Smiles are meant to last a lifetime, and it takes diligent, daily dental care to make that happen. With proper oral hygiene, you can have healthy, attractive teeth. Abrams Family Dentistry is here to help guide you on your journey towards optimal oral health. 

From keeping your teeth strong to assisting with total body health, here is why proper oral care is so important:

Cavity Prevention

Many of us have experienced cavities, and remember how painful and unsightly they can be. Cavities develop when there is an overabundance of negative bacteria in your mouth, causing an acidic environment. When plaque or not removed from the teeth regularly with proper oral hygiene at home, it will cause a cavity.

To keep cavities at bay, it is essential to brush your teeth thoroughly, at least twice a day or after meals, to make sure that food particles aren't stuck on or between your teeth. Flossing is also crucial for removing any bits from the tight spaces between your teeth.

If you think you might have a cavity, make sure to schedule an appointment at our Budd Lake office right away to have it cleaned and filled before it becomes worse. If left untreated, the cavity can I infect the nerve and a root canal is needed. 

Gum Disease Prevention

At least once a year, we will check your gum health through an easy and quick process called perio probing. Make sure to make regular appointments at least 2x a year so we can look for signs of gum disease, and remove any stubborn plaque with special tools. In cases of severe gum disease, you may be referred to a gum specialist (periodontist) for further treatment. 

Total Body Health

Dental issues can negatively impact your whole body, meaning it is imperative to practice good oral hygiene. Poor dental health can increase your risk of health conditions like heart disease, as well as preventing you from eating nutritious foods that ensure your body is getting the proper vitamins and minerals it needs to be strong and healthy.

During your visit to our Budd Lake office, Dr. Steven Abrams and Dr. Elyse Abrams will look closely for any signs of tooth decay, gum infection, or other signs of poor oral health. If indicated, we will help you restore your oral health with any necessary treatments. 

With consistent at-home care, combined with the assistance of our educated and dedicated office staff, you can achieve and maintain a healthy smile. Make an appointment at our Budd Lake office today by calling 973-691-8200.
