Whenever you experience an injury to a tooth, you should seek its repair right away to prevent further complications from developing. Whether from decay or physical trauma, damage to your teeth can break open your protective enamel layer and leave the inner material at risk for infection. You may also undergo severe pain as cracked or chipped teeth become sensitive when having a meal. Because of its negative effect on your appearance, a broken tooth can impact your enthusiasm to socialize as well.

To treat pain, prevent further injury, and return a beautiful smile, seek out the remarkable results of a dental crown. This restoration goes over the entirety of a damaged tooth to protect its insides and sustain the pressure of your bite. At your Cerritos, CA dentist’s office, we can create a ceramic dental crown that is custom-made for your smile. Modern material selection allows us to match its shade to your natural teeth to address esthetic concerns while repairing a tooth’s function.

As you enter adolescence, the possible arrival of your wisdom teeth may impact your oral health, comfort, or the alignment of your smile. While some people experience no complications, regularly meeting with your dentist allows us to track the development of these third molars. As they grow in your mouth, these new structures can damage your enamel as they crowd against your other adult teeth. They may even become impacted and cause an increased risk for tooth decay, gum disease and infection. To prevent these dangers, your Cerritos, CA dentist can let you know if your wisdom teeth pose any threat to the rest of your mouth. We can relieve any current pain you feel with a safe extraction procedure and guide you through a comfortable recovery process.

Are you taking every step to protect the health of your mouth? Maintaining robust oral hygiene does more than protect your teeth against cavities. By attending regular cleanings and examinations with your dentist, they are able to check your mouth for the signs of oral cancer. Because this form of disease can produce little to no pain, routine checkups provide the opportunity for identification of problems that would otherwise go unnoticed. Early detection can greatly influence the success of treatment, so do not skip your exams.

To further protect yourself against cancer, you can also monitor yourself for symptoms at home. If you notice sudden changes to the tissues of your mouth, you can schedule a screening outside of your standard checkups. At your Cerritos, CA dentist’s practice, we can diagnose the symptoms of cancer with oral pathology examinations. If we detect cancer, we will guide you through treatment options that fit your diagnosis.
