Permanent teeth can last a lifetime if properly cared for. Good oral hygiene, a low-sugar and acid diet, wearing a mouthguard when participating in sports, and visiting the dentist on a regular basis can all help to reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss. Everyone, including children, should visit the dentist at least twice a year. Using modern techniques, dental treatment can now be performed with no or minimal discomfort. When you go to the dentist for a checkup, your dentist should ask about your overall health and medications. Many medical conditions can have an impact on your oral health and vice versa. Some medications can have an effect on your mouth and must be taken into account before receiving dental treatment. Your dentist will examine each tooth with small instruments such as a mirror and probe (a fine, pick-like tool). The dentist examines you for tooth decay, gum disease, and other problems. The soft tissues of the mouth (gums, tongue, lips, cheeks, and palate) are also checked for signs of oral cancer and other potential issues. Your dentist may also examine your jaw joints and neck lymph nodes. If a suspected dental problem is difficult to see, X-rays may be required (for example, possible decay between two adjacent teeth or an infection). If there is a problem, your dentist will explain your treatment options and provide you with a cost and time estimate.
