Fairfield Dentist Discusses fighting plaque

Fairfield, CT - www.1305dental.com - This is not enough, though, everyone from kids to parents to grandparents need to have regular check-ups and teeth cleanings! The early stages of plaque and tooth decay don’t cause much discomfort; it is only after the acid has damaged the hard outer portion of the tooth that you begin to feel sensitivity to hot and cold foods and drinks. If you were to wait too long between visits, the decay could spread into the soft pulp of the tooth and damage or destroy the nerves of the tooth!

You can avoid the pain and discomfort by scheduling regular visits to the dentist for teeth cleanings and check-ups. We will also check for destruction of tooth structure, broken or leaking fillings or crowns, and check for any softened areas of the enamel or root. Regular X-rays also help us identify and problems and get them treated!

Why not schedule an appointment for anyone in your family who has not had one since last summer? Call the offices of Dr. Mariana Conant at 203-255-5999
