Is your smile as white as you would like? If recent photographs of your grin show a much brighter appearance, you may benefit from a professional treatment to brighten your teeth. While daily oral hygiene is vital to preventing tooth decay and other threats, surface stains and discoloration can even appear in otherwise completely healthy teeth. Fortunately, a whitening session can lift dark pigments from your enamel using a professional strength solution to return your beautifully natural look.

At your Temecula, CA dental practice, we offer several cosmetic services to help you realize your smile goals. Because you may not know exactly how close you are to receiving the smile of your dreams, we enjoy providing consults to help you identify which service is best for your condition.

Maintaining a healthy smile is a priority that begins as soon as your first tooth appears! By introducing your children to regular dental visits, they learn the importance of caring for their teeth while becoming comfortable receiving professional treatment.

At your Corona, CA dental practice, we would like to perform your child’s first dental exam whenever their first baby tooth erupts or by their first birthday.

A preventive attitude towards your oral health can help maintain a robust, beautiful smile throughout your life. By practicing behaviors that stop tooth decay in its tracks, you can avoid more costly restorative procedures down the line. To best protect your teeth, combine your daily brushing and flossing routine with regular visits to your dentist for cleanings and exams. Receiving a semiannual cleaning allows your hygienist to remove plaque and tartar deposits that you cannot handle on your own. Additionally, your examination can uncover any changes in the status of your mouth and provide interventive treatment before problems grow in stature.

At your Moreno Valley, CA dental practice, we encourage you to make an appointment at least twice per year to clean and inspect your smile. Because our main goal is preserving the health of your natural teeth, regular cleanings help you keep your enamel intact. Conversely, waiting for a painful ache or another symptom to schedule a visit can mean you are far along in the decay process. (more…)

If you wake up each morning with constant pain in one of your teeth, you should not ignore this potentially dangerous symptom. Rather let your dentist know so we may inspect your tooth for the cause. A consistent ache could be a sign of infected pulp tissue, that left untreated, could spread beyond the confines of your tooth. Because tooth infections result from breaks or cracks in the enamel of your tooth, you may also feel damage on the surface of the affected area. We can repair this damage as well to help you seal the insides of your tooth and maintain it in your mouth.

At your Riverside, CA dental practice, we provide swift service when responding to any injury in your mouth. When you experience the acheful signs of an infected tooth, we could perform a root canal therapy to clean your tooth’s chamber and clear bacterial buildup. In treating your pain, we will also repair your tooth to prevent future infections from restarting the process. (more…)

A comprehensive approach to oral health requires maintaining your gums in addition to your teeth. These tissues provide a crucial seal between your teeth and jawbone that prevents oral bacteria from entering and infecting your body. The connective role of your gums secures your teeth in place, but when you develop gum disease, this connection is threatened. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss among adults, so by taking time to care for your gums, you can prevent missing teeth.

At your Riverside, CA dental practice, we inspect the health of your gums at each of your routine checkups. When you visit our office regularly, we remove plaque that causes irritation and can detect any infections when they begin. Remember that gingivitis, the first stage of gum disease is potentially reversible. Therefore, do not skip any of your meetings less you risk a permanent gum infection.

Orthodontic Care For Your Teeth

When you begin deciding to fix problems with the spacing of your teeth, there are multiple options for orthodontic correction. Knowing the benefits of each solution can help you narrow down which treatment is best for your condition and lead to a pleasing outcome. Depending upon the extent of your malocclusion or other factors such as your age, you may greatly prefer one over the other. For instance, traditional metal braces have the most force to move teeth teeth into a desired position and thus can help correct complex tooth issues. On the other hand, you may find clear aligners much more esthetically pleasing during your treatment period.

At your Temecula, CA dental practice, we can help you straighten your smile whether you are a teen or a grandparent! When you discuss your options for orthodontic care with a member of our team, we can help lead you to the treatment that works best for you. Our practice places both traditional braces and clear aligners from Invisalign to provide healthier smiles that are easy on the eye!

A Treatment For Your Tooth Infection

Posted

Whenever you experience consistent pain in one of your teeth that will not go away after a day, you should report this symptom to your dentist. Ignoring this problem could potentially lead to worsening health outcomes as an ongoing toothache may indicate an infection within your tooth’s pulp. Left untreated, the infection risks spreading to other parts of your body and entering your bloodstream. This condition occurs when oral bacteria breach a tooth’s surface and gain access to the inner chamber. This break in your enamel could be caused by severe decay or physical injury and should be examined by your dentist to stop additional damage.

At your Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we encourage you to call us at once when you feel the symptoms of a potential infection. We can examine your problem tooth and recommend a root canal therapy to remove bacterial deposits and treat your pain.
