Cavities without Pain?
By Kaneda Bajwa Dental|2019-11-12T08:00:48-08:00November 12, 2019|Restorative Dentistry|
If It Ain't Broke, Why Fix It? Patients are sometimes surprised when they have a cavity or two and wonder, "How can I need a filling when I haven't been in any pain?" Unfortunately, this is common because cavities often don't give any warning signs at all. Teeth can become extremely broken down and even [...]

Do You Use Chewable Vitamin C?
By Kaneda Bajwa Dental|2019-10-15T08:00:45-07:00October 15, 2019|Preventative Dentistry|
Less is More Where would we be without our vitamin C? Everyone agrees it's a crucial nutrient that provides many health benefits. And in dentistry, it plays an important role in the healing process, especially in soft tissue such as gums. But vitamin C, being acidic, can actually do damage if consumed in chewable form. [...]
What Would You Do?
By Kaneda Bajwa Dental|2019-10-08T08:00:06-07:00October 8, 2019|Patient Education|
If It Were You? Every day, patients ask us about their dental care. Should I have a crown or a filling? A root canal, or an extraction? Should we fix a "baby tooth?" Or will it just fall out? Is teeth whitening safe? Often the final question we're asked is, "What would you do if [...]
“Guard” Your Teenager
By Kaneda Bajwa Dental|2019-10-01T08:00:24-07:00October 1, 2019|Children's Dentistry|
Against Tooth Damage Let's face it; kids, sports, and the typical teenage sense of invulnerability make a pretty risky combination. Once a tooth is cracked, broken—or worse, knocked out—there's no going back. It's for keeps. If your child is involved in any sports activity (even a pickup basketball game) a well-fitting mouthguard is the least [...]

Gum Disease has Bigger Implications Gum disease continues to pose a significant threat to public health, with some studies suggesting more American adults have gum disease than previously thought.

By Kaneda Bajwa Dental|2019-09-17T08:00:46-07:00September 17, 2019|Preventative Dentistry|
The best rule for fluoride is: Not too much. Not too little. Ever since the first American city began to manage fluoride levels in its water supply, there's been plenty of misinformation floating around regarding the potential benefits and dangers of this substance. In a nutshell, fluoride has been shown to help protect against tooth [...]
Let’s Think About Prevention…

Prevention is the Best Way to Avoid Costly Dental Emergencies We understand that not all emergencies can be avoided, sometimes accidents happen.
