adhering to this recommendation helps the dentist to stop diseases in its earliest stages. We all are told over and over again by our dentist to brush and floss regularly. We nod our heads in agreement, but when it’s time to put the advice to good use we tend to skip the flossing at night or even the brushing in our normal day to day routines! When we do this plaque; a sticky coating forms on our teeth, if not removed plaque can build up and produce dental tarter, a hardened form of plaque with acid producing bacteria that causes tooth decay and leads to gum disease. Another culprit that we don’t always think about when it comes to our teeth is DIET. Food with sugar and carbohydrates feed the bacteria that produce plaque, where a balanced diet will aid in the prevention of gum disease and jaw deterioration. Since most dental conditions are painless at first, if you don’t regularly visit your dentist, you may not be aware of dental problems until they cause significant damage. For best results, schedule regular dental check ups every six months; more often if you’re at a higher risk for oral diseases. Your dentist should also perform oral cancer screenings to check for signs of abnormal tissues. Dr. Lee and Staff
