With proper care, permanent teeth can last a lifetime. Good oral hygiene, a low-sugar and acid diet, the use of a mouthguard when playing sports, and regular dental visits can all help to reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss. Everyone, including young children, should go to the dentist twice a year. Dental treatment can now be performed with no or minimal discomfort using modern techniques. When you visit the dentist for a check-up, your dentist should inquire about your general health and medications. Many medical conditions affect your oral health and vice versa. Some medications can have an effect on your mouth and must be considered before receiving dental treatment. Each tooth will be examined by your dentist using small instruments such as a mirror and probe (a fine, pick-like tool). The dentist checks for tooth decay, gum disease, and other conditions. The mouth's soft tissues (gums, tongue, lips, cheeks, and palate) are also examined for signs of oral cancer and other potential problems. Your dentist may also check your jaw joints and the lymph nodes in your neck. X-rays may be required if a suspected dental problem is difficult to see (for example, possible decay between two adjacent teeth or an infection). If there is a problem, your dentist will explain the treatment options and provide you with an estimate of the cost and time required.
