Professional Teeth Cleaning St Louis MO

Plaque and tartar can accumulate on teeth over an extended period of time. Plaque can be removed with daily brushing, but sometimes it hardens into tartar, which is not easily removed. When tartar collects below the gumline and/or on the surface of teeth, you are risking problems that could lead to infections and tooth loss. Modern research links untreated gum infections to serious medical conditions like diabetes, heart problems, and strokes. Please make an appointment with our dental hygienist to have a professional cleaning twice a year for overall good health.

Dental Root Canal Treatment

Hopeless Teeth Can Be Saved
Extraction of teeth due to damaged or infected roots should be a last resort. A root canal procedure can save the tooth by taking out the pulp and putting in filling material. When you save a tooth, it prevents bone loss and other teeth from moving, which could alter your appearance or bite. With today’s anesthetics and technology, saving a tooth can be a relaxed procedure as well as beneficial.

Tooth Decay and Sensitivity

What Causes Tooth Enamel Damage?
What happens when tooth enamel is damaged? The exposed part underneath becomes vulnerable to decay. Cavities aren't the only problem.

Teeth with damaged enamel can become sensitive to extreme temperatures. Suddenly, eating ice cream or sipping hot coffee can be painful or unpleasant.

How Enamel Protects Your Teeth

What Causes Tooth Enamel Damage?
Enamel is kind of like the shell of an egg: it protects the softer, more vulnerable part of the tooth inside.
But unlike an eggshell, the thin layer of enamel is tough.

In fact, enamel is the hardest substance in the body. It can withstand decades of biting, chewing and crunching -- with some luck and good dental care.

Grinding Teeth

What Causes Tooth Enamel Damage?
Another cause of tooth enamel damage is bruxism -- or teeth-grinding. Over time, the constant clenching and friction can wear down or fracture the enamel. In this slide, teeth grinding has ground down the upper and lower front teeth.

Bruxism is often worst when you sleep -- that's when you can't control it. Reducing stress may help. Some people wear a special mouth guard to bed.
