How to prevent a dental crisis

All too often, patients do not see their dentists regularly. Instead, many people in the Chesapeake area figure if they don’t have tooth pain or other noticeable problems it is safe and economical to skip regular preventative care visits. However, “crisis” dental visits often end up costing patients significantly more money and time away from work than if they had kept with their preventative care visits.

At Signature Smiles, we know that many dental problems do not have noticeable symptoms until they become serious issues. Small and painless cavities can take 3-4 years before they become painful. By then, you likely will need a root canal and crown to stop the decay. By seeing Dr. Moreno routinely instead, she can detect small cavities and use fillings to stop further damage.
