If you or your family member’s sleep is being interrupted by harsh breathing sounds, you may have a bigger problem than snoring. Loud and persistent snoozes may be an indicator of obstructive sleep apnea, which can take a toll on your well-being. This condition can potentially harm your mental, physical, and dental health. Luckily, Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, may be able to help diagnose and treat this problem.
When you have developed unsightly stains on the surfaces of your teeth, you may wish for a brighter smile. Our team can help you with that, with a treatment that brightens smiles by several shades. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles team talks about how we offer significantly brighter smiles with our professional teeth whitening treatment.
If you frequently wake up with jaw pain, sensitive teeth, or headaches, these may be symptoms of either bruxism or temporomandibular joint disorder. The side effects of these conditions can be similar, and in some cases, patients may have both. Your Sunny Smiles dentistry in El Paso, TX, is here today to explain what these conditions are, and how your dentist may be able to help treat the problem.
Your oral health includes both maintaining the well-being of your teeth and your gums. Your oral tissue acts as a protective barrier and holds your teeth in place. When they are not healthy, it can cause problems for your entire smile. Advanced stages of periodontal disease can lead to bad breath, tooth loss, and even physical health concerns as well. If you are experiencing symptoms of gingivitis, your team at Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, can offer deep cleanings to get your oral health back on track.
Did you know that your kid’s first dentist visit should be around the age of one-year-old? While this may seem quite young, this is when their first tooth should have erupted as well. Starting checkups at this age can help them get acquainted with the dentist and team so that future cleanings and examinations can go smoothly. Your El Paso, TX, dental team offers checkups and extra protective measures to make sure that your little one’s smile is healthy.
By now, you may already be aware that you should come in for a dental checkup every six months. These should start when you are a child and continue throughout your life. But have you ever wondered why that may be? Your Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, is here today to give you three reasons to see the dentist.
Oral surgery can be anxiety-inducing for many patients. It is not an exciting task to have teeth removed, but it can prevent the need for more extensive dental work in the future. If you have been told your third molars are ready to be removed, the team at Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, can perform this procedure. You may notice that your wisdom teeth are developing if your mouth feels sensitive, swollen, or irritated. Today, we are here to explain why this is necessary and what to expect from this surgery.
A sudden toothache or mouth pain can be worrisome. While you may be tempted to take over-the-counter pain relievers and wait it out, if the problem persists, you should have the area examined as soon as possible. Your El Paso, TX, family dentist offers emergency visits for situations like these. Seeking immediate care can help determine the problem and treat it before it can develop into a worse situation.
When a bridge isn’t enough to treat your tooth loss, you may need a more substantial dental prosthetic. With a set of dentures, we can take on more severe cases and restore function, health, and beauty to your smile. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles team looks at our full and partial dentures, and explains the difference.
When you sustain a missing tooth, or as many as three in a row, then you need a prosthetic to protect your smile from major complications. To offer a lifelike solution to tooth loss, we could place a bridge. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles team talks about our traditional and implant-secured bridges!
