Hello, and welcome to the Parkton dental health blog. My name is Dr. Craig Longenecker and I want to tell you about our Monkton practice, Hereford Dental Health. We work hard to keep our patients satisfied.
Most Parkton people know that vitamin D is important for healthy teeth and bones, but many of us fail to get adequate amounts. Today’s article is a friendly reminder to our patients – especially expectant mothers – about the importance of vitamin D.
A veneer is a thin shell of porcelain that is permanently attached to the front of a tooth, correcting cosmetic imperfections. They can last longer than dental bonding.
Crown lengthening surgery is a safe and effective procedure that exposes more of the visible part of the tooth. Some patients undergo crown lengthening surgery at Hereford Dental Health to alter their gummy smile.
We hope you don’t ever say, “If only I had taken care of my teeth!” If you have neglected your teeth, we invite you to let us help you get back on track to oral health. At Hereford Dental Health, we are enthusiastic about helping patients establish and maintain dental health. We help all of our patients feel relaxed and comfortable in a friendly, non-judgmental atmosphere.
Your Parkton dentist knows that it’s too much to ask that you never indulge in sugary treats, but he or she will tell you that eating sweets at certain times is better for your teeth than others. For instance, when you eat a full meal, your saliva production increases. This helps to rinse food particles from your mouth as well as neutralize the acids that cause plaque.
Hereford Dental Health is proud to serve not only Monkton but the greater Parkton area. Our staff constitutes proud members of the community we serve. Not only are we are proud to offer outstanding service to Monkton, Maryland, but we are happy to serve our patients in Parkton, White Hall, Sparks, and Hereford. It’s worth the trip for the change it will make in your life.
When my Monkton patients ask me about tooth restoration, I usually tell them about fixed (or ‘traditional’) dental bridges or tooth implants. A dental bridge is an artificial tooth which replaces a missing tooth. The false tooth (called a ‘pontic’) is fused to porcelain crowns on either side of the missing tooth.
Are yellowing teeth getting you down? If so, you are not alone! Some of the most common concerns of Sparks, Hereford, and White Hall dental patients pertain to cosmetic dentistry procedures like teeth whitening.
With all the talk in Parkton of multi-procedure smile makeovers involving veneers, porcelain crowns, bridges, teeth whitening, dental implants, and invisible braces, sometimes the traditional dental filling is overlooked.
