Preventive examinations, professional cleanings, and tailored preventive procedures are the foundation for retaining the good oral health so tied to good quality of life. Generally, it is recommended that checkups be scheduled every 6 months. However, Dr. Rina Kotecha may recommend visits more frequently to Dentistry on 10.

For instance, should you have a history of gum disease it may be necessary for Dr. Kotecha to evaluate how well your mouth is healing following deep cleanings, scaling and root planing, or even home care methods such as recommended brushing or flossing techniques and at-home periodontal trays. Gum disease is a highly preventable condition. You can even reverse its effects if caught in its earlier stages known as gingivitis.

There are specific threats to even the littlest patients’ good oral health. For example, parents may put infants to bed with bottles full of fruit juice. However, many fruit juices contain very little actual fruit and are very sugary. This habit can result in early childhood caries. When children develop early tooth decay and tooth loss it can affect every corner of their lives and have lingering effects that last well into adulthood.

With dental visits starting before baby’s first birthday or when the first tooth erupts, you can establish healthy habits. Dr. Kotecha will share oral hygiene techniques with you, and make suggestions for how to prevent early damage to teeth such as foods and drinks to avoid.

Even when you have had no problems with your teeth throughout your youth and into your adulthood, the state of your oral health can change with age. Senior patients may be at greater risk of medical conditions that cause dry mouth. Since saliva is a natural cleanser, a decrease in its production can have detrimental effects on the health of the teeth and gums.

Other problems that can be spotted early during ongoing checkups and cleanings include:

  • Worn or poorly-fitting restorations such as crowns, which can allow bacteria to seep into the tooth
  • Decreased saliva production caused by medications used to treat chronic conditions
  • The acceleration of gum disease symptoms associated with diseases such as diabetes
  • Bleeding gums brought on by hormonal changes among women entering menopause

Procedure – Gum Disease Testimonial

Hi, my name is Naren. I have been coming to dentistry on 10 for at least five years, probably a lot longer than that. I first heard about Doctor Rena, through a friend of mine who was my roommate back in college and the, the, thing that attracted me to her right off the bat is she went to Harvard of course, you know Harvard is one of the top schools in the world, so you know studying at Harvard and Learning dentistry Harvard, I’ve never met anybody who went to Harvard, so that was the number one thing. But when I came here, it’s not the Harvard that I ended up staying here for. It’s because she’s a very caring person and she has a team that really is caring. So, for example, you know I, I, have some health conditions and you know taking care of my gums is really, really, important and I’m like not that good at taking care of myself. So you know she just, just, stuck with me, just kept at me and, you know, just taught me things and talk to me about things and you know. And when I did, you know, kind of mess up and you know, get gum disease again. You know she you know, stuck with me. So, like for me personally, I know people come for dentistry for lots of reasons, some people you know, care about their smile and things like that. For me personally, it’s the health because I have a history of health issues in my family and I know the importance of, you know, taking care of your gums and you overall mouth and health so I would strongly recommend Doctor Rena if you really care about your health. If you really want somebody who’s not just trying to, you know, give you things you don’t need, but really, who’s trying to focus on what’s good for you, helping you achieve your goals. She’s very caring, very, very patient, very, very, gentle and, and, she’s there for you. So, it’s almost like having a partner in health who’s working with you to make your life better. So, we all need it, and especially as we get older when we are in our 40s and 50s, we need to take care of our health and without doctor Rena I don’t think I would have the comes I have and I don’t think I would be working on my health. Thank you very much Doctor Rena and I would, absolutely without a hesitation, recommend anybody and my entire family comes here as well as my two kids and My wife. So, thank you for being an amazing dentist and thank you for caring about people who live in the neighbourhood and their health.
