Why Good Oral Health and the Perfect Smile No Longer Means Fear of the Dentist

Maintaining good oral health is a vital but sometimes underestimated part of overall healthy living – failure to look after teeth and the mouth in general can lead to tooth decay and gum disease, but that’s only the start of the problem. At its worst, advanced gum disease can lead to other severe health conditions that are not usually associated with oral health, such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s and cancer.

As with many recommended behaviours in life, embedding the habit of cleaning teeth regularly begins in childhood. Another useful habit in ensuring good oral health is frequent visits to the dentist for check-ups. However, for many people this is a daunting prospect, especially for those who feel squeamish about dental treatment. And then there is the cost – how can people be sure that they are getting value for money from their dentist?

Dental Office Thornhill delivers dental care to both children and adults. The team places an emphasis on creating a relaxed atmosphere to calm the nerves of worried patients, whether they are adult or child. It also offers a customized care plan for patients, based on their particular needs, and provides services from traditional oral healthcare to more bespoke cosmetic dentistry.

“At Dental Office Thornhill, everything we do is with the patient as the priority,” said a spokesperson for the Dental Office. “It starts with compassionate care, which recognizes how stressful some people find a visit to the dentist. Along with their technical skills, our team is able to provide comfort and reassurance for patients. And because it is so important to create good dental habits early on, we take extra care to ensure that our child patients don’t feel deterred by their trip to the dentist.”

While regular visits to the dentist are the best way of detecting early signs of problems, sometimes problems do occur and Dental Office Thornhill provides the full range of traditional dental treatment. This includes root canal treatment in the event of serious infection, dental crowns to protect broken or weak teeth from further damage, dental bridges to maintain facial structure and improve the bite, and wisdom teeth removal when they are impacted, misaligned or infected.

Also provided is an array of cosmetic dentistry services, for patients who have maintained good oral health but may still feel unhappy with the appearance of their smile. This includes teeth whitening, which can be done at the Dental Office or via a take-home kit, and dental veneers, which are porcelain shells especially moulded for individual teeth that may be crooked or have damaged enamel – and they can also fill noticeable gaps between teeth. Dental Office Thornhill also provides dental implants, which while being a more complicated surgical procedure, usually result in a more robust fitting that is designed to outlast bridges and crowns.

Dealing with the finance side of dental treatment can be an unwanted extra, and Dental Office Thornhill can smooth out this process by billing patients’ insurance companies direct. They also offer a 15% discount on all services for patients aged 65 and over.
