Enhancing Oral Health at North Dover Dental of Toms River
We understand that day-to-day life can be very hectic. Between work, family, and social commitments, it’s tough to make that extra effort to care for your dental health. At North Dover Dental of Toms River, our Toms River dentist wants to make your regular dental visit a relaxing and positive experience. Our modern office uses a digital X-ray and intraoral camera better to diagnose your dental needs in a relaxing environment.
Regular dental care is important. We can detect tooth decay early, which can save time, money, and your teeth! Even if you brush and clean between your teeth each day, your teeth need professional cleanings at the dental office. Professional cleaning helps remove stains, plaque, and tartar from your teeth to keep your smile bright. It also helps prevent periodontal (gum) disease.
At your dental appointment, we check the health of your teeth and gums to ensure that all is well. A careful exam of your mouth is important to detect signs of oral cancer, and other problems, at an early stage when they are easier to treat.
Taking care of your oral health is important throughout your life span. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 90% of adults in the U.S. over 20 years of age have, or have had, tooth decay. Nearly one-quarter have untreated tooth decay. Periodontal disease is also very common; almost half of adults over 30 years of age have periodontitis. Regular dental visits are also important for denture wearers to ensure a proper fit.
