Do Your Gums Need Extra Care?
Do your gums suddenly appear discolored or have they become easily irritated? Many people stop flossing if they notice bleeding, wrongly believing that this is indication that flossing itself is the problem. On the contrary, gums that bleed easily are one early warning sign of gingivitis, the first stage of gum disease. If your gums appear dark red or purple, instead of light pink (as healthy gums should appear) you could also be struggling with gingivitis. Fortunately, there are ways a general dentist can help restore your gums’ health, which is essential to maintaining a healthy smile! Remember, the gums are a crucial part of a healthy and beautiful smile, so make sure yours are getting the preventive dental care they need to remain strong and sturdy for your teeth. (more…)
Address Dental Damage with a Seamless Restoration
Are you frustrated by the fact that you recently suffered a trauma that left one or several of your teeth visibly damaged, such as chipped or cracked?

So if you are concerned you have damaged a tooth, it is time to seek restorative treatment that could allow you to smile confidently once again. (more…)
Your Child Might Need Restorative Dental Treatment
Most parents make sure their kids brush their teeth at least twice a day, and take them for regular checkups. Unfortunately, many school-aged children will still struggle with dental caries, commonly called cavities. Both genetic factors and dietary choices can impact a person’s oral health, including his or her likelihood of developing dental caries. A diet high in added sugar, for instance, is far more likely to lead to cavities. Since many Americans consume a great deal of added sugar, cavities are the most common dental problem for children and adults, alike. Fortunately, restorative treatment makes it possible to bounce back from cavities, and to restore the oral health. So if you suspect your child might have a cavity, it is time to take him or her for restorative treatment. (more…)

When you look in the mirror, is the first thing you see the staining on your teeth? Discoloration can be a huge source of dental insecurity, causing otherwise beautiful smiles to look aged and even dingy. Sadly, most smiles will begin to appear stained over time, due to the porous nature of the teeth’s enamel. Fortunately, professional teeth whitening makes it possible to erase much of this staining, allowing for noticeably whiter smiles. So while it is impossible to turn back time, professional teeth whitening can help reverse the signs of aging where your teeth are concerned. In turn, that can help you feel and look your best and brightest, regardless of your age! (more…)
