As a dentist in Kennett Square, we can help you to have a good summer vacation by making sure that you do not develop a sudden toothache while gone.  Most people don’t realize that it takes time for tooth decay to build to the point where it causes a toothache. It depends on the patient, but in many cases, you could be developing a cavity for several months to a year before it reaches the point of intense dental discomfort or pain.

Ways a Dentist in Kennett Square Can Help You

• Clean your teeth.  We will remove plaque and tartar that have built up on your teeth so that they are not able to cause a cavity. Even if you brush regularly, there are certain spots in the mouth which can become traps for plaque and food particles. As a result, you may not even realize that you are missing a certain area or that tarter is forming. We can catch it and remove it to ensure that you maintain good health.
• Check for signs of tooth decay. We will look for soft spots that are indicative of decay. Catching it early will prevent you from experiencing a toothache while on the road. Typically, if we can catch decay when it is small and insignificant, we can remove it and restore your tooth quickly and oftentimes without the need for anesthesia.
• Complete restorations.  We also want to look and see if any of your teeth are damaged. If you have slightly chipped a tooth while eating, you may not even notice that you’ve done so, but your tooth may be sensitive. We can see if your sensitivity is caused by slight dental damage and if it is, we can restore your teeth in one or two visits. Using a solution like dental bonding, we can fix teeth that are cracked or chipped in one visit to our office.  With a more significant dental restoration, like a crown, we can work with you to create a treatment plan and ensure that what we do provide you with, is going to be sufficient for preventing pain on your trip.
