An abscessed tooth can be quite undesirable as it can lead to infection, swelling of the face, and severe pain that can prevent you from completing normal, everyday tasks. Below, we take a look at what abscessed teeth really are, how you can identify them and what can be done to prevent or alleviate pain. Defining an Abscessed Tooth A dental abscess is an accumulation of pus that forms a pocket within the mouth. This pus stems from an infection and occurs as a result of the immune system’s response to combat this occurrence. An abscess can become too large or significant for the body’s immune system to handle. Two distinct types of abscesses occur within the mouth. The periodontal… Read Full Post

There are two main types of gum disease: gingivitis and periodontal disease (bone loss). Both of these diseases are caused by plaque, which is a collection of bacteria that lives in the mouth. When plaque is left on teeth around the gum tissue, it can cause inflammation to the gums, which causes them to bleed or appear swollen. When the plaque is left to sit for longer periods of time (i.e. when someone isn’t flossing), the plaque can harden into tarter (also known as calculus) and cause bone loss around the teeth. This bone loss is irreversible and is better known as periodontal disease, or periodontitis. More than half of people over age 30 have some form of periodontal disease… Read Full Post

In this day and age, teeth are always in style. Whether it is a job interview, first date, wedding pictures, or a smile to a stranger on the street, people notice our smiles every day and that is a powerful force in the world. Let’s face it unless you have had braces at a young age and have worn your retainers religiously, teeth present with imperfections and spacing issues that can make our smile appear "off." When people don’t feel good about their teeth, they tend not to smile. Although some people will put up with this for years and hid their smiles, some people will turn to their dentist for help. We understand how hard it is to set your valuable time aside in order to make dentist… Read Full Post

When looking to find a dentist, we recommend that you visit our office and have your teeth checked for signs of bruxism. If you have not heard of this technical term, it is when people grind or clench their teeth at night or throughout the day when they are not eating. This condition, while seemingly minor, can lead to a cracked or chipped natural or replacement tooth along with enamel erosion, causing sensitive teeth. Signs of bruxism Those with bruxism typically have teeth that appear flat on the bottom. Naturally, teeth tend to have points where bruxism causes the enamel to wear down. Those with a severe degree of bruxism may start to see their teeth erode upwards as more of the tooth… Read Full Post

As a dental office, we treat patients who are in need of emergency care, routine dental treatments, and preventative care. Regardless of why you come to our office, if you are experiencing discomfort, we will identify what the issue is, treat it, and discuss ways that you can prevent it from occurring again.

Since there is a lot of sugar in milk, this leads to baby bottle tooth decay in countless toddlers. Common myths, while seemingly harmless, can significantly impact your oral health. For this… Read Full Post

In our cosmetic dentist office, we use dental crowns to solve a variety of oral health issues. Whether you are looking to correct a damaged tooth or to improve the appearance of your teeth, dental crowns can do so in a variety of natural-looking ways. In the past, crowns were typically created out of silver amalgam. Now, Highpoint Dental Care and Implant Center can have a ceramic-on-metal or all-ceramic crown created so that it can be used on front teeth without appearing like a restoration was ever completed. Restorations Perhaps one of the most common reasons for needing to use a crown is to restore a tooth that has become damaged. For example, a tooth that has been chipped, cracked or severely worn down… Read Full Post
