General
Understanding oral hygiene basics allows people to better care for their teeth. They pertain to the entirety of the mouth, including the gums, cheeks, and tongue. Oral health is critical to the body’s overall health.
Periodontal Therapy
Preventative dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health in order to prevent the spread of plaque, the formation of tartar and the onset of gingivitis and periodontal disease.
Tooth Extraction
While it is best to preserve a natural tooth, there are times when a tooth extraction is necessary. An extraction may be the best option to maintain oral health due to trauma, disease and crowding.
Research has shown chronic dental infections can cause inflammation that contributes to cardiovascular disease, stroke and many other diseases, while a root canal can often save a tooth from decay, sometimes a tooth is beyond saving due to lost structure and stability. Tooth extraction can prevent damaging decay and infection from spreading.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal treatment involves removing the damaged pulp and nerves from inside the tooth to eliminate bacteria and prevent the infection from spreading.
Fillings
A cavity is a hole in a tooth caused by acid from bacteria in the mouth. If left untreated, a cavity can lead to pain, infection and potential loss of the tooth.
Night Guard / Bruxism Treatment
Bruxism is a condition in which you may unconsciously clench or grind your teeth when you are awake or during sleep, causing chipped, or cracked teeth, headaches and jaw pain.
