In yesterday’s blog, we talked about how professional teeth whitening can erase stains from your tooth’s surface and enhance your appearance. Unfortunately, though, this solution does not help patients with intrinsic discoloration. To help camouflage these kinds of blemishes, Riverside Dental Group in California offers bonding and contouring services.
Improve Your Appearance With Professional Teeth Whitening
Your smile is one of your most prominent features, so of course you want it to look nice. If you are a daily coffee drinker, you may notice that your pearly whites are no longer as bright. Coffee is not the only culprit of this. Other popular beverages like tea and soda, and even some foods, can cause discoloration to your enamel. If you want to erase these stains, Riverside Dental Group in California offers at-home or in-office teeth whitening treatments.
Let’s Talk About Gum Disease
When it comes to your oral hygiene, there are more concerns than just keeping your pearly whites healthy. Your gums are an important factor, too. Although the current generation of older adults today are keeping more of their teeth than the previous population, tooth loss is still a major concern. Periodontal disease is one of the leading causes for this problem. Riverside Dental Group in California offers cleanings and exams to help prevent this and other problems, as well as periodontal cleanings to help patients manage gum disease.
Mouthguards Can Protect Your Smile
In a recent blog, we discussed how an oral appliance can be used to protect your teeth from bruxism. This retainer-like device is made to shield your teeth from grinding against each other. At Riverside Dental Group in California, we offer several types of guards that can keep your pearly whites safe. For example, patients who play contact sports may benefit from pro-form mouthguards.
A Simple Solution For Bruxism
In yesterday’s blog, we discussed how TMJ disorder can be diagnosed and treated. This jaw disorder is often found in patients who have bruxism as well.

TMJ disorder happens you exert too much pressure on your facial joints. This problem may happen while you are unaware and can lead to discomfort, pain, and even dental problems.
