New Year’s Resolution: Take Care Of My Teeth

General Dentistry, Geoffry E. Hallstead, DMD

Did we recommend a treatment the last time you visited our office and you have delayed or avoided scheduling your appointment? We know the last few months have been hectic with the holiday season, but now that the new year has begun, it is the perfect time to re-evaluate your oral health. We encourage you to schedule your appointment today for the treatment we suggested. Delaying dental treatment can leave you with the need for additional treatments and added expenses. Read on to learn more about why needed dental treatments should not be ignored.

Why Are My Gums Bleeding?

General Dentistry, Geoffry E. Hallstead, DMD, Patient Education

Do you notice there is always a pink tint to the water when you rinse your mouth after brushing? If so, then you may have bleeding gums. While it is never a good thing to experience this, bleeding gums can occur from time to time, especially if you brush too vigorously or your toothbrush is too hard. It can be concerning when you experience it frequently, and it is usually an indication that something else is going on with your oral health.
