At Sood Family Dental, your dentist and her caring team provide comprehensive oral health care for people of all ages. Dr. Shikha Sood wants your oral health to thrive. As such, review the following five reasons to see your dentist in her Shelby Township, MI, office.
 

Dentistry is about prevention, restoration, and personal appearance

Dental practices such as Sood Family Dental offer services catering to each aspect of oral health care. Here are five signs it's time to stop into our Shelby Township, MI, office for a consultation with your dentist:
 

1. It's been six months since your last cleaning and check-up. Preventive care avoids more complex oral and systemic health problems down the road. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that each person--from toddlers with new teeth to senior adults--see their dentists semi-annually--more often if a periodontal disease or a systemic health problem threatens your smile.

2. You have dental pain. A throbbing toothache, dental sensitivity to heat or cold, and sore, puffy gum tissue are symptoms of a larger problem. The sooner you see your dentist in her Shelby Township, MI, office, the sooner you'll get relief, and you may avoid more extensive and costly treatments.

3. You have a sore or a lump which will not resolve. Most lesions and swellings are harmless. However, some are oral cancer, a deadly malignancy that impacts more than 50,000 people in the US every year, says the American Cancer Society. If you check-in with Dr. Sood at the first signs of a problem, your chances of an effective cure greatly increase.

4. You have a broken tooth, denture, or crown. Dr. Sood can repair that fracture and get you smiling (and chewing) again quickly. Never ignore a fractured tooth as dental abscess and infection could ensue. We offer quick and accurate emergency dental treatment in Shelby Township, MI.

5. You want to improve your smile appearance. Don't hide your smile because of some cosmetic problems. At Sood Family Dental, your dentist offers easy and effective teeth whitening, tooth replacement with state of the art dental implants and so much more.
