At Parkside Dental Care, we care about the state of your current oral health and want you to know how the choices you make today can negatively affect your oral health in the future. This is one of the reasons we are so passionate about routine dental care and visiting our office at least every six months for a routine hygiene examination and cleaning. Since we see you so infrequently during the year, caring for your oral health as well as being mindful of any changes in the state of your teeth, bite, and mouth is extremely important. These are some warning signs that may indicate you have a problem with you oral health:

Do you or someone you care about need to choose a tooth replacement option but have been struggling with making a choice? While there are many excellent choices to restore your oral health, one in particular is known for providing patients with a permanent solution that closely resembles natural teeth. Read on to learn more about why many of our patients choose dental implants. Even if you don’t need a tooth replacement now, this information could come in handy for the future.

When Is a Root Canal Necessary?

At Parkside Dental Care, we do all we can to save your natural teeth. We only have one set of teeth that are meant to last for our entire lives. Unfortunately, that is not always the case, but thankfully, we have the knowledge and ability to save as many teeth as we can. This is one of the reasons we stress the need for routine dental care. During routine appointments, we are able to spot problem areas in your mouth and recommend the right treatment. You should implement any treatment suggestions we make as soon as possible so that problems do not worsen. Dental decay will continue to get worse when not treated. A root canal is the last resort before an extraction.

Reasons Sedation Dentistry Is Beneficial

At Parkside Dental Care, we know that our office isn’t always our patients’ favorite place to visit. There are many adults who suffer from dental anxiety, and it prevents them from getting the dental care they need and deserve to ensure they have lasting oral health. Routine oral hygiene appointments are important to not only remove lingering plaque from the teeth and along the gumline, but they also allow our team to detect any problem areas in your mouth. Our teeth and gums will continue to decline without regular professional care and timely treatments when a problem is detected. If you or a loved one has been postponing your dental care due to fear or anxiety, dental sedation may be a perfect solution.

Can Tooth Enamel Become Damaged?

General Dentistry, Parkside Dental Care, Patient Education

At Parkside Dental Care, we want the best for our patients’ oral health. We want our patients to have the knowledge about their dental health to know when something doesn’t feel right in the mouth. One common issue many of our patients experience is with their tooth enamel. Enamel is the outer covering that surrounds your teeth. Tooth enamel is actually the strongest substance in your body, but it is not indestructible, especially if you are not taking care of it properly.
