Have you ever given much thought to why it’s so nice to have a family dentist? When you’re looking for a place to call your own, where you and your family members will be able to receive the comprehensive smile protection that they need, what you really want is to feel comfortable, respected, and relaxed. As a family practice, we understand exactly what you need, so that you know you’re in the right place!
You know that we keep telling you we offer comprehensive dental care with a list of lots (and lots) of dental services. However, what you begin wondering is how you’re going to figure out which treatment or two from that list is really what you need. Here’s what we like to remind our patients: That’s very simple! You don’t need to figure anything out. You just need to spend time with us for a dental appointment. We will take care of the details from there!
You may have a hard time understanding what makes sugar so bad for your teeth when you really sit down and think about it. Does sugar instantly make a cavity form, you wonder, and why? How is it possible that something so delicious causes decay? Why is it that you can eat sugar, visit us for checkups, and sometimes you may have a cavity but sometimes you will not? We are here to give you the additional facts you need to understand the connection between sweets and oral health problems, so you can more easily keep your teeth protected.
You may recognize that you have dry mouth because, well, your mouth feels dry. You may notice that your lips are surprisingly chapped or cracked. You may also deal with a not-so-fresh breath feeling, with saliva that seems stringy instead of its usual consistency, and your ability to taste foods may change. What you may not understand, though, is why this is happening and what to do about it. Fortunately, we are always here to guide you toward the answers and solutions!
Do you have an aching tooth? Have you noticed sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks? Often, a toothache can mean you have a problem that requires dental treatment. What causes a tooth to ache and what can you do address or avoid further pain?
“Great,” you think to yourself. “This bad breath is still here.” Maybe you’ve added a mouth wash to your routine, hoping it would fix the problem, but it only masks it for a few hours. Perhaps you thought it would just go away on its own or that you’d just ended up with one bad case of morning breath. If you think you’ve hit a wall and may suffer from unkindly breath for the rest of your years, we remind you: We can always help! For right now, try out some very common fixes.
You’ve heard of a regular cleaning for your smile before (in all hopes) because this is something that we provide for you every six months! It’s a time for patients, from kids on up, to see us for the removal of plaque and tartar that cannot be addressed with brushing and flossing at home. So, then, you wonder, what is a deep cleaning? Is it similar? Well, it is a type of cleaning but it’s much more intensive. It’s for individuals with buildup that’s accumulated beneath the gumline and that has begun to negatively affect one’s gum health, either causing or leading to gingivitis or further stages of gum disease. Find out what you can expect from this beneficial treatment!
You might think you know quite a lot about dental sealants and you might even be right! When you’re up to date and well informed regarding dental care for your child, chances are quite good that you’ve done some investigating. As you know, sealants keep bad stuff like bacteria from making their way into little grooves of back teeth (the chewing surfaces), which can greatly help limit the occurrence of cavities. However, there may be some little things (and some bigger realizations) that are sneaking past you, the details of which might prove beneficial for your outlook on this preventive treatment in more ways than you may expect!
If we determine that you are suffering from sleep apnea, then you are going to require sleep apnea treatment. If you think that this means we simply send you home with an appliance that should help, we would like to remind you that getting your nightly breathing back on track is indeed far more comprehensive! Consider the means through which we will guide you back toward open airways as you sleep at night, so your comfort and your quality of life spring back to their previous state of wellbeing.
If you’re an adult who could really use dental care but you are having trouble securing dental services, we invite you to attend our Day of Free Dentistry! We love seeing each and every one of our community members, while helping them maintain their oral health, and look forward to seeing you soon!
