In 1985, Dr. Bill Dorfman established Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles. Dr. Dorfman is a distinctive dental professional committed to preventative dentistry. The goal of preventative dentistry is to preserve oral health in Los Angeles so that no restorative dental work ever becomes necessary. In other words, preventing dental cavities, gum disease, and enamel wear.
Safe Guarding Oral Health in Los Angeles
Brushing your teeth and flossing is a good beginning to preventative dentistry. It is also imperative that you get bi-annual exams and dental cleanings. With little ones, dental sealants might be a good option. Dental sealants are a thin plastic covering, frequently used on the very back teeth. These teeth are especially susceptible to trapped food particles, and at the same time tend to be the hardest ones to brush. The goal of a sealant is to safeguard a tooth against decay.
Despite efforts to keep children’s teeth healthy, many children develop several cavities during their youth. Since the rate of tooth decay ordinarily declines with age, if teeth remain intact during childhood, there is a better chance that these teeth can stay healthy for decades.
Fillings and crowns do a great job of saving your teeth from extraction, but they don’t last forever. When a 10-year-old gets a cavity in a brand-new permanent tooth, that tooth will probably need periodic attention throughout his life – even if no additional decay occurs. Once the enamel has been eaten away by acids, the tooth is forever weakened. Brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings help ensure that teeth are strong and clean and will last a lifetime. Changing your toothbrush every few months and using a toothpaste with fluoride are also critical components of proper oral care.
