While there are many different dental procedures designed to address different dental situations, all of them usually fall into one of three different categories:
- Preventive dentistry,
- Restorative dentistry and
- Cosmetic dentistry.
At Today’s Dental our main focus is on preventive dentistry. Also helping you to establish and maintain optimal oral health. However, we recognize the desire for restorative and cosmetic dental procedures to address specific situations that compromise:
- Oral Health,
- Function,
- Comfort.
Therefore, in addition to our preventive dental procedures, we provide restorative and cosmetic services. We also provide the following three specific services:
Dentistry for Kids
Establishing and maintaining optimal oral hygiene habits and oral health does not begin only when you have already established all your permanent teeth. It begins much earlier, in infancy, to be exact.
That said, many parents can’t fathom why dentistry for kids is so vitally important. Considering babies don’t usually have teeth erupt before they are several months old, it takes some time for them to establish all their primary teeth. Even if these primary teeth suffer from injury or decay they will eventually be replaced by permanent teeth.
There may be some things parents should consider as regards their child’s dental health, including the fact that:
- Good oral health includes the health of one’s gums and entire oral cavity. This is even before teeth erupt in the mouth,
- As soon as primary teeth begin to erupt into, the natural existence of harmful oral bacteria can place the child’s oral health in danger,
- Healthy primary teeth, lay the foundation for healthy permanent teeth,
- Well established oral hygiene habits in one’s youth make it far easier to maintain it throughout the rest of one’s life.

Where teeth are lost due to injury or decay, the resultant gap must be closed as soon as possible in order to better preserve one’s oral structure, function and comfort. The main reason behind this is that where gaps occur in the mouth, the remaining natural teeth have a tendency to shift out of position in order to close the gap. Learn more
Proper oral hygiene habits are absolutely vital to both your oral and your overall health. These habits help to ensure the routine removal of the dental plaque that contributes to tooth decay and gum disease. This plaque contains harmful bacteria that, if it enters the bloodstream, can make its way to other areas of the body and cause extensive illness, disease and problems. Learn more
Of all the dental treatments your dentist performs, the ones they find to be the most beneficial to protecting, strengthening and maintaining your oral and overall health are preventive in nature. Preventive dentistry is the branch of general dentistry that is dedicated to helping individuals care for their teeth and mouths in such a way that they maintain optimal oral health.Learn more
