Our teeth are a very important part of our lives. We need them to chew and enjoy the foods we love and losing any number of teeth can be a blow to our self-confidence.
It’s important to look after our teeth as well as we can by brushing at least twice a day, flossing at least once a day and using anti-bacterial mouthwash.
Although most of the maintenance of our teeth is down to us; visiting the dentist regularly is vitally important in ensuring their health in the future. Here at Liverpool Smile Studio we offer a wide range of treatments that can help to keep your teeth feeling healthy and looking great too.
Your dentist in Liverpool can spot any problems before they develop into something more serious.
Oral health assessment
Here at your Liverpool dentist, our regular oral health assessments can provide a lot of information on the overall health of your mouth.
We don’t just examine your teeth when you come for an assessment but the whole of your mouth, including the soft tissues. When we examine you we will be checking for any signs of infection and diseases. We also check for early signs of oral cancer.
Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss so it’s important to spot any symptoms as soon as possible to explore treatment options.
Another leading cause of tooth loss is tooth decay. To prevent tooth decay, your dentist will check for any signs and advise on any preventive treatments you may need, such as fillings or root canals.
Prevention is better than cure
Although we do provide a wide range of restorative treatments, we always believe that prevention is better than cure.
We will always advise on ways you can better look after your oral health, including advice on how much you should brush and advice on quitting smoking, which significantly lowers your risk of developing gum disease.
A wide range of modern braces and aligners are also available to help improve the strength of your teeth. Straighter teeth are healthier teeth, so it can be a worthwhile investment and make you feel great about your teeth.
