Tracking Their Wisdom Teeth Development

Posted by

wisdom teeth el paso txAre you keeping up with your teen’s dental appointments? Children have some of the same needs as adults, but they also have some additional ones that are specific to them. By sticking close to their oral health team, you give yourself the opportunity to help your child to grow into a healthy and happy smile. One of the most important things to keep an eye on is the development of their wisdom teeth, which can pose serious problems if ignored.

With our caring team at Sunny Smiles, you and your child can be ready for their third set of molars. These evolutionary holdovers can push their existing teeth out of alignment or even cause enamel damage, so be sure to keep them up to date with their checkups. We can use advanced imagery to track their development, and if it’s time for their wisdom teeth to go, we can walk you through the extraction process. Stay on top of their oral health needs by calling our office today to make an appointment.

Crack A Tooth At Thanksgiving?

Posted by

crack a tooth at thanksgiving el paso txIt happens. Once you’ve injured one or more of your natural teeth, there is little that can be done on your own, so it’s time to reach out to a trusted local dentist to find out more about your options. Doing this quickly after the event can be a real help, as well; while you wait, bacteria start making their way to the fleshy interior of the tooth. If they reach the nerve within the pulp, it can cause a seriously painful toothache.

Here at Sunny Smiles, we understand the importance of keeping up with your smile. We also know that sometimes, dental damage can happen, and we’re here to help you find your repair after cracking or breaking a tooth. With a range of restoration solutions, you have the opportunity to renew your smile for both your appearance and your oral health.

When Your Snoring Becomes More

Posted by

snoring snore el paso txDo your loved ones mention your loud or aggressive snoring? If they’ve started to bring it up, they might have a real point. Snoring could be a sign of a common sleep disorder called chronic obstructive sleep apnea, and if it is, then it puts your health at risk. This condition happens when the tissue of your throat becomes a little too soft during sleep, allowing it to block your airway. Without treatment, sleep apnea can cause some serious health conditions, increasing risk of heart attack and stroke.

That’s why, at Sunny Smiles, we help patients to experience deeper and more restful slumber through the use of oral appliance therapy. This approach provides an alternative of other forms of treatment such as CPAP, giving people an opportunity to toss their old hoses and masks. If you have been avoiding the discussion because of the intrusion and noise of traditional OSA treatment, ask about whether an oral appliance is right for you.

Enhance your rest. Let’s talk about your sleep apnea!
