The honest truth about wisdom teeth - and why waiting makes it worse.

Most patients come in saying “but they don’t hurt.” Pain is always the last symptom. By the time it hurts, there’s already damage happening beneath the surface.

At Lakeside Dental we remove wisdom teeth every day - comfortably, under IV sedation. Most patients don’t remember a thing. 😴

Here’s what we look for:
🔹 No room to erupt fully
🔹 Bacteria trapping under the gum
🔹 Damage to the neighboring molar
🔹 Signs of cyst or infection on X-ray

Not everyone needs them out. But if we’re recommending removal- we’ll show you exactly why on your X-ray.

🦷✨ Did you know? Dental sealants aren’t just for kids!

Sealants are often recommended for children to protect their teeth from cavities—but adults can benefit, too. This simple, painless treatment adds an extra layer of defense against decay, helping keep your smile strong and healthy at any age.

👉 Ask your dentist if sealants are right for you and enjoy added protection for years to come!

Dental abscess is one of the most dangerous things people brush off. 😳
What starts as a throbbing tooth can spread to your jaw, your neck, and in serious cases- your airway.
The signs are there. Most people just don’t know what they’re looking at.
✔️ Throbbing pain that pulses
✔️ Gum that looks like it has a pimple
✔️ Face or jaw starting to swell
✔️ Fever or bad taste in your mouth
If that sounds familiar -please don’t wait.
We offer same-day emergency appointments at Lakeside Dental because this is exactly the kind of thing that cannot wait.

Save this. Someone you know needs to see it. 💛

This little guy? My 4-year-old son-already a pro in the dental chair. 😄

So when SHOULD your child have their first dental visit?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the first checkup by age 1 or within 6 months of that very first tooth coming in. By age 3–4, kids should be coming in every 6 months just like adults.

Here’s why it matters more than most parents realize:

🔹 Baby teeth are not “just temporary.” They hold space for adult teeth and play a huge role in speech, chewing, and confidence.

🔹 Early visits build lifelong habits. A child who grows up comfortable in the dental chair is an adult who actually comes to the dental chair.

🔹 We catch problems before they become big ones. Early decay, bite development, spacing concerns -we see it all early when it’s easiest to treat.

🔹 It’s about education, not just exams. We coach parents on brushing technique, diet, and what to watch for at home.

At Lakeside Dental, we’re proud to be a truly comprehensive practice -meaning we take care of everyone in your family, from the littlest smiles to grandma and grandpa. One trusted team. Every stage of life. 🦷

Because healthy smiles start earlier than you think. 😃
