You should see a dentist that is going to meet all of your needs. No matter if you need cosmetic, restorative, preventative, or emergency dentistry, here are 5 reasons you should make an appointment to come see Dr. Bockrath here at Mountain Aire Dentistry.  

1.You’re in Pain 

While we think you should visit our office on a regular basis for routine cleanings and checkups, we understand that you cannot always plan when you will need to visit the dentist. If you experience a dental emergency or have severe pain, you may feel uncertain about what you should do. In the case of an emergency situation, we encourage you to call Dr. Bockrath and our team as soon as you can. We are pleased to provide emergency dentistry so you have a solution for all of your dental needs, at any time. We are happy to provide care for a number of dental emergencies, including:

• Chipped or broken teeth
• Knocked-out teeth
• Cracked or fractured teeth
• Partially knocked-out (extruded) teeth
• Lost or damaged dental restorations (such as a filling or crown)
• An object stuck between the teeth that does not come loose with gentle flossing
• A severe, lasting toothache or tooth pain
• Injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth (such as a the gums, lips, cheeks, or tongue)

It’s important to note that if you have experienced trauma to the head or neck, we recommend that you go to your primary care physician or the emergency room before calling your dentist, even if your smile has also been injured. For more information on what to do in the case of a dental emergency in Broomfield, Colorado, we urge you to call us today at Mountain Aire Dentistry.

2.Preventative Dentistry 

No matter how healthy you are, you still need dental checkups. There are many parts of your mouth that you can’t see on your own, and these areas could have underlying problems that you don’t know about. According to Colgate, preventative dentistry is oral care that involves education, treatment, and practice of maintaining your teeth and gums. A dental exam itself is a form of preventative dentistry, along with cleanings, cavity prevention, and more. It’s far less expensive and easier to stop problems from occurring rather than treat them as they become more severe and noticeable. That’s why we love preventative dentistry! 

3.For a Deep Cleaning 

If you brush and floss like you should, you might ask yourself if a deep cleaning trip to the dentist is really worth it, but it is! The purpose of deep cleaning is to remove bacteria from your teeth and gums. Removing this bacteria slows down the gingivitis and gum disease process that could be starting in your mouth. TODAY explains that a deep cleaning removes plaque below the gum line and smooths rough spots on the tooth root, which makes it harder for bacteria to accumulate. 

4.Cancer Prevention 

Another good reason to make a visit to see Dr. Bockrath is for cancer prevention. Did you know that 1 in 4 people diagnosed with oral cancer have no risk factors? This is why it’s important to see your dentist often for frequent screenings. Oral cancer screenings are a routine part of each checkup to make sure your mouth is free of any lesions or other concerns. While it is extremely rare, oral cancer can progress extremely quickly and can be deadly. Early detection is important! 

5.Stop Bad Habits 

If you have bad habits, seeing Dr. Bockrath can help you stop them in their tracks. If you’re not brushing or flossing enough, or properly, Dr. Bockrath and our team can teach you the right techniques. Further, we can discuss what other bad habits could be contributing to your poor oral health. These bad habits can include: drinking acidic drinks, eating sticky hard candies, consuming too much sugar, using your teeth to open packages, and more. Further, you could have habits that you don’t know are bad — but a dentist does! Protect your teeth from yourself by seeing Dr. Bockrath.
