Unfortunately, if they are able to thrive, they start to produce acids that can wear through the hard outer shell, forming sections of decay that put your dental health at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caries are contagious and can travel from one tooth to another or even spread to your gums or jawbone if left untreated. Brushing at home helps prevent them, but it\u2019s possible to have tooth decay in areas that are hard to see, like between teeth or behind your molars, and not know about it. Thankfully, your dentist has the experience and advanced technology to quickly identify cavities and provide suitable treatments, like tooth-colored fillings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Issue #2: Gum Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people only consider their teeth when they think of their dental health, but connective tissues are equally important. For instance, were you aware that periodontitis (advanced gum disease) is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults? Your pearly whites rely on your gums to remain in place, so it\u2019s essential that you care for them correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t already, you should brush and floss your teeth thoroughly (but gently) twice daily to remove plaque and bacteria that contribute to periodontal problems. You should also visit your dentist for a professional cleaning so they can ensure you haven\u2019t developed any symptoms of early gum disease, which can be hard to catch on your own at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Issue #3: Injured Enamel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Enamel is the hardest substance produced by the human body and serves as a natural shield that protects your teeth from acid damage and harmful bacteria that live in your mouth. Although it\u2019s incredibly resilient, it\u2019s not entirely invincible: you can unfortunately chip or crack your teeth if you grind them or sustain a blow to the face, which is common among athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might even have hairline fractures that are nearly invisible to the naked eye, or you might have injured roots beneath the surface of your gums that you can\u2019t see. Your dentist will take X-rays at least once annually to ensure there are no problems lurking beneath your connective tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only that, but investing in regular checkups can safeguard your smile and is usually less costly than paying for expensive repairs after you\u2019ve already developed an issue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Harris Parkway Dental Care, patients benefit from dedicated dentists who have been helping people enhance their dental health since 1980!
