In the US, we are accustomed to think of tooth decay as being the main danger to our teeth. Tooth decay is when oral bacteria generate acid and cause small holes — cavities — to appear in our teeth. Tooth erosion is something different, though.

Tooth erosion is when your teeth are being worn down by environmental factors. It can drastically cause the reduction of your tooth enamel, leading to the need for cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry.

Read some of the common causes of tooth erosion and how they can be treated at rocklandsmiles.com/blog/what-is-tooth-erosion-and-why-do-you-have-it.

Many Americans suffer from dental anxiety, which causes them to avoid cleanings, exams, and important treatments. According to the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, approximately 30 percent of the U.S. population avoids dental visits thanks to this fear. Unfortunately, all too often, this leads to neglect which can result in poor oral hygiene and the need for extensive remedial care.

Fortunately, there is an alternative. Sedation dentistry can help you have a comfortable experience at the dentist. Learn more about sedation dentistry at rocklandsmiles.com/sedation-dentistry/.

In the past when a patient had extremely worn or cracked teeth, sometimes composite fillings weren’t enough. So cosmetic dentists were forced to use dental crowns to fix the problem. Still, it was frustrating to have to remove so much healthy tooth structure in preparation to place a dental crown. Then, cosmetic dentists came up with a new alternative that is more conservative: porcelain dental inlays and dental onlays. Using dental inlays, dentists are able to forgo using a tooth crown and instead are able to use something a bit more effective, conservative, and efficient.

Summers in Rockland County are nice. Not too hot, but hot enough for most of us. It’s a time to get out and get active by going for a bike ride, running, hiking, or swimming, kayaking, or paddleboarding at Rockland Lake or Mirror Lake.
