Have you been practicing proper dental prophylaxis? Brushing and flossing twice a day is a good start to proper dental hygiene, but without regular professional dental cleanings from your local
Larchmont dental office, you are still liable to developing tooth decay. Sensitive teeth that ache or twinge often can be a sign that your teeth require treatment for dental decay though the use of dental fillings. At the offices of Todd D. Wortman, DDS we offer many different types of dental fillings to treat different areas of your smile for dental care that is both personal and professional.
Family Dental Care in Larchmont
Dental decay can occur from poor dental hygiene even if you are brushing and flossing as recommended. Adults need to be seeing their local
Larchmont dental office twice a year for regular dental cleanings. Only a professional dental cleaning can remove hardened plaque and tartar, as well as the harmful bacteria which cause your tooth decay. Drinking acidic beverages such as coffee, cola, and some types of tea can also cause erosion of your dentin and lead to tooth decay. You should always discuss your diet and dental history with our professional hygienist at the offices of Todd D. Wortman, DDS for the best care possible of your smile.
Fillings are needed when tooth decay creates small holes or fissure in your teeth, which can make them prone to infection and cavities. Different teeth and areas of your mouth require different types of fillings for treatment. Molars are best treated with molars made of metals, as these are the most durable and can withstand the bite forces required of them for proper chewing and wear of your teeth. No one but you and your dentist can ever see your molars, so you never need worry about anyone seeing your metal fillings. For front-facing teeth, the staff of our
Larchmont dental office often recommends composite or porcelain fillings. These cosmetic fillings are not as strong as metal fillings, but instead can be made to match the look and color of your surrounding teeth for a smile that is truly as healthy as it is beautiful.
