Save Your Tooth Month is a perfect opportunity to emphasize the importance of preserving your natural teeth. We are celebrating dental health this month with a special offer: $99 New Patient Special, which includes an exam, x-rays, and a basic cleaning. If you’re looking to get on the right track with your dental health, give us a call!
Maintaining your natural teeth is crucial not just for a beautiful smile, but also for overall health. Natural teeth also help with proper chewing and digestion, and losing them can lead to teeth shifting, which may cause bite misalignment, speech issues, and jaw problems. The cost of replacing lost teeth with implants or bridges is often significantly higher, as well.
Keep an eye out for pain of any kind and sensitivity to hot and cold. Bleeding gums, bad breath, visible decay and broken teeth are also problem signs. Contact your dentist right away to prevent major problems. The longer you wait, the worse the issue will be.
For those experiencing tooth decay, there are multiple options available. We offer fillings and crowns. However, if the decay reaches the nerve, we may refer you to an endodontist specialist. This specialist will repair the tissues inside the tooth and remove any infection to save your natural teeth. Usually after a root canal you will need to come back to the general dentist for a crown.
Speaking of root canals, did you know May 14th is Root Canal Appreciation Day? We appreciate root canals because this procedure allows us to keep our natural teeth and smile naturally! Otherwise, it would need an extraction for either a bridge, partial, or implant which can be more costly at times.
Let's take this month to appreciate the advances in dental care that help us preserve our precious natural teeth.
