When Should I Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Wisdom teeth are often extracted, and can even be removed before they are fully erupted. This is because many people lack the space for these teeth, which means their arrival will create problems for their other teeth. You can experience crowding when your third molars press against their neighbors, or even damage from the pressure their arrival can cause. It is also possible for these teeth to become impacted, meaning they will not erupt fully. At Sunny Smiles, we can alert you to the movement of your wisdom teeth and make a plan for their proper removal.

What To Do If Your Filling Feels Loose
A dental filling protects the area of your tooth affected by a cavity. Unfortunately, the damage to this area will be permanent, which means that you will always need the support of a restoration. The good news is that your treatment provides lasting support for your tooth even as you rely on it to bite and chew. If you have a filling that no longer feels secure, or if you feel discomfort, you should have the restoration evaluated. In addition to providing lifelike dental fillings as part of cavity treatment, Sunny Smiles can work with patients who might need replacements for older restorations.

Consistent Teeth Cleanings Protect Your Smile
How do you deal with tartar buildup? At home, you can prevent the formation of this material by consistently brushing and flossing, which removes plaque buildup before tartar can form. Unfortunately, once a deposit has formed, it will remain in place in spite of your oral hygiene routine. However, you can still protect your smile against this accumulation, as your hygienist can take care of it during your next scheduled teeth cleaning and examination. Patients at Sunny Smiles can look forward to consistent preventive dental care, which controls their risks for problems that can lead to the need for restorative dental work. When necessary, we can also identify problems that already call for restorative work, then provide the appropriate care to put a stop the the trouble you face. (more…)
