Sandy Springs Dentist: Covid-19 and Your Dental Care

The COVID-19 pandemic changed a lot of things about our daily lives in 2020. And your regular visits to the dentist changed, too. In March of 2020, the ADA recommended that dentists postpone all but emergency procedures until April 30 at the earliest to help reduce the spread of the virus; save masks gloves and other personal protective equipment and help keep patients who need emergency treatment from going to busy hospital emergency rooms.

Now that 2020 has passed, vaccines are in the pipeline of our society and states have reopened, dental practices are seeing patients for the full range of dental services without any issues.

An October 2020 report published in The Journal of the American Dental Association found that fewer than one percent of dentists nationwide were found to have had COVID-19 and 99 percent of dentists were using enhanced infection control procedures such as screening protocols and enhanced disinfection practices when treating patients.  Additionally, an October 2020 study published in February 2021 also found a low infection rate of COVID-19 among dental hygienists.

What’s important here is the knowledge that we are handling the risk factor very well and it’s safe to come to our offices in Sandy Springs and Chamblee for your dental needs. Remember, regular dental visits are an essential part of your overall heath. Be sure to reschedule your dental checkups, particularly if you have been vaccinated.  Our ADA dentists will make sure your visit is as safe as possible for everyone involved.

Dentist Sandy Springs: It’s Your Mouth and Your Health

While usually overlooked, tooth decay, gum disease and oral cancer are chronic oral diseases. For those who don’t understand, a chronic disease is a health condition that lasts a long time and can affect people of any age. But the vast majority of chronic diseases can be prevented, and yet they are still the leading cause of poor health, including poor oral health.

The risk factors for oral diseases include poor oral hygiene, an unhealthy diet, using tobacco, tobacco-like products and drinking too much alcohol. These risk factors and others, like not getting enough physical activity and sleep apnea raise the risk of heart disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes.

Knowing the risk factors for chronic diseases can help you to prevent them, which is why you see us on a regular basis. Eating healthy food, brushing with fluoride toothpaste, drinking water with fluoride are only part of the process. But keeping your regular visits to the dentist and dental hygienist help to promote good global health. Call now for your oral health.

Dentist Sandy Springs: Your Mouth, Your Health

Oral health is being able to smile, speak, chew, swallow, touch and express feelings and emotions without pain, discomfort and disease.

To a dentist, your mouth can tell us a lot about the health of your body. The mouth shows signs of tooth decay, gum disease and other oral health problems. It can also show signs of other disease, if you’re missing certain foods from your diet and unhealthy habits such as using tobacco, tobacco-like products and alcohol.

If properly taken care of, good oral health gives you the confidence to live, work and play. Oral health is important for well-being and quality of life; the two are related and one broadcasts about the other.

Eating healthy food, brushing with fluoride toothpaste, drinking water with fluoride, and regular visits to the dentist and dental hygienist helps to promote good global health. Call now for your oral health.

Sandy Springs Dentist – Facts About Dental Visits

Going to the dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings is one of the most important factors in maintaining good oral health. Regular check-ups can help prevent cavities, root canals, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental conditions. Don’t wait until you have a problem before you see your dentist; help prevent problems before they happen.

For example, Gum disease is one of the main causes of tooth loss in adults and has also been linked to heart disease and strokes. If diagnosed in the early stage, gingivitis can be treated and reversed. If treatment is not received, a more serious and advanced stage of gum disease, called Periodontitis, which includes bone loss, may follow. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and getting regular dental checkups and cleanings are the best prevention against gum disease.

SEE US NOW OR SEE US LATER

If our dentist gives you a treatment plan for dental work that you need to have done, you should focus on getting your teeth fixed as soon as possible. Even cavities can get bigger. And if they get big enough to reach the nerve in your tooth, your only options will be to have a root canal or have the tooth extracted.

There are those that think having good dental health takes too much effort. But seeing the dentist for regular dental check-ups and cleanings, brushing twice a day, flossing daily and eating a nutritional diet are the key factors in having healthy teeth and gums. So give us a call and SEE US NOW.
