Teeth Cleaning & Gum Disease
Report
Do your gums bleed when you brush or floss your teeth?
If they do, you should schedule a teeth cleaning appointment immediately.
And if your teeth and gums appear to be in perfect health, you should still have your teeth professionally cleaned regularly, even if you brush and floss every day.
Gingivitis is the medical term for early gum disease, or periodontal disease.
Gum disease originates in the gums, where infections form from harmful bacteria and other materials left behind from eating.
Early warning signs include chronic bad breath, tender or painful swollen gums and minor bleeding after brushing or flossing.

Cavities and White Dental Fillings
Report
A cavity is decay of a tooth caused by bacteria that are present in the mouth.
The bacteria feed on the sugars and starches in our diet and form sticky plaque to attach to the tooth.
The plaque also serves to capture food particles for the growing bacterial infection.
The byproducts of the bacteria are acidic and cause the minerals in the teeth to dissolve and weaken the enamel structure.
The weakened area will "cave in" or "cavitate" thus causing a "cavity" in the tooth.
This roughens the surface of the tooth and makes complete removal of the bacterial plaque impossible with regular cleaning.

Root Canal Therapy Endodontic Treatment
Report
Are you in pain?
Does it hurt when you eat food or drink something cold or hot?
Our Yuma Dental office specializes in root canal therapy and can help save your teeth and preserve your natural smile.
Inside each of your teeth is dental pulp.
Dental pulp has many important functions, such as providing your tooth with nerves and nutrients.
However, in the event it becomes infected or damaged, it can harm the well being of your tooth.
To protect your tooth and prevent it from dying, a root canal may need to be performed.

Tooth Extractions
Report
There are many reasons a tooth may need to be extracted and after a dental examination with Dr. Kim, a tooth extraction may be determined necessary.
Especially, if a tooth is severely decayed or broken and cannot be repaired.
However, Dr. Kim will discuss all options including alternatives with you.
If you work or live in the Yuma area and believe you may need to remove your wisdom teeth or have a regular tooth extraction, 16th Street Dental Care can help.
And our patients love that we handle the procedure in-house, and do not refer you to another oral surgery specialist.
