“I love my teeth and my smile. The work was done very softly and pleasant, and Dr. Gross and his team really cared and even worked on “odd” hours as I was a bit pushed for time leaving USA for Europe. Thank you Dr. Gross – Thank you Renee and the rest of the team – You are great!”

Early Caries Detection
Miami, Florida
SmilePerfect, with four offices in South Florida, provides the very latest in advanced dental treatments. Finding and treating cavities early helps to minimize decay and reduces cost and time spent. Your smile will remain beautiful for longer – not to mention reduced time in the dentist’s chair!
Tooth decay is a common childhood problem, and common in adulthood too, although less so. By the time they reach the age of five, 75% of Americans have their first cavity. Overall, about 90% of Americans have at least one cavity.
Cavities can be caused by:
- Eating starchy and sugary foods
- Failing to brush and floss every day
- Lack of fluoridated water
- Numerous dental restorations
When Dental Checkups are Neglected
Most cavities – about 80% – occur in the biting surfaces of our teeth. At first they are tiny and will remain undetected if dental checkups are not done at least once a year, preferably twice. If checkups are infrequent, decay may not be discovered until it has spread, destroying more tooth tissue. In some cases, it’s a toothache which alerts you to it –it has now reached the tooth’s nerve deep in the tooth. Treatment can become expensive and prolonged.
Early signs of tooth decay:
- Pain upon chewing
- Bite changes when chewing
- Constant bad breath
- Constant bad taste
- Pain when eating hot or cold foods
- Red, puffy or bleeding gums
If you have any of these signs, please call our office and make an appointment to see your SmilePerfect dentist as soon as possible. Early detection and treatment will help you to avoid losing the tooth completely.
Another excellent check which we offer you is an oral cancer screening.
