Every time you brush and floss your teeth, you fight the buildup of food particles and oral bacteria. The accumulated plaque on your teeth can also be removed through these activities. Unfortunately, when there are tartar deposits present on your smile, you will not have the same kind of success at removal. These deposits will remain until your next professional teeth cleaning. Because your hygienist can remove harmful debris from areas that are hard for you to see or reach, you can find that you needed more help in the form of tartar removal than you realized. Our Riverside, CA dentist’s office provides thorough cleanings as part of your regular dental appointments, which help you stay safe from future problems as well as complications from existing issues.

Will Unhealthy Gums Hurt My Smile?
If you think a tooth looks out of place in your smile, you can have understandable concerns about how much attention it receives from others when you smile and speak.

Help For Nightly Teeth Grinding
Do you really need to say something to your dentist about your teeth grinding issues?

Fixing Teeth That Are Not In Alignment
Do you have problems with your smile because of poor teeth spacing? This is a problem that many people deal with, and it can make it difficult for you to truly feel comfortable with the way you look.

We Can Offer Lifelike Fillings

The placement of your restoration has to take place because without this support, your tooth remains vulnerable from damage. Does this mean you have to accept that your smile is going to remain unattractive because of a conspicuous filling or crown? A restoration at our Riverside, CA dental practice can actually protect you without changing how you look. To place a filling, we apply a composite resin material that can match your tooth structure while providing long-term protection. (more…)
When You Start To Feel A Toothache
It may be harder than you realize to recognize when something is wrong with your oral health. You can let a cavity go untreated for an extended length of time because the decay is not initially painful, and you can overlook the warning symptoms of gum disease. With that said, there are times when it can actually be hard to ignore the possibility that you need oral health care. When you start to feel a toothache, it can point to an issue with an infection from an advanced cavity, or one that has formed after an injury. Our Riverside, CA dentist’s office is prepared to help you deal with this problem. If an evaluation confirms that there is an infection that needs to be cared for, we can provide root canal therapy to make sure that it is fully dealt with. (more…)
