Why A Tooth With A Serious Problem Might Need A Root Canal
If you have noticed that a tooth has become notably sensitive, or is a source of discomfort, you may have a problem that will require a root canal to treat. Your dentist can perform this procedure safely and effectively, and expertly restore your tooth. However, if you are unwilling to have this work done on your tooth, it could have serious consequences for your oral health. If you put off the treatment for too long, your tooth could suffer too much harm to be saved, and will have to be extracted. An advanced cavity can also pass through your tooth root, and do more harm. (more…)
Dealing With Oral Health Issues That Affect How You Sleep
It can be tough sometimes to secure a full night’s rest, but a sufficient amount of sleep is crucial to your general well-being. What you might not realize is that there are some impediments to sleep that your dentist can address. One reason people fail to rest properly is sleep apnea. Sleep apnea robs you of oxygen for frequent periods, and your body must awaken to address this. Many people believe the only way to stop this from happening is with the use of a CPAP machine, but this is not always the case. Your dentist can treat sleep apnea without a CPAP machine – you can have a custom mouth guard made that blocks the closure of your airways while you sleep. If you wake up in pain because of issues with your face, teeth, or jaws, your dentist may be able to provide relief. (more…)
Making Sure Your Smile Looks Good After Cavity Treatment
Restorative work on a cavity is important – without treatment from your dentist, an infection can spread through your tooth root, and that tooth can suffer irreparable harm. That being said, modern dental techniques are sensitive to the desire to maintain an attractive smile. The restorative procedures your dentist can perform rely on materials that can blend effectively with your teeth, so that work done on a cavity will not be detectable. The best way to handle cavities is to avoid letting one develop. Regular checkups with your dentist can help you maintain a cavity-free mouth, and preserve your smile’s good condition. (more…)

How Dental Bonding Can Help Your Smile
Dental bonding is an effective treatment for a flawed tooth, as it can cover up problems with size, shape, and color. This cosmetic procedure can be completed in a single visit, and can be a less costly means of improving your appearance than porcelain veneers. The process involves the expert application of a composite resin material to the problem tooth. Your dentist will ensure that the application leaves you with an improved tooth that enhances your looks. To ensure that it has a firm hold on your tooth, your dentist will use a special curing light to speed up the hardening process. (more…)
Good Habits To Help Protect Your Oral Health

However, you should also know that a prosthetic can also provide restorative dental benefits.
