- Fluoride TreatmentThe dire and catastrophic dental situations through ongoing prevention. Routine exams, hygiene appointments, radiographs and fluoride treatments are more likely to be covered at a higher percentage as compared to restorative treatments such as composite fillings, crowns, root canals, and implants. Insurance plans tend to reduce their percentage of coverage on major procedures quite routinely, or will not cover the procedure entirely. Unfortunately, this notion of coverage, leaves individuals mistaking their insurance plan’s “covered procedures” as what would be the best treatment choice for their oral health.

- CrownsAs we eat food, bacteria develop on the surface of our teeth and gums. It is often called plaque. If bacteria are left on the tooth surface long enough, they can also become calcified and hardened, creating a barnacle of infection around your tooth. The tooth-gum connection is very sensitive to any bacteria invasion. When plaque starts to form, our body starts to mount a response by sending inflammatory agents to fight the bacteria. Unfortunately, our tooth-gum connection is very sensitive to this bacteria invasion, and inflammatory agents that are directed to the area. If plaque and calculus are left untreated, the inflammatory agents start to breakdown the tooth-gum connection. It is our body’s attempt to move the healthy tissue away from the growing infection. This means that our bone and gum attachment shrinks away from the crown of the tooth, resulting in reduced tooth attachment. As this process continues, we start to notice symptoms such as loosening teeth, teeth crowding, un-aesthetic dark triangles, bleeding, bad breath, and pain. This disease process is called periodontal disease.
