Run your tongue along the gumline behind your lower front teeth. Do you feel a ridge? This is probably tartar or dental calculus. Even if you brush and floss regularly, plaque and tartar can gradually accumulate. If not removed, these bacteria-breeding substances cause the gums to become irritated and swollen. Eventually, the gums become detached…

“Hereford Dental Health Treats Cankers Sores, Lesions, and Fever Blisters”

Though not contagious, the most common complaint is canker sores, which affect an estimated eighty percent of the Sparks population. Canker sores can be attributed to stress, tissue irritation, or acidic foods. Dr. Craig Longenecker can prescribe a topical dental paste to relieve pain and guard against infection. Recurring canker sores can sometimes be a symptom of a larger health problem.

Is It Growing In Your Mouth?

Believe it or not plaque can rear its ugly head in any Monkton mouth – even yours – no matter how meticulous you try to be. If you have deep grooves, watch out. If you have a receding gum line, watch out. If you are a candy-loving Monkton resident with the proverbial sweet tooth, watch out.

Monkton Cosmetic Dental Artistry

In order to achieve an attractive, yet natural looking result, I do much more than recommend specific procedures.

I can’t say enough good things! The reception staff is always very friendly and thoughtful and seems to remembers you personally. The waiting area space is very clean and relaxing like a cozy country living room. The dental hygienist came up with resourceful solutions and the dentist is good natured and brings a very calming presence and was very informative and takes his time to inform and answer questions. The equipment is modern and unlike anything I have ever seen; pictures are taken of your teeth so you can see all of your issues up close and personal which is motivating! The sonic teeth cleaning tool is more comfortable than a scraper and doesn’t make any high pitched or whining noises which I have never experienced before coming here! My son loves it here too! Thank you Hereford Dental!

I am a retired dental hygienist and when it came to be my turn to sit in the patient chair, I chose Dr. Longenecker and his amazing team! I broke my front tooth in half 38 years ago and I knew that one day, it would need to be removed and an implant placed. Dr. Longenecker explained everything perfectly, placed me in the best hands of a great periodontist who he trusts and works with closely and made this dreaded situation much easier than I had anticipated it to be. He made me perfect prosthetics so I wouldn't have a huge open space in my smile during the process. Dr. Longenecker takes his time, listens to you and explains things perfect. He goes above and beyond to make sure the end result is the best cosmetic result possible. I highly recommend him and his awesome team.

Highly recommend! Dr. Longenecker and his team are the best! I moved further away and still travel to see them every 6 months because they do the best teeth cleanings! I’m a “plaque build up person” and they’re the best at giving me a fresh clean start each time with their attention to detail, talent, and great equipment. Thank you for being professional, talented, and always making me smile when I leave. 5 stars!
