By following the information in this guide, you and your family can have healthy teeth and gums to last a lifetime. As a parent, you can work with your children to help them understand why good oral care is important - and show them how to do it right!
Our oral health can have a bigger impact on someone’s life than the cleanings and occasional filling address. Many patients who’ve had to deal with an injury, illness, jaw or bite problems, and simple wear and tear can have chronic issues that they don’t even know began in their mouth. Bruxism (tooth grinding), TMJ, periodontitis, crooked or misshapen teeth, and missing teeth can lead to headaches or migraines, toothaches, bad breath, or an unattractive smile. But it’s not necessary to just “live with” those problems. 
Teeth with damaged or infected roots used to require extraction, which can cause problems and should be avoided if possible. The good news is that we are highly experienced in the latest root canal therapies. A root canal is a procedure to repair teeth by removing the pulp of a tooth and replacing it with a filling material. This can be necessary when decay reaches the nerves of a tooth (or the teeth are infected), and a regular filling will not be suitable at this point. 
Dr. Kimball works closely with patients to build a bond of teamwork. One way we bring this about is by using a high-tech machine, our intra-oral camera. This incredible device is a tiny video camera that displays a closeup image of your mouth. You can see if treatment needs to be done and which teeth are healthy. You then are included as a participant in the dental decisions. We think you’ll love how this technology works!
