PAIN OR PREVENTION
WHAT ’ S YOUR SIGNAL ?
Ouch ! The dreaded toothache . Better call the dentist for an emergency visit . In your previous exams with your Dentist , the tooth he recommended to fix now needs to be treated because it broke and you need double the work for double the price . In the past , unfortunately , pain was the indicator we used to determine that a tooth needed treatment . Today , with modern technology , intraoral photos , and digital x-rays , we can help you PREVENT pain by diagnosing potential problems before they get worse .
WHAT IS THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FILM AND DIGITAL X-RAYS ?
Digital x-rays are far superior in the quality , accuracy , and ability to enhance . Films of the past were captured by larger amounts of radiation , where today ’ s modern equipment emits a far less amount .
WHAT IS AN INTRAORAL CAMERA ?
It is a camera that is used in the mouth to see what the doctor sees . The assistant or doctor takes pictures of each tooth to diagnosis thoroughly . It shows the patient , in color , the visible decay , fractures , breaks , or other unfortunate breakdown of the tooth .
WHAT CAN WE DO WHEN WE ARE AT THE DENTIST ’ S OFFICE ?
We can actively look at the photos and x-rays on the screen in front of us , and we can listen , and ask questions to understand what the diagnosis is from the doctor . We can actively participate in the preventive treatment recommended by our doctor so we can avoid the pain later and save money .

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PREVENTIVE TREATMENT VS . WAITING FOR THE PAIN ?
1 . It is healthy for you ! Any decay lingering in your mouth can cause bad breath and a potential health problem .
2 . You keep your teeth longer ! Studies show that pulling our teeth sooner than later lessens our years . Also we can enjoy eating , drinking , and smiling with confidence !
3 . It ’ s financially smart . Think of a very small leak in your roof . If you let it go until it gets worse , it would cost thousands more and cause trouble in more areas of your home . Likewise , if you let small issues go with your teeth , it will cost you thousands more and affect a lot more than just the tooth needing treatment .
