Root canal therapy deals with problems within your tooth structure. When a cavity is serious enough to cause an infection, or when an injury does damage to your pulp, this is an important procedure, one that puts a stop to discomfort and makes saving your tooth possible. You should look forward to being free of pain after your treatment, but if discomfort or other signs of infection persist – or if they return after a time, you should be concerned. Should this happen to you, it is important to note that Sunny Smiles is here to provide retreatment. What this means is that we can work on a tooth that has already undergone root canal therapy so that we can address a new problem, or one that was not fully resolved. (more…)
Scheduled Cleanings Encourage Better Hygiene
Are you doing enough to keep your smile clean on a daily basis? We need to maintain steady brushing and flossing routines to prevent the accumulation of bacteria and food debris, which can lead to the formation of plaque and tartar. If these substances build up and are not removed, they can cause issues with your oral health that require professional care. While your daily efforts are important, you are not the only person you can count on to protect your smile. At every routine dental exam, your teeth are professionally cleaned. This removes plaque buildup as well as any tartar deposits that have hardened in place. Sunny Smiles can meet with you to provide regular preventive support. When necessary, we can also take care of you if any active oral health problems call for our treatment. (more…)

When Wisdom Teeth Start To Cause Discomfort
