Routine Teeth Cleanings For Preventative Dental Care
While brushing and flossing are important factors in maintaining a healthy smile, they aren’t the only steps necessary to improving the strength and longevity of your teeth and gums. While brushing can remove most of the plaque buildup on your teeth, it simply isn’t enough to remove tartar. Tartar is a hardened deposit on your tooth that results from a buildup of plaque along the gums. These hardened deposits, if not routinely removed, can cause cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease. This is why regular dental cleanings are important. Routine or preventive cleaning appointments should be a part of everyone’s dental hygiene regimen at least once every six months, to maintain optimal oral health.

Dental Fillings – No More Cavities
Brushing, flossing, and a regular routine of dental cleanings are necessary to prevent cavities. Additionally, one should be mindful the effect sugary beverages and foods can have on the teeth and gums. Excess sugar can feed bad bacteria that remains in your mouth after brushing, flossing, and rinsing. Also, highly acidic foods and beverages, such as alcohol and soda, can break down the protective enamel on your teeth.
However, despite proper hygiene habits and healthy diets, certain mouths are simply prone to cavities. Specifically, a mouth with crowded teeth often has points of friction between the teeth that lead to potential cavities. If you are someone who is prone to cavities (one or more per year) despite a rigorous dental regimen, you may want to consider Invisalign® or Fastbraces®.
If you are suffering from general tooth pain or haven’t had a cleaning in the last 6 months, be sure to schedule your initial exam and consultation so that we can assess the condition of your smile.
Dental Crowns – Save Your Tooth
Dental crowns may be necessary when tooth decay is extensive and threatens the health of the surrounding teeth and gums. A crown is a tooth-like cap that covers the existing tooth after removing all of the decay. Another reason a crown may be necessary is if the decay is in a spot that is difficult to remove effectively. Luckily, advancements in dentistry allow crowns to seamlessly blend in with your other teeth!
Dental Bridges – Replace A Missing Tooth
If you have a missing tooth or need to have a tooth pulled, Feel Good Dentistry can replace that tooth with a bridge. A bridge is used when a tooth can’t be salvaged with a filling or crown, but it is still necessary to have a functioning tooth. A dental bridge is comprised of a whole tooth, typically porcelain, firmly affixed between two tooth caps. The tooth caps are affixed to the teeth on either side of the gap. The bridging tooth and caps are designed to match your other teeth, giving you a complete row of teeth and bright smile.
Gum Treatment – Repair & Prevent Gum Disease
There are many causes for gum disease, including excessive sugar in the diet, poor brushing habits, or smoking. This can lead to deterioration of the gums, giving bad bacteria and food particles access to the root of the tooth, causing decay. If gum disease is caught early on, it can be managed, and Feel Good Dentistry can establish a plan to eradicate this painful condition. We offer comfortable laser treatment options to address gum concerns and ease the discomfort that can result from untreated periodontal disease.
Dental Bonding – Restore A Flawed Tooth
Dental bonding is a transformative procedure used to fix broken, chipped or decayed teeth. A tooth colored resin material is used to fill in missing pieces from the tooth, to restore the shape and appearance of your smile. At Feel Good Dentistry, we want to help you maintain your teeth and feel confident in your smile.
