What’s the difference between brushing your teeth at home and having our team clean your teeth during your regular dental exam?

At Creekside Dental, we use an electric brush and sometimes use a polisher to deep clean your teeth. This deep cleaning aims to remove extra plaque and tartar that couldn’t be removed manually. During your regular cleaning at the dentist's office, we will remove tartar in a procedure called scaling. After scraping off the hard tartar with special instruments, we may polish your teeth. Dental polishing can remove surface stains on teeth and leaves them shiny and smooth, putting the finishing touches on preventive dental treatment.

Happy Labor Day from Creekside Dental! Today, we celebrate the hard work and dedication of workers everywhere. Wishing you a well-deserved day of relaxation and enjoyment!

Restorative dentistry procedures do just what their name suggests: restore your healthy smile. From fixing cavities to replacing missing teeth with crowns, bridges, or dental implants, restorative procedures can help you achieve a beautiful smile. Contact us today to learn more about how restorative dentistry can benefit you.

Just a friendly reminder to stop and take a deep breath. 💙 Stress not only takes a toll on your mental health, but it can also affect your smile! Clenching or grinding teeth, known as bruxism, can lead to tooth wear, jaw pain, and even fractures. Take time to relax and protect your oral health.

It’s electric! ⚡ Using an electric toothbrush can take your oral hygiene to the next level. Here are some benefits of brushing with an electric toothbrush:

🦷 Electric toothbrushes are more effective at removing plaque compared to manual brushing, helping to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
🦷 Many electric toothbrushes come with built-in timers to ensure you brush for the recommended two minutes.
🦷 The oscillating or rotating movements of electric toothbrush bristles are gentle on gums, reducing the risk of gum recession and sensitivity.
🦷 Electric toothbrushes often feature pressure sensors and different brushing modes to help you find your preferred brushing technique.
🦷 Electric toothbrushes can make brushing fun for kids with colorful designs and music timers, encouraging them to develop good oral care habits from a young age.

Let us know your favorite electric toothbrush in the comments! ⬇

If you’re expecting, it’s crucial to keep up with your oral health and visit Creekside Dental for regular check-ups. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect your oral health and make gingivitis more common in expecting mothers. These changes can increase the blood flow to the gum tissue and cause your gums to be more sensitive, irritable, and swollen.
Taking care of your teeth and gums not only benefits you but also your little one on the way. 💛 Contact us for more information or to schedule an appointment: https://rwl.io/3QFlx1N.

Do you want to learn more about the tools your dentist uses to keep your smile in tip-top shape? Here are some of the tools we use at Creekside Dental that are instrumental in keeping your teeth healthy:

- Dental Mirror: A small, handheld mirror with an angled handle used to view and access areas of the mouth that are difficult to see, such as the back of the teeth or behind molars.
- Scaler: Dental scalers are instruments with a hook-like end designed to remove plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth. They come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different areas of the mouth.
- Dental Drill: A high-speed dental drill, or handpiece, is a rotary tool used for various dental procedures, including cavity preparation and tooth reshaping. It may have different attachments for specific tasks.
- Suction Device: Suction devices are used to remove saliva, water, and debris from the patient's mouth during dental procedures. This helps maintain a dry working environment and enhances our visibility.

If you ever have any questions or concerns about which tools your dentist uses, don’t hesitate to ask during your dental exam!

Did you know that munching on crisp fruits and veggies like apples and carrots can naturally clean your teeth? 🍎

These crunchy treats act like nature's toothbrushes as you chew. Their firm texture helps scrub away plaque and food debris from your teeth, acting as a gentle cleanser between your dental visits.

So, next time you reach for a snack, consider adding some crisp fruits and veggies to your plate. Not only will you treat your taste buds, but you'll also be giving your teeth some extra love and care.

The American Dental Association recommends replacing your toothbrush every three months, so if you’re due, here is your friendly reminder from Creekside Dental to switch out your toothbrush! 😄
