Having a healthy, beautiful smile is important to both dentists and patients. It can give patients higher self-esteem and confidence, and dentists are proud to offer the services to assist their patients in achieving and maintaining their dream smiles. For patients who are looking for a dentist in Gladewater, Dr. Bruyere, can assist. Although his practice is located in Longview, he serves patients from all cities in the area.
Dr. Bruyere is committed to helping his patients with their oral hygiene and assists them in keeping their smiles healthy. Patients are always advised to include brushing and flossing in their daily routines. While brushing and flossing after every meal is the best scenario, it may not always be possible. However, patients who brush twice a day and floss once a day and maintain regular appointments with their dentist, will often enjoy a healthy smile for life. Those who are unsure of the proper flossing technique, or have questions about how to brush their teeth, can talk to Dr. Bruyere about dental care techniques.
Teeth that have experienced dental decay should be addressed as soon as possible, before the problem becomes more severe. Dr. Bruyere of the Gladewater area uses dental fillings to repair teeth that have developed cavities. When cavities are filled, the problem is prevented from progressing further. This is essential to avoid future problems such as the need for root canal therapy or extraction.
Additionally, patients who clench and grind their teeth during the day or at night may benefit from an oral appliance called a bite guard. These can help protect the teeth from unusual wear and tear caused by the grinding and clenching. Patients who struggle with TMJ issues or who have been diagnosed with TMD may use a bite plate to reduce the pain, tension, and headaches that are associated with this disorder.
Dr. Bruyere is proud to offer dental care education to patients, and is available to answer question from new and existing patients. If you are in the Gladewater area and you would like to visit Dr. Bruyere in Longview, call today to schedule your initial consultation appointment!
