What is Comprehensive Dental Care?
The definition of comprehensive dentistry is a concept that includes not only traditional treatment of dental disease but also the prevention and early detection. Dr. Michael Youssef offers comprehensive dental care that takes into consideration all of the points of maintaining good oral health and minimizing the risk factors that can cause problems to it. It also includes the restoration, repair of teeth and most of the oral cavity that has already been damaged due to aging or some accidental injury.
Why Do Adults Lose Their teeth?
Oral health issues are something that everyone fears yet few people take seriously. If you fail to keep up proper oral hygiene and to visit the dentist’s office at regular intervals you may lose your teeth prematurely. A dental appointment with the downtown dentist, Dr. Michael Youssef, is not too heavy on your pocket and you will never feel intimidated by our dental procedures and treatments. We take great care of our patients.
What you can’t see can hurt you! There are a lot of oral diseases that don’t show up at once, so people tend to ignore the minor symptoms. Diseases like tooth decay, gingivitis, and periodontitis affect the oral cavity slowly, and the symptoms remain hidden until it’s too late. To prevent such diseases from damaging your gums and teeth, everyone must have regular dental appointments. In addition, a comprehensive oral exam is recommended by Dr. Michael Youssef at least once every three years.

What Is Tooth Decay?
There are many different kinds of bacteria that live in your mouth and can cause tooth decay. Bacterial accumulation is associated with the food we eat. Every time you eat something, the bacteria in your mouth get nutrition and start growing again. If you consume tobacco, soda, coffee, and alcohol the problem is made worse. This explains why people who don’t have a proper oral hygiene habit and don’t get their teeth cleaned every six months are more susceptible to dental decay.
Sometimes dental decay can also be caused due to medication like vitamin supplements, cough syrups, and antacids. These medicines can cause dental decay due to the sugar content in them. Dr. Michael Youssef is a downtown Montreal dentist that practices comprehensive dental care has years of clinical experience helping people keep their teeth and treating those who have lost teeth due to tooth decay. If you have lost a tooth or are experiencing tooth pain and discomfort, book an emergency dental appointment today.
What Causes Bleeding Gums? Gum Diseases!
If your gums are bleeding and you have not have an accident, it is probably due to Gum disease. Gum diseases are the most common oral health problems. Lack of proper oral hygiene leads to plaque accumulation in spaces between the teeth, where cleaning is hard and can be easily neglected. The plaque contains bacteria that can harm the gingival gum tissue. If bacteria infect the gingival tissue, it leads to the formation of pockets in gums around the teeth. These pockets provide more space to shelter the bacteria which now have access to the more delicate parts of the teeth and gums. The bacterial infection under these spaces is called periodontitis. Gum diseases cause gum recession, and the teeth look abnormally longer. Through comprehensive dentistry, Dr. Michael Youssef can diagnose the gum disease symptoms you are experiencing and recommend treatment to prevent further damage to your gums due to periodontitis.
