Not only has the equipment, products and services changed but so has the manner in which we provide dental treatment,” says Dr. Vineet Bhandari. The Oakville dentist explains that there has been a complete paradigm shift from reactive to preventative dentistry. Reactive dentistry deals with treating according to a patient's symptoms, usually when a disease process is quite far along or advanced. Treating dental disease in this fashion provides poor outcomes for the patient, sometimes resulting in tooth loss or further deterioration of the oral cavity. “Currently dentistry is very much prevention oriented. This means that instead of reacting to a problem or disease when it is far advanced, the dental treatment we provide is aimed to prevent dental problems and disease before they start or at least before they have a chance to cause irreversible damage. With the prevention oriented model of care comes better outcomes - ultimately prevention of disease 2525 Old Bronte Rd.

Regular dental appointments every three, four or six months are an opportunity for your dentist and dental hygienist to examine your oral cavity for early signs of disease. If disease is detected early, it can be treated before it takes hold and causes harm. It’s possible to reverse some oral diseases with professional care. While most dental visits are for regular checkups and necessary treatments, sometimes a dental emergency occurs that requires immediate attention. Bhandari Dental offers same day emergency dental services. “Our commitment to area residents is that they will be seen the same day to assess dental concerns or emergencies, so they do not remain in discomfort. Our team at Bhandari Dental believes no one should be left in pain for any period of time,” says Dr. Bhandari. To arrange an appointment or to take care of a dental emergency, call during office hours. Bhandari Dental hours are updated regularly on the website. ® i a g 3 Z a & 2 B 3 g z 8 8 woo-uoyeyepisul
