Poor dental hygiene coupled with not attending regular checkups can be a detriment to your natural grin.

Before dentistry became as advanced as it is today, many tooth problems had to be dealt with by extracting the tooth. For some people, this could be followed by having the tooth replaced. Today, however, your dentist can help you address a wide range of dental health concerns, including many severe ones, in order to help you save and preserve more of your natural teeth. This means teeth don’t have to be extracted just because they’ve become compromised. Yet, there are still instances when a tooth may be so compromised that saving it isn’t really an option, and tooth extraction may be the best option for your smile. (more…)
Practicing good oral health habits at home such as brushing and flossing, in addition to attending routine examinations and cleanings are necessary parts of a dental health regimen. While you may be taking these steps, accidents and mishaps can occur at any given moment, potentially jeopardizing your smile’s health. But what can you do in these situations? The team at Cleveland Family Dentistry in Cleveland, Texas recognizes that things happen, whether it means getting a tooth knocked-out while participating in a sporting event, or even from falling and landing face-first on the ground. When these emergencies occur, knowing what to do is the first step to saving your smile.
For most people, the main part of preserving their healthy smiles is preventing things that could eventually lead to tooth loss, or restoring teeth that are compromised in order to retain them. However, in some rare cases, a tooth may become so compromised that extracting it is the only way to preserve the rest of your healthy teeth and oral structure. Today, we take a closer look at the need for tooth extraction, including why it’s necessary and how to effectively restore your smile afterward. (more…)
