Your oral health is important 

Finding a dentist you can trust can be challenging. There are also some reasons that dentists may not be accepting new patients. Some dentists may have a hard time with a sudden influx of patients and may have scheduling problems to address their patients’ needs. Also, some dental offices may be in the process of renovating or are still in a transitional process where they cannot accommodate new patients. These issues could affect the dental care that patients like you need. At Midtown Dental Center, we know that your oral health is important and that you deserve the best treatment possible.

Gum disease

The significant symptoms of gum disease include bleeding gums, which cause pain when touched. The color of the gums might also change from pink to bright red or even purple. Moreover, the gums might also swell. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms then you should immediately visit Dr. Peter Engelsberg, your Sarasota Florida dentist at Midtown Dental Center.

The main cause of gingivitis is poor oral health. If you do not brush and floss your teeth regularly and properly then dental plaque will start to accumulate on your teeth and with the passage of time this plaque will turn into tartar. Tartar is a more hard form which can not be removed by brushing and flossing and it has to be removed professionally by a dentist through the teeth cleaning and scaling procedure. If the cleaning and scaling is not done then it gingivitis might occur. If the treatment for gingivitis is not initiated right away then the condition will get worse and it will lead towards severe stages of periodontal disease. Eventually it might also lead towards tooth loss.

The severe stage of gingivitis is known as periodonditis and in this stage the inflammation of the gums would increase and bleeding is more profuse. At this stage root scaling or root debridement therapy might be suggested by your dentist. Don’t worry this procedure is not as painful as it sounds to be.

Your oral health is important

According to Dr. Peter Engelsberg of Midtown Dental Center, you can keep your gums healthy by giving your gums enough medical attention. Most importantly, you need to keep your teeth and gums clean by brushing and flossing the teeth regularly and properly. A good health of the gums means a good general health so you need to take special care of the health of your gums and teeth. Get in touch with your Sarasota Florida dentist right away.

Teeth loss

One of the most common reasons behind missing teeth is dental caries, also known as tooth decay or a cavity. The majority of the people who have lost one tooth or several teeth face the situation because of dental caries. Dental caries is a bacterial infection in which the demineralization process continues, and as a result, the tooth enamel, dentin, and the cementum get damaged. The processes of demineralization and remineralization of the tooth enamel are detailed topics which will not be discussed here.

According to Dr. Peter Engelsberg of Midtown Dental Center, another common cause of losing teeth is a root canal failure. A successful root canal therapy can last for years to come but if the treatment fails, the patient will lose the tooth. This is because the root canal treatment makes the tooth more prone to breaking or cracking. Then, another common cause of losing teeth is gum disease. This is an inflammatory disease of the gums which is caused by dental plaque and tartar on the teeth. Its initial stage is called gingivitis and its more severe stage is called periodontitis. Another cause of people losing their teeth is physical trauma like an accident or a hard blow or a fall. Most commonly people experience such accidents in sports or while driving.

Dental health is more than just having good teeth

Having good, healthy teeth is very important. First of all, if you have perfect and healthy teeth then your teeth would be able to function properly. This means that you would not feel any pain or soreness when you eat a cold, hot, sweet or hard food item. Healthy teeth can give you a great smile and improve the way you look. People who have problems with their teeth often feel the lack of self-confidence and esteem because they are not comfortable to talk, eat, and smile in public.

Having good teeth is also very important for your general health. Your mouth is the gateway to your body and if the mouth is healthy the complete body stays healthy.
