Time For Your Next Biannual Checkup?

Posted

biannual checkupYour appointments with the dentist make a real difference in your ability to keep yourself safe. Common dental conditions like tooth decay and periodontal disease can occur when you are not keeping up with your smile in the way that you need, and without your routine visits, you might not even know that you are falling short. Most people require a biannual checkup and cleaning twice each year, but some can require an extra level of attention to their oral health. The important thing is to talk to your provider about your schedule and make a point to follow through with your appointments.

At Riverside Dental Group, we understand the value of positive prevention. If you are ready to renew your focus on your oral health, we’re here for it. Keeping your smile clean is a big part of keeping your smile safe, and with your biannual visits, you can experience a fresher smile for both your oral health and a brighter day.

Experiencing A Sleep Disorder?

Posted

sleep disorder riverside caIf you are struggling with your sleep, then it may be time to talk to a trusted oral health team about whether you are experiencing a common sleep disorder. Two of the five most common of these relate to the structures of your head and neck, and when they occur, they can really hold you back. You depend on your rest in order to make it through the day, and if you are tossing and turning all night, it could prevent you from receiving the downtime that you need.

At Riverside Dental Group, we help people to maintain and improve their oral health, and we can help you to understand what is going on. Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition where the tissue of the throat makes contact during sleep, preventing patients from having full and complete breaths during rest. Bruxism is another common oral health-related sleep disorder that happens when you grind your teeth during sleep, and this can cause serious changes to the appearance of your teeth, as well as your ability to keep them safe. To find out more about oral appliance therapy for oral health-related sleep disorders, call us today!

Dental Implants Provide A Strong Connection

Posted

strong connection riverside moreno valley caWhile prosthodontists have been able to create beautiful, lifelike prosthetic teeth for decades, the tough part has always been finding a way to connect them to the jaw. In dental bridges, this is achieved by relying on the teeth on either side of the gap; dentures often use messy adhesives to stay in place. While these are generally effective, there may be times when you would like something a little tougher. Dental implants do that by providing a strong connection directly to the bone tissue within the jaw.

At Riverside Dental Group, we know the value of a quality smile. That’s why we dedicate ourselves to helping people in our community to renew their oral health and appearance after losing one or more of their natural teeth. With dental implants, there is a solution that is available for all type of teeth; this option is even being used in the creation of implant-retained dentures, which can help you to experience the same strong connection in a whole mouth restoration. To find out more about the advantages of dental implants, call our office today!

your gum health riverside caYour smile is not just about your teeth.

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.

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!
