Many of us indulge in special treats throughout the holidays, which makes end-of-the-year dentistry ideal. Additionally, many health funds may expire at year’s end, meaning you did not receive all the benefits you were due.
Your dentists in Katoomba, NSW, recommend scheduling a final dental visit. It may be a check-up and teeth clean or a more complex visit dealing with essentials like splints, mouthguards, or restorative work.
In some cases, you can start treatment one year and complete it the following year, especially for procedures that require more than one dental visit.
Additionally, we think it’s nice to kick off the new year with a clean bill of dental health.
End-of-Year Dental Treatments to Consider
TMJ and Bruxism Evaluations
If you currently wear a nightguard for TMJ or bruxism (teeth grinding), it’s essential to ensure the splint works as it should. Additionally, you may notice symptoms of TMJ or bruxism for the first time. It’s crucial to seek an evaluation sooner rather than later.
Restorative Dentistry
Do you have a chipped tooth you’d like the dentist to evaluate? Perhaps you have a restoration that doesn’t fit snuggly—for example, a loose dental crown. It’s always a good idea to talk to your dentist about ill-fitting or damaged restorations. Without repair or replacement, they can introduce bacteria to the tooth, leading to infection and pain.
Tooth Sensitivity
If you’ve noticed tooth sensitivity or other oral health changes, we recommend visiting our dental clinic before the holidays. Tooth sensitivity can worsen over time, and it’s essential to learn why it is occurring. It can mean mild infection that may increase or a growing cavity on the tooth. You can’t always see tooth decay!
