How Can You Tell If You Have a Cavity?

 Do you have noticeable sharp pain when you eat or drink? Or when you look at your smile, do you see a hole? You might also be experiencing pain in general when you are doing business. All of these could be a sign that you have a cavity. 

Various daily habits can cause cavities, which can become a problem that impacts your sleep, eating, or daily life. Scheduling a consultation with your dentist can help get you back on your feet. If you have a cavity and let it go for too long, you might end up with a situation that causes more pain and is more costly to fix. 

Cavities are not necessarily caused by one thing in one day. They are often created over time by a habit you have or an act you do often that wears down the enamel on your teeth. While brushing and flossing reduce the risk of cavities, once a cavity has formed, there is no way to get rid of it without visiting the dentist. 

However, visiting your cosmetic dentist can ensure your cavity is fixed, and you are back on the right track with your dental health.

Individuals Let's Talk Types of Dental Crowns

Are you feeling the impact of broken or cracked teeth? Or do you have teeth that have worn down over time? Your smile matters and is tied to your self-confidence. If your smile does not look the way you want it to, we might be able to help. 

Dental crowns are a popular option that allows you the flexibility of keeping your other tooth. They will fit over your tooth tightly so you can eat and drink normally. Other than having a smile you love to show off, you won't even notice them. They are made from various materials, and if you can take care of them, they can last on average between 5-10 years. While crowns are not the solution for everyone, the best way to know if a crown is best for you is to contact and schedule a cosmetic dental visit.
