Your Riverside child’s dental health is essential to overall health and vitality. At Greenway Dental Excellence, our Riverside pediatric dentists love working with you and your child to ensure a healthy smile for life. Why? The health of your Riverside child’s teeth and gums can affect their speech development, eating habits and self-esteem.

Redlands pediatric dental care is critical, and that is why we recommend bringing your Riverside child in for a first exam before age one, or when their first tooth erupts. During the initial visit, we can discuss Riverside dental treatments such as sealants, fluoride treatments, brushing and flossing techniques and California orthodontics.

Redlands children’s dentists also counsel parents about thumb-sucking, pacifier use and other habits that affect your child’s Riverside pediatric dental health. We can also help you keep your child’s teeth protected during sporting activities. Call us immediately at 951.786.0600 if your child has a dental emergency or Lake Elsinore tooth injury.

Our caring staff will make your child feel comfortable during their Riverside dental visit.

In additional to offering experienced Riverside kid’s dentistry, we are also a full-service California dental clinic. We offer advice and care on Lake Elsinore lumineers, Riverside tooth implants, Upland teeth whitening, Riverside tooth bonding, and Greenway Dental Excellence restorative dentistry.

We hope to be your Riverside children’s dentist consultant.

To remain dense, your jaw bone requires the continual stimulation and pressure of chewing, biting and talking. Each of your teeth has a root structure attached to the surrounding bone material. As each tooth absorbs the forces of everyday mouth function, it stimulates the bone to which the root is attached.

When a tooth is extracted, the jaw bone that previously surrounded the root structure begins to recede. Though tooth extraction is often the only possible treatment for our Riverside patients with tooth damage beyond repair, every effort should be made to preserve the root structure.

Fortunately, tooth implants provide a new root which keeps the surrounding bone healthy and strong. A dental implant consists of a titanium post which is placed in the jaw bone. It replaces the original root and eventually integrates into the surrounding bone. After the implant has been placed and the surrounding bone has healed and meshed with the implant, a post is inserted into the implant. The new artificial tooth, or crown, is then attached to the post. Implant restoration is a safe and effective treatment for tooth loss.

To learn more about dental implants, call Kurt Greenway at 951.786.0600. The friendly professionals at Greenway Dental Excellence in Riverside provide world-class dental treatment for patients in Redlands and the surrounding areas.

There is nothing like bright white teeth that light up a person’s whole face when they smile and laugh. No one has to settle for dull, yellow teeth.

This is a great time for Redlands men, women and teens to get a deep teeth cleaning and tooth whitening at Greenway Dental Excellence in Riverside. With a deep cleaning followed by teeth bleaching, your teeth will feel as good as they look.

If you have an important upcoming event such as a Riverside wedding, Upland party or formal family portrait sitting, a smile makeover will give you extra confidence as you pose for photos (even close-ups).

Lake Elsinore teeth bleaching can whiten teeth beyond their natural shade. At our Riverside cosmetic dentistry practice, we don’t use a conventional shade chart for our Upland whitening clients anymore. You have probably seen the porcelain tabs in graduated shades that Riverside tooth whitening dentists use to determine appropriate, yet natural looking, shades for tooth restorations. We now use a shade guide with levels significantly whiter than the guides we have used in the past. Tooth whitening is not a gimmick; it is safe and incredibly effective. Redlands tooth bleaching clients can maintain a white shade that equals the brightness of the ‘tooth’ models you see in dental marketing.

Lake Elsinore tooth whitening following twice-yearly cleanings is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. Tooth bleaching in Riverside is comparable to the cost of a professional hair weaving and cut, but when you consider the transformation; there is no comparison! Flash your gorgeous, sparkling smile, and no one will even notice your hair.

Maintaining healthy teeth is an important concern for our local Redlands residents. As your Doctor, it’s my job to help you understand how to care for your teeth and to keep them healthy.

Everyone in the Redlands knows that maintaining healthy teeth requires regular daily brushing and flossing. Regular visits to your local Redlands dental practice is also necessary to keep watch for cavities and to help you maintain proper dental hygiene. We often forget that maintaining a healthy diet can also be beneficial for the health of your teeth.

A Redlands diet that includes foods that help your muscles and bones will also help you develop healthy gums and healthy teeth. Examples of local Redlands foods to include in your diet include foods rich in vitamin B such as breads and cereals. Foods rich in vitamin C, usually fruits and vegetables, help improve the health of your gums. Zinc and magnesium are also good for the health of your teeth and are found in foods like lean beef, fish, and poultry.

All foods increase the production of saliva. Saliva is important to healthy teeth because it helps to maintain the pH balance in your mouth. Maintaining this balance helps keep your teeth and gums healthy. Foods high in fiber also encourage saliva production as does the chewing of sugar-free gum. Gum, however, can damage unhealthy teeth or pull out dental fillings, so always use caution when deciding whether to chew gum and which brand to chew.

Just as certain diet choices in the Redlands area can be beneficial to the health of your teeth, others can be detrimental. Foods and drinks that are high in sugars are more likely to form the acids that attack your teeth and result in decay. And while table sugar is often associated with the formation of cavities, other sugars such as glucose, fructose, and maltose are also causes, and are often found in juices and sodas. Limiting the consumption of sugars to mealtimes lessens the amount of time your healthy teeth are exposed.

Making good diet choices and limiting between meal sugar consumption can improve the health of your teeth and gums.
