Why Fillings Matter

If left untreated, your cavities can lead to bigger problems than a toothache. Think pain, infection, and even tooth loss! That’s why fillings are so important. Here are more reasons why you should consider them:

- Fillings act as a protective barrier to prevent bacteria from causing further damage.
- They bring back your biting power, which was likely mad difficult because of the pain.
- Our fillings can be color-matched to your natural teeth.

Preventative Care is Your Best Defense

You hear our encouragement every time you visit–brush regularly, floss daily, and more. And we’re not just saying it! A seemingly simple routine of brushing and flossing daily can make a big difference in your oral health. Limiting your sugary foods and drinks can also help since these substances feed the bacteria that cause tooth decay. But, most importantly, to ensure early detection and prevention of serious dental problems, it’s important to schedule regular check-ups with our team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a same-day appointment for my emergency?

We prioritize emergency dental appointments and aim to fit in patients as quickly as possible. If you are having a dental emergency, please call our office immediately.

What should I do if I’ve knocked out a tooth?

If one of your teeth has been knocked out, gently pick it up and rinse it gently under cold water to remove debris. If possible, reinsert the tooth into your socket and bite down gently. If you can’t reinsert your tooth, place it in a container of milk or saliva.

Is it safe to take over-the-counter pain medication?

While over-the-counter pain medication is safe and can provide temporary relief, it's important to consult with your dentist if you’re having an emergency, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.
