Keeping Toledo’s Kids Smiling With Dental Sealants

Who doesn’t want to keep their kid’s smiles healthy and whole? But sometimes, no matter how well you make sure they brush their teeth or how often they floss, their teeth are just prone to cavities. 

Why? Some teeth have deeper grooves, fissures and pits than others. These grooves can collect and hold plaque in a way that makes cleaning the teeth very difficult for young brushers. And we all know that when plaque stays on teeth it leads to cavities.

That’s why I recommend dental sealants for all of my young patients – and even some older ones who have more texture to their molars. Sealants smooth the tooth’s surface so the plaque won’t stick as well and so cleaning is a snap.

Gum Disease Treatment in Toledo By Dr. Timothy Tomase

We all know that gum disease puts us at risk for losing teeth.  When gums become red, puffy, swollen and bleed easily, they don’t “hold” teeth securely. Left untreated, teeth become loose and eventually fall out. As if that weren’t bad enough, we now have new reason to be diligent about regular dental checkups and hygiene appointments. Recent studies have linked gum disease to an increased risk of serious health problems, including: heart attack, stroke, pancreatic cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, premature birth and more. As dentists, we’ve long suspected a link between oral health and overall health. These studies have shown that the bacteria associated with gum disease can get into your blood stream and travel through your system, wreaking havoc along the way. Regular dental appointments every six months allow your dental care team to monitor your dental health and stop any periodontal problems before they can become serious threats to your health. IF you haven’t been to the dentist in over 6 months, be sure to schedule an appointment now.

Saving Toledo’s teeth With A Root Canal

Your other teeth can shift out of place become crooked uneven and unbalanced. This lack of balance can lead to TMJ pain and make eating difficult.
