Dental Preventive Care is Self-Care: Putting Your Health First
Many people view self-care as a recent trend, focusing on indulgent ways to take care of yourself, such as taking a mental health day or treating yourself to spa treatment. But doctors agree that self-care isn’t just about doing something “extra” for yourself. To have a lasting effect, self-care should be an ongoing part of your lifestyle. It must also include preventive care that protects you from potentially more severe health issues later in life.
What is Preventive Self-Care?
Preventive self-care is any care that protects you against medical or dental complications that could diminish your health. Mammograms, colonoscopies, and yearly physicals are all considered preventive self-care. Dental preventive care is a form of self-care that is often overlooked but is essential to your well-being in several ways. Preventive dental care helps prevent cavities, and progression of gum disease, and a host of other dental problems. Procedures such as dental cleanings, dental exams, periodontal charting and monitoring, denture prophies, and denture fit exams and when needed denture replacement can also boost your mental health. You feel better knowing your smile is fresh and clean and that there are no undiagnosed dental issues that you are left unaware of that could fester and make you ill
Preventive Dental Care Everyone Should Include in Their Self-Care Routine
To improve your overall health by practicing dental self-care, include regular denture maintenance (denture prophy, denture fit check which may result in adjustment or relining) and oral health care (general dental exam and digital x-rays or panorex, cleaning, perio charting and perio maintenance as needed) in your hectic schedule. You should always leave the office with your next preventative care appointment booked because it is easy to remember if you treat it with the degree of importance that it clearly deserves, that you clearly deserve!
A minimum of Twice-Yearly Dental Checkups
Regular dental checkups can catch early signs of dental caries, periodontal disease, and oral cancer. Early detection means early treatment and a greater chance of full recovery.
Denture Adjustment and Relining
It is tempting to let minor fit issues slide when you wear dentures. These issues often develop slowly and lead patients to develop coping strategies to minimize their discomfort or deal with slipping or pinching. Good dental self-care means paying attention to these issues.
You wouldn’t want anyone in your family to endure the pain or the irritation of loose dentures; why should you? At the first sign of discomfort, including pressure sores or irritation on the gums, contact New York Denture Dental for an examination of your dentures. We can often adjust, repair, and reline your dentures in a single visit. It’s a convenient form of self-care that improves your comfort, dental health, and smile.
Denture Replacement
Do you tolerate cheap, poorly made dentures because you prefer spending money on your family? Are you worried that new dentures may be seen as frivolous to others? Nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, replacing damaged, poorly fitted, or poorly crafted dentures with high-quality dentures is self-care in its truest form – you are improving your ability to eat well, protecting your gums and jawbone from irritation, and gaining a beautiful, natural smile that reflects your awareness of your own value. If you need a new denture because your old dentures are worn down and has led to a collapsed, older looking appearance, the results be will immediate and dramatic.
