November 18th, 2013 (No Comments)

Have you ever heard the word “bruxism” before? Chances are good that you’re aware of the condition, even if you don’t know it by its proper name. This is the technical term that our Federal Way family dentistry uses to describe chronic tooth-grinding. Not only is grinding an irritating and generally painful habit to get […]

At the risk of sounding like a nagging parent, our Federal Way Dentistry would be remiss if we didn’t impress upon you the importance of proper flossing habits.

You probably don’t need our Federal Way Dentistry to tell you that you should stop smoking.

The common wisdom is that you should brush after every meal. The logic seems to make sense: if you brush away the food detritus as soon as possible, it doesn’t get much time to attack your mouth.

Do you have a piercing in your lip, tongue, or cheek? As much as a well-chosen bit of facial jewelry can have a certain romance to it, your Federal Way Dentistry advises you to take particular care of your teeth while sporting such adornments. Oral piercings put you at a lot of extra risk of […]

The Importance of Baby Teeth

September 23rd, 2013 (No Comments)

Some parents don’t think that their children’s baby teeth are worth worrying about too much. After all, baby teeth, or “primary teeth”, are only going to fall out in a few years anyway. However, this is a potentially dangerous attitude that your Federal Way dentist strongly cautions you against. Remember that your child’s primary teeth […]
