Even though you may think your teeth look okay, it doesn't mean they are healthy. For teeth to be healthy your gums must be healthy as well. Only your dentist is able to detect whether or not your teeth and gums are healthy everywhere including those hard to see places.

Gum disease may progress painlessly, producing few obvious signs. That is one reason why regular dental check ups are very important. Visit your dentist immediately if you notice any of the following signs...

Although dental decay continues to be the most common dental problem, acid wear on teeth is a growing concern for adults and children alike. Most importantly once the dental enamel is lost through acid erosion, it is lost permanently!

Dental trauma can result from a sports mishap, an altercation, a fall or other causes. Obtaining dental care as soon as possible, even if via phone call, can make the difference between saving or losing a tooth.

A professional check-up by your dentist six monthly is essential to maintaining healthy teeth & gums, avoiding future problems and addressing current problems before they get bigger or cause discomfort.
