Good dental practices should become a part of your child’s daily routine. We suggest you start your child’s first dental visits around age 3. Our friendly team takes extra care to explain procedures to young patients and makes a special effort to keep them relaxed and comfortable. We have particular experience in caring for children with behavioral or emotional problems. Children can select a special reward from our treasure chest at the end of their visit.

The average amalgam (metal) filling lasts at least 15 to 20 years, although normal wear and tear, as well as individual habits can cause them to wear down, chip, fracture, or fall out sooner. If your fillings are defective or show decay, they should be replaced. Our philosophy is to get as much life as possible out of all fillings.

Teeth can become discolored by age, trauma, medications taken when you are young, or by some foods and drinks. Surface stains can be removed with a professional cleaning. Deeper stains are best treated with bleaching agents. There are three major types of bleaching agents: strips you can buy at a drug store, in-office treatments, and take-home trays with gel. The take-home trays with gels are considered the most effective.

If your tooth is broken, chipped, or fractured, see us as soon as possible to prevent further damage. A small chip can be repaired by a procedure called bonding, which uses a tooth-colored composite resin. A more complex repair may involve a thin shell of tooth-colored porcelain or resin composite called a veneer.

It’s a matter of personal preference since both manual and powered toothbrushes can clean your teeth well. A soft-bristled brush and a small head are preferable. Replace your toothbrush when it begins to show wear—about every three to six months for most people.

Not always; it depends on the location. Most molars and premolars will need a crown after the root canal treatment to protect the tooth from fracturing. Most front teeth do not need crowns after root canal treatment but may be better off with a veneer.

While many people wear dentures without discomfort, implants are the preferred treatment for replacing lost teeth. Implants are often the best long term option.

If there is not enough room we suggest they come out or if you are unable to keep them clean.
