Painful, infected teeth are not a pleasant experience, but they are common symptoms of tooth decay. The good news however is that tooth decay is preventable. Your best defense against decay is a daily oral hygiene routine, as well as regular visits to our office. It can be helpful to know more about tooth decay and what causes it so that you are better equipped with the knowledge to prevent it.
Sugar is a leading cause of tooth decay. Sugar build-up and deposits on your teeth lead to the erosion of the tooth. While it is important to be mindful of the sugary products you are consuming, sugar is not the only culprit in causing tooth decay. Acids can also damage your teeth. Foods that are high in acidic content can speed up the process of decay. Our dentist in 51245 suggests you avoid drinks and candies with high sugar or acid content. If you find yourself consuming such things, make sure to keep up with your daily oral hygiene routine.
Decay doesnt always have noticeable signs. When discomfort is felt, it could be a sign the decay has spread beyond one tooth. In other words, by the time you do feel it decay is far along. This can be prevented by regular visits to our office. Our doctor can help identify potential issues early and you will receive the best possible treatments for your teeth.
All age groups are equally at risk of developing tooth decay. Parents should keep an eye on their childrens sugary snacks and treats, but this advice holds true for everyone. Senior citizens are particularly vulnerable because of certain medications can damage their teeth. It is essential that all age groups are receiving twice-yearly dental examinations.
Tooth decay is a common dental issue. However, with the right knowledge you can prevent damage to your teeth. Watch your diet and make sure you limit sugary candies and snacks. Remember, you wont always be able to see or feel decay, so contact our office to schedule a regular visit.

Amazing office! Originally, only my children were patients here. Seeing how everyone interacted and had such great chemistry made me switch to them for myself as well! Dr.Stubbe and staff have been nothing short of spectacular to all of us!

The staff was very gentle and kind. My kids have had bad experiences with other dentists in other states. But this place was welcoming and pleasant. The talked to my kids and told them what they were doing instead of just sticking tools in their mouth. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Also the place was clean and dust free.

Amazing service and wondeful work! I had an embarrassing amount of damage to my front teeth. My own fault for neglecting a check up for so long. These ladies were professional, informative, and the service was absolutely 5 stars. I'm returning to get more work done in a couple weeks. My family is visiting from AL after our house was almost completely wrecked during hurricane Sally. I grew up in the area and could not be happier finding a hometown office to support and brag about. If you're looking for an amazing place to brighten your smile. This is the place.
