See Your Chandler Dentist Immediately

If you have gum disease, optimal treatment results depend on addressing the disease as early as possible. The sooner you receive professional dental care, the better your treatment outcome will be. At a dental checkup in Chandler, Dr. Arooni will scrupulously search for signs of gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, and determine a treatment to address the infection. If you notice any symptoms of periodontal disease, including bleeding gums, deep red or purple gum tissue, or chronic bad breath, contact our Chandler dental office as soon as possible.

Schedule Scaling and Root Planing in Chandler

Our experienced dentist is skilled in the art of complete and thorough infection removal. If Dr. Arooni detects plaque buildup that has created a pocket between your teeth and gums, scaling and root planing may be necessary. Also called deep cleaning, this simple procedure involves using special dental tools to remove the infection from around the tooth all the way to the root tip below the gum line. Once the tooth root is cleaned and smoothed, the gum tissue will eventually heal and reattach to the tooth.

Consider Antibiotics to Fight Periodontal Infection

At Lakeview Dental Care, we provide antibiotics to help thoroughly fight gum disease. Sometimes, Dr. Arooni will place antibiotic fibers between the tooth and gum to treat bacterial infection directly at the source. Along with scaling and root planing, antibiotics have been proven to effectively halt the progression of gum disease and prevent further harm to your oral health.

Chandler Dentist Explains Causes of Tooth Sensitivity

lakeviewdentalnews / May 3, 2012 / No comments

Why Eating Ice Cream Hurts

Tooth sensitivity can keep you from comfortably eating the foods you love because hot or cold temperatures feel painful in contact with your teeth. For people with extreme tooth sensitivity, even breathing hot or cold air may feel like a toothache. Tooth sensitivity is often a sign of underlying dental issues. Our Chandler dentist, Dr. Arooni will explain some of the reasons why you may be feeing toothache.

Strong Tooth Enamel is Essential to Healthy Teeth

To explain how tooth sensitivity occurs, here is some brief information about the structure of the tooth. In the center of your tooth is the pulp. The pulp center houses all of your tooth’s nerves, blood cells, and living tissue. The layer above the tooth pulp is the dentin. This softer layer is made of microscopic tubes which transmit pressure and temperature sensations to the tooth pulp. Protecting the soft layer of dentin is the hardest tissue your body can create, enamel. This harder-than-platinum layer on the outside of your tooth protects the sensitive interior from tooth decay and extreme heat or cold. When certain dental issues wear away tooth enamel, your smile has less defense against bacteria and acid erosion.

Common Causes of Enamel Erosion

Weakened tooth enamel can leave your mouth at risk of excessive tooth decay and even chipping or cracking. Understanding the habits or dental conditions that harm your tooth enamel can help you take steps to protect your smile defenses. Here are some causes of weakened tooth enamel:

  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • TMJ disorder
  • Harsh brushing or using hard-bristled toothbrushes
  • Excessive teeth whitening
  • Eating too much sugar
  • Drinking acidic beverages
  • Untreated tooth decay
  • Forgetting to floss
  • Bulimia or excessive vomiting
