Regular Dental Care in Tulsa
From Dental Checkups to White Tooth Fillings
Regular dental care has always been important in maintaining your oral health and keeping your teeth for your lifetime. However, studies now show that your oral health can affect your total health.
- Bacteria associated with gum disease can get into your blood stream and travel through your body, leading to an increased risk of stroke, heart disease and more.
- A missing tooth or worn teeth can throw off the alignment of your jaw, causing TMJ pain, headaches, sore jaw and a host of painful symptoms you might never associate with your mouth.
- Missing teeth can cause loss of jawbone.
- Decay and cavities left untreated can cause infections and abscesses.
The list goes on and on. The point is that “general” dentistry or “regular” dentistry is not so general or regular. They are essential to maintaining optimal health from head to toe.
To deliver the most precise care, Dr. Canady uses a magnification loupe in many of his dental treatments. In terms of general dentistry, the loupe can help Dr. Canady more accurately diagnose any problems, cavities or cracks in the tooth. A loupe also allows him to place fillings and restorations that fit better. With a loupe, dentistry is far more accurate!
We Recommend a General Dentistry Visit Two Times a Year
From regular checkups, teeth cleaning and fluoride treatments to white fillings, magnification loupes and advanced gum treatment, we at the Tulsa dental practice of Dr. Richard Canady do all we can to help you keep your mouth – and the rest of you! – as healthy as possible.
We recommend you visit the dentist at least two times a year. This frequency allows us to keep an eye on your dental health and stop problems before they can even start.
