#1: Early Detection = Conservative Treatment<\/span><\/h3>\nWhen you come into Giamberardino Dental Care every six months, you\u2019ll probably never be surprised by a severe toothache in the middle of the night or other emergencies requiring complex care. Early detection allows us to provide the most conservative treatment possible. Those early cavities, for instance, can sometimes be filled without the need for any anesthesia at all. And we may be able to catch weak spots in the tooth enamel <\/span>before<\/span><\/i> they turn into cavities — when they\u2019re still reversible with improved dental hygiene. <\/span>\n

#2: Prevention<\/span><\/h3>\nDuring a checkup and cleaning, your dental hygienist uses special tools to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. Plaque is the clear, sticky substance that is constantly forming on your teeth. If it\u2019s not removed regularly, it turns into tartar — the hard, yellow stuff you can see. Once tartar has formed, it can only be removed by a professional. The bacteria in plaque and tartar lead to cavities and gum disease, so their regular removal is important for continued oral health. <\/span>\n

#3: Patient Education for Better Hygiene<\/span><\/h3>\nAs we clean your teeth, we will provide special tips and feedback to help you get a better, more thorough clean at home. It\u2019s easy to miss a spot while you\u2019re cleaning — and you may not realize there\u2019s an area that\u2019s frequently skipped over when you brush or floss. We consider patient education to be an important part of each visit to Giamberardino Dental Care.<\/span>\n

#4: Charting <\/span><\/h3>\nHealthy gums fit tightly around your teeth. But once infection develops, bacteria builds up between the teeth and the gum tissue, forming deep pockets that eventually lead to tooth loss. If you have pockets that indicate infection, we\u2019ll make careful notes that we refer back to during every checkup and cleaning to monitor your gum health and prevent the negative effects of gum disease.<\/span>\n

#5: Developing A Hygiene Habit<\/span><\/h3>\nWhen you visit your dentist regularly, your oral health is something you think about often. That means you\u2019ll be more likely to brush and floss regularly and make other positive choices for your smile, further reducing the chances that you will ever need <\/span>complex restorative<\/span><\/a> dental care. <\/span>\n
