Detecting Oral Cancer On Time
Treating any disease requires first identifying its presence in your body. Attending routine checkups and cleanings allows your dentist to examine your mouth for the symptoms of oral cancer on a regular basis. This particular form of cancer can be deadly when it develops and can spread quickly from your mouth to other parts of your body. Therefore, it is critical that you detect it as early as possible. Early detection and treatment can increase the likelihood of successful recovery, so do not skip any of your dental visits. Cancer can strike people of all ages and backgrounds. It can appear in patients with no other problems that otherwise appear robust and healthy. Subsequently, everyone should attend regular screenings. Please call your Newport Beach, CA dentist’s office if you notice any symptoms of the disease growing within your mouth. We can perform a biopsy and determine if any cancer is present and discuss appropriate treatment options for pursuing your effective recovery. (more…)
When It Is Time To Remove Wisdom Teeth
The appearance of your wisdom teeth is a normal part of oral development that can unfortunately cause discomfort and pain. The arrival of your third set of molars can damage your enamel and crowd the rest of their neighbors. Simply put, there is often not enough room in your jaw to properly fit these new teeth. They can even become impacted, which can lead to other problems with your oral health.

Smile Restoration Through Gum Grafting
There are different reasons why people start to lose confidence in their smile. Many people who have gone through this will point to issues with the teeth themselves, but you may need to do something about problems with your gums. Poor periodontal health, aggressive brushing, and other factors can cause gum tissues to recede. In addition to making the tissues uneven, recession exposes your roots, making teeth look longer than they should. That exposure of root areas can lead to oral health as well as esthetic problems, as these areas are more sensitive and have less natural protection against oral bacteria. Fortunately, a gum graft performed at our Newport Beach, CA practice can improve on how you look and address these health-related concerns. (more…)
