Bravery for Your Root Canal


About Me

Bravery for Your Root Canal

No one enjoys serious dental procedures like a root canal, but many people outright ignore their dental health because they're too anxious or afraid to go through treatment. I did the very same thing myself when my dentist told me one of my molars could only be saved by a quick root canal. I ended up losing the tooth because I put off the treatment too many times out of fear. Now I work hard to encourage other dental patients to find ways to overcome their anxiety so they can get the care they need and save their teeth before it's too late.

For some people, dental braces can be a fashion statement. For you—perhaps not so much. The prospect of several years with visible metal components bonded to your teeth might not be appealing. You know that you need orthodontic treatment, and while you're exploring your options, you're hoping that the best option will be an orthodontic treatment that's barely visible—or better yet, totally invisible.

Not Pretty in Pink: Why Has Your Child’s Tooth Turned from White to Pink?

As a parent, you tend to monitor your child's teeth for discoloration, even without realizing it. Sure, with younger children, you'll still be supervising or assisting them when they brush their teeth, so any strange color changes or stains will be quickly noticed. With older children, any changes to the color of their teeth will be spotted when they speak or smile. Yellow, diet-induced staining is possible in children, as are brown patches of discoloration (which can suggest dental plaque)—and this warrants a trip to the dentist. Read More

Tooth implant surgery is an invasive treatment procedure. However, the long-term benefits of the treatment are hard to ignore. Implants prevent bone loss and restore your youthful appearance. They also offer a lasting solution, unlike dentures, since you don't need to replace them after some time. But do you experience pain or discomfort during and after the surgery?

Benefits Of Considering Invisalign

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment for teeth that appear misaligned.

They can fit in perfectly because they are customized to rectify your bite and alignment condition. Read More
