Have you noticed\nhow much easier it is to get through life when you are part of a team? At home,\nyour family is your team, pulling together to get everyone to where they need\nto be, get them fed and clean and sheltered so they can go far in life. There\nare also other team members that we call on from time to time as back-up for\nthe more complex things the family can\u2019t do. One member of that team is your dentist in Stevenage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dentist<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Have some regular contact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like being in\nany team, the members need contact. You are with your immediate family nearly\nevery day, and your friends very frequently too. You don\u2019t need to come into Smilecraft<\/strong> anywhere near as often, but\nyou do need regular contact with your dentist in Stevenage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We usually recommend that patients come in for a check-up\nevery 6 months, but if you are pregnant or have diabetes or another condition,\nwe will probably want to see you more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact for us is\nnot just about saying, \u2018Hello, get in the chair and open your mouth\u2019. We want\nto hear about you, what you\u2019ve been up to and whether you have any niggles or\nquestions about your oral health. After all, you spend all day, every day, with\nyour teeth and gums, and will have important information to give us about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our part is to do\nthe bits you can\u2019t, such as having a good look for the beginnings of problems\nsuch as tooth decay and gum disease. You won\u2019t be able to feel them when they\nfirst appear, but we will be able to see them. Decay shows up first as white\npatches on the enamel as it starts to corrode. Gum disease might be too red\ngums at the back of your teeth, or places where the gum is coming away from the\nteeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we can catch\nthese problems early, we can work as a team to fix them before they become\nreally serious. All it takes is a small filling, a good, deep clean and polish\nand you can get back to daily life and do more fun stuff with your team at\nhome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
