]]> Brushing your teeth each morning and night and flossing once per day is essential for removing food material and bacterial deposits from your teeth. At the same time, the American Dental Association also recommends that you have a routine dental checkup performed twice each year by a qualified dentist like Dr. Joseph Szymczak.

This outpatient appointment is designed to effectively clean and polish your teeth, while also detecting any early signs of oral health problems like oral cancer, gum disease, or cavities. Should Dr. Joseph Szymczak find anything amiss, he will help you understand the most effective treatment plan.

In some of these scenarios he might recommend administering a preventative treatment such as a fluoride treatment or applying dental sealants.

The fluoride treatment is designed to introduce concentrated fluoride to your tooth enamel to bolster the mineral density of your teeth. This will help prevent bacteria and plaque acids from promoting tooth decay.

Dental sealants are created from a special type of dental grade resin. Once applied to your teeth and hardened by the ultraviolet light they will create a protective barrier that prevents bacterial deposits from building up on the biting surfaces of your back teeth.  

If you live in the Grand Rapids, Michigan, area and you are due for a dental checkup, you should call 616-453-0002 to schedule an appointment at MI Roots Family Dental.

]]> Healthy teeth are essential to the function of your important function of your mouth. To answer this concern, the American Dental Association recommends that you brush your teeth each morning and night as well as thoroughly flossing once a day. They further advise you to have a dental checkup administered by a professionally trained dentist like Dr. Joseph Szymczak.

If any areas of tooth decay or periodontal health problems are detected he will help you understand the necessary treatment or preventative measures. Tooth enamel that shows signs of demineralization might be addressed by performing a fluoride treatment to help prevent future dental caries.

This can be done at the end of the appointment by pouring a small amount of concentrated fluoride gel into trays. They will be inserted into your mouth along with a suction wand. You will need to lightly bite down to hold them in place for a few minutes. The concentrated fluoride will then saturate the microscopic pores of your tooth enamel.

Afterward, you should try to abstain from eating or drinking for at least a half an hour to allow the fluoride to fully saturate the microscopic pores of your tooth enamel.

If you live in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and you are due for your next dental checkup, you should call 616-453-0002 to set up an appointment at MI Roots Family Dental.
