Until you put a stop to problems with bruxism, or habitual teeth grinding, you can experience chronic pain, suffer wear and tear on your teeth, and even run the risk of significant dental damage! Fortunately, your Riverside, CA dentist can protect your smile by providing an oral guard to protect your teeth while you sleep. When in place, the guard stops you from unconsciously grinding or clenching your teeth. While this stops bruxism from doing more harm to your smile, you may feel self-conscious about wear and tear that has already occurred. To deal with this issue, you can look into cosmetic dental work to make your smile appear healthier and more youthful. If necessary, we can recommend the placement of a dental crown to restore a tooth that is in poor health because of advanced damage. (more…)

A Bonding Treatment Can Change The Look Of A Jagged Tooth
Is a jagged tooth sticking out in your smile? Many people have issues with teeth that are naturally misshapen, and others will be bothered by the appearance of a tooth that looks jagged after an injury. One tooth that stands out from its neighbors can attract unwanted attention. It can also stop you from showing off a symmetrical smile, leaving you self-conscious about your appearance. To fix this issue, our Corona, CA dentist’s office can recommend tooth bonding and contouring treatment. This cosmetic dental procedure takes a conservative approach to changing a tooth’s shape and size. With careful modifications, your tooth can have its size and shape corrected so that it no longer appears jagged or uneven. Because this work does not make the placement of a custom restoration necessary, it can fit into a single procedure! (more…)
How Can I Tell If My Tooth Is Infected?
If you think your tooth might be infected, you should bring the matter to your dentist’s attention as soon as possible.

In time, the health of your tooth can deteriorate to the point where it must be extracted. At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we can determine if an infection has formed, and we can also recommend the appropriate endodontic treatment to save the tooth from being lost. Remember that the sooner you seek care, the sooner you can have work done to stop a tooth’s condition from worsening! (more…)
