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.
Bringing your child to the dentist is just as important as your visits. These children’s dental visits help create good habits, prevent problems such as cavities, and ensure a healthy smile. Your kiddo’s needs will slightly differ from your own, which is why it is important to have a team of professionals that can tailor to their needs. At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we offer care for your entire family, including your children.
It is no secret that your gingival tissue is important to your oral hygiene. Your gums protect your teeth, keep them in place, and help form your smile. To maintain healthy gingival tissue, and a healthy oral cavity overall, it is important to brush and floss twice a day and see your dentist every six months. If you begin to notice a change in your smile, your dentist can help diagnose and treat the problem. Issues such as gingivitis and periodontal disease can be treated or maintained with scaling and root planing. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry is here to explain how this can help you.
If you tend to breathe loudly in your sleep, you may be harming the quality of your rest and your family members as well. Although this is a common problem for many adults, it can be a sign of something more serious. At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we can help you treat this problem and more.
Your smile is one of the first features people will notice when they see you. Having a symmetrical and even grin can boost your confidence, but when other cosmetic treatments like professional whitening or braces do not give you the results you are looking for, it can be disappointing. At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, Texas, we have a variety of options to help you achieve your desired look. If you are in search of a permanent solution that will improve the shape and brightness of your pearly whites, porcelain veneers may be a great option for you.
In recent blogs, we have talked about different cosmetic dentistry options to enhance your smile. Some patients may be looking for an option outside of professional whitening or bonding. At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we offer gum contouring as well. This is a method to even your gingival tissue, allowing for a more symmetrical smile. In today’s blog, we are here to explain what gum contouring is and what to expect from this procedure.
In our last blog, we talked about how professional teeth whitening can help remove stains and brighten your smile. While this is a great option, this may not be the best solution for everyone. At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we know that every patient has different needs they would like to address. Other cosmetic dental services may help them achieve the effect they are looking for. In our office, we offer several means of esthetic enhancements, including bonding and contouring. This minimally invasive treatment is effective and long-lasting and can be done in just one appointment.
