Finding The Right Dentist For Your Kids
As your child grows up, their smile and oral structures will change and mature. As wonderful as it can be to watch how their smile develops, they will need help developing a good commitment to oral hygiene to properly protect it. Parents certainly play a valuable role in the formation of their hygiene habits, but remember that kids also benefit from regularly seeing their dentist.

Wisdom Teeth Removal To Protect Your Smile
Typically, our goals during dental work include the preservation of your complete smile. Even when you have to have a tooth extracted, we can recommend treatment with a prosthetic to serve as a replacement. However, that approach changes when we are dealing with the arrival of your wisdom teeth. The arrival of these teeth can actually hurt your appearance as well as your oral health; the longer it takes you to do something about their eruption, the more likely they are to affect both. At Sunny Smiles, we can take care of you by carefully extracting these teeth to stop them from crowding and damaging teeth, and to prevent problems with their partial or obstructed eruption. (more…)

Smile Changes Made By Veneers And Crowns
There are different problems concerning your smile that Sunny Smiles is prepared to help you address. Sometimes, we can actually identify trouble before you are aware something is wrong. At a routine dental exam, you can learn that you need restorative treatment for dental decay before you have issues with discomfort or changes to your appearance. However, there are times when patients set appointments because they have concerns to bring to our attention. Based on the condition of teeth that concern you, we can discuss treatment with porcelain veneers to change the shapes and sizes of teeth that are worn or misshapen, or we can plan restorative work with crowns to address more serious problems.

Care Provided At A General Dental Visit
General dental visits have an important role to play in your overall efforts at smile care. Hopefully, you already take time out of each day to thoroughly clean your teeth via brushing and flossing. You should provide additional support by sticking to a diet that is low in sugar. While these measures certainly matter, it can be hard to see the full benefits of care when you do not schedule preventive appointments. The trips you make to Sunny Smiles for general care will provide you with important updates about your oral health. They will also include thorough teeth cleanings that remove harmful plaque and tartar, which will lower your risk for trouble in the future. (more…)

Patients who come to Sunny Smiles for preventive services can count on effective support against different oral health threats.

Root Canal Treatment And Your Oral Health
Sometimes, the only way to save a tooth from a cavity involves treatment within the structure itself. As bacteria do increasing harm to your enamel, they can make their way into your pulp, the central portion of your tooth that houses living tissues. When harmful microbes attack these tissues, it can cause you discomfort and make you more sensitive to hot and cold temperatures. If you do not undergo root canal treatment to address the matter, the problem can worsen to the point where your tooth actually has to be extracted in order to restore your oral health! Sunny Smiles is prepared to help when you find yourself dealing with this kind of problem. The sooner you say something about discomfort, the sooner you can arrange the appropriate treatment to stop an advanced cavity. (more…)
