A Lost Filling Creates Risk

Sometimes, problems happen within our mouths; when they do, it’s important to talk to your dentist about your next steps. A broken tooth or lost filling is one of those times, as this situation can put you at real risk of developing a bacterial infection within the tooth, where it’s difficult to fight back on your own. A nasty toothache can ensue, so meet with a trusted local dental provider to make a plan.

When you visit Sunny Smiles, you’ve got someone looking out for you. Our office is built to help people maintain and improve their oral health through effective preventive care, quality cosmetic processes, and restoration that works for your specific smile needs. Meeting with your dental team quickly can make a difference, as bacterial infection can cause a seriously painful toothache that requires root canal treatment to correct. So, if you’ve cracked, chipped, or broken one or more of your natural teeth, or if you’ve lost a filling, reach out to your dentist to talk about restoration.

Fight Back Against Periodontal Disease

periodontal disease el paso tx

Even with a dedication to your brushing and flossing, you still need to care for your smile. One of the reasons for that is because bacteria leave behind harmful biofilm called plaque, which irritates the gums and leads to tooth decay. If left, it calcifies into a harder form called calculus, and at that point, you need the help of a trusted dental hygienist to remove it for you. So, when you start to see redness or swelling along your gumline, talk to your dentist to see if bacterial buildup is to blame.

With our trusted, local team at Sunny Smiles, you can take steps to fight back against periodontal disease. This is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in this country, so it’s important to find a pathway forward. Keeping a cleaner set of teeth can help patients to improve their gum health, and it’s important to do it with a dentist who knows their stuff. Schedule your next biannual checkup, and while you’re here, we can talk about uplifting your gum health.

Your gums do real work in keeping your teeth upright. Find out more about periodontal treatment with Sunny Smiles.

Wisdom Teeth Can Pose Real Problems

When your child reaches their teen years, there’s more to look out for than just a grouchy attitude. They have real health needs, and as a parent, it’s your job to make sure that they have what they need to come out on the other side in a healthy way. Their smile is no exception, as their third and final set of molars arrive just around when they start driving. So, make sure that you keep your teen on a positive schedule of dental checkups, so they have consistent imagery to track their wisdom teeth.

Here at Sunny Smiles, our office helps teens to grow into happy and healthy smiles. We understand the importance of tracking their wisdom teeth development, and when it’s time to talk to an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon (OMS) for their extraction, we can help your family understand the process. Their third and final molars can pose some serious smile problems if ignored, so make sure that you’re taking the time to keep your teen close to the dentist while they grow into adulthood.

If they have started driving, their wisdom teeth might be coming, too. Schedule their next checkup at Sunny Smiles, and let’s take a look at their teeth.

Is Your Rest Holding You Back?

holding you back el paso tx

Without a quality night of sleep, it can be truly tough to be yourself. Unfortunately, for some people, that is just not possible without some extra help. Chronic obstructive sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that affects approximately 30 million of us on a nightly basis. This happens in your deepest form of slumber called REM, when the body acts a little differently than it does during waking hours. Loud or intrusive snoring is one of the hallmark signs of this condition, so if your loved ones have mentioned yours, let’s talk about it.

Here at Sunny Smiles, we work hard to help people experience safer sleep. Chronic obstructive sleep apnea can significantly increase a person’s risk of heart attack, stroke, and even type 2 diabetes, so it’s important to find a treatment solution. For some people, however, traditional CPAP simply won’t work due to its discomfort and noise. That’s why we are proud to offer oral appliance therapy, which works to fight back against sleep apnea in a different way.

When your rest becomes a problem, see if mandibular advancement can make an impact. To find out more about oral appliance therapy, call Sunny Smiles.

When You Break A Tooth, Make The Call

break a tooth

Your smile’s safety depends on the strength of your enamel. This is the form of tissue that makes up the hard external surface of the tooth, and it does a lot of work for you. It handles chewing, helping you to enjoy the foods that you love, and enamel helps your teeth to continue looking great. But this material can be compromised due to tooth decay, injury, or something else, and when it does, you’re ready to discuss your next steps. Because when bacteria find their way inside, it can cause some major problems.

With our team at Sunny Smiles, you have a team that’s ready to renew your smile. We understand that broken teeth can happen, and when they do, it’s important to reach out to a trusted, neighborhood dental office. With effective, attractive restoration solutions, we have options that are designed to help you live your life again after experiencing dental damage. So, don’t put it off any longer.

A broken tooth is a serious smile liability. Find out more about restoration with Sunny Smiles.
