Keep A Cleaner Smile For Your Safety

Keep a Cleaner Smile sheridan wyA healthy smile depends on a few things to avoid deterioration, and a big part of your efforts is keeping yours clean. You see, bacteria are always trying to cause problems within your mouth, leaving behind a harmful biofilm called plaque. This is what you brush off of your teeth twice each and every day; if it remains for a while, though, it calcifies into a harder form called calculus. At this point, you can no longer safely remove it on your own, and you need a trained dental hygienist to do it for you.

If you’re ready for a fresher set of teeth, tell Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY about it. Our office is built to help people protect their smiles through effective dentistry, and we know that that starts with your efforts at home. But even with dedicated brushing and flossing, you still need to see your dentist at least twice each year for a thorough cleaning and a visual examination. So, when you find that it has bn longer than six months since your last biannual dental checkup, call our office to schedule your next one.

A Quicker Path To Restoration

restoration sheridan wyWhen you break a tooth, you can let in some harmful little microorganisms. You see, bacteria are always trying to make your mouth their home, and a broken tooth is an open invitation. Normally, your enamel provides a barrier that blocks out bacterial infection, but it can be lost through injury, tooth decay, and more. And if that’s happened to you, then you are ready to call your dentist and talk about your path forward.

Your smile is there for you every day, until it isn’t. Here at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, we work with people when that happens, through effective restoration and CEREC milling. CEREC helps us to create quality, custom dental restorations right here in the office, rather than having to send out for a specialized ceramicist. That means that our patients can experience a quicker path to restoration. And if you’ve been thinking about dental implant placement, let’s talk about that, too. Schedule your next visit, and let’s make a plan to meet your smile goals.

A broken tooth is not something to ignore. If that’s happened to you, call Grinnell Street Dental to set up a time to talk teeth.

Your Teeth Are Worth The Effort

teeth are worth the effort sheridan wyTaking care of your smile is an important part of being human. You are only given one set of adult teeth to last you your entire lifetime, and if you don’t maintain them, you could lose them. Each tooth is composed of a few different forms of tissue, and their outer layer is enamel. While this material is even tougher than bone, you can still damage it through injury or tooth decay. And when that happens, it’s time to tell your dentist about what’s gone on.

Here at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, Drs. Justin and Cody Coon work with patients to find a way back to a stronger smile. Our office is built to help people just like you to work toward improving oral health through positive preventive care, quality cosmetic improvement, and yes, restoration for when your smile needs a little help.
