One of the things that more progressive dentists are promoting today, like Dr. Lawrence Klein, of St. Petersburg, Florida are doing are education for their family patients. Education in the way of home dental care and consistent oral hygiene is actually an investment in their own practice. By teaching better methods of daily maintenance, dentists keep their families happy and avoid the events that can be very painful and even prevent them from returning soon. Counter intuitive perhaps but effective nonetheless. One might initially believe that a root canal, or cavity fillings are higher priced dental services that represent a higher margin of profit. Initially that may be true, but there are collateral effects that negative procedures with patients can produce.
Klein talks about developing a family practice of generations of toddlers up through grandparents where his office cares for the entire clan. The steady volume of regular visits and check ups of these families keeps his office busy and patients happy. He breaks down better methods for flossing, diet, and brushing whereby the preventive home dental care practices can make immense differences in the over all dental well being of patients.
There are certainly circumstances that are unavoidable such as accidents and genetic situations however the lion’s share of dental hygiene can be dealt with if practiced consistently and early enough to prevent major catastrophes in teeth maintenance. Children actually can have fun with brushing and using ways to keep the big bad cavities from occurring.
Root canals are done by some dentists and certainly root canal specialists such as endodontists whose services are required when a cavity is left untreated to penetrate the tooth canal into the tooth’s root itself. Ergo, the extent of pain and discomfort when such an unfortunate event takes place.
Keep your teeth safe and clean with regular home care or contact your family dentist.
