Hello everybody! I’m Dr. Fields, a cosmetic dentist in Van Nuys, California. I’ve been blogging every week because I’ve found it to be a great new way to communicate with my patients. It actually kind of reminds me of braces! Lots of people thing blogging might only be for teenagers, but its actually for adults too.

March 2, 2008

Hi there! Its Dr. Fields coming to you from Van Nuys, CA with my weekly blog and what I hope is a great message for you all about taking care of your teeth! What am I talking about this week? Fillings! It is a rare person, and a careful tooth-brusher, who has never had a cavity. Most people have had at least a few. The best thing of course is to brush after every meal, floss and have regular checkups to prevent getting cavities and needing fillings. Plus many of us got our fillings so many years ago that the old silver filling may need replacing! If you do have a cavity, what is the best thing to do?Come to visit Dr. Fields dentist office in Van Nuys, CA right away. Having your cavities replaced by fillings as soon as possible is the best thing that you can do.  What if I have fillings but hate looking at the silver?Years ago the only option in fillings was amalgam fillings. Today there are so many more choices, and your fillings don’t need to stand out in your mouth so that it looks like it’s filled with silver. New discreet tooth-colored fillings make it look as though you can hardly tell the fillings are there at all. How can I keep from having to get fillings?Brushing and flossing after every meal will prevent plaque from building up. Plaque build up is what can cause decay in your teeth. Brushing after you have had sugary foods is extra important. The other critical thing you can do is have regular check ups for cleaning at our office and have your fillings checked. Schedule yours today and get started on the right foot to prevent fillings. How does Dr. Fields take care of a cavity?I will do a careful examination to determine if you do have a cavity. Our next step is to remove the rotted part of your tooth. Then we will replace that part of the tooth with a filling. We have available the newest in fillings—tooth-colored fillings! We can also use an anesthetic to numb the area during the process. So whether you currently have a cavity and think you need fillings or you want to see if there are fillings that might look better in your mouth, make an appointment at Dr. Fields Van Nuys dentist office today! Regular check-ups are important and taking care of your cavity is critical. In our dentist office we will make sure to treat you like family and offer you excellent care for your teeth.
