Choosing A Less Noticeable Orthodontic Appliance
If you are ready to do something about your poorly aligned smile, you should know that you may be able to count on something other than traditional metal braces to change the positions of teeth. While traditional orthodontic appliances offer important improvements, and while they can sometimes be necessary for more severe issues with malocclusion, people often qualify for treatment with more discreet appliances. At our Temecula, CA dentist’s office, we can offer orthodontic services that rely on clear Invisalign aligners. These appliances are removable as well as difficult to see, making them popular with people who have concerns about life with braces. In cases where fixed aligners are recommended, we can discuss less conspicuous alternatives to traditional appliances. (more…)
Protect Your Kids From Cavities This Holiday Season
While few families have the exact same holiday plans, it is likely that your family will enjoy a few of your favorite seasonal treats, and can also enjoy a welcome break from work and school. While these are certainly all enjoyable, the things we do to celebrate around the holidays can sometimes make us more vulnerable to cavities. Children can be at higher risk for tooth decay at this time because, simply put, they tend to have less restraint when it comes to sugary foods and drinks. If you want to make sure that your kids make it through the holiday season without cavities, good guidance and support for their oral health routine can help. Our Corona, CA dentist’s office is here to help, too – we can provide routine pediatric dental exams, and we can encourage kids to practice better oral hygiene habits at home. (more…)

How Can I Alleviate Problems With Jaw Pain And Stiffness?

Oral appliance therapy can reduce tension, positively change your bite movement, and put a stop to your pain!
