Dr. Carolyn Crowell, Avon, OH Pediatric Dentist, Honors National Dental Hygiene Month, Now Accepts New Patients with Tooth Decay
Avon, OH (PRWEB) October 28, 2016 -- In celebration of Dental Hygiene Month during October, pediatric dentist Dr. Carolyn Crowell and her dental team are educating their patients on the benefits of treating tooth decay with silver diamine fluoride (SDF). Dr. Crowell and her team are making this preventative treatment more available by now accepting new patients for treatment without the need of a referral. Research shows that SDF can effectively halt the development of dental caries, protecting patients from various harmful side effects. This treatment also provides a highly convenient, cost-effective option for children who suffer from tooth decay in Avon, OH.
With SDF, Dr. Crowell and her colleagues, Drs. Maria Ramirez and Charissa McCune can often eliminate the need for other cavity treatments. SDF treats bacteria and prevents new bacteria from growing at the application site. This type of fluoride also strengthens the surface of the teeth, which makes it highly effective at inhibiting future caries growth. In one study published in the Journal of Dental Research, researchers found that applying SDF to caries directly was just as effective as applying it after cavity removal. In the same study, SDF proved more effective at halting cavity growth than sodium fluoride.
Dr. Crowell is a highly trained, experienced pediatric dentist who is committed to providing compassionate care, and she is proud to offer patients an alternative to conventional cavity removal. SDF treatments spare children from unnecessary discomfort or distress, since the solution is applied topically. Children also face a low risk of infection as a result of the minimally-invasive nature of this treatment. Furthermore, this approach to treating tooth decay in Avon, OH, is effective at preventing a number of serious complications that cavities can cause, including breaking of the teeth, bite misalignment, potentially dangerous abscesses and tooth loss.
