Oral health is about more than just having a beautiful smile. When you have dental issues, it can cause pain, stress, and plenty of worry. The key to keeping your teeth and gums healthy is to improve dental hygiene by taking advantage of the comprehensive oral health care Drs. Julie and Joseph Boulos at All Coast Dental can provide.
Practicing good oral hygiene at home is the first step to a healthy smile. However, brushing and flossing alone doesn’t remove tartar, and they can’t reach the plaque in hard-to-reach places. With professional teeth cleanings, dental hygienists address these to give you a fresh, clean smile.
The All Coast Dental team recommends that you visit the office every six months for routine checkups. In addition to your professional teeth cleaning, one of the dentists will examine your teeth, gums, and soft tissues in your mouth. Both children and adults can also benefit from services like fluoride treatments and/or dental sealants.Â
If you have gum disease, it can eventually lead to tooth loss. But it might also have an impact on your overall health. A dentist can remove the bacteria lurking underneath the gumline with options like scaling and root planing. With early intervention, you can save your gums and teeth.
Tooth infections are usually painful and can cause eventual tooth loss. A root canal can save your tooth if you have extensive tooth decay or an infection. During a root canal, the dentist clears out the damaged tissue, gives your inner tooth a good cleaning, and then seals it off with a crown to prevent reinfection.
Unfortunately, it sometimes happens that a tooth can’t be saved. If this happens to you, you can rest easy knowing that the dentists at All Coast Dental will take good care of you. During an extraction, the team will make sure you’re pain-free and comfortable at all times. Then, they’ll help you explore your options for replacing the tooth.
Even if you have healthy teeth and gums, you might also have imperfections you want to fix. At All Coast Dental, you can learn more about these treatments:
If you’re missing one or multiple teeth, it’s important to replace them. The dentists at All Coast Dental can restore your smile with dental implants or porcelain crowns. Some patients need to replace a whole row of teeth or even an entire dental arch. In this case, implant-supported dentures are an excellent option.
When you have an appointment with Drs. Julie and Joseph Boulos at All Coast Dental, you’ll get much more than just the immediate care you need.
