Prevent Minor Dental Issues Becoming Serious

As your Family Dental Clinic in Oxley, we try to educate our patients as much as possible about the importance of regular brushing, flossing, and maintaining a regular check-up at our surgery. We don't do this just to nag and be annoying; we do it because we know that prevention is better than cure. If you have a small hole in one of your teeth, it may be an irritation for you, and you may need to spend time with a toothpick after a meal to remove food that has become lodged there. This ritual isn't a huge inconvenience for you, though, and perhaps you don't think it's bad enough to worry your dentist over.

We disagree. Any issue with your teeth should be investigated as soon as possible, because just like a pot-hole in the road, a hole in your tooth is only going to get bigger over time, leading to a cavity that requires a filling, or perhaps an infection that could prove to be painful. If left long enough, it could also mean an extraction.

No, we're not trying to scare you - but the truth is, many people leave it way too long before coming into their family dental clinic in Oxley to have remedial work done. At greenway dental, we always emphasise the need to get anything that's bothering you sorted out quickly. It can save you money in the long run too, as a minor procedure naturally costs less than a more complicated one.
