Visit an Intercare Dental Clinic to Stick to Your Oral Hygiene New Year’s Resolution

It’s the festive season again. It appears that time grew wings in February and look where you are. In the blink of an eye, you find yourself preparing to wave your farewells to yet another, interestingly fun-filled year. However, before you commit to any New Year’s resolutions, commit to visiting your dental clinic this January.

You know how important oral hygiene is. You agree that it plays a vital role in your overall healthcare routine and, as a tradition, you always make the New Year’s resolution to visit your dental clinic twice in the coming year. But sadly, we all know that most of these whimsical promises don’t last much longer than the annual family reunion, or do they?

The question you might ask yourself is how serious you are about the health of your mouth. The silly season is sometimes a time of indulgence in all things delicious, and although it is wonderful to spoil yourself with these delicacies it is taxing on your pearly whites. Besides, did you hold up to your visit to the dental clinic this year? Did you attend once or twice? You may have a whole year’s visits to catch up on. 

Humans have only been gifted with one set of adult teeth. They require much care and attention if you want them to last into your ageing years. Without a proper oral hygiene routine, your body’s natural defences against the harmful bacteria in your mouth would buckle under the strain. This could lead to oral infections such as tooth decay and gum disease.

As much as you may have avoided that mid-year consultation, perhaps it is time to make that resolution. And this time, keep it! You will thank yourself for it. To make it easier for you to finalise the process and see your commitment through, consider a visit to your local Intercare dental centre. We have an entire community of dental health professionals waiting to assist you.

Specialised Dental Services to Brighten Your Smile This January

Specialised dentistry can be considered an art, having the skill and mastery to turn your frown upside down. Hiding your smile behind your hand because you are worried about the condition of your teeth shouldn’t be a concern that you have to deal with.

Nothing speaks kindness quite like returning a genuine smile received from a friendly passer-by. Confirm your appointment through our dental clinic this January. Our specialised team is waiting to assist and will get you smiling in no time.

Our specialised dental services include:

1.    Radiography – Upon evaluating the health of your teeth, mouth and gums, your dentist may check for swelling, discolouration or disfigurement surrounding the mouth, inspecting the cheeks, tongue, throat and neck. This is usually done during your bi-annual check-up. 

If your practitioner detects anything untoward or simply needs more clarity as part of the routine check-up, they may refer you for x-rays. This process will assist your dentist to identify any problems such as cavities, tooth decay or impacted teeth.

2.    Dental prosthetics and implants – These procedures are a worthwhile investment for more serious dental damage or deterioration. This surgery is for people who have suffered severe tooth loss or have badly damaged teeth which can affect the ability to chew and cause gum disease. 

The worst-case scenario is it can damage the health of your jaw and possibly put other teeth at risk. There is a wide range of prosthetic devices that can improve your quality of life such as crowns, implants, dentures and veneers to name a few.

3.    Periodontics – Visiting your dental clinic and being referred to a periodontist is no cause for major concern. It simply means that the treatment needed is out of your dentist’s scope of expertise.  Periodontics deals with the health of your gums and jawbone, the supporting structures for your teeth.

If you are prone to gum disease, the treatment would have to be ongoing and routine cleanings would have to be done regularly by a periodontist in addition to those that your dentist would do. In some instances, surgery will be required, such as bone grafts to regenerate lost bone in an area, gum grafts to treat recessive gums and tooth extractions when a tooth has broken off just above the tooth line.

4.    Orthodontics – This form of dental science is the answer to giving you the perfect bite. A perfect bite makes it easier for you to bite, chew and speak. It also assists in perfecting your pearly-white smile. It involves the diagnosis and correction of bad bites by prevention, interception and guidance of your teeth, aligning your teeth to meet properly with the opposing teeth on your other jaw.

A bad bite is usually a result of your teeth being crowded, spaced too far apart or protrusive. Braces and aligners may be recommended to correct these conditions. These tools will guide your teeth into their proper place settings in your mouth.
