Planning TMJ Therapy To Treat Jaw Pain
You can quickly become fed up with TMJ disorder – when it is not addressed, this condition can make biting, chewing, and speaking difficult due to feelings of stiffness and pain. What can you do to resolve this issue and put your discomfort behind you? Sunny Smiles provides help for patients who show signs of this condition. With a custom oral appliance, we can help you change the position of your jaw to ease tension and reduce stiffness and pain when you move your jaw.

When You Need Root Canal Therapy
It is important that you take signs of oral health trouble seriously, and that you seek treatment for a potential problem as soon as you can. If you put off an appointment while you struggle with pain or sensitivity, you can give an infection more time to spread. Eventually, your worsening infection can become so serious that your tooth has to be extracted! Sunny Smiles can evaluate your tooth to see if you might require root canal treatment. If you do, we can perform this procedure to stop the spread of decay that threatens your appearance and well-being. We can also provide a custom restoration that will keep your tooth safe over time.

Seeing Your Dentist On A Saturday
By seeing your dentist on a regular basis, you protect yourself against a range of oral health issues. At an appointment, your smile undergoes a close review to determine if tooth decay, gum disease, or any other condition might require treatment. Your visit also includes a teeth cleaning that will remove plaque and tartar buildup that make you vulnerable to problems. Sunny Smiles understands that traditional office hours are less than convenient for some people, which can make consistent care feel less accessible. By opening our dental office on Saturdays, we can help you find the time for important preventive care and keep your smile healthy! (more…)
Problems You Can Discuss At A Dental Checkup
There are potentially serious problems that can affect your smile over time if you are not consistent about scheduling preventive dental care. While a cavity can be caught and treated early, decay can become a source of discomfort and a threat to your smile if the problem goes unaddressed. You can also have a more difficult time fighting gum disease if you have not been regular about your exams. Sunny Smiles can certainly help you deal with these issues when you come in for a routine dental checkup. With that said, these are just two of many concerns that you can discuss with us. We can help you keep your smile safe by providing timely care at your regular appointments, and we can make time for you if a problem arises between planned visits. (more…)
Wisdom Teeth And Dental Discomfort
Is it time for you to do something about your wisdom teeth? For your other teeth, an extraction is typically only recommended as a last resort. Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are often removed preemptively to avoid problems that these teeth can cause upon erupting. People often lack space for these molars, which makes their late arrival painful. Without timely intervention, they can become impacted due to a lack of space, or they can press painfully against their neighbors and cause difficulties for you. At Sunny Smiles, we can bring you in to remove those unwelcome teeth before they create problems for your overall oral health. To receive an early warning about their eruption that prevents painful problems, stay consistent with regular dental appointments. (more…)
How We Make Teeth Whitening More Convenient
You can gradually lose confidence in the way you look as you gradually pick up more and more enamel stains.

As these particles gather on your teeth, they can cause discoloration that makes your smile less attractive! To deal with this problem, you can look into a professional whitening procedure. Why choose professional teeth whitening treatment over the use of a store bought product? At Sunny Smiles, we provide customized whitening kits that are designed to produce more exciting results, which means you can deal with significant stains that have left you without confidence in your appearance!

Make Sure Your Cavity Is Fully Treated
If a cavity forms, there will not be a way for you to stop it on your own. Dental decay is a problem that should be brought to your dentist’s attention. If it is not dealt with, you can experience issues with your oral health that gradually become more serious. Eventually, you can start to feel the unpleasant effects of an infection, which can lead to discomfort as well as further health troubles! At Sunny Smiles, we can evaluate you, make plans to restore your tooth, and perform treatment so that the cavity is no longer a problem. If you are someone who has experienced many cavity trouble in the past, we can work with you on changing your oral hygiene efforts during preventive appointments. (more…)
Regular Teeth Cleanings Protect Your Enamel
Your dental enamel is strong enough to withstand bite forces for many years. Because of this, we can enjoy a wide-ranging and nutrient-rich diet, as we can break down tougher foods without difficulty. With that said, our teeth are vulnerable to harm, particularly when we do not keep up with good oral hygiene efforts. Your daily efforts to brush and floss remove harmful microbes from your smile to prevent the onset of dental decay. In addition to this support, you can receive important care in the form of professional cleanings provided at regular dental exams. Sunny Smiles can meet with you regularly to protect your smile, and help you avoid the consequences of poor oral hygiene! (more…)
