General Dentist 07024
Can you remember the last time you paid a visit to your local oral health care practice for a regular check-up? Chances are you are not visiting the dentist as often as you should. Many of us are under the belief that our teeth can be perfectly cared for within the comfort of our own homes, but the truth is that even with regular brushing and flossing twice daily with the proper instruments and procedures can still leave things behind. No matter what your age, patients need regular visits to their local Fort Lee dentist in order to prevent decay and disease from harming your smile. To find out how preventive dentistry can save you both time and money, simply visit the welcoming offices of Alvin Jacobs, DDS.

While brushing and flossing twice daily is a necessary basis to oral health care, is not the end of the needs of your smile. No matter how advanced your spin brush may be, no form of at home care can match the same effectiveness as the work of a professional hygienist at your trusted Fort Lee dentist. Within just twenty minutes after snacks and meals, stubborn deposits of tartar and calcium can begin to form on the surface of your teeth. Unlike plaque, this hardened build-up cannot be removed by any form of at home care. Without proper cleanings performed at least twice a year, this build-up can spread disease and decay, causing cavities which require further treatment.
Preventive dental care is about more than just regular cleanings, they also involve state of the art examinations that can detect what the naked eye cannot. Digital x-rays are performed upon your initial visit to you professional Fort Lee dentist in order to examine the mouth below the surface for the first signs of disease and decay. Digital x-rays provide greater detail than traditional x-rays, while putting out 90% less radiation. These images can show cavities, signs of gum disease, and even unerupted wisdom teeth to insure that these additional teeth will not cause problems for your teeth when they grow in to your smile. With regular examinations you can work to insure that your smile is protected from the ravages of disease and decay, by detecting problems before they can cause harm.
