How Flossing Prevents Gingivitis

Man flossing gingivitis prevention concept

The prevention of gingivitis effectively protects you against more than you might realize. When your gums are in poor health, there is a risk for the initial infection to worsen to the point where it becomes a lasting problem. This can lead to the spread of bacteria to different parts of the body, and it can also result in tissue damage weakening the support that your teeth depend on to remain in position. Our Riverside, CA dentist’s office is prepared to help patients protect themselves against this issue. In addition to supplying in-office preventive services, we can provide guidance to help you improve your home care routine. One important form of support is through guidance on flossing. When done correctly, this is a habit that will keep you safe from the accumulation of harmful microbes that can make their way under your gums and create problems. (more…)

How Do Crowns Protect Teeth?

When you have problems with your oral health, it is important that you make treatment a priority. The longer you spend not addressing trouble with a cavity or injury, the more harm you can ultimately experience. During your restorative treatment, your Temecula, CA dentist will focus on more than just the removal of damaged and/or infected tissues. You will also need to receive permanent support, as our enamel is not able to naturally regrow when these kinds of issues arise and demand in-office care. One way to provide it is through the placement of a custom dental crown. Whether you receive a full crown or a partial one, we will see to it that your smile maintains its natural appearance, just as we can see to it that you are still able to bite and chew in a way that feels natural and comfortable.
