When it comes to your dental health, there are more concerns than cavities or bad breath. You may not know it, but you could be grinding your teeth in your sleep. If you frequently wake up feeling tired, have headaches, or an aching pain around your face, you may have TMD or bruxism. These disorders are often found together and can cause problems for your physical and dental health. Your Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, is here today to explain how we can help with these problems.
When it comes to your oral health, it is important that you do not neglect your gums. This tissue acts as a barrier to infections and holds your teeth in place. You should be flossing twice a day, along with brushing your teeth. This can prevent problems like gingivitis which can cause the gingival tissue to swell, bleed, and can even be the cause of your bad breath. At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we are here to help keep your gingival tissue and teeth healthy with preventive care and periodontal cleanings when necessary.
In our last blog, we talked about how checkups can protect you from common dental problems. This is true for your child, too. Along with regular cleanings, you should be helping your little one care for their smiles at home. This can help prevent cavities and ensure they have healthy smiles. In today’s blog, your El Paso, Texas, dentist is here to help you teach your little one the best habits that they can create for a lifetime.
There is a reason we visit the dentist every six months. These checkups help detect for early signs of cavities, gingivitis, misalignment, and many more problems. Early prevention can help decrease potential treatment time and save you time, money, and discomfort in the future. Today, Sunny Smile’s Family Dentistry in El Paso is here to remind you to schedule your cleaning.
You should see our team for a checkup and cleaning every six months to keep your smile healthy and strong. But you also need to care for your smile in between these appointments! In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles team talks about proper brushing and flossing habits.
A tooth-related injury can happen to anybody at any time. Even with the best of care, you may accidentally harm one of your pearly whites. It is important to know what to do during this situation so that you can get the help you need in time. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso, TX, is here with tips on handling urgent dental care. This can help you stay calm during a stressful situation and know what to expect.
Have you been told you need your third molars removed? These teeth grow during your older teenage years, hence the nickname “wisdom” teeth. Our molars are used to help us chew food, but this third set can cause problems with your alignment since they come in later. It is a common practice to remove these teeth to prevent problems such as cavities or impaction. Today, your Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, is here to explain the process of extracting these teeth.
When you are missing permanent teeth, several problems can arise. You may not feel as confident in your smile, your teeth can begin to shift out of place, and more may even fall out if not properly supported. At Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso, Texas, we have several methods to help you achieve a full smile again. We offer bridges, dentures, and implants so that all patients have a way to restore their teeth. If you are unsure of what the best method is for yourself, read today’s blog to learn more about how these solutions differ.
In our last blog, we talked about what you should do if you hurt your tooth. If you suffer from a break or chip, a dental crown can be placed to restore the area. However, if the problem is more severe, we may need to remove the entire tooth and replace it. Whether you have gaps in between your teeth from accidents like this, or other problems, we can help you have a full smile again. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, talks about how bridges or dentures can replace missing teeth.
If you have cracked, chipped, or broken one of your pearly whites, it is crucial that you see your dentist as soon as possible. Although the injury may not look severe, ignoring the problem can lead to the damage worsening. This can cause more severe harm and may even put you at risk of infection. A dental crown can be placed to repair and strengthen your natural tooth. Today your Sunny Smiles Dentistry of El Paso, TX, is here to explain the process of this restoration technique.
