Superior Patients Can Banish Bad Breath for Good with Tips from Drs. Doug and Doug Clark

September 17, 2013


Bad breath is, to put is simply, embarrassing. Also referred to as halitosis, this common condition can put a damper on your enthusiasm and confidence, keeping you from interacting fully with others for fear of embarrassment. If you’re already following a diligent oral hygiene routine, though, you may be at a loss for what to do to solve the problem. Thankfully, Drs. Clark and Clark at Hill Avenue Dentalare here to help! If you’re suffering from persistent bad breath, feel free to come in for a check-up at our Superior, WI office so that we can pinpoint the problem; after all, bad breath can often be a sign of a deeper problem. Alternatively, here are some helpful tips: 

  • Foul-smelling bacteria tend to gather on the back on the tongue, which can often go untouched during the oral hygiene routine due to how difficult it is to reach with a toothbrush. Invest in a tongue scraper! Using this tool will go a long way in helping keep bad breath under control.
  • Your condition may be caused by an overly dry mouth. Chewing sugarless gum can help facilitate the production of saliva, keeping your mouth clean and ridding you of any potentially smelly food particles left over from meals.
  • Using an anti-bacterial mouthwash can be a big help as well in banishing germs and other pesky particles that tend to cling to your teeth.
  • If your case of bad breath persists, be sure talk to our team or your regular doctor about your concerns.  Conditions such as diabetes can contribute to the issue; alternatively, a more serious oral issue could be at fault. Our team will be sure to find the cause!

Restore Full Health to Decayed or Damaged Teeth with Root Canal Therapy

September 2, 2013


Out of all the dental procedures a person can undergo, “root canal” always seems to be the phrase that strikes the most fear into patients’ hearts. While root canal therapy may have at one time been an overly invasive and painful procedure, our team at Hill Avenue Dental wants to be the first to let you know that with the help of advanced technology and anesthesia, this is no longer the case! In fact, teeth that are on the brink of extraction can often be brought back to full health with the help of root canal therapy. Drs. Clark and Clark will be happy to pass on these great benefits to your injured or damaged pearly whites as well!
What happens during root canal therapy?
It’s simple enough – we’ll first form an opening inside the affected tooth so that we can scoop out the infection-causing bacteria and diseased pulp. Once that’s done, we’ll fill the space with a natural colored filling before completing its structure with a brand-new, customized CEREC one-visit crown. After we’re finished, you’ll find it hard to tell that your tooth was ever infected in the first place! 
Will it hurt?
We’re happy to report that most patients say that root canal therapy hurts no more than a common filling. In fact, the process is tremendously successful; most teeth that undergo root canal therapy end up lasting a lifetime!
Contact our Superior, WI practice if you have any questions or concerns about root canal therapy, or if you’re ready to schedule an appointment. Our team is dedicated to providing patients with a wide variety of dental services guaranteed to leave smiles healthier and happier than ever before. We also serve the areas of the surrounding Douglas County and Northern Wisconsin area, as well as Duluth and other parts of Northeastern Minnesota.
