Have you had a professional teeth cleaning recently? Also known as prophylaxis, you should have your teeth cleaned once every six months to keep them in great shape. Our dentists take extra care during these examinations and screenings, carefully inspecting every tooth and every hard-to-reach area of your mouth to ensure any problems are found and addressed in time.

When you have a tiny cavity, you may not even notice it. They aren’t necessarily painful or distracting, so it’s an easy issue to ignore. However tooth decay, even the slightest bit, can quickly snowball into more decay and infection if not properly treated.

It’s important to remember that there is no home remedy for a cavity! If your dentist finds one, getting a filling as soon as possible is the best option to prevent both pain and the need for bigger, more expensive procedures in the future.

Fillings are made from a composite material fillings support your tooth and halt the spread of decay and infection. Your dentist will match the shade of your tooth as closely as possible, resulting in a natural, almost invisible, result.

Is your tooth extremely damaged? Decayed? Infected? Maybe your dentist has determined your teeth are simply too large or overcrowding your mouth. These are all problems that can create larger general health issues the longer they go unaddressed. Full removal could be the safest and healthiest option for you going forward.

Your dedicated Inspira dentist will examine your teeth closely, determining what the issue is and whether extraction is necessary. If so, they will carefully explain their reasoning as well as the methods of extraction based on the complexity of your situation.
