Taking Home A Professional Whitening Treatment
If you have been feeling self-conscious about the quality of your smile lately because of enamel stains, you can address the matter with your dentist’s help. Many people can become concerned that whitening agents only have a limited effect, based on the results of products they purchased over the counter. What you should know is that your dentist can supply you with a whitening treatment that can attack even stains that have settled into your enamel. In fact, you can pick up products from your dentist that you can use from the comfort of your own home! If you are ready to see your smile return to its former brilliance, talk to your dentist about receiving a professional whitening kit. (more…)
Do Dental Visits Make Your Child Nervous?
How much coercing and arguing goes into your typical effort to bring your child to see their dentist? While many children have no problem going to the dentist, other can experience feelings of anxiety about it (of course, the same can be said of adults, too). One way to improve the odds of your child feeling comfortable at the dentist is to start their visits early. Children who start seeing their dentist at a younger age can be made to feel more at ease about oral care. Parents are encouraged to bring their child in for their first visit by around their second birthday. (more…)
You Might Have A Cavity And Not Realize It
A cavity forms when bacteria on your teeth have harmed your enamel to the point that an opening is created. Once this occurs, your enamel will not be able to recover on its own, and you will need to undergo a restorative dental treatment. So how is it possible that something like this can escape your notice? You may overlook a cavity in its early stages because it is hard for you to see, and it will not attack the tooth’s nerves until it grows more severe. If you want to improve your chances of catching a cavity before it becomes serious enough to grab your attention, make sure you keep up with regular dental exams. (more…)

Why Does Tooth Loss Affect A Person’s Jawbone?
Your teeth are securely embedded in your jawbone. The stability this arrangement provides helps make it possible for your teeth to stay in position when you take on the impact of biting and chewing food. In return for providing this support, your jawbone benefits because the stimulation created from biting and chewing helps to sustain proper blood flow to the bone, so its needed nutrients are delivered. What happens if that stimulation goes away? For people who have suffered tooth loss, this is more than just a hypothetical – if you lose teeth, and lose that stimulation, your jawbone can begin to deteriorate. Securing a prosthetic with a dental implant can protect you against this problem. (more…)
