General Dentistry Treatment Options
Oral hygiene is critical for eradicating bacteria in the mouth. Bacteria accumulate to form plaque that can harden and cause lasting ailments such as bad breath, gingivitis, and periodontal disorders if it is not cleaned in time. A good dental care regime and regular checkups will keep your mouth healthy and prevent infections, inflammation, decay, and tooth loss.
Even the most conscientious dental care routines cannot prevent accidents that might necessitate dental emergency treatment. While preventative care decreases your chances of an emergency visit to your dentist, it is vital to understand that unexplained persistent tooth pain can be just as serious as other forms of emergencies.
Everybody wants to have a pearly white smile, fresh breath, and healthy pink gums. For you to attain that goal, your home care plays a very vital role. A competent home care routine should include eating nourishing foods, avoiding junk foods, and proper use of dental utilities that will assist in controlling the plaque and bacteria that cause oral disease.
If you often have headaches or teeth or jaw pain after waking up, then you should visit a dentist for an examination. This pain could be a sign of bruxism, a common disorder that can cause the clenching of the jaw and teeth grinding. Bruxism wears down and loosens teeth, inflames the gums, and causes headaches and persistent and neck pain.
Nitrous oxide sedation is commonly used during dental procedures to help patients overcome their anxiety. This sedation technique is intended to relax the patient for shorter or more non-invasive procedures such as a dental cleaning, tooth extraction, or filling placements.
At Sedro-Woolley Family Dental Center, we are committed to caring for your smile as well as your overall wellness. We take an all-inclusive approach to your dental care, which includes an oral cancer screening as part of your regular exam. Similar to other types of cancer, oral cancer can be fatal if not identified and cured in its initial stages.
Periodontal maintenance is a therapy that prevents gum disease and disease in the bone that supports your teeth. It helps to keep your periodontal disease under control after completing the treatment. You will be provided with an effective maintenance program to keep your gums healthy.
Preventive care should ideally start at home. Practicing good oral hygiene and eating a balanced diet go a long way to promote dental health. At Sedro-Woolley Family Dental Center, we continue the process of preventive care by monitoring, maintaining, and restoring your oral health. Our chief aim is to keep you as healthy as possible and support your natural teeth for life.
Is having ice cream or hot coffee becoming a painful experience for you? You may be suffering from tooth sensitivity. It occurs when your dentin is exposed. Dentin is the second layer of your tooth that follows the glossy protective layer called enamel.
Tooth extraction is a common procedure used to remove a damaged or decayed tooth. The process requires removing a tooth from its socket and using restorative measures to promote better oral function.
Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most common oral or maxillofacial surgery in dentistry. Over 10 million people have their wisdom teeth extracted each year. Our dentists, Dr. Hansrolf H. Gruener, DDS, and Dr. Tristan J. Stone, DDS, at Sedro-Woolley Family Dental Center in Sedro-Woolley, Washington, offer the procedure to relieve pain and improve your oral health.
