Dental Bonding Services
Dental bonding is a dental process used to correct chipped, broken, or discolored teeth.
It is a relatively simple procedure that can be used to improve minor cosmetic problems. A colored resin is applied and shaped on the tooth resulting in a change in the tooth’s appearance.
1. Your dentist will select a resin color most similar to your current teeth.
2. An adhesive bonding material is applied to the tooth. The special colored resin is then shaped by the dentist on the bonding material. Once the resin had been molded into the new shape on your tooth a laser is used to harden the resin. Once the resin has been hardened the dentist does a final polish on the tooth to ensure a more natural look.

When he’s feeling under the weather, ADA dentist Dr. Gene Romo says one thing always helps him feel a little more like himself. “Brushing my teeth when I’m sick actually makes me feel better,” he says. “My mouth feels clean, and in a way, I feel like my health is starting to improve.”
When you have a cold or the flu, taking care of your body is your top priority—and that includes your mouth. “It’s important to take care of your dental health all year round, but especially when you’re sick,” Dr. Romo says.
Here are some simple ways to care for your dental health when you’re not feeling well:

COVID-19: What to Expect at Your Dental Appointment
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed a lot of things about our daily lives. Your regular visits to the dentist have changed, too. In March, the ADA recommended that dentists postpone all but emergency procedures until April 30 at the earliest to help reduce the spread of the virus; save masks gloves and other personal protective equipment and help keep patients who need emergency treatment from going to busy hospital emergency rooms.
Now that this date has passed and states have reopened, dental practices are seeing patients for the full range of dental services.

So, Is Sparkling Water Affecting My Teeth?
According to available research, sparkling water is generally fine for your teeth—and here's why. In a study using teeth that were removed as a part of treatment and donated for research, researchers tested to see whether sparkling water would attack tooth enamel more aggressively than regular lab water. The result? The two forms of water were about the same in their effects on tooth enamel. This finding suggests that, even though sparkling water is slightly more acidic it's all just water to your teeth.
