Dentistry may seem a very straightforward practice. You visit the dentist for x-rays, cleanings, and examinations. From the time you are a child all the way through life, the standard routine for dental care does not seem to change much at all. You may have the perception that what your dentist does for you, she is also doing the very same things for every one of her other patients.
The fact is that every person is different. Getting good quality dental care from your dentist near Port Credit means receiving customized care designed around your needs at any given time. When consulting and examining patients, Dr. Kotecha is providing individual care and looking for issues that may be in their early developmental stages. For instance, one patient may be more prone to gum disease than another, or may be fighting active infection in gum tissue. Examination and treatment for this patient will differ from the person whose primary goal is to prevent cavities and gum disease.
When you know your dentist and she knows you, there is a sense of confidence that your needs will be met even before you know what they are. Dr. Kotecha has treated hundreds of patients of a wide variety of ages. Her expertise affords her the ability to understand the differing needs of patients. Younger patients may be more susceptible to cavities than gum disease while older patients are at risk for both. Men and women in their fifties and beyond may be even more prone to gum disease and require careful monitoring for this condition. Additionally, patients with certain medical conditions or undergoing certain medical treatments may need specific forms of dental care to facilitate optimal health.
The body is in a perpetual state of change. The aging process does not only affect the joints, the eyes, and the skin. Oral health is also affected by the various biochemical changes that take place in the body. You can feel confident that your smile will receive the exact care it needs as you experience the various changes that come with age.
