Your family dentist near Brampton in Mississauga provides care to prevent the progression of dental problems

It is often said that there is no cure like prevention. This is true whether we are speaking of our oral health or our general health. Dr. Rina Kotecha teaches her patients that most of the dental problems they may experience can be prevented. Going above and beyond as a family dentist, she works with patients from Brampton and other areas near Mississauga to institute the practices that will enable them to enjoy their very best oral health for life.

Without prevention or prompt attention, dental problems can escalate unnecessarily.

A happy family
  • Cavities begin as weakened enamel. At first, areas of decay cannot be seen nor felt. Only as a cavity expands can it be noticed in x-rays and through physical sensations such as sensitivity. The physical signs of decay become more apparent as the acid from bacteria eats away healthy enamel to expose softer tissues in dentin and beyond, potentially exposing nerves and causing infection in the center of the tooth.
  • Gum disease, in its early stage, is so subtle that it is typically missed outside of the dental office. With early treatment, it is possible to eliminate the harmful bacteria that have made their way beneath the gums and minimize damage, even halt the progression of the disease. As inflammation continues without treatment, however, plaque and tartar accumulate near and beneath the gum line, inviting bacteria to colonize in hard to reach places that are in close proximity to periodontal structures and the jaw bone. Advanced gum disease can cause tooth loss and more.
  • Tooth loss is a much more common problem for adults than most people think. A tooth may be lost as a result of injury, but most commonly teeth are lost when they become extensively damaged by decay or impacted by gum disease. If a tooth must be extracted for any reason or is lost naturally, replacement is vital to sustain chewing function, oral health, and an attractive smile. If a missing tooth is not replaced, there is a greater chance for gum disease and cavities, as well as bone loss.

We understand that visiting the dentist may be difficult for many people. Dr. Kotecha and her friendly dental team offer comprehensive dental services in a relaxing environment, always explaining treatments and procedures in a way that can be understood.
