TOOTH DECAY

Consumers are bombarded with information about preventing tooth decay from TV and media ads, but most of this information promotes mouthwashes, toothbrushes and toothpaste. Dr. Chapnick shares a broader range of methods to treat and prevent tooth decay with his patients, because so many options are virtually unknown to the general public.

For example:

• Are you aware of the benefits of white fillings? Not only do these look better cosmetically, but are safer for your teeth than metal fillings. They help prevent tooth decay because they bond more securely than metal fillings.
• Do you know how to prevent gum disease and tooth infections as well as tooth decay? Regular dental checkups and cleaning along with good oral hygiene can help keep your natural teeth healthy and strong for a lifetime.
• A smile makeover includes both cosmetic and treatment procedures that both fix and prevent tooth decay. Smile makeovers are highly personalized and tailored to your evaluation. They are not a generic package deal.

Tooth decay is often preventable, but we need to be informed from reliable sources, not just what we see in the media.
