PAIN OR PREVENTION
WHAT’S
YOUR
SIGNAL?
O
uch! The dreaded
toothache. Better call the
dentist for an emergency visit.
In your previous exams with
your Dentist, the tooth he
recommended to fix now needs
to be treated because it broke
and you need double the work
for double the price. In the past,
unfortunately, pain was the
indicator we used to determine
that a tooth needed treatment. Today, with modern
technology, intraoral photos, and digital x-rays, we can
help you PREVENT pain by diagnosing potential problems
before they get worse.
WHAT IS THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FILM AND
DIGITAL X-RAYS?
Digital x-rays are far superior in the quality, accuracy, and ability
to enhance. Films of the past were captured by larger amounts
of radiation, where today’s modern equipment emits a far less
amount.
WHAT IS AN INTRAORAL
CAMERA?
It is a camera that is used in the
mouth to see what the doctor
sees. The assistant or doctor takes
pictures of each tooth to diagnosis
thoroughly. It shows the patient, in
color, the visible decay, fractures,
breaks, or other unfortunate
breakdown of the tooth.
WHAT CAN WE DO WHEN WE ARE
AT THE DENTIST’S OFFICE?
We can actively look at the photos
and x-rays on the screen in front
of us, and we can listen, and ask
questions to understand what the
diagnosis is from the doctor. We can
actively participate in the preventive
treatment recommended by our
doctor so we can avoid the pain later
and save money.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PREVENTIVE TREATMENT VS.
WAITING FOR THE PAIN?
1. It is healthy for you! Any decay lingering in your mouth can
cause bad breath and a potential health problem.
2. You keep your teeth longer! Studies show that pulling
our teeth sooner than later lessens our years. Also we can enjoy
eating, drinking, and smiling with confidence!
3. It’s financially smart. Think of a very small leak in your roof.
If you let it go until it gets worse, it would cost thousands more
and cause trouble in more areas of your home. Likewise, if you let
small issues go with your teeth, it will cost you thousands more
and affect a lot more than just the tooth needing treatment.
