Posted

When it comes to improving problems with the spacing of your teeth, learning all of your options for orthodontic corrections can help you make the best decision. Different appliances seek the same results of straighter teeth, but provide different benefits during the corrective period. For example, clear aligners are removable to offer easier cleaning, while traditional braces provide the tension to correct more severe alignment issues. When you understand the differences, you can gain confidence when consulting with your dentist.

At your Riverside, CA, dental practice, we can help you bring your teeth into a more desirable position with modern orthodontic solutions. When you meet with the team members at Riverside Dental Group, we evaluate your level of malocclusion to determine which therapy can work for you. With both Invisalign clear aligners and traditional metal braces, we offer health and cosmetic improvement only orthodontics can provide!

Learning habits to protect the health of your smile begins in early childhood. This means that when kids attend their first checkups and cleanings, they become accustomed to the role the dentist plays in safeguarding their smile. When a child’s first tooth erupts, meeting the dentist helps them become comfortable with the idea of taking care of their teeth. Children’s dentistry focuses on preventive treatments to protect your child’s teeth as they grow and develop into adolescence.

At your Temecula, CA, dentist’s office, we offer a comforting atmosphere to welcome kids to their first dental visits and ease them into treatment.

Protecting You From Tooth Decay

Posted

Woman pointing to smile on orange backgroundDo you make the habit to visit your dentist every six months? If you have skipped a recent appointment, you should remember that routine cleanings and examinations are one of your best tools in the fight against tooth decay. Your dentist helps you remove plaque and tartar deposits that cause cavities to form in the first place and can detect existing damage before it further damages your teeth. Because your oral hygiene habits at home form the basis for cavity prevention, we can inspect the results of your brushing and flossing and offer guidance on appropriate techniques.

At your Corona, CA dentist’s office, we protect smiles from the harmful effects of bacterial buildup. By staying on top of your semiannual visitation schedule, you receive a cleaning and inspection to ensure no plaque deposits remain on your teeth. When we do find cavities, we promptly remove them and provide a restoration to maintain the health of your tooth and stop the spread of disease! (more…)

Root Canal Therapy Treats Infection

Posted

A constant toothache that will not go away is not a problem you should ignore. When dental pain lasts for days, it may indicate an infection within the pulp of your tooth that requires professional treatment. Infections result when damage to your enamel from decay or physical trauma exposes the insides of your tooth to bacteria within your mouth. Without the protective seal of the tooth’s surface, oral bacteria enter and gather around the sensitive root. As your body forms a response to fight the infection, you experience the serious pain of inflamed nerves. Even worse, if you fail to seek treatment, the infection risks spreading from the tooth to your jaw and other parts of your body.

At your Moreno Valley, CA dentist’s office, we stress the importance of treating infected teeth before they become worse. Performing root canal therapy can offer valuable relief from your pain and remove the infected material that continues to damage your oral health. Because this procedure permanently alters its surface, we can help you plan a restoration to protect your tooth from future reinfection.

How We Support Healthy Gums

Posted

young woman standing with arms folded isolated over white backgroundMaintaining a healthy smile means focusing on your gums as well as your teeth. This is because your gums provide the important connection that holds your teeth in place and seals your jawbone from external threats. When you perform your daily brushing and flossing routine, the removal of bacterial plaque that leads to tooth decay also helps you prevent the infection of your gum tissues. Consistent bleeding when you floss is a symptom that infection is present and requires notifying your dentist right away. When you visit your dentist for your semiannual checkup, you provide an opportunity to inspect the results of your daily cleaning habits and observe the current health of your gums. Because gum disease is reversible in its first stage, gingivitis, do not skip any appointments less you allow the disease to progress to a permanent state.

At your Riverside, CA, dentist’s office, we help you prevent gum disease by performing cleanings that remove infectious bacteria regularly. However, when a disease case presents, we can offer periodontal maintenance therapy to stop its progression and maintain your oral health. Because gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults, make sure to prioritize your gum health every day!

How We Help You Fight Tooth Decay

Posted

woman smiling outdoorsAre you staying on top of your scheduled visits to the dentist’s office? If it has been a while since your last visit, remember that regular checkups and examinations are one of your best tools for preventing, detecting, and treating tooth decay. Regular attendance means removing the bacterial deposits that lead to cavities as well as removing cavities before they expand in size and further erode your teeth. Your at-home brushing and flossing efforts remain your first line of defense, but when you attend an examination, your dentist can provide protection beyond the ability of your own tools. If plaque progresses to tartar deposits, you must rely on your dental team to properly address this buildup.

At your Moreno Valley, CA dental practice, we protect your teeth from the corrosive destruction of oral bacteria. When you visit us at least every six months, we clean the entire surface of your teeth to make sure no cavity-causing buildups remain. If we do find a cavity, we will remove it and provide a proper restoration to maintain the strength of your remaining healthy tooth!
