The Importance of Hygiene Visits
Keeping your teeth as clean as possible is the key to good dental health. However, normal brushing won’t always remove all the plaque, since it likes to cling in hard-to-reach back areas. When plaque hardens into tartar, regular brushing and flossing will no longer be effective. If it accumulates below your gumline, the chances for the development of a bacterial infection increase dramatically, as will your odds for tooth loss and the risk of more serious health issues like diabetes, stroke, and heart problems. Having your teeth cleaned professionally is an integral step in keeping all of your teeth and gums healthy. So have your teeth cleaned on a regular basis and enjoy good health.
Saving Hopeless Teeth
A root canal can rescue a tooth that has impaired or infected roots. It is critical to keep your teeth intact and avoid extraction whenever possible. In the past, root canals gained a reputation for being painful. But with modern advancements and anesthetics, they are now treatable with almost no pain. During the process, the pulp chamber of the tooth is removed and replaced with a specific type of filling compound. Sometimes a crown will be added to provide more strength to the remaining tooth structure. We are well versed in root canal therapy and saving a tooth from extraction.
Senior Dental Care is Different
Your teeth and gums change over time, just as your body does. We are attentive to the dental concerns of seniors. Plaque may build up on the surface of teeth and lead to decay. Fillings may weaken and need to be replaced before cavities set in under fillings and go unnoticed until roots are affected. We check for gum infection and always alert our patients to the signs of this problem – red, swollen, or bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, and loose teeth. After years of caffeine and tobacco consumption, teeth lose their brilliance and need professional whitening to regain their original luster. Some medications reduce the necessary flow of saliva through the mouth, and we have products that will alleviate this problem. We emphasize good nutrition, daily hygiene, and regular check-ups to help your smile stay healthy and keep your natural teeth for a lifetime
