Dental X-rays are used to detect dental problems that may not be visible from an intraoral examination. This includes tooth decay and pathology of the surrounding bone structures. Dental X-rays are also used for the diagnosis of periodontal (gum) disease.
Regular X-rays are recommended for preventive dental care at six months to one year intervals depending on individual’s needs.
Fluoride is a mineral that offers effective prevention against tooth decay caused by bacteria, and it is also helpful for reducing tooth sensitivity. It achieves this via these mechanisms: 1) Reduce demineralization of enamel 2) Increase remineralization of enamel 3) Inhibits bacterial metabolism 4) Occluding dentinal tubules (need to fact check haha) Fluoride can be delivered via a variety of methods, and in Singapore, it is found in our tap water, toothpastes and mouth rinses at safe concentrations. Fluoride gel and varnishes are also available to be applied professionally by dentists to aid in prevention of tooth decay and as a treatment for tooth sensitivity. This is recommended especially for patients with high risk of dental decay, or patients with sensitive teeth.
