The
Importance of Hygiene VisitsSometimes even meticulous brushing might miss some of the contours of the back teeth, resulting in a buildup of plaque that hardens into tartar. When tartar collects below the gumline, gum disease occurs. Medical research has identified a possible link between bacterial infections of the gums and the serious health conditions of stroke, diabetes, and heart disease. We advise all of our patients how important it is to have their teeth cleaned on a regular basis to maintain good health.
Root Canal Therapy Can Save Hopeless Teeth
Extraction used to be the solution for teeth with infected or damaged roots. With today’s technology, a root canal can be performed to save a tooth. During the procedure, the nerve is removed and replaced with a filling material. Often times, a crown will be placed over the tooth to give it added strength. With today’s anesthetics and advanced technologies, root canals are manageable and no longer dreaded, as in the past.

ReplyDeleteYou are right that proper brushing can’t be enough for having healthy teeth. In fact Incisors can cause big dental problems. That’s the reason I go for regular checkups and follow the instructions of the dentist Manhattan Beach to keep my teeth healthy.
