Here are some examples of problems we’ve encountered here at the office.
These teeth are covered in tartar and plaque!
Poor oral hygene caused this situation, we can teach you how to avoid this condition.
Poor cleaning habits led to inflamed gums (gum infection).
These teeth were damaged by improper brushing combined with too much toothpaste.
Another example of the damage improper brushing can cause. We teach our patients how to brush properly.
Loss of back teeth led to abnormal wear on this person’s front teeth.
This tooth was discoloured by a silver filling.
A large silver filling left the tooth in a weakened condition – leading to a fracture. Teeth in this condition should be crowned.
Here the roots of these two teeth have been exposed by trauma from a tongue piercing.
Many problems are repairable, however prevention is by far the best approach. It’s healthier, easier and less expensive! It is nice to come for a recare (checkup) appointment and be told that you are doing fine.
Guarantees cannot be issued in these matters but our approach can give you a huge advantage in the quest for better health.
