Twice yearly dental check-ups and cleanings help catch problems when they are small and easier to treat. Left unattended, small treatable problems become worse and may require more extensive, expensive procedures to repair. Learn more about Dental Cleanings Pediatric DentistryAt Erik P.

Brushing your teeth before or after flossing is less important than whether you floss or not.

While collision and contact sports, such as boxing, are higher-risk sports for the mouth, you can experience a dental injury in non-contact activities too, such as gymnastics and skating. Learn more about Sports Mouthguards Night Guards and BruxismBruxism (teeth grinding) can cause moderate to severe long-term damage to teeth. Constant grinding wears down the surface of the tooth, exposing the soft dentin beneath the enamel. This is why it's important to protect your teeth while you sleep by wearing a bite guard.

For mild or moderate forms of sleep apnea, our professionals may suggest oral appliance therapy. Learn more about Sleep Apnea |
