Improving Your Child’s Oral Health

Posted

When children learn healthy oral hygiene habits at an early age, you set them up for a lifetime of smile care. By providing a comfortable atmosphere for receiving their first cleanings and examinations, visiting the dentist becomes a normal part of their yearly routine. When your child receives their first baby tooth, or by their first birthday, we suggest bringing them in for a casual introduction to meet their dentist.

At your Riverside, CA, dental practice, we help improve children’s smiles with a focus on children’s dentistry. Just like their parents, kids need regular care to help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other potential oral harm. Their semiannual visits present a valuable opportunity to review and teach the skills they need to take care of their mouths on their own at home.

Practices To Help Treat Tooth Decay

Posted

Boy laughing outsideDo you stay on top of regular trips to your dentist? If it has been a while since your last visit, we suggest visiting on a biannual basis to receive a general checkup. At each appointment, we clean your teeth and perform a thorough examination to protect your smile from tooth decay, gum disease, and other common concerns. We have the tools to remove bacterial formations that you cannot treat on your own at home with regular brushing and flossing. By removing these deposits, we attack decay at its source to prevent cavities, loss of enamel, and infections that result from the weakening of the protective layer of your tooth.

At your Riverside, CA dental practice, we provide routine cleanings to prevent and detect cavities and help you maintain a healthy smile. By visiting us regularly, you know you are in good hands with a professional eye on your oral care. Your six-month examination can catch any new developments in the health of your teeth before they advance. This can lead to receiving appropriate care before a disease process gets out of hand.

Relieving Your Tooth Infection

Posted

Man with toothache at computerConstant pain in one of your teeth is not a symptom you should ignore or take lightly. When you have consistent discomfort in your tooth that will not go away on its own, this can indicate an infection of the pulp. If you do not seek timely care, your pain may increase as the infection spreads and risks entering the rest of your body. When a tooth becomes infected, it is usually the result of oral bacteria entering an exposed part of the tooth’s surface. Whether from a cavity, trauma, or physical wear and tear, this damage to your tooth should be seen and treated by your dentist as well.

At your Temecula, CA dental practice, we recommend seeking treatment right away when you experience a painful infection. We can provide a root canal therapy to remove the source of your pain and prevent the infection from spreading. Because a root canal permanently alters the structure of your tooth, we will plan a restoration to seal your tooth and restore its natural beauty! (more…)

Promoting Your Gum Health

Posted

Your gums can be just as important as they create a seal between your jaw and teeth to secure your smile in place. Because this tissue prevents oral bacteria from entering your jaw and causing an infection, preventing the gums from becoming infected or receding themselves should be a top priority for oral health. When you follow a regular hygienic routine that includes brushing and flossing, you remove bacterial deposits that can infect your gums and affect the stability of your entire smile. To support your daily cleaning sessions, semiannual visits to the dentist inspect the results of your daily brushing. We can remove bacterial material that you cannot handle on your own at home and detect when any gum infection occurs. When caught in its first stage, gum disease is reversible, so make sure to attend each of your general cleanings.

At your Corona, CA dentist’s office, we promote healthy gums by stressing the importance of regular cleaning and examinations. At each appointment, we remove plaque and tartar deposits that cause gum disease and inspect the health of your gingival tissues. When we detect an infection, we can place you on periodontal maintenance therapy to reduce inflammation and prevent the disease from expanding. (more…)

The Benefits Of Straighter Teeth

If you have been thinking about seeking orthodontic correction for the position of your teeth, there are multiple options available from your local dentist. Knowing the benefits of each corrective appliance can help you more easily make the decision and receive the care you desire. What you will find is that while all solutions seek the goal of straighter teeth, your experience during treatment can vary with each treatment. A clear aligner product can be taken off intermittently to easily clean your teeth, while a more traditional braces treatment can offer additional tension to bring your teeth into position.

At your Moreno Valley, CA dental practice, we offer modern orthodontic products to help you correct problems with the spacing of your teeth. At Dental Associates of Moreno Valley, we inspect your degree of malocclusion to help you decide which therapy works best. With treatment from Invisalign as well as bracket-and-wire metal braces, we hope to put a smile on your face!

Are you looking for options to improve the appearance of your smile? If stains and blemishes are diminishing the shade of your grin, it can be quite frustrating. Take a look a pictures of yourself from recent years and you may notice a much brighter look on your teeth. This is because particles in the everyday foods and drinks we love can slowly accumulate in the surface of your enamel. Other habits like smoking and certain genetic factors can reveal a yellow look as you age as well. Fortunately, a visit to your dentist can provide a professional whitening treatment that lifts stains and returns the original look of your healthy smile.

At your Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we understand how important your cosmetic appearance can be to your mental well-being. Our gel-based bleaching treatments can restore your confidence by tackling the source of your discoloration issue. When you make the decision to lift stains from your teeth, you return a bright, white look you can be proud to show off to others! (more…)

The oral hygiene habits children learn at a young age help them maintain a healthy smile for an entire lifetime. By taking your child to their first cleanings and examinations, they become comfortable with the idea of regularly cleaning their teeth in a professional environment.

At this early stage, children’s dentistry focuses on protecting little smiles as they grow into adulthood.

At your Riverside, CA dental practice, we take a special approach when meeting children for the first time.

If it has been a long time since your last visit, we recommend scheduling an appointment at least once every six months. At your semiannual cleaning and examination, you receive the care needed to protect your smile from tooth decay and other oral threats. Each cleaning allows us to remove plaque and tartar deposits from the surface of your teeth to prevent them from causing cavities, gum disease, or dangerous infections. Our examination process allows us to review your daily at-home hygiene habits and provide instruction on your brushing and flossing routine.

At your Temecula, CA dental practice, we prevent the buildup of bacteria that can harm your smile. When you attend each of your appointments, you gain peace of mind that your teeth are regularly cleaned.

A Solution For Your Tooth Infection

Posted

If you have consistent pain in one of your teeth that will not subside, this can be a sign of a serious underlying health problem. Whenever you have this symptom, it can indicate an infection of the pulp within your tooth. Without professional treatment, your pain will continue and you risk spreading the infection to other parts of your body. A tooth infection is often the result of damage to the enamel that exposes the insides of your tooth to oral bacteria. Whether from physical damage or tooth decay, this exposure allows bacteria to infect and cause painful inflammation in your sensitive nerves.

At your Corona, CA dental practice, we understand how painful a tooth infection can be. This is why we offer root canal therapy to relieve your symptoms and protect your mouth from the dangerous spread of oral bacteria. To help restore your smile after performing this procedure, we will plan a restoration to restore the natural appearance of your injured tooth!

Maintaining Strong Gum Health

When it comes to promoting healthy smiles, the health of your gums can be as important as that of your teeth. Your gingival tissues provide the vital connection between your jawbone and your teeth to hold them securely in place. When your gums are healthy, they also provide an important seal against oral bacteria from infecting deep into your body. This means that any threats to your gums threaten the stability of your teeth themselves and can lead to serious infections. By rigorously following a daily brushing and flossing routine, you remove the sticky film of bacteria that can turn into plaque and cause a gum infection. Visiting your dentist on a semiannual basis also allows you to receive cleaning beyond the abilities of your routine at home. At these checkups, we can detect if disease is present and place you on the appropriate maintenance therapy schedule if needed.

Your Moreno Valley, CA dentist is your partner in supporting the health of your gums.  At each of your checkups, we examine their health and perform cleanings to remove bacterial deposits. Treatments such as deep cleanings allow us to heal your gums when an infection presents itself. (more…)
