When you’re taking a look at your approach to dental care, you may wonder how you’re doing. However, the days often tend to run together, so it can become difficult to reflect on the reality of your efforts in comparison to what you think is going on. The best way to make sure you’re practicing optimal prevention for your oral health is to take time to consider the details of your dental hygiene. Not sure how to do this? Quiz yourself! You may discover you’re already taking the necessary steps.
How Long Will My Treatment Last?
When you get your tooth fixed or you make an improvement, you like to know it’s going to last! As you may have already guessed, it is all but impossible for us to figure out the exact life expectancy of any one restorative treatment because so many variables come into play! You could have some snacking habits that cause extra wear and tear. You might have excellent dental hygiene habits (or not so great ones). What we can do, however, is give you a general idea of what to expect.

Fast Facts: Understanding Root Canals
We are very familiar with the feelings you may experience as we tell you that you require a root canal treatment to protect your oral health. While you might feel the slightest hint of excitement or relief knowing we can address your tooth problem, you are probably experiencing a greater amount of not-so-friendly emotions. If you find that fear, concern, worry, or anticipation are getting the best of you, it’s likely because you need some additional information. When you know all there is to know about receiving a root canal, you know that only good things will come of it. Consider some helpful facts.
Does My Cavity Need A Filling?
When you ask us the question, “Does my cavity need a dental filling?” we might answer in one of two ways but it might not be exactly what you expect. If you are dealing with a cavity then you are certainly going to require a restorative procedure to address the issue and restore your tooth and oral health. As for the specific answers, it won’t be a “yes” or “no, you’re fine.” It will be, “Yes, you need a filling,” or, “No, you actually need a crown.” Not sure why this might be the case? We are more than happy to explain!
Have A Smile-Safe Halloween
Are you feeling the anticipation as Halloween approaches? Do you occasionally look over your shoulder, expecting to see a member of our dental care team watching you as you reach for some yummy candy? If you’re feeling anxious, there’s no need. We are human, just like you, and understand that with holiday time comes cauldrons full of treats too alluring to ignore. With that said, there is a right way and a not-very-beneficial way to approach Halloween for good oral health. Lucky for you, we are happy to make sure you’re heading down the right path, so you can enjoy yourself!

Are you overjoyed to learn that it’s National Dental Hygiene Month? If so, you might feel a bit frantic, wondering how to make the most of this exciting time. The good news is that there’s no right way to celebrate, so if you’re taking steps to focus on your dental hygiene, you’re already doing quite well. However, just in case you feel a little lacking in the ideas department, we thought we would offer up some simple ways to enjoy yourself (and protect your smile) during this “holiday.”
Restorative Care: Quizzing Your Knowledge
Do you know what to make of restorative care? Are you someone who feels like you know it’s there if something bad happens with your oral health but the details continue to escape you? When it comes to the different areas of dental care, there’s a lot of information there! As a result, you may become more familiar with one type of care over another. Let’s get you headed toward an even better understanding of restorations (or let’s discover you’re already there) with our restorative dentistry quiz!

Sleep Apnea Clarification: Yes Or No?
Do you find that as you sort through what feels like figurative piles of information on the Internet, you’re only further and further from finding simple answers about sleep apnea? If so, you are probably someone who thinks you may need sleep apnea treatment but a lack of factual details is causing you to feel confused instead of certain. The good news is that this process does not need to feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Instead, it becomes very simple when you visit us for a consultation. Until then, we encourage you to consider some simple questions and answers, so you feel some relief.
