The care you put into preventing cavities is important. After all, dental decay will do permanent damage to your tooth structure even when the problem is identified and treated with a dental filling shortly after developing. Because cavities do permanent damage, and because they make you vulnerable to more severe problems with infection, you should be careful not to fall into poor habits that leave you vulnerable to trouble. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we provide preventive dental health care as well as services to treat active problems with your teeth. While we perform preventive services in the office that keep you safe from trouble, we also provide guidance that you can use to take better care of your smile between visits! (more…)
