Your oral health is very important to the overall health of your body. Bacteria that develops in the mouth can travel into the bloodstream and cause infection in the heart and other areas of the body. When an individual visits a Dentist in Bridgeport CT on a regular basis, early detection of decay can be removed and improve the individual’s overall health.
In addition to removing decay, a dentist will also use a variety of new techniques that will straighten, whiten, and improve the appearance of an individual’s smile. Straight teeth are important for an individual’s self-esteem, but they are also important for properly chewing food so it can be digested.
How Often Should A Patient Visit A Dentist?
It is recommended that an individual visit a dentist at least twice a year for routine cleanings and examinations. Excess plaque and bacteria will be removed and the teeth will be polished. Early detection of gum disease during an examination will help a dentist develop a plan, so a patient does not lose their teeth to the disease.
Another service a dentist performs is a routine cancer screening. A dentist will visually look at a patient’s tissue for any signs of cancer and may look at the tissue with a special piece of equipment.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry includes veneers, implants, teeth whitening and many other types of services that will improve the appearance of an individual’s smile. Dental veneers can fix one or several teeth that are discolored or chipped. Gaps between the teeth can be easily closed with the use of a veneer.
A veneer is a thin piece of porcelain that is designed to correct a tooth’s appearance. A tooth that is a different size, shape, or color will look perfect again. Dental veneers are a non-invasive procedure a Dentist in Bridgeport CT can perform.
