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. If you frequently feel headaches, tooth sensitivity, and cavities, these may be signs that you have bruxism. At your next appointment, the staff at Riverside Dental Group in California can help assess your concerns and determine a helpful treatment plan to reduce your TMJ and tooth-grinding habits.
Do you experience headaches, tenseness, or stiffness of your neck, jaw, or face frequently? If you do, this may be a sign that you have temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD/ TMJ). 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. Your Riverside Dental Group in California can assess the problem and create an effective treatment plan for your needs.
Valentine’s Day can be a lot of fun for your kids. They may have classroom parties and pass around sweet treats to share. Before this holiday, bring your little ones in for their checkups. These visits can monitor for early signs of cavities, gingivitis, and other dental concerns that may worsen if not treated promptly. Today, your Riverside Dental Group in California is here with tips on keeping your child’s smile healthy this season.
If you believe you have good oral hygiene and a healthy smile, you may think it is okay to skip your biannual trip to the dentist. However, these visits can detect early signs of problems like decay, gingivitis, and even oral cancer that may develop without symptoms. To help protect your oral and physical health, you should see the dentist every six months. Today, your Riverside Dental Group in California is here to remind you to attend these visits.
Recently, we have talked about what to expect when you need extensive dental work, such as oral surgery. In many cases, these procedures are planned out well in advance, so you have adequate time to prepare. But what do you do if you need unplanned treatments? Whether you have suffered harm to your pearly whites, have a sudden ache, or have dislodged one of your pearly whites, your Riverside Dental Group of California is here to help with your emergency needs. If you need urgent dental care, remember to stay calm and seek care as soon as possible.
In recent blogs, we have discussed wisdom tooth extractions and root canals, both of which are considered forms of oral surgery. We know that the thought of these invasive procedures may be anxiety-inducing for some patients, however, they are necessary for maintaining a healthy smile. Your Riverside Dental Group of California is here today to help put your mind at ease before your oral surgery treatment.
Invasive dental procedures are certainly not something that makes our patients jump for joy. Extractions, oral surgery, and even regular appointments may be anxiety-inducing for some people. To make this process easier, Riverside Dental Group in California offers a form of sedation that allows you to be relaxed during these treatments. This form of anesthesia can reduce your anxiety but allow you to respond when necessary. In today’s blog, we will be discussing how this works and when it may be necessary.
Our third molars, also known as wisdom teeth, typically grow during our late teenage or early adult years. In most cases, these will be removed to protect your other pearly whites. While this is a regular practice in dentistry, many patients wonder why we grow in a third set of molars and why extracting them is necessary. Today, your Riverside Dental Group of California explains why this is and the benefit of extracting them.
When you have a cavity, it’s important to treat it as soon as possible. Removing the decay and filling it with composite resin protects your tooth from damage. When you have a deeper cavity, an endodontic treatment can be used to relieve discomfort and restore the tooth. While these two treatments are similar, they are used in different ways. Today, your Riverside Dental Group of California will explore the differences between a filling and a root canal.
Even after you have straightened your teeth with braces or Invisalign, there is a chance they can become misaligned. That is why after your initial orthodontic treatment, proper precautions must be taken. Permanent or removable retainers will be created for you depending on your needs. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group in California will explain how these options differ.
We believe in offering all patients a comprehensive approach to dental care, protecting smiles with preventive dentistry, and improving the beauty of their smiles with cosmetic and restorative care.
Couldn’t be happier with the results of my bridge/crown work performed by Dr.Dalida, and Rosa is the best dental assistant I’ve ever had – and I’ve had many procedures with almost all forms of dentistry over the years due to an industrial accident. Would absolutely recommend the office! 
Dr Sheila Harris and the whole team @RDG is truly amazing. My 3 boys actually like going to the Dentist. True professionals with a side of great pediatric sensibilities.
