How Restorative Treatment Addresses A Persistent Toothache

A toothache can feel intrusive at all times, but it can be especially hard to tolerate when you try to eat or drink. If the issue is ignored, the pain can intensify as the health of the tooth worsens. Fortunately, the matter can be addressed with the appropriate restorative dental treatment. Our Celina, TX dentist’s office is prepared to take on your problem through root canal therapy. This procedure is recommended whenever there is an issue within your tooth that needs attention. By performing the root canal, your dentist will be able to remove infected tissues and bacteria to stop your pain, and also to stop an infection from spreading further. Once this procedure has taken place, we can make plans to protect the tooth by securing it with a custom dental crown. (more…)

Make Sure You Stick To A Smile-Friendly Morning Routine

healthy breakfastYour morning routine can set your mood for the day. Some people are natural early risers who make the most of their time before their responsibilities need to be addressed, while others struggle to fully awaken unless they enjoy every minute of sleep available to them. No matter what your start to the day usually looks like, it should include time spent cleaning your smile. When we sleep, our bodies reduce saliva production, which allows any oral bacteria present in our mouths to multiply with less interference. If you frequently wake up with “morning breath,” this can be why. Cleaning your teeth thoroughly when your day begins fights this buildup. You can also protect your teeth by making smart choices at the breakfast table and limiting your sugar intake. Remember that our Celina, TX dentist’s office is happy to offer tips and guidance on daily care when you come in for routine dental appointments. (more…)
