Our teeth are under almost constant assault. Bacteria strive to weaken our defensive layer of enamel and cause cavities to form.

To return a compromised tooth to full function and beauty, you will require a quality dental restoration, such as a dental crown.
Navigating your child’s dental care can be difficult. Many parents aren’t sure how soon a child needs to brush, much less see a dentist.

There are a number of signs to watch for that may indicate dental caries. By detecting a cavity in the early stages, you can help your child avoid the need for root canal or extraction.
