Protecting Your Smile By Flossing
When you put the right time and effort into protecting your smile by flossing daily, you can prevent potentially serious problems from occurring. It may be less than surprising to hear that this habit is important for the sake of your dental health, but you may not realize how valuable it can be for your overall well-being. This is the case because by flossing, you take care of your gums, and that means preventing a periodontal infection that can lead to complications that impact your overall health. Our Temecula, CA dentist’s office is ready to help you when it comes to in-office care, and we can provide support by helping you establish and stick to the right daily hygiene routine. Between flossing, brushing, and relying on a healthy diet, you can have an easier time preserving your healthy and lovely smile! (more…)
Receiving A Lifelike Filling
As part of your cavity treatment, your Corona, CA dentist will place a restoration to keep your tooth safe. The type of restoration you receive will depend on how much protection needs to be provided for your tooth. Many times, patients will receive care in time to qualify for treatment with dental fillings. These restorations are more conservative, as they only cover a limited portion of your tooth structure in order to provide the protection needed. Our office can place a dental filling that effectively mimics healthy enamel, so this work will not alter your smile even if the filling is set in a conspicuous location! When necessary, we are prepared to offer more advanced services to ensure that your procedure fully addresses your needs. (more…)
Smart Care For Intrinsic Discoloration
How does intrinsic discoloration differ from the kind of discoloration caused by external stains? The stains that gather on your enamel can be effectively treated with bleaching agents that remove particles that have dulled this material. When you have intrinsic discoloration, you will have issues within the tooth structure that are responsible for your cosmetic flaws, which means a different approach to care should be pursued. The good news is that this is still an issue that can be addressed effectively through cosmetic dental work. At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we can discuss services that are capable of hiding these blemishes and restoring the quality of your smile! We can also talk to you about the use of dental crowns to take on more significant discoloration issues. (more…)

Will Halloween Fun Lead To Tooth Decay?
Halloween can be one of the most fun holidays that people celebrate. It is also one that we can enjoy in smaller ways before and after the day itself. In the weeks leading up to the actual holiday, you can find yourself pecking away at the Halloween candy you have set aside for trick-or-treaters. You can also find that you and your family have an abundance of goodies to enjoy after your kids take home their own hauls after going out to celebrate the season. A higher intake of sugar can raise your risk for dental decay, which means you are more likely to need restorative work from your Riverside, CA dentist. However, this does not mean you have to simply accept that you will have cavity trouble at this time of year! The right daily behaviors, along with a commitment to professional smile care, can help you avoid the consequences of this problem in the long term. (more…)
