The regular appointments you schedule with your dentist offer an important line of defense against dental decay. What they also do is help you avoid potential problems with your periodontal health. Gum disease can pose a bigger threat than you realize. In time, an infection can become so serious that you run the risk of tooth loss as well as complications that hurt your general health. At Sunny Smiles, patients are regularly updated on the state of their teeth as well as their gums. These appointments are important for helping you maintain your overall smile health, as they provide early warnings as well as cleanings that help you remain in good health. (more…)

How TMJ Therapy Improves Bite Function
While some foods are certainly tougher to bite and chew through than others, your general experience with dental function should be comfortable.

Bothered By A Toothache? A Root Canal Can Help
When your tooth starts to hurt, you can have some understandable concerns about what the discomfort might mean for your oral health. A brief issue with discomfort can be unrelated to any dental problems, but a persistent or serious ache can certainly be connected to issues that call for restorative dental work. An appointment at Sunny Smiles can provide you with feedback about the condition of an aching tooth; we may need to provide a root canal in order to resolve problems with an infection. Doing so will clear out bacteria and infected tissues, stopping problems with an advanced cavity or injury and restoring the health of your tooth. After this, we can provide a dental crown to offer lasting support. (more…)
