When a person takes the time to brush and floss their teeth each day, they can feel confident in their oral health. While you (hopefully) keep up with good habits on a consistent basis, you should know that this is not all that you can do to protect yourself against problems such as tooth decay and gum disease. You can—and should—also take advantage of the preventive services available from your Temecula, CA dentist during a routine dental exam and cleaning. Through these appointments, you stay better informed about your oral health, and you can receive early warnings about any problems that might require care. You are also protected because your teeth are professionally cleaned so that plaque and tartar buildup no longer pose a threat to your well-being. (more…)
Is Gum Disease A Serious Problem?
The threat posed by tooth decay should not be taken lightly, but you should also remember that it is not the only threat to your overall oral health. If you are not practicing good oral hygiene, you can leave yourself vulnerable to problems with gum disease. An infection can initially cause tissue inflammation and issues with sensitive tissues, or tissues that bleed easily; concerns about bad breath; and the formation of periodontal pockets. In time, as bacteria continue to spread on your teeth roots, you can have more severe issues to worry about, and it can become more difficult to keep the problem under control! At our Corona, CA dentist’s office, we can offer important in-office support during your routine dental exams and cleanings. We can also provide an evaluation to determine what kind of help could be required if gum disease is already an issue for you. (more…)
Severe Cavity? It May Require A Root Canal
You protect yourself against cavities both by keeping up with good oral hygiene at home, and by being consistent about preventive dental appointments. Unfortunately, people sometimes fall short of the right approach to preventive care, leaving them at risk not just for cavities but advanced decay. A severe problem with your tooth can lead to complications that require more involved restorative services. Fortunately, your Riverside, CA dentist’s office is prepared to help in this situation. If it is necessary to do so, we will provide a root canal to restore the health of a tooth that is affected by severe decay. After doing so, we can make sure that it remains safe by capping it with a custom dental crown. (more…)
