Cavities are one of the most common oral health concerns that patients experience. This problem can be prevented with a good oral hygiene routine and consistent checkups. However, you may still experience a cavity even when you do your best to keep your teeth healthy. Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, can help restore your tooth after decay with fillings or a root canal.
Being unhappy with your smile’s appearance can affect your self-esteem. If you have misshapen teeth or your smile appears dull, it can lead to low confidence in yourself. You may not want to show off your pearly whites in pictures or when meeting new people. Luckily, your team at Sunny Smiles can help improve your look with our cosmetic dental treatments. Today, we’re here to talk about porcelain veneers.
Professional whitening is a popular and effective way to remove surface-level stains. But what do you do if your teeth do not respond to this treatment? If your pearly whites have intrinsic damage or imperfections, a bleaching agent may not be able to lift the discoloration. This can be frustrating, but there are alternative methods available for our patients. Today, the team at Sunny Smiles explores bonding and contouring as another way to boost your appearance.
Frequent checkups and a consistent oral hygiene routine can help keep your teeth clean and cavity-free. However, this does not necessarily help keep them looking bright. In some cases, factors like aging, genetics, and external causes can lead to your teeth becoming discolored. This may cause you to feel self-conscious about the appearance of your smile. Your Sunny Smiles team offers professional teeth whitening options to help safely remove these stains. Today, we are here to explore how in-office and at-home brightening methods work.
Many people believe that the harsh breathing sounds you make as you sleep are normal. However, this is actually untrue. Frequent and severe snoring could be an indicator of a sleep disorder or other concern. These conditions can affect your overall well-being, from your oral health to your physical health. Today, the team at Sunny Smiles is here to explore what may be the cause of your obstructed breathing.
Chronic teeth grinding and jaw pain are fairly common problems for many patients. Many people may notice symptoms like headaches, tooth sensitivity, or facial pain that they simply ignore or try to relieve on their own. However, if you experience these side effects on a daily basis, it could be a sign of a severe condition. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles team explores what these disorders are and how we can help treat them.
What comes to mind when you think of your oral health? For many patients, the first thing they think of is their teeth. Brushing your teeth twice a day is an essential part of caring for your smile, but there are other important steps to include. It’s important to take care of your gums by flossing each day to prevent plaque buildup. Today, your team at Sunny Smiles is here to remind you to take care of your gums!
In yesterday’s blog, we mentioned that it is important to see your dentist biannually for a checkup. These routine visits are just as important for kids as they are for adults! Your Sunny Smiles team is here today to explain the many benefits of preventive dental care for kids. By starting at a young age, you can help your child learn the importance of taking care of their teeth and gums.
When was the last time you saw your dentist? As a general rule, you should come in twice a year for a cleaning and examination. In some cases, your dentist may recommend that you come in more often. Before you get started on planning your summer activities and vacations, bring your family members in for their biannual checkups. This can help ensure that their smiles are healthy and can reduce the risk of needing emergency care later. Today, your Sunny Smiles team is here to explain why these visits are so important.
Most of your teeth will have fully grown by the time you reach adulthood. However, our third molars (wisdom teeth) come in a bit later. Usually, these structures come in during your late teen years or early twenties. You may notice symptoms like swelling to your gums, sensitivity when chewing, or headaches. When this happens, your dentist may recommend having them removed. Today, your Sunny Smiles team explains why your third molars are extracted.
