Why do I need dental exams?
Regular exams help spot trouble early to prevent bigger and more costly treatments later. A dental hygienist will start by cleaning buildup from your teeth. Then the dentist will probe spots on the surfaces and near the gumline with special tools. If it's been a while between appointments, you may have some sore and sensitive areas.You should get an exam every 6 months, or more often if your dentist recommends it. Find one who makes you feel at ease and lets you know what to expect. Often the dread of seeing the dentist turns to big relief when the visit is over and you have a care plan set up. Being positive as a parent can help your kids overcome any of their fears. ******* Book your appointment with Dr Italo Carpes Moraes Call 0203 659 7249 WhatsApp +44 7903 782697 https://www.icmdentistry.co.uk/book-now What are early signs of dental trouble?

Yes, sweets and foods with acid, like candy and soda, could stick to teeth and lead to cavities. Smoking and chewing tobacco can cause oral cancer and gum disease. While teeth are strong enough to chew ice and tear open packages, this can break them and stress your jaws. Gritting or grinding down on teeth when you're stressed may crack them. Biting your nails is another bad habit. It pulls your jaw out of position and changes how your teeth fit together. ******* Book your appointment with Dr Italo Carpes Moraes Call 0203 659 7249 WhatsApp +44 7903 782697 https://www.icmdentistry.co.uk/book-now We do restorations, not just fillings.
When restoring a damaged tooth we will strive to restore it as close as possible to its original form and function. Dental fillings are made to restore the function, morphology and aesthetic of a damaged tooth structure. The structural loss typically results from caries or external trauma. We use composite resin materials, which are “tooth-coloured” and are artistically built to match natural teeth' exact shade and form. It is dentistry combining health and aesthetics, recreating the small imperfections and asymmetries that nature uses to produce a beautiful smile. Dr Italo is trained as a dental technician as well, so his expertise in teeth anatomy and function is superb. ******* Book your appointment with Dr Italo Carpes Moraes Call 0203 659 7249 WhatsApp +44 7903 782697 https://www.icmdentistry.co.uk/book-now If you know you have an upcoming event, like a wedding, family get-together, school reunion, or another important social event, you can schedule your whitening weeks in advance. We recommend getting this cosmetic procedure about four to six weeks prior to your special event. This gives you enough time to whiten your teeth and for your teeth to overcome any temporary sensitivity caused by the whitening process.

Who may be more likely to get plaque? Although everyone gets plaque, you may develop more plaque than usual if you consume a lot of sugary or starchy foods or drinks.
Good tooth and gum care is key to reducing plaque. You should: Floss daily Brush twice a day Choose healthy foods See your dentist ******* Book your appointment with Dr Italo Carpes Moraes Call 0203 659 7249 WhatsApp +44 7903 782697 https://www.icmdentistry.co.uk/book-now We all have very good teeth. Despite sometimes the facts leading us to conclude the opposite.
Dental decay and disease on the gums are totally preventable (apart from a minority of specific cases) and are considered behavioural diseases. It means that we develop cavities and bleeding gums mainly because we misunderstand or were not informed about the roots of the problem. Cleaning our mouth means cleaning “bacterias”. It sounds obvious, and we all might think we do it correctly. But, has your dentist or hygienist shown how and where to brush and floss properly? Had they demonstrated it with a brush in your own mouth? If not, ask them. It is important! ******* Book your appointment with Dr Italo Carpes Moraes Call 0203 659 7249 WhatsApp +44 7903 782697 https://www.icmdentistry.co.uk/book-now Yes, the dentist knows
Obviously, your dentist will be able to tell if your habit of not flossing has led to cavities or gum disease. However, even if the problem hasn't reached that point yet, your dentist and dental hygienist will still be able to tell in a second whether you've been flossing. Brush and floss daily. ******* Book your appointment with Dr Italo Carpes Moraes Call 0203 659 7249 WhatsApp +44 7903 782697 https://www.icmdentistry.co.uk/book-now |
