Keep Track Of Your Oral Health

oral health riverside caDuring your lifetime, you need to keep a close eye on the health of your smile. This means sticking to your schedule of biannual checkups, never going more than six months without speaking to your dentist about the level of your oral health. These visits also help you to experience a fresher smile with a dedicated cleaning of the surfaces of your teeth and along your gumline. When you wait, you put yourself at risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and a range of other common dental concerns, so these trips are essential in keeping your smile safe as you age.

At Riverside Dental Group, we understand that your dental checkups are not just your chance to check in with a trusted oral health professional. They can also be your jumping off point toward a better, brighter smile. If you have been thinking about making a change, talk to your dentist before you try to do anything on your own.

Posted

As the weather starts to cool off a little bit, you might have a little more free time, especially if your kids have gone back to school. If you suddenly find yourself with some extra space in your schedule, use it in a proactive and healthy way by scheduling your next biannual checkup at the dentist.

Here at Riverside Dental Group, we understand the value of preventive dental care. That’s why we give you helpful reminders to keep up with your biannual checkups, and we mean it when we say that these are important. When you wait to visit the dentist, your oral health responsibility is yours alone, and that can spell some real problems for you and your smile.

Experience An Invisalign® Smile

Posted

Invisalign® riverside caWhen you look in the mirror, do you wish that you could see a more attractive smile in the mirror? For many people, alignment issues are a daily struggle, yet they avoid treatment due to the intrusion of traditional orthodontics, particularly bracketed braces. If this sounds like you, talk to your dentist about whether there is a different, more innovative way. Invisalign® helps in a different way than traditional braces, using a progressive set of clear aligners to shift the location of teeth rather than brackets and wires.

At our Riverside Dental Group locations, we offer clear aligner therapy in order to help our patients experience the smile that they deserve in a quieter, less intrusive way. Rather than relying on braces, we can help you to gently (yet effectively) shift the location of your teeth along your oral ridge without sharing your secret with the rest of the world. Simply wear your clear aligners throughout the day and start to work on your treatment. As you reach nearer to your smile goals, swap out your aligner trays for a new set and carry on with your care!

Focusing On Your Gum Health

Posted

gum health riverside caYour smile is about more than just your teeth, and if you have only been focusing on them, then it is time to think about making some changes. Without strong and healthy gums, you could have a tough time keeping your smile at the level that you need. Plaque and tartar accumulation can happen at and even beneath your gumline, leading to inflammation and infection that can really put you at risk. Periodontal disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss, so it is vital to keep up with your gum health at all times.

Here at Riverside Dental Group, we help people to maintain and improve their smiles with effective dentistry from a trusted team. If you have started to notice redness or swelling along your gumline, then make an effort and schedule an appointment with our team. We can help you to understand what is going on within your mouth, as well as ways to improve your gum health through consistent maintenance and potentially, some additional periodontal services. To find out more, give us a call today!
