CHECKUPS & CLEANINGS Regular checkups and cleanings prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Young children are not able to clean their own teeth. As a parent, you must do it for them when they are very young and do it with them, as they get older. DENTAL BRIDGES A bridge, also called a “fixed bridge” or a “fixed dental prosthesis,” is a dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It extends across an area that has no teeth and is typically made up of an artificial tooth fused between 2 crowns. FILLINGS When you go for a dental exam, your dentist checks your fillings and may suggest that you replace any loose or broken ones. Your dentist also looks for signs of decay, such as brown or black spots and may want to use X-rays to take a closer look at problem spots.
