Uplift Your Gum Health!

Posted

your gum health riverside caYour smile is not just about your teeth. While we know that they are the stars of the show, there is more to your mouth, and you need to keep an eye on all aspects of your oral health. Your gum health, in particular is something to watch. Sticking to a strict schedule of cleanings and examinations is a big part of your efforts, so if you have been avoiding your biannual checkups, it is time to make a change.

With our team of periodontal professionals at Riverside Dental Group, you can take positive steps in maintaining and improving your oral health through consistent preventive care. If you have started to see a change in your gumline, it could be a sign of recession, and that warrants a trip to your dentist for a discussion. Bleeding when brushing is another common sign of periodontal disease or gingivitis, so when something feels off, schedule an appointment at our office!

Invisalign®: The Clear Advantage

Posted

Invisalign® riverside caWhen your smile is out of balance, it can create some real problems, both for your appearance and your oral health. You depend on proper spacing in order to properly brush and floss all surfaces of your teeth, and when overlapping or crowding occurs, plaque and tartar can start to accumulate unchecked. You could also struggle with your look, as your smile plays a big role in giving off the right impression. Invisalign® can help in a more private, comfortable solution.

That’s why we are thrilled to offer clear aligner therapy from Invisalign® at Riverside Dental Group. With convenient locations across the Inland Empire, we can help you to experience a better, straighter smile, all without the need for brackets and wires. Clear aligner therapy takes a different approach, instead using nearly invisible aligner trays that gently (yet effectively) adjust the location of your teeth. Simply pop in your simple aligner trays and start to work on improving your smile. To find out more, call our front desk today!

Tooth Pain? Time For An Exam

Posted

tooth pain riverside caIf you have started to experience pain or discomfort within one of your teeth, it could be a sign that in infection has set in. This can happen when the external enamel is damaged due to tooth decay or damage, leaving your vulnerable pulp at risk. The danger only increases with time, so it is important to talk to your dentist as quickly as you discover the damage. Tooth pain is a sign that you should see your dentist, and letting things wait can lead to further deterioration.

At Riverside Dental Group, we know the importance of restoration after you break or crack a tooth. Your natural enamel is the hardest material in your body, but it is not impervious to cracks or breaks, and even the smallest opening can allow bacteria into your tooth. When tooth pain starts to happen, it can be a sign that bacterial growth has reached the nerve, and a root canal is the most common form of treatment to help keep the location intact. To find out more or to schedule an appointment for an examination, call our office today!
