Experience A CEREC Renewal

Posted by

broken tooth cerecWithout strong teeth, it’s tough to maintain a healthy smile. Unfortunately, even though enamel is incredibly strong, it can still become damaged due to tooth decay or injury. When that happens, it’s important to call your dentist and talk about what is going on within your mouth, as a broken or cracked tooth can lead to a bacterial infection. And when a tooth becomes infected, it can cause a serious toothache or worse.

That’s why, at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, we work hard to help patients save their teeth after dental damage. We know that when a broken tooth is left alone, it becomes a major smile liability. Bacteria can make their way through the dentin, which makes up the bulk of the tooth, eventually reaching the nerve within your pulp. At this point, the tooth becomes in need of a root canal procedure, so talk to your dentist quickly to find a solution after cracking, breaking, or even chipping one of your teeth.

CEREC crowns help patients see renewal in record time. Find out more about this innovative approach to crowns with Grinnell Street Dental.

Tracking Wisdom Tooth Development

Posted by

Tracking Wisdom Tooth DevelopmentWhen you (or your child) reaches the latter part of adolescence, there is something that you need to pay attention to. We’re talking, of course, about the development of wisdom teeth, which can become a serious problem if ignored. These are the last teeth that humans grow, and when they come in, they can push existing teeth out of alignment. The simple truth is that for many of us, our mouths are just too slim to fit them safely. So, it’s important to keep an eye on them.

At our neighborhood office at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, our team understands the value of tracking wisdom teeth development. These molars are evolutionary holdovers from a time when we needed more chewing power, and sometimes, they can cause more problems than they are worth. The first step in safely navigating wisdom teeth development is sticking to your schedule of checkups, as digital x-rays provide an excellent way to track them. Don’t put off your dental visits while you’re in your teens and early twenties.

Those final teeth can cause real oral health issues. See where you stand with a visit to Grinnell Street Dental.
