Treatments

The Delft Dental Practice offers solutions for most dental issues, including tooth decay, gum diseases, and tooth and nerve pain. Tooth decay, also known as caries, is a gradual process that leads to the dissolution of tooth enamel and dentin, resulting in cavities that can cause daily discomfort. Gum diseases, also known as gingivitis , are often caused by dental plaque. Regular check-ups play a significant role in preventing these dental issues. In addition to problems that cause real discomfort, there's also cosmetic dentistry that can address aesthetic concerns that may lead to psychological discomfort. This includes discolored or crooked teeth or gaps between the teeth. 

Regular Check-Ups and Their Importance

Good dental care minimizes the risk of dental problems. The best way to prevent issues like tooth decay and gum diseases is to brush your teeth twice a day and use interdental aids like wooden sticks or brushes daily. In addition, it's crucial to visit your dentist regularly. At the Delft Dental Practice, preventive dentistry ensures early detection and treatment of any issues. By scheduling at least two periodic check-ups, you can prevent seemingly minor conditions from developing into more serious health issues like heart disease, diabetes, strokes, and other severe ailments later on. After all, the condition of your teeth and overall oral health is considered an indicator of your general health. 

Tips for a Healthy Mouth

A healthy mouth ensures daily comfort, eliminating issues like sensitivity to cold drinks or food. Besides maintaining good oral hygiene through brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits, there are additional tips to promote a healthy mouth. Here are some pointers to help you maintain a beautiful smile throughout life, if applicable to you. 

• Do not smoke: In addition to bad breath and health issues, smoking also contributes to gum diseases, tooth decay, and even oral cancer.
• Brush your teeth: Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste, starting in children from the time the first tooth has come through.
• Daily cleaning: Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste, and start this routine with children as soon as their first tooth appears.
• Soda Consumption: Sodas contain acids that wear down tooth enamel, leading to erosion and tooth decay.
• Eating Fiber: The fibers in fruits and vegetables help maintain a healthy mouth.
• Drinking Water: Make sure to drink enough water daily to maintain your saliva levels. This helps protect your teeth and molars.
