Fix Dental Problems Before Cosmetic Issues
The Academy of General Dentistry reports that more people are concerned with getting a pretty smile rather than a healthy one. Before requesting a cosmetic treatment, you need to take care of your restorative needs. Many patients pressure their dentist to address singular issues.
If you have holes in your teeth from decay, don’t ask a dentist to just cover the problems with veneers. Cavities need to be filled in with tooth colored composite resins or crowned to prevent spreading to other teeth. If you have periodontal disease, you need to have a gum treatment as soon as possible. If you have headaches, misaligned teeth or cavities may the problem.
