Pregnancy And Oral Health

Are you planning to add to your family sometime soon? Or perhaps you or someone you know is already pregnant. During this exciting time of planning and preparing for a new baby (or babies!), caring for your oral health may not really be on your radar, but that should not be the case. Expectant and new mothers are often surprised to learn that pregnancy not only changes their bodies but can have lasting effects on dental health as well. Hormonal changes can impact your oral health and leave you more susceptible to decay and gum disease. Below are recommendations for your oral health during all stages of pregnancy.

Are Your Medications Affecting Your Oral Health?

At Northridge Dental Group, we are passionate about our patients’ oral and overall health. You may be surprised to learn that your overall health has a direct effect on your oral health. This is one of the reasons we regularly ask about any changes to your medical history during each visit to our office. Patients are surprised to learn that many medications, prescription and over-the-counter alike, can cause lasting problems with your teeth and mouth that can affect their oral health for years to come. We want to share some of the common side effects and tips to help your oral health:

Overcoming Dental Anxiety: How To Stay Relaxed At The Dentist

Are you due for a visit to our office for a hygiene examination or recommended treatment and have avoided scheduling your appointment due to nervous feelings? Millions of Americans experience some form of dental anxiety. However, you should not allow your feelings to keep you from getting the dental treatment you need. Allowing nerves to get in the way of needed dental care can result in added treatments and longer procedures. If dental anxiety is a concern for you or a loved one, we offer a solution to help you get the care you need.

Importance Of Restoring Oral Health

At Northridge Dental Group, we are passionate about helping our patients restore and improve their oral health. We know it can be difficult to overcome the feelings that many people experience when it comes to their oral health. Some patients who struggle with their teeth and mouth find it easier to avoid the problem and deal with the consequences. This can lead to years of discomfort and difficulty eating and smiling. We are here to help our patients, who may feel that all hope is lost when it comes to their oral health. With advancements in treatments and technology, we can improve any problem with your oral health.

Debunking Common Myths About Root Canals

At Northridge Dental Group, we do all we can to save your natural teeth. One treatment in particular can help us achieve this goal — root canal therapy. Many patients have heard of a root canal and have a bad impression without ever having received treatment. If you are unfamiliar, a root canal is the process of removing infected nerve tissue from the inside of the tooth. The root is then cleaned, disinfected, filled, and sealed. If a root canal is not performed when needed, the last resort is to extract the tooth to remove the infection.
