Did you know that what we eat, and how well we care for our smiles, could impact our risk of tooth loss? In today’s blog, your Astoria, NY, dentist takes a look at tooth loss, and what you can do to help your teeth stay healthy and your smile remain whole, even from home! In addition, should you lose a tooth, we’re going to explain our replacement options.
Is Dental Pain An Emergency Situation?
Do you have an ache in your tooth that seems to grow worse each day? Do you have persistent tooth sensitivity that hasn’t abated, even as the weather has warmed? Then your dental pain could be a potential dental emergency, such as a cavity or infection. In today’s blog, your Astoria, NY, dentist looks at how we identify and treat dental emergencies.
When Does My Tooth Need A Filling?
When a cavity forms, the issue only grows more severe with time until the very stability of our tooth is threatened. While we’re closed to general and elective treatments, your Astoria, NY, dentist is still here to tackle your emergency concerns, such as an untreated cavity or infection! When does your tooth need a filling, and when should you contact our team for treatment?
The Importance Of A Sleep Routine
For many people, stress and other factors could cause difficulty sleeping or maintaining a regular schedule. Over time, this could mean the onset of a serious disorder known as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In today’s blog, we’re looking at improving your daily routine to avoid OSA, and when you may need to talk to your Astoria, NY, dentist!
Replacing Your Lost Teeth
Losing your teeth could mean the eventual onset of serious oral health issues and complications. If you lose one to an emergency situation, such as having a tooth severely broken or knocked-out, then our team can help right away. If one is lost due to poor oral health, then as soon as our doors open again, we can provide prosthetic solutions. In today’s blog, your Astoria, NY, dentist talks tooth replacement!
