Without routine care, children’s smiles could become susceptible to tooth decay, gingivitis, and other serious oral health concerns. To help ensure healthy smiles for all ages in El Paso, TX, our team may suggest preventive treatment options. In today’s blog, we’re going to look at two very different preventive treatments to help protect smiles from cavities.
Cavities impact people of all ages. Whether you’re a child or an adult, our habits and diet could lead to the onset of cavities. If you develop tooth decay, what treatments will you need to avoid serious complications? To prevent the onset of a dental infection, we may treat a cavity in just one visit with a dental filling. In today’s blog, we’re going to look at how we treat cavities with this lifelike dental restoration.
In our last blog, we took a closer look at checkups and why kids and adults both benefit from them. In today’s blog, we would like to focus on another vital preventive treatment: dental cleanings. Our routine cleanings and scaling and root planings can improve the health of your smile and stave off gum disease. When should you see your El Paso, TX, dentist to have your teeth cleaned?
Pretty soon your little ones will be heading back to school. Which means right now your schedule is pretty hectic, with many parents sprinting to pick up school supplies and new clothes before the new school year begins. To ensure your child starts the year with a healthy and bright smile, be sure to also make time for a back-to-school checkup and cleaning with your El Paso, TX, dentist.
Of all the dental procedures out there, few have been given an undeserved reputation like the root canal. Far from the terrifying procedure jokes and sitcoms have made this treatment out to be, root canal therapy is comfortable, safe, and crucial for preventing the loss of infected teeth. In today’s blog, we’re going to look at how we save teeth in El Paso, TX, with root canal therapy.
For teens and young adults, the arrival of wisdom teeth could mean major changes to the smile, from the onset to misalignment to infection as a result of impaction (partial eruption). However, with a dental extraction, your El Paso, TX, dentists can remove the teeth and prevent the onset of impaction and other complications.
People of all ages, from toddlers to adults, could develop cavities, which eventually threaten a smile’s comfort and stability. But what about children with baby teeth? Often, parents ask if these teeth truly need treatment, after all, they’re just going to fall out, right? In today’s blog, we’re explaining to parents in El Paso, TX, why even baby teeth need fillings!
If you think something might be wrong with your oral health, you should make a trip to see your dentist a priority. In many instances, a problem might refer to symptoms of gum disease, or the detection of a cavity at your last routine dental appointment. With that said, you could find yourself in sudden need of care because of a dental injury. Our El Paso, TX dental practice understands that injuries can happen, and that you can find yourself in urgent need of an appointment. During emergency dental work, you can receive important services to restore your tooth’s health, while also addressing visible effects of dental damage. (more…)
When a cavity forms, and damages your enamel, a restoration is needed to permanently provide support for your tooth. At our El Paso, TX dental practice, we have provided many patients with metal-free dental fillings in order to address this harm. While you can be understandably happy to hear that you will not have a conspicuous metal restoration visible in your smile, you may be unclear on what, exactly, you can expect from a metal-free filling. These restorations are made with a biocompatible resin material that blends in with your surrounding enamel, so you can be free from concerns that dental work will noticeably alter your smile. Because the material is biocompatible, it can bond directly with your tooth structure, which provides a remarkably strong bond. (more…)
Your child’s school supplies have been purchased, you know what classroom they need to visit, and their back-to-school clothes are all picked out. Is there anything you still need to worry about when the new school year begins? If you are not keeping up with pediatric dental appointments, you could be sending them off to class with unidentified dental problems. While these issues may not cause issues for them today, they can worsen to the point where they start causing real complications. At our El Paso, TX dental practice, we welcome young patients for pediatric dental exams. (more…)
