If you are looking for a welcoming family dental practice that provides caring, high-quality, and affordable dental care, you have found it. Oahu Dental Care in Honolulu has been offering the best in everything from cosmetic dentistry to teeth cleaning and braces to dentures for years. They have designed their practice specifically so that it truly serves the whole family, from the youngest member to the oldest.

If there’s one time that is important for your family to come into the dentist office, it’s the month following Halloween. With all the candy and sticky, sugary treats, it’s not unusual to have tooth pain. If you do, come in for an examination as soon as possible. A professional teeth cleaning after this sugary holiday can do wonders to prevent:

• Plaque buildup
• Damaged enamel
• Infection
• Cavities
• Tooth pain

When sugar is left on the surface of your teeth, it turns into an acid that eats away at their protective enamel covering. This is when cavities begin to form. Without proper treatment, that cavity will grow, get more painful, and possibly get infected. Most of the time, a simple filling is enough to stop the pain and risk of a cavity, but if it is left to grow, the only recourse may be a root canal or a tooth extraction.

Hopefully you had fun this Halloween, but if you or your family have any tooth pain after the festivities, call Oahu Dental Care at (808) 456-5005 to make your first appointment. You can also learn more about their services online.
