Most dental treatment is routine. Sometimes a health condition can influence the way dental care is provided. For example:

If planned dental procedures involve bleeding, your dentist wants to know that the blood will clot normally. Many conditions can affect blood clotting, such as liver disease. Medications, including aspirin and even some herbal preparations, can also interfere with normal blood clotting. Some conditions like diabetes, and some medications like steroids, reduce the effectiveness of the immune system. Some patients need to take preventive antibiotics before certain dental procedures. For example, patients with an artificial heart valve may need to take an antibiotic to help prevent a serious infection. Your dentist needs to know about your past and current health conditions. This means that your dentist must take an initial complete medical history and keep it up-to-date by checking with you on a regular basis.

This information allows your dentist to identify the type and severity of certain underlying medical conditions. Your dentist may also determine possible adverse drug interactions. Your dentist may also identify potential problems from the use of non-prescription drugs, such as an increased bleeding time with the use of Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) or some herbal supplements.

There's no getting around the need to get around your teeth daily with dental floss. It clears food and plaque from between teeth and under the gumline. If you don't, plaque hardens into tartar, which forms wedges and widens the space between teeth and gums, causing pockets. Over time, gums pull away and teeth loosen.

Either waxed or unwaxed floss will do the job. Using floss picks or interdental brushes is another easy option.

Visit a dentist if you have any of these issues or see your child having trouble chewing or complaining of soreness:

• Mouth sores
• Jaw pain
• Redness
• Swollen face or gums
• Tooth sensitivity
• Broken teeth
• Dry mouth
• Bleeding gums
• Bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth

Getting checked out right away prevents more serious problems and infections.
