Hill Avenue Dental: The Family Dentist Superior, WI Trusts

465162307Medicine is a field of specialists: pediatrician, obstetrician, rheumatologist, allergist, pulmonologist, dermatologist, and the list goes on and on. Fortunately, when it comes to dentistry, you only need one dentist to take care of almost all your family’s dental needs. Hill Avenue Dental is the family dentist Superior, WI, and surrounding communities turn to for their family’s complete dental care.

The foundation of family dentistry is the dental checkup. Dr. Doug Clark, Jr. and Dr. Doug Clark III would like to see you and your family members at least twice each year. With these regularly scheduled checkups, we can keep an eye on your oral health and spot any concerns before they become problems with painful or eventually expensive symptoms.

At a checkup, we’ll clean your teeth and remove any plaque buildup; we’ll assess the health of your gums, looking for warning signs of gum disease; and we’ll take digital x-rays to uncover any hidden spots of decay lurking between teeth, or signs of infection below the gum line. Of course, if we find anything warranting treatment, we’ll want to treat with expediency, whether that be repairing a cavity with a tooth-colored filling, fending off gum disease with root scaling and planing, or fortifying your teeth’s enamel with fluoride.

More about Family Dentistry

At Hill Avenue Dental, checkups are also a time to discuss other preventive measures that might be a good idea for some of your family. For example, children in particular benefit from dental sealants. These are applied as a liquid to your child’s molars and then harden to form a solid barrier against the bacteria that causes tooth decay. And if you or your children are involved in any kind of athletics, then you’ll want to be outfitted for a customized mouthguard that will protect your teeth, gums and tongue while you play.

With the holidays just around the corner, there are probably office parties and family gatherings on the calendar. Do you have your party outfits picked out or purchased? Regardless of what you’re wearing, no outfit is complete without a smile. This season, make sure your smile is as white as can be with teeth whiteningfrom Hill Avenue Dental, your dentist in Superior, WI.
Take a look at your smile in the mirror or in a photograph of yourself. Look closely. Do your teeth seem discolored? Well, you’re not alone. Millions of adults have, well, “off white” smiles. The reasons our teeth discolor run the gamut from unavoidable to somewhat preventable:
  •         The foods and beverages we consume, such as carrots and blueberries, coffee and red wine
  •          Tobacco products
  •          Certain antibiotics or excessive consumption of fluoride
  •          The wear and tear on teeth as we age
  •          Teeth grinding, which causes imperceptible cracks in the teeth where debris and stains can accumulate
  •          Injuries that cause larger cracks where staining builds

Ease Your Pain with Root Canal Therapy from Your Dentist in Superior, WI

November 10, 2014

Filed under: dentist in Superior,Dr. Doug Clark,family dentist in Superior,Hill Avenue Dental,root canal therapy superior — tntadmin @ 6:05 pm
Perhaps the pain started as a minor annoyance. Something you noticed when you were chewing on that side of your mouth. But now, there’s no denying it—you have a serious toothache and the pain is getting worse. If the problem is decay or a crack that extends deep into the tooth, then root canal therapy may be the solution. Hill Avenue Dental is the family dentist in Superior, WI, you can turn to for gentle care and professional treatment when a root canal is needed.

Root Canal Therapy and Your Tooth

A tooth is more than what you see. Inside the tooth, there is soft tissue that is commonly called pulp. This pulp tissue contains nerve and blood connections. Toothache pain is often the result of infection that develops when this pulp is exposed to bacteria that commonly lives in the mouth. This exposure may be due to severe tooth decay or a penetrating crack in the tooth. In addition to the pain that such an infection usually causes (although some patients report not feeling any pain despite infection), there is the threat of the infection spreading or causing an abscess at the tip of the root.

At Hill Avenue Dental, your dentist in Superior, WI, Dr. Doug Clark Jr. and Dr. Doug Clark III will use the latest in dental technology to painlessly repair your aching tooth. During a root canal, the dentist carefully removes the tooth’s pulp and meticulously cleans out the infection and any debris. Then, the tooth is disinfected and the root is filled with a natural, biocompatible material. Once the tooth has healed and the root canal is determined to be successful, Dr. Clark or Dr. Clark will place a crown on the tooth for protection and to restore the tooth’s functionality.

Schedule an Appointment Today

If you or someone you care for has a toothache, please call our office today to schedule an appointment for one of our dentist’s to determine whether or not a root canalis necessary. Hill Avenue Dental, your family dentist in Superior, WI, also conveniently serves patients in Northern Wisconsin, Northeastern Minnesota, Duluth and Douglas County and beyond.
