Did you know that having healthy teeth is an important element to maintaining good health? The dentists and dental hygienists at Bluestem Health Dental in Lincoln, Nebraska work to provide high-quality general dentistry and preventive care to reduce the risk of individuals getting tooth decay or dental diseases. Patients receive complete dental checkups along with patient education to help protect and preserve the health of their teeth and gums as they age.

WHY DO ADULTS NEED REGULAR DENTAL CHECKUPS

Some of the most common diseases that impact oral health include tooth decay (cavities), gum disease, and oral cancer, according to the Centers for Disease Control, and early diagnosis of these issues is important. Sometimes patients are made aware of a dental issue during a routine primary care visit at Bluestem Health in Lincoln. One of our family medicine providers may discover, through a routine exam, that an illness may be directly related to the individual’s teeth and will refer them to our dental clinic for further evaluation and treatment. That is one of the unique benefits patients have with Bluestem Health’s integrated healthcare services. The family provider and dentist are in direct communication about your health.

YOUR CHILD’S DENTAL HEALTH IS VERY IMPORTANT

It is recommended that the first visit to a dentist should begin when a toddler gets their first teeth or celebrates their first birthday. Over 40% of children will be affected by tooth decay before the age of five, and more than half will have cavities by the time they reach 2nd grade. Regular dental visits help your child stay cavity free. Good oral health is essential to a child’s behavioral, speech, language, and overall growth and development.

The Bluestem Health Dental team takes the time to educate parents about the importance of regular oral hygiene and types of foods to watch out for that can be harmful to teeth. Some topics we cover include staying with a low sugar diet, no sippy cup or bottle to bed, and the frequency of snacking, drinking fluoridated tap water, and limiting juices only to meal time.
