Essential Dental Services
The mouth is one of the most sensitive areas on the entire body - and problems that start small can often grow large!
Here are some recommendations and facts that Topeka Smiles thinks YOU should know about how essential and important dental treatment can be!
- Adults aged 18-27 are the least likely to visit a dentist for regular care - problems at this age can effect oral health for the rest of your life!
- Children's teeth form and continue to grow at a rapid pace until their wisdom teeth come in at approximately 17-23 years of age. Until this time - its essential to get regular checkups at least once every year, and more frequently for younger children!
- Teeth continue to "grow" in children for up to 3 years after they first appear - and problems that start small can grow to be BIG problems! If your children complain about oral pain or misaligned teeth - its best to correct the problem SOONER rather than later!
- Children often ignore oral pain or sometimes don't speak openly about it. If you notice a dramatic change in your childs eating habits - such as slow eating or favoring one side of their mouth - you might consider setting up a dentist appointment!
- Fillings and dental work that happened at a younger age can wear out! Its important for adults to have regular professional cleanings to examine dental work for problems before they start causing pain!
- The most frequent cause of an emergency dental visit isn't always a chipped tooth! The worst way to visit the dentist is when regular care is overlooked, and suddenly you find yourself experiencing sharp pains when chewing or laying down.
