In our dentist office, we help people have beautiful and healthy smiles. We believe in the critical nature of preventative care and its contribution to achieving this goal. Many people make the mistake of only visiting the dentist when they have a toothache or other health concern. If, however, you visit the dentist on a regular basis you can often avoid getting a toothache in the first place.
Regular dental care is an essential step in the fight against cavities and gum disease. Additionally, it is important that you take care of your teeth and gums at home. To that end, we believe that knowledge is power and will take the time to discuss oral health and answer any questions that people may have. Here are some that we are asked on a regular basis.

Once you get to the stage of having a massive toothache, you need dental care as soon as possible to avoid experiencing further discomfort.
