\"From<\/a>Sometimes it may feel like a nuisance having to go to the dentist every six-months. It takes time out of your busy schedule, and it seems like you were just there. You often ask yourself, wouldn\u2019t one appointment a year be enough? The answer to that question is \u2013 No! Dr. Ted Dunson, your dentist in Denton, discusses why prevention<\/a> is the key to maintaining optimum oral health for a lifetime.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Your Checkup and Cleaning Appointment<\/h3>\n

There are a few important things that happen at your routine checkup and cleaning<\/a> appointment. First, Dr. Dunson is going to discuss your goals and desires for your smile with you, as well as screen you for a number of dental issues such as periodontal (gum) disease, tooth decay, and oral cancer. These conditions are most effectively treated when caught in their earliest stages.<\/p>\n

Next, our highly skilled dental hygienists will clean your teeth and remove the excessive plaque buildup that causes many of these issues including gum disease and tooth decay. They will also offer helpful tips and suggestions on how to make the most of your home care routine. After all, you\u2019re our best partner in achieving optimum oral health!<\/p>\n

How Does Prevention Really Help?<\/h3>\n

There are often not many symptoms, or much pain associated with these dental issues, so it\u2019s hard to detect them on your own until it\u2019s too late. Early detection allows you to have the opportunity to treat these conditions with less invasive treatment when they\u2019re detected early on.<\/p>\n

For example, when treated right away, tooth decay can be effectively managed with a dental filling. If it\u2019s left untreated however, it can lead to breakdown or infection in your tooth, which results in root canal therapy to preserve your tooth in order to prevent tooth loss.<\/p>\n
