At Salt Lake Dental Care, one of the most common complaints we hear from Murray dentistry patients is problems with mouth sores.
There are many different kinds of oral lesions which can make eating and talking painful. Some are annoying but harmless, while other sores are more serious and require medical intervention.
At Salt Lake Dental Care we know that many Murray children are afraid of going to the dentist. I am Clint Blackwood, and my staff and I at Salt Lake Dental Care want to make your child’s first visit to my Murray practice a positive experience. Regular dental check-ups from toddler age are an essential part of oral hygiene.
When my Murray patients ask me about tooth restoration, I usually tell them about fixed (or ‘traditional’) dental bridges or tooth implants. A dental bridge is an artificial tooth which replaces a missing tooth. The false tooth (called a ‘pontic’) is fused to porcelain crowns on either side of the missing tooth.
Over time, tea can stain the plaque that may eventually turn into tartar. Plaque can be brushed and flossed away. Thorough daily rituals of oral cleaning are valuable for this. Tartar (which forms if the plaque remains on the teeth for over 24 hours), on the other hand, will need to be removed in-office during a teeth cleaning appointment. Either way, between cleanings a wise method for avoiding tea staining is to rinse with water after drinking tea or to eat something and then to be sure to brush and floss all surfaces of the teeth at the end of the day.
Making sure to purchase products with the seal is practically like shopping with your Murray dentist or dental hygienist right by your side!
At Salt Lake Dental Care, we perform cosmetic and restorative crown lengthening for patients in the Murray, Sandy and Taylorsville area. The surgery can be performed by a general dentist, periodontist or oral surgeon.
Murray cosmetic dentistry can not only improve your smile, it can improve the health of your teeth. It can also make your face more attractive and younger-looking. In addition, it can help with TMJ issues, and it definitely boosts your self-esteem!

Be prepared to provide your Murray dentist with information. Whether you are experiencing specific pain at that moment, or anticipating a problem, be sure to discuss everything with your dentist. Many patients become intimidated in the office environment and avoid expressing pain or discussing issues. As your dentist, I need to know everything you are experiencing and will be better prepared to help as you ask questions and express your concerns.
