WELCOMING NEW PATIENTS TO CARE DENTAL SMILE IN EDGWARE
Are you looking for a friendly, professional dentist in Edgware? At Care Dental Smile, we pride ourselves on providing a warm welcome and high-quality dental care for the whole family. Whether it’s been six months or six years since your last visit, our team is here to help you achieve a healthy, confident smile. Prevention is the best medicine, and routine dental care is much less complex than it may seem.
It is recommended that you visit a dentist every 6 months to exam/monitor the overall health of your teeth and gums. This way any problems that may be discovered can be treated effectively and quickly. If problems are left untreated then they can get worse.
What to expect
Coming to a new dental practice can feel daunting, so we make your first visit as transparent and stress-free as possible. During your initial consultation in our Edgware clinic, the dentist or hygienist will clean your teeth and check for cavities and gum disease. The exam includes evaluating your risk of developing other oral problems and checking your face, neck, and mouth for abnormalities. A dental exam might also include dental X-rays (radiographs) or other diagnostic procedures.
Your dentist or hygienist will likely discuss your diet and oral hygiene habits and might demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques. Other topics might include lifestyle factors that can affect oral health and possible cosmetic improvements to your teeth.
During a dental exam the dentist or hygienist will:
- Evaluate your overall health and oral hygiene
- Evaluate your risk of tooth decay, root decay, gum or bone disease
- Evaluate your need for tooth restoration or replacement
- Check your bite and jaw for problems
- Remove stains or deposits on your teeth
- Demonstrate proper cleaning techniques for your teeth or dentures
- Assess your need for fluoride
- Possibly take dental X-rays or, if necessary, do other diagnostic procedures
During a dental exam, your dentist or hygienist will also ask about your health problems or medications you take and discuss how they might affect your oral health. If you have diabetes, for example, you are at an increased risk of gum disease.
Surgical Extractions – Tooth removal
At Care Dental, we try to save every tooth. However, even though our permanent teeth can last us a lifetime, there may be a need to remove a tooth. Before removing a tooth, all treatment options are considered. If the removal is required, we will talk you through the process and answer any questions you may have, trying to make the process as stress-free as possible. This is done by using a local anesthetic to numb the area.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that erupt in the back corners of the upper and lower normal adult mouth. Many people experience problems from wisdom teeth because the teeth erupt too close to existing permanent teeth, causing crowding, improper bites, and other problems.
Impacted wisdom teeth can be extremely painful, as well as harmful to your oral health. Symptoms are easy to spot – severe discomfort, inflammation, and some kinds of infections.
