How Checkups Help Kids Protect Their Teeth
Teaching your kids to practice good oral hygiene habits is important, and it will have long-term benefits.

Helping Patients Who Want Whiter Teeth
You can find it hard to ignore the way dental discoloration has changed your smile.

How Wisdom Teeth Cause Discomfort
Simply by erupting, your wisdom teeth can create several problems for your smile. Their movement can cause considerable discomfort, as these teeth can press against their neighbors to cause damage as well as crowding. Your troubles can worsen further if your wisdom teeth become impacted. Sunny Smiles is prepared to help patients who need to arrange an extraction. We can safely remove your wisdom teeth before you experience complications. If yours have not yet been removed, regular dental exams can give you helpful updates about when an extraction might need to occur to prevent problems. (more…)
Don’t Skip Your Regular Teeth Cleanings!
Are you brushing often enough? Do you do a good job of making flossing part of your daily routine? If so, you are maintaining an important line of defense for your smile. Throughout each day, our teeth are vulnerable to the buildup of harmful oral bacteria as well as food debris from our meals and snacks. Good daily habits help you fight their accumulation, which lowers your risk for problems with tartar buildup, dental decay, and gingivitis. With that being said, your preventive care should not come from you alone, as the services that your dentist provides are also important. Sunny Smiles provides beneficial teeth cleanings and exams for patients of all ages, which help control the buildup of tartar that can cause more risks for dental trouble over time. (more…)
Is There Still Time For A Dental Filling?
When it comes to cavity treatment, your timing will matter. Those who wait too long to schedule treatment run the risk of letting the damage to their tooth worsen until more advanced care is needed.

At Sunny Smiles, we can make sure your oral health needs are fully addressed in either scenario. In both cases, we can provide restorations that actually imitate healthy tooth structure to preserve the way you look after a procedure. (more…)

While Sunny Smiles is here to help when you have a potentially severe dental problem, you can also count on us to help you avoid these issues.
