Tooth loss can cause a number of problems for a patient, from trouble eating his/her favorite foods, to difficulties communicating clearly. Missing teeth have also been linked to misalignment and even an aged appearance due to loss of jawbone density. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to help prevent tooth loss.
Children, even toddlers and babies, are susceptible to the onset of tooth decay. Just as with adults, lack of treatment can mean serious discomfort and the risk of premature tooth loss due to infection. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to help your kids avoid cavities!
Dental anxiety refers to a fear or serious apprehension of visiting the dentist. If you have dental anxiety, then you may put off even minor preventive visits, such as checkup and cleanings.
