When a patient hears that they will need a more invasive treatment, like root canal therapy (RCT), it may cause them to worry. These procedures often have a negative association with pain or discomfort. However, restoring a damaged or severely decayed tooth can save you from more serious problems in the future. In today’s blog, Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso, TX, is here to explain the purpose of RCT and its benefits.
It is estimated that nearly 90 percent of all adults in the U.S. have had at least one cavity in their lifetime, which means it is likely that you are familiar with how they are treated. Fillings are used as a way to stop the progression of decay and protect your pearly whites. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso, TX, is here to explain why this process is essential to your dental health.
With so many cosmetic treatments available to patients, it can be overwhelming to know which are right for you. Professional teeth whitening can brighten your smile, and bonding can disguise minor blemishes. You can even pair these services with gum contouring, which gently reshapes your gingival tissue. This can help your grin appear to be more symmetrical. In today’s blog, your El Paso, TX, dentist will explain the benefits of this treatment and what to expect during this process.
In our last blog, we talked about professional teeth-whitening services available to our patients. This is a great option for people with extrinsic stains on their pearly whites. However, if you have deeper discoloration or other blemishes, teeth whitening will not be able to improve these problems. Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, offers other cosmetic treatments to enhance the look of your grin. One of these methods is bonding and contouring.
Do you find yourself hiding your smile in pictures? If you have stained teeth, you may feel self-conscious about your grin. This discoloration can be due to your favorite food and drinks, genetics, and other factors. Luckily, there is a way to remove these stains safely. Today, your Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso, TX, is here to talk about professional brightening treatments available to patients.
Whether you produce loud sounds while you slumber, or you hear your family member’s snores, this sleep disorder can be a nuisance to the entire household. Aside from the low-quality rest you get from your blocked airways at night, snoring can negatively impact your health. In today’s blog, Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso, TX, is here to debunk common myths about this problem and guide you in getting the help you need.
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.
