Posted

If you have a serious ache in one of your teeth that will not go away, seek treatment immediately. Pain that lasts more than a day can indicate a bacterial infection that left alone, could spread to other parts of your body. The pain you feel results from inflammation in the tooth’s inner chamber pressing against your sensitive nerves. To relieve your symptoms and help restore your smile, we could perform a root canal to clean out the bacterial deposit. Afterwards, we can place a dental crown to protect your injured tooth.

At your Moreno Valley, CA dental practice, we are standing by to treat your infection when toothaches strike. By scheduling an emergency appointment, we can remove bacteria before it spreads outside of your tooth.

When you attend a routine dental checkup, the service you receive helps you protect your gums as well as your teeth. This vital connective tissue holds your smile in place to connect it to your jaw. The same bacterial deposits that cause cavities can threaten this connection by infecting your gum tissues. Left untreated, advanced gum disease is the primary cause of losing teeth in adulthood. To preserve your smile and maintain your healthy gums, make sure to attend your checkups regularly. We can clean your smile beyond the abilities of your brush and floss at home and alert you when your gums require additional care.

At your Riverside, CA dental practice, we offer cleanings and examinations to help you protect your teeth and gums from the harm of plaque and tartar. By taking a preventive attitude towards your oral care, you stop these diseases from taking hold before they cause permanent damage. For instance, when gum disease reaches your jawbone, it cannot be reversed and must be treated regularly with periodontal maintenance therapy.

If you are thinking about correcting problems with the spacing of your teeth, you have multiple treatment options. While each can offer a more beautiful smile, they provide different benefits depending upon your level of malocclusion. Traditional braces offer the strength to bring the most crooked teeth into position. Conversely, clear aligners can more discreetly straighten your smile and provide the benefit of removability. By discussing your current situation with your dentist, you can learn which of the two treatments best corrects your grin.

At your Riverside, CA dental practice, we look forward to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams. In addition to various restorative and cosmetic procedures, we offer orthodontic solutions to align teeth that are not currently straight. By receiving treatment with braces or clear aligners, you can enjoy a smile that is more esthetically pleasing and far easier to clean!

Treating A Painful Tooth Infection

If you have constant pain in one of your teeth that will not go away, let your dentist know immediately. This symptom can indicate a dental infection that left alone, risks spreading throughout other parts of your body. If a cavity or physical trauma breaks the protective seal of your tooth, it becomes exposed to oral bacteria within your mouth that can reach the sensitive inner chamber. As your body’s immune response creates inflammation near your pulp, it presses against your tooth’s nerves to send the painful signal you now feel. By performing a root canal, we can access the infection and remove all bacteria within. This can reduce your body’s inflammatory response and prevent the disease from spreading.

At your Temecula, CA dental practice, we stress the importance of responding to dental infections rapidly. By waiting until your next checkup to receive care for your toothache, you risk further damage. This is why we provide emergency dental services to see you outside of your normally scheduled appointments.

Helping You Fight Gum Disease

When taking care of your oral health, it is important to focus on your gum tissues as well as your teeth. Your gums provide the vital seal that holds your teeth in place and prevents bacteria from harming your jaw. When these tissues erode, you can begin to lose the stability of your smile and develop a host of problems with your oral health. Gum disease is the primary cause of tooth loss among American adults, so taking time to regularly promote their health can help you maintain a stable smile for years to come.

At your Corona, CA dental practice, we focus on all aspects of oral care. This means that when you come in for a dental checkup, we clean bacterial deposits that could infect your gingival tissues. When we notice infection symptoms such as bleeding and inflammation, we can place you on maintenance therapy to get it under control. Remember that in its first stage, gingivitis, gum disease is reversible, so do not wait to seek treatment when you have a problem with your gums.

By teaching your child proper habits to take care of their teeth at an early age, they can enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles!

Maintaining a healthy smile means preventing decay and disease from eroding your teeth and gums. By practicing daily oral hygiene and visiting your dentist at least twice per year, you remove plaque deposits that can harm your smile. While this strategy is necessary to prevent oral problems, from time to time you can still receive a cavity in one of your teeth. But when you visit your dentist regularly, you can often catch it early in its development when they are easier to remove and repair.

At your Temecula, CA dental practice, we aid your oral health with routine cleanings and exams. When you visit our office, we inspect the results of your daily brushing and flossing and can let you know if certain areas require additional attention.
