Replace Your Amalgam Fillings with Composite Fillings in Los Fresnos
April 22, 2016
Amalgam fillings have held a common place in dentistry for more than 150 years to repair cavities and for other restorative procedures. While the metal fillings are effective, they are very noticeable, causing you to feel uncomfortable about your smile. Not to mention, the fillings contain trace amounts of mercury. While the FDA states the fillings are safe for those over 6 years of age, there is evidence the fillings can lead to health complications. As a result, many are now turning to composite fillings. The tooth-colored fillings not only match the color of enamel for a seamless repair, but also contain no mercury for a safer alternative. Los Fresnos Dental Center offers the natural-colored fillings to repair your smile without the use of unsightly metal.

Why You Should Make It Your New Year’s Resolution to Floss Daily
January 11, 2016
- It’s a New Year! The New Year is a time for new starts, and this year you can make a resolution to start flossing every day. The benefits are greater than you may think!
- Avoid plaque build up! When you eat, food can get stuck between your teeth. When this is left unchecked, it can cause serious plaque build-up which can lead to bad breath, cavities, and gum disease. Plaque builds up naturally after you eat, and this sticky substance is notorious for causing the mentioned problems and more. Even if you brush regularly and your teeth look okay, neglecting to floss can only do harm. Cavities can form in hard to reach places such as between teeth, making them go unnoticed until you’re in serious pain and in desperate need of a dental visit.
