Halloween is just weeks away, but many people have already started preparing for the event, and others have likely even enjoyed some early seasonal celebrations. We associate many things with this holiday, such as costumes, scary movies, and fun decorations, but trick-or-treating and Halloween candy can be one of the best known ways to celebrate. As fun as it can be to take your kids out trick-or-treating, and as nice as it can be to offer up goodies to visitors, our exposure to Halloween candy at this time of year can make trouble for our teeth. Fortunately, patients at our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office can count on important preventive services as well as access to treatment if holiday celebrations lead to dental troubles! (more…)

Dental Appointments And Gingivitis
What kind of feedback should you expect at a regular dental appointment? Reviewing your oral health during a checkup calls for more than just a study of your teeth.

When A Root Canal Is Required
What will it take to make sure your cavity is no longer a threat to your smile or oral health?

At our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office, we are prepared to take this step when it is needed to effectively restore your vulnerable tooth. With that said, we can also provide the kind of ongoing support that leads to care before a problem can become this serious. (more…)
