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.
Do you have a toothache that doesn’t go away after a day or two? Then your persistent pain could be a sign of tooth decay or possibly an indicator of an infected tooth. Attention is needed to prevent the loss of your tooth and to stop discomfort. In today’s blog, your team at Sunny Smiles talks about toothaches and cavities.
In our last blog, we talked about how tooth-colored fillings help restore your smile after a cavity. In some cases, you may not need to repair the decay right away. However, waiting too long can cause the cavity to continue growing. This can cause discomfort and sensitivity when eating. If you put off getting a filling, you may need a root canal. Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso, TX, is here today to explain how this restoration can save your damaged tooth.
Cavities are one of the most common dental problems that patients face. They can cause sensitivity when eating, toothaches, and can even cause discoloration. If you have a cavity, your dentist will be able to see it during your cleaning and exam. It is important to treat decay as soon as possible to prevent further damage from occurring. At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we use biocompatible resin to fill cavities and restore your smile.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder affects thousands of people. Although this is a fairly common condition with seemingly mild symptoms, you should not put off treatment. Many people may believe that treating TMJ involves invasive surgeries, but the solution can be simple. Your Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso, Texas, can create a custom oral appliance to address this problem. In today’s blog, we’re here to discuss how TMD impacts your dental health, and how you can treat it.
