Halloween is around the corner, which means kids will be trick or treating and getting a massive haul of candy. While we love this holiday too, we also know that a lot of sugar can lead to tooth decay. But your Leawood, KS, dentist wants to offer a few tips for protecting little smiles from the onset of tooth decay during the spooky season!
When you have a cavity, which can form in smiles of all ages, we offer a restoration known as a filling. Instead of only metal options, we also have a selection that is metal-free and lifelike in appearance. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS, dentist explains how we improve smiles with composite resin dental fillings, which are durable and natural-looking, and help you enjoy relief from a toothache!
As we touched on in our previous blog, we use restorative treatments like crowns and root canal therapy to preserve infected or damaged teeth. But sometimes, issues arise that cannot be repaired with a restoration. Instead, safeguarding the smile means tooth extraction is necessary. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS, dentist explains when a tooth extraction is needed.
When a tooth develops a painful infection, this could eventually cause a lost tooth. But with an endodontic treatment known as a root canal, we can treat the issue to stop pain and save the tooth! In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS, dentist talks about how we treat infected teeth with a root canal procedure.
With family dentistry, we offer an array of treatments that address the more common oral health concerns, or help you avoid them altogether. These treatments can help kids and adults alike, and be key to long-term smile health. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS, dentist talks about what to expect from family dentistry.
We offer care for the whole family, and that includes the little ones too! With children’s dentistry, your Leawood, KS, dentist can offer preventive care to keep cavities away, and provide restoration to treat tooth decay as well, so kids can avoid issues like infection or premature tooth loss. We look forward to helping little smiles with children’s dental care.
When you have a jaw joint disorder like TMJ disorder, or if chronic teeth grinding (bruxism) is damaging your smile, you need treatment to stop discomfort and protect your smile. We can offer a comfortable and noninvasive option with an oral appliance. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS, dentist talks about TMD and bruxism treatment.
We employ advanced technology and state-of-the-technology to offer treatment with comfort and precision. But we also offer sedation! Even if you have dental anxiety or special needs that impact treatment, our team can offer a comfortable experience with dental sedation. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS, dentist talks about sedation dentistry, and how we use special medications to help you stay calm, comfortable, and relaxed when you undergo treatment, whether you’re having a tooth replaced or a dental implant placed.
When you have the warning signs of serious inflammation or gum disease, then you need treatment to help prevent periodontitis, the stage linked to adult tooth loss. Our team can offer a preventive deep cleaning to help keep your smile strong. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS, dentist talks about scaling and root planing procedure.
Oral cancer is highly treatable when caught in the early stages, but since it rarely is, this disease has a high mortality rate. Which is why our team offers a screening as part of our routine checkup visit, and recommends one every year. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS, dentist talks about our approach to oral cancer screenings.
