Brush your teeth twice a day or between meals. Regular brushing helps keep the plaque from turning into tartar. 

Flossing on a regular basis will also prevent tartar buildup and allows you to remove food items that may have been stuck in a hard to reach place. 

Using a mouthwash regularly will also help keep your teeth healthy by removing bacteria from your teeth and gums.

Lastly, visit Strasburg Dental Group twice a year for your regular dental cleanings. 

Crowns

Most commonly done after a root canal or a fractured tooth, crowns are usually full coverage restoration to protect the teeth from deteriorating even further. Adding strength and protection, crowns usually take patients two appointments but with new technology, some crowns can be fabricated and placed the same day. They are made of either high-strength porcelain over gold alloy, ceramic material, or gold.

There are different types of dentures, but they all share a common function. They replace teeth that have become loose, removed, or lost.

The entire mouth is examined. Depending on the results of our examination, we will determine if a partial or full denture is the correct approach. There is an adjustment period after dentures are placed in the mouth, and it can take some getting used to. But once accustomed to the dentures, all the standard functionality and appearance return.

Root canal treatment (also referred to as root canal therapy or endodontic therapy) is made necessary when a cavity has deepened to the pulp of the tooth. Once this occurs, the pulp becomes infected and can even extend through the root tip and eat away at the surrounding bone (an abscess). By the time the pulp is infected, it must be treated and cannot heal independently. Symptoms include sensitivity to hot/cold or sweets, pain, swelling, biting or pressure, or a bad taste in the mouth. Sometimes, however, no symptoms are apparent, and the person is unaware of any problem until a checkup.

A root canal is performed to clean out the infected tooth pulp and disinfect the tooth's canals. Once the infection is resolved, the canal(s) are filled in to prevent further infection. Usually, a core build-up and crown are recommended for restoring a tooth with root canal therapy.

Surgically implanting a titanium post in your jawbone, dental implants will help create a strong replacement for the missing tooth's root and helps preserve and stimulate your bone structure. As bone grows around the post, it forms a tight connection and does not stress the surrounding teeth for support. With little adjustment periods and the patient only being able to feel the tooth itself, dental implants provide numerous advantages to long-term tooth replacement in patients wanting a low maintenance way of replacing missing teeth.

The tray method involves having impressions taken from which laboratory fabricated custom vinyl trays are made. A carbamide peroxide gel is placed in these trays and the trays with gel are worn for 30 minutes. The entire process takes 2 weeks of daily use.
