Preventative Dentistry - Ottawa, ON

Preventive dentistry refers to any dental care practices that help to protect your teeth and keep them healthy and in good shape. Preventive dentistry is crucial as it helps you to avoid problems before they occur. 

Ever take a really close look at your teeth in the mirror? If the answer is yes, then you know that teeth have tiny depressions and irregularities in them. They’re not anything to worry about because it’s how teeth are supposed to be, and they’re present in everyone. These grooves are particularly evident in premolars and molars, which is where we worry about them the most. Grooves and depressions can act as hiding places for bacteria and food. By escaping your toothbrush, they can then harm your teeth. Unfortunately for the bacteria, we’re aware of these tricks at SmilEra Dental Studio, Ottawa, ON, and know how to handle the situation.

Fluoride is recommended and preferred as a remineralization agent because it’s highly effective. Fluoride strengthens the tooth enamel, thus enabling it to withstand acid attacks from bacteria. SmilEra Dental Studio offers fluoride treatment to patients of all ages. We recommend you to get started on fluoride treatment as soon as possible, especially if you’re prone to cavities.

Going to the dentist isn’t exactly everyone’s idea of a fun time. People don’t go to their dentist unless something is wrong. Sometimes they might even brush off a toothache for a day or two hoping it goes away on its own. It’s recommended, however, that you visit your dentist twice a year even if you feel perfectly fine. Regular dental exams and hygiene care are of the utmost importance for your teeth’s health, which is something we value here at SmilEra Dental Studio, Ottawa, ON.

Cancer is a life-threatening disease that’s characterized by abnormal cell and tissue growth in the body. Cancer can affect any part of the body, including the oral cavity. When detected early, cancer may be successfully managed using radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery.
