By teaching your child proper habits to take care of their teeth at an early age, they can enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles! Beginning with the eruption of their first baby tooth, kids are as susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease as their parents. This means that by bringing them to regular dental checkups, we can clean their little teeth and help you teach them brushing and flossing techniques to practice at home. When your child accommodates to visiting the dentist every six months, they know to take care of their grins to show off their good behavior!

At your Riverside, CA dental practice, we provide smile care for every member of your family. By introducing ourselves to your children, we can help them become comfortable with regular cleanings and checkups. These regular meetings allow us to create a dental record and detect when any problems arise with their growth and development.

Maintaining a healthy smile means preventing decay and disease from eroding your teeth and gums. By practicing daily oral hygiene and visiting your dentist at least twice per year, you remove plaque deposits that can harm your smile. While this strategy is necessary to prevent oral problems, from time to time you can still receive a cavity in one of your teeth. But when you visit your dentist regularly, you can often catch it early in its development when they are easier to remove and repair.

Removing Your Tooth Infection

When you wake up with a serious toothache, you should let us know right away. If the pain will not subside on its own after a day, it could indicate an infection of the inner pulp chamber. This can occur when oral bacteria enter through a break in the enamel surface layer from physical injury or tooth decay. Left untreated, the infection risks spreading to other parts of your body, so prompt removal can prevent your health from becoming worse. Fortunately, we can remove the infection and place a restoration to return the protection of a fully sealed outer layer.

At your Corona, CA dental practice, we provide emergency dental services outside of your standard checkups and cleanings. When dental pain strikes, you require treatment right away to provide relief and protect your oral health.

Treatment For Your Gum Disease

When it comes to taking care of your oral health, preserving your gums and protecting your teeth is vital. These tissues provide a connective seal between your teeth and jawbone to secure your smile in place and protect the bone from bacterial threats. When your gum health diminishes, you can eventually lose teeth as they no longer remain stable. When an infection of the gums reaches your bone, it becomes permanent and must be treated for the rest of your life to protect your smile. By alerting your dentist to the first signs of gum problems, you may detect it in its first stage and lead to a reversal of damage.

At your Moreno Valley, CA dental practice, we service all aspects of your smile, including the health of your gums. At each of your dental checkups, we inspect the health of these tissues to see that they are free from disease. By regularly cleaning your teeth, we remove plaque deposits that can cause an infection. If we do detect a problem at these meetings, we will provide instructions on caring for your disease and reversing it when possible.

The goal of oral hygiene is to preserve a healthy smile by preventing tooth decay and gum disease. When you stay on top of your daily brushing and flossing habits, you regularly remove plaque deposits that contribute to both smile threats. While these daily practices are critical to preventing decay, you may still experience a cavity from time to time. Therefore, it is important to visit your dentist regularly to examine your smile and provide additional cleaning. By examining your smile regularly, we are more likely to detect decay early in its development when more conservative treatments are appropriate.

At your Corona, CA dental practice,  we provide routine cleanings and exams to both prevent and treat cavities and other oral health problems.

Treatment For Your Tooth Infection

Posted

Do you have a sudden pain in one of your teeth that will not subside on its own? Please do not ignore this symptom, as it could be a sign of a serious infection. By scheduling a prompt appointment with your dentist, we can inspect the source of your discomfort and determine if the bacterial infection is the culprit. Because infections can spread from your tooth to other parts of the body, a timely removal can preserve your health while relieving you from this pain. To get to the inner chamber of your tooth, oral bacteria must bypass the protective surface layer of your enamel, so we could also perform a repair to return the seal around your problem tooth.

At your Moreno Valley, CA dental practice, we take tooth infections seriously. When you come into our practice for an emergency appointment, we will help treat your discomfort during the same visit. This can mean performing a root canal therapy to remove bacteria within your tooth and ease your inflammatory response. Following your treatment, we will discuss placing a restoration to protect your tooth in the future.
