3 Smart Ways to Find the Right Dentist
Study: No-Drill Dentistry Stops Tooth Decay
Is it possible to stop tooth decay without the help of fillings? Yes. The latest study from University of Sydney states that tooth decay can be stopped and reversed with no-drill dentistry, which means there is no drilling and filling involved to halt the dental caries.
If you have dental anxiety and the sound of a dentist’s drill alone sends chills down your spine, then this new study may offer hope. The results of the seven-year study were published in Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology in December 2015, which suggests that there’s often no need for the traditional “fill-and-drill” and that dental caries can be stopped with preventative oral care.
Professional Teeth Cleaning in Melbourne and its Health Benefits
There are two main objectives of professional teeth cleaning: first is to prevent tooth loss, and second is to help prevent diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and dementia. Aside from these, dental cleaning can prevent the need for costly dental procedures such as treatment for gum disease and tooth fillings.
A professional teeth cleaning is recommended every six months as part of your regular dental visits. According to Academy of General Dentistry, an organisation dedicated to providing reliable dental and consumer information, getting your teeth professionally cleaned twice a year can significantly improve your oral health.
