There are plenty of similarities between men and women when it comes to teeth. However, not everything is the same and it’s worth noting the differences, so you know where you need to focus a little more.
At Smilecraft, we are here to support you as an individual and help you get the most out of our practice. This means offering you routine care, preventive work, cosmetic treatments and restorations when necessary. We prefer to prevent rather than treat, as this gives you the best chance of having a healthy smile for longer, but we can step in at any stage.
Oral hygiene
Statistics show that men are less likely to visit their dentist and take care of their teeth. This puts them at greater risk of tooth decay and gum disease. The dentist is a vital player when it comes to spotting and treating these issues. They can spot issues in the early stages, before they get too bad. This means that visiting the dentist in Stevenage is a practical way to prevent long-term problems that might cost time and money.
Medications
It’s a stressful life sometimes for men and women. However, men remain at greater risk for medical issues like diabetes and heart disease. Both of these, and other conditions, can have an effect on oral health. This might be as a direct result of the condition or using medication which cause dry mouth, bad breath and other side effects. If you begin using new medication, or you are diagnosed with a new condition, it is important that you let your dentist in Stevenage, at Smilecraft, know as soon as possible.
Cosmetic work
More and more men are realising that they, too, can take care of the appearance of their smile with cosmetic dental procedures. Rather than joining other beauty treatments and being consigned to the ‘women-only’ pile, cosmetic dentistry has a lot to offer guys as well. Imagine going to that next meeting or presentation with a brighter look. Imagine standing next to your partner on your wedding day having polished up the smile you are going to give them. All these things, and more, are possible at the dentist in Stevenage.
