Patients who experience tooth loss often struggle to choose a tooth replacement option. Whether you have personally experienced this or not, you can imagine the frustration of choosing an option that is not only best for your budget but fits your lifestyle as well.

There are many aspects of daily life that can be stressful. As children, we can’t wait to become adults and enjoy the freedoms we believe come with adulthood, such as no bedtime and the ability to eat whatever we want and play endless video games. Then, we grow up, and realize the sad truth, that being an adult means having way more responsibilities than we could have imagined. Jobs, finances, medical issues, family matters, and more increase daily stress. High stress can not only damage your overall health but your oral health as well. When you visit us for a routine hygiene examination, we can often tell your stress level by what we see in your mouth. Here are some ways stress may be harming your teeth and mouth:
When was the last time you visited our office for a routine hygiene examination and cleaning? If it has been longer than six months since we’ve seen you and your family, now is the perfect time to schedule your next visit. Since we are still in the heart of spring, and many people are cleaning out their homes and preparing their yards for the summertime, we think it’s the perfect time to deep clean your mouth. Read on to learn more about the importance of maintaining routine examinations.
After experiencing tooth loss, it is extremely important to speak with us as soon as possible to learn about your tooth replacement options. Delaying the process to replace the tooth can lead to serious complications for your oral health, such as jawbone deterioration and uneven wear of teeth. Even if your smile hasn’t been affected and you are missing your molars in the back of your mouth, it can cause problems with the way you eat and digest food, as well as negatively affect your quality of life. We offer a number of replacement options, but one in particular is helpful in replacing one or multiple teeth – a dental bridge.
When patients visit our office for a routine hygiene examination and cleaning, one of their biggest concerns is if there is any sign of decay. Unfortunately, decay is a common problem, especially in children who have a difficult time properly brushing the rear molars. Thankfully, we offer a popular and common treatment that can help prevent cavities and decay in our youngest to oldest patients. Read on to learn more about this helpful and quick treatment.
Dealing with frequent dental discomfort, recurring dental decay, or missing teeth can be devastating and really affect your quality of life. These issues can all lead to problems with eating food, speaking correctly, and feeling confident about your smile. For patients dealing with these issues, we are happy to provide a number of restorative dental treatments.
One of our main goals is to do everything we can to save your natural teeth. This is one of the reasons we stress the importance of scheduling any needed treatments as soon as possible. When you do not care for your teeth properly or avoid treatment, it can lead to serious oral health complications and the need for tooth extraction, but we are hopeful we can restore the tooth with a root canal before we have to resort to that. Read on to learn more about this treatment and to understand why it’s not as bad as you might imagine.
At Today’s Dental Comfort, we want the best oral health for all of our patients, young and old. This is one of the reasons we stress routine oral hygiene appointments. However, most of the responsibility for your oral care falls on your shoulders. We know that our adult patients are able to care for their teeth on their own, but children need assistance in caring for their teeth at home. There are some habits that can negatively affect your children’s teeth and can impact the future of their oral health.

Have you noticed signs of pink or red when you floss or brush your teeth? If so, that is an indication you are experiencing bleeding gums. Almost everyone experiences bleeding gums from time to time, especially if food becomes trapped between the teeth or you brush and floss a little too vigorously. It is important to contact us at Today’s Dental Comfort if you notice your gums bleed frequently, as that can indicate an issue with your gums and overall oral health.

We eat numerous times a day, and our teeth are designed to withstand the abuse of chewing and biting. However, tooth enamel is not indestructible and can become damaged when not cared for properly.
