A cracked tooth might not always be as obvious as you’d expect it to be. You may not see all of the fracture, or any of it at all, and some fractured teeth don’t always hurt at first. Even if you notice and feel your cracked tooth, you may not realize just how important it is to address it, or what your best option for doing so may be. In severe cases, a dental crown may be the best way to fix your cracked tooth and restore its ability to function. However, for more minor cases of tooth damage, you may benefit from a more conservative restoration. (more…)
How Bad Is Your Tooth Decay?
To many people who have it, tooth decay doesn’t seem that bad. Aside from a minor feeling of tooth sensitivity, they may not even realize that anything is wrong with the tooth at first. However, those that experience more severe tooth decay may realize the threat in the form of much more severe tooth pain, as well as noticeable erosion of the tooth’s structure. In many cases, the only difference between minor and severe tooth decay is time; with enough of it, a seemingly minor cavity can turn into a more serious case of internal tooth decay before you realize it.

Is It Possible to Prevent Teeth Stains?
The point of preventive dental care, including your daily dental hygiene routine, is to protect your smile by preventing some of the more common types of dental problems from developing. For instance, both tooth decay and gum disease can have many contributing factors, but they form specifically when oral bacteria are allowed to infect your teeth or gums (respectively). While you can largely prevent these concerns, there are some less minor developments that you might not be able to. One of these is the gradual staining of your teeth after years of constant use and exposure to foods and beverages. (more…)
What to Eat for Better Oral Health
There are many different ways you can take good care of your smile, and probably some ways in which you can improve how well you take care of it now. However, next to the importance of good dental hygiene, other things can often seem less important. For instance, when it comes to keeping your teeth strong and healthy, brushing and flossing them every day is only half the battle. Like the rest of your body, your teeth also need an ample supply of essential minerals and nutrients to remain healthy, and many of them have to be introduced through your diet. (more…)
What Could Happen if You Ignore Good Hygiene?
You can successfully protect and preserve your smile without a good dental hygiene routine. Most people recognize this, and yet, many common dental concerns (like tooth decay and gum disease) still affect a large percentage of people of all ages. In many cases, it isn’t for lack of effort, but rather the fact that many people have forgotten or never understood what it takes for a hygiene routine to be considered a good one. Today, we help refresh your memory, as well as examine what could happen if you ignore the principles of consistently good hygiene and preventive care. (more…)

How to Save a Tooth That’s Structurally Damaged
While preventive dentistry is the foundation of keeping your smile consistently healthy, the art of restoring a tooth that’s been compromised can be just as important. Healthy, natural tooth structure is incredibly resilient, and able to withstand enormous amounts of pressure. However, your tooth structure can become damaged (i.e., fractured, worn down, or broken) in several different ways. When this occurs, the damage to your tooth will not resolve itself. In fact, the only way to save the tooth is to restore it, which will allow you to continue biting and chewing on the tooth without it becoming even more compromised. (more…)

Why Are Modern Fillings Tooth-Colored?
Patients who have cavities and need fillings to treat them often expect their fillings to be made of metal. That’s largely because metal fillings have been the typical cavity treatment for over a century. However, many patients are often surprised to learn that they can successfully treat their cavities with more discreet and biocompatible tooth-colored fillings. Instead of being made from metal and shining conspicuously against the appearance of your teeth, a tooth-colored filling is designed to blend in with your tooth’s appearance and remain virtually undetectable after it’s placed within your cavity.
