The Best Way To Prevent Cavities
With all that is going on in the world, you may be thinking, “What are the best ways to maintain my health, including my dental health?” While it’s well known that keeping a consistent dental hygiene regimen of daily flossing and brushing, cutting back on sugary foods is also a great way to help prevent cavities. Read on to find out more ways to keep your teeth healthy.
A Protective Layer
Most people think that brushing and flossing should be enough to prevent cavities. Unfortunately, sometimes it isn’t, especially for molars. The back teeth that are the core of the chewing process have a rough and uneven surface that becomes the perfect nest for leftover food and cavity-causing bacteria.
Dental Care For Your Young Child
Establishing good dental hygiene habits should begin at a young age. As soon as your child is able to understand, you can start talking to them about the importance of their teeth and how they need to be cared for every day. Giving them the knowledge and tools to care for their teeth early on will set them up for a lifetime of good health and decrease their chances of dental problems in the future.

Common dental problems such as chipped, cracked and discolored teeth are small issues that can be effectively resolved with a simple procedure that you might not know about.

Back to Basics
Most people take their teeth and gums for granted until something like a cavity, signs of gum disease, or other dental issue needs to be addressed. Our dental team always works to help prevent these conditions in our patients. Here are some basic tips on caring for your oral health to help avoid painful and inconvenient dental conditions.
Help The Child In Your Life
February is National Children’s Dental Health Month — a month dedicated to highlighting the importance of early dental care to children and their caregivers. We know it’s not always easy to get young kids to brush their teeth, but we would like to offer you some tips on how to set your child up for a lifetime of good dental health habits.
Effectively Restore the Look of Your Teeth
Do you wish could change the shape of your teeth? Are you tired of dealing with cracked or chipped teeth? Dental veneers are a solution for such issues. Veneers are customized shells made of porcelain that are attached to the front of your teeth in order to change their appearance. The dental veneer is a versatile, minimally invasive treatment option for a wide variety of dental issues.
It’s good to know the signs
We hope your new year is off to a great start. Here in the office, it’s our goal every year to help keep our patients’ dental health in check. During your routine checkups, we take time to not only clean your teeth but to check for any signs of dental issues. In particular, we want to make sure we catch a certain oral disease before it progresses and causes complications such as tooth loss. Continue reading to find out more.
Half of Adult Americans Have This Disease
One of the most important things you can do to maintain your oral health — and overall health — is to practice good oral hygiene at home. Brushing and flossing your teeth twice a day has a bigger impact than you may think. Without it, plaque and food can build up on your teeth, resulting in bacteria that hardens into tartar. Left untreated, tartar can irritate the gums and lead to gum disease, otherwise known as periodontal disease. Unfortunately, it is a common disease. A study by the Center for Disease Control found that half of adult Americans have some kind of periodontal disease.
