Have you recently learned that you need a root canal and are nervous about receiving treatment? Unfortunately, root canals have a bad reputation, but it’s not justified. A root canal can not only save your natural teeth, but can help eliminate severe discomfort as well. We want to help ease your mind about this common dental treatment.

3 Reasons To Replace Missing Teeth

Cosmetic Dentistry, Kewaskum Family Dentistry, Restorative Dentistry

At Kewaskum Family Dentistry, we do everything possible to save your natural teeth, but we are not always successful. There can be a number of reasons a patient might be missing a tooth or need to have a tooth extracted, such as severe decay, trauma to the mouth or complications from an illness or medication. No matter the reason, we know that it can be traumatic to deal with the emotions and decisions that need to be made about the empty space in your mouth. Many patients wonder whether their missing teeth need to be replaced at all. This is a common question, especially when a rear molar needs to be removed. We encourage each patient to replace their missing teeth no matter the location in the mouth.

Important Reasons Not To Delay Dental Treatment

Have we recently recommended a dental treatment and you have been postponing your appointment? Adulthood is not always simple. It can be very easy to let the “to do” list take over and put your needs and desires on the back burner. Whether you have a family, you are burdened with the requirements of your job, or you just feel the stress of daily life, all too often your needs are put to the side to deal with another time. Unfortunately, more times than not, the delay turns into a much longer time period than expected. We see it time and again with our patients. If you are in need of a dental treatment, we encourage you to take the time and put yourself first. Delaying and postponing dental treatment can lead to serious complications with your oral and overall health. Read on to learn more.

When was your last visit to our office for a routine hygiene examination and cleaning?

Why Do We Recommend A Retainer?

Are you getting ready to end your journey wearing braces? Congratulations on completing treatment! There are few times more exciting than the day when you get your braces removed. The day that you can look in the mirror and see your beautiful, straight smile is what patients with braces dream of for the entire length of treatment. Not to quickly put a damper on your excitement, but your journey towards straight teeth is not yet over. Braces being removed is the end of what is considered the active period of treatment. You are now moving into the retention period, which involves the use of a retainer to hold the teeth in place.
