Tooth Loss: It’s never that simple. Extraction of a tooth will just lead to other issues down the road. Sometimes it makes sense just to take out a tooth and sometimes it makes sense to save the tooth. Many factors come into play regarding that decision. Scheduling routine preventative care will always be the cheapest option. Schedule yours for the new year…..

This is what an untreated cavity really looks like — from the inside.

The dark area at the top is advanced dental caries, where bacteria have destroyed the enamel and dentin. Beneath it lies the pulp chamber, rich in nerves and blood vessels — shown here inflamed and exposed.

Once decay reaches this depth, pain is no longer just “toothache.” It is nerve infection, inflammation, and a gateway for bacteria to enter the bloodstream.

At this stage, a simple filling is no longer enough. Treatment usually requires root canal therapy or extraction — both more complex, costly, and invasive than early care.

Winter Car Preparations: Did you know this works great on cars to help keep doors from freezing shut & windows operational? Simply spray this on rubber gaskets around door and lightly around windows while window is down. It helps prevent moisture from freezing the door shut and aids in the movement of windows so you don’t have to get out of the car when picking up that Pumpkin Spice coffee.
