Take The Time

We know how busy you are but your smile matters. Last month we wrote about three of the top reasons why tooth loss can occur. The number one rule is because of periodontal decay. So often, patients are busy and forget or don't brush and floss regularly. Or maybe you cannot commit to your regular cosmetic dental visits—whatever the reason, we want to help you maintain a healthy and beautiful smile. We can do that by seeing you at least 2x a year for check-ups and quickly taking care of any problems that might arise in between. 

We will begin by updating your health history and ensuring that we are aware of anything that has changed since your last visit. From there, we will start analyzing your smile so that we can provide the best treatment options for your smile. Now is the time to be sure you have a smile that can last a lifetime and avoid tooth loss.

3 Reasons for Tooth Loss

Are you concerned about losing your teeth? Or having a tooth fall out because of dental decay? Knowing the top 3 causes can help you prevent this situation from occurring. While there are incredible advances in dental procedures, not being in this situation is ideal for our patients. Here are the top 5 reasons:

1. Gum disease is the number one problem that causes adults to lose a tooth. Gum disease can destroy the supporting bone that helps to keep your teeth in place. Flossing and brushing regularly is the key as well as visiting your dental cosmetic dentist. 
2. Not getting dental care. Regular dental care is key to keeping your smile healthy. 
3. You have high blood pressure. Unfortunately, you will want to visit your doctor if you are experiencing problems with high blood pressure before it becomes a problem. Please let our staff know at your visit, however, if you are at risk or experiencing high blood pressure. 

We are here to help. If you have concerns about the health of your smile, contact us or schedule a visit with Dr. Judy Strutz and her team.
