Don’t Wait to get Treatment!

4/7/2020

0 Comments

 
When it comes to getting dental treatment, many people push it off. There are many reasons why patients may push treatment off. Including insufficient funds, insecurity about the medical necessity and even going on a vacation. Although these may seem like legitimate reasons getting treatment when the issue is diagnosed is important as to not incur further decay.

Diagnosis of Decay

Dentist can detect tooth decay by:
  • Locating teeth with pain and sensitivity
  • Evaluating your mouth and teeth
  • Checking for soft areas on your teeth with dental probes
  • Examining dental X-rays

Decay is an Active Process

The biggest reason we recommend patients get treatment as soon as decay is diagnosed is because decay is an active process. When someone is diagnosed with any varying degree of decay, overtime the decay will worsen. Although preventative measures like bushing and flossing twice a day is important and can help prevent against decay. Getting semi annual check ups are important.


Treatment

Regular checkups help identify cavities and other dental conditions before they cause troubling symptoms and lead to more-serious problems. The sooner you seek care, the better your chances are of reversing the earliest stages of tooth decay and preventing its progression. If a cavity is treated before it starts causing pain, you probably won't need extensive treatment.


There are three different types of cavities and they are treated using the following methods:
  • Fluoride treatments. In the very early stages, a fluoride treatment may help restore your tooth's enamel and can sometimes reverse a cavity. Professional fluoride treatments contain more fluoride than the amount found in tap water, toothpaste and mouth rinses.
  • Fillings. Fillings are a good treatment method option when decay has progressed beyond the earliest stage. Fillings are made of various materials, such as tooth-colored composite resins.
  • Crowns. For extensive decay or weakened teeth, you may need a crown. A crown is a custom-fitted covering that replaces your tooth's entire natural crown. Crowns may be made of stainless steel, gold, high strength porcelain, resin, porcelain fused to metal or other materials.
  • Root canals. When decay reaches the inner material of your tooth, you may need a root canal. This is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of removing it. The diseased tooth pulp is removed. Medication is sometimes put into the root canal to clear any infection. Then the pulp is replaced with a filling.
  • Tooth extractions. Some teeth become so severely decayed that they can't be restored and must be removed. Having a tooth pulled can leave a gap that allows your other teeth to shift. It is highly recommended to get a bridge or a dental implant to replace the missing tooth.

Delayed Treatment

Although getting treatment may seem like not a pressing issue, it should be. Seeing immediate treatment of decaying teeth, will allow many you to preserve the integrity of your existing teeth. If you're experiencing pain or sensitivity in your teeth, make an appointment with us as soon as possible, we also accept walk-ins an up to an hour and a half prior to us closing.


Treatment During This Time

Getting treatment during this time with the coronavirus, should still be a priority. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort you should call your local Texas Dental Group location to try to be seen. Houston: 713-633-1922; Galveston: 409-740-7744; Conroe: 936-760-3050; Richmond: 281-238-4454. Fillings, crowns, root canals, and tooth extractions among the treatments that would be considered emergency dental care.

What is a Virtual Visit?

A Virtual Visit is a virtual consultation using a broad variety of technologies and tactics to deliver virtual medical, health, and education services, and can be applied to specific health care disciplines, such as dentistry.

Virtual Visits can include patient care and education delivery using, but not limited to, the following modalities:
  • Live video (synchronous): Live, two-way interaction between patient and provider using audiovisual telecommunications technology.
  • Store-and-forward (asynchronous): Transmission of recorded health information through a secure electronic communications system to a practitioner, who uses the information to evaluate a patient’s condition or render a service outside of a real-time or live interaction.
  • Remote patient monitoring (RPM): Personal health and medical data collection from an individual in one location via electronic communication technologies, which is transmitted to a provider in a different location for use in care and related support of care.
  • Mobile health (mHealth): Health care and public health practice and education supported by mobile communication devices such as cell phones, tablet computers, and personal digital assistants (PDA).

​How to make an appointment:
Step 1: Call office or request an appointment at www.texasdental.group
Step 2: Patient sends office intraoral photos and or 7 second video displaying the need for the emergency
Step 3: Brief video conferencing with patient where necessary
Step 4: Final treatment plan provided, explained and scheduled
Step 5: Happy satisfied patient with maximum efficiency
