A toothache is a condition often present in a tooth that can range from mild to debilitating pain. Often times the pain arises from the nerve endings in the pulp either damaged or infected. A variety of reasons could be the root cause for the pain and the damage, including oral accidents, cavities, infection, tooth loss, unseen damage, and other internal health issues.

Sometimes, toothaches can cause other symptoms to flare up, including fevers, chills, and facial rashes. If you think that a toothache may be to blame for your facial pain, seek out your dentist for further treatment.

Another common sign of a toothache is pain that continues even after taking pain relievers and medications. Furthermore, toothaches can sometimes be visually present in your mouth, and take the shape of inflammations or swelling around a tooth, such as in the form of an abscess or discharge. If you have recently had an oral accident, then it is likely that a toothache may have occurred as the result of blunt trauma or other direct harm inflicted onto a tooth.

If you suffer from a toothache, contact Plaza Dental Care at 707-642-1360 to see which treatment is right for you. If you are looking for a dentist in Vallejo, California, you can schedule an oral examination with Dr. Khashayar Khomejany and our team at our dentist office. Let us help you achieve a healthy smile!

Little did you know, eating disorders haunt and attack your smile each time you try to lose more and more weight. Obviously, disorders destroy your body, but they can also destroy your oral health. This is why it’s so important to quit the disorder as soon as possible. You deserve to have a strong and healthy body and smile. Until you eliminate the disorder from your life, Dr. Khashayar Khomejany and our dental team encourage you to take care of your teeth and gums by using our tips.

First, keep your smile in tip-top shape by keeping up on oral hygiene. Oral hygiene is vital if you want a healthy, beautiful, and strong smile. So, don’t forget to brush your teeth twice a day, floss your smile once a day, and rinse your mouth daily. Please make sure to use the proper oral hygiene instruments while doing these things so you can clean your pearly whites and care for your oral tissues.

Second, rinse your mouth. After throwing up, please refrain from brushing your teeth. Brushing will just worsen the effects of the acid in your bile. This can lead to further enamel erosion. Instead, rinse your mouth with baking soda to neutralize the stomach acid.

Third, see Dr. Khashayar Khomejany. It’s very important that you visit them every six months. The appointments will allow our team to deeply clean your smile and prevent as many dental issues as possible. Our dental team will also have the tips and tricks you need to keep your smile in top-notch condition.

Do you have questions about how to take care of your smile while you have an eating disorder in Vallejo, California? If so, please don’t hesitate to give Plaza Dental Care a call at 707-642-1360 at your earliest convenience. Our dental team is happy to talk with you and help you care for your smile as much as possible.

The world is chugging along at a supersonic pace with newer and greater inventions popping up all over the place. With the advent of so many amazing technologies, the world of oral health care has seen its own share of modern marvels. One of the greatest inventions that have come along is dental veneers.

Dental veneers can be crafted and customized to give you a long-lasting near perfect smile. Below are some questions and answers concerning veneers:

Question: How durable are dental veneers?
Answer: Dental veneers are extremely strong and durable. Despite their ultra-thin size, with the proper care, a single veneer can last well over a decade.

Question: What kind of flaws can veneers fix?
Answer: Veneers are placed on the front of your tooth, so nearly every type of tooth abnormality can be concealed. They can fix minor misalignments, permanent stains, discolorations, cracks, and even chipped teeth.

Question: Will veneers stand out from my natural teeth?
Answer: No, veneers are custom-crafted for each individual tooth, and can be color-matched to your other teeth. Their surface is also natural-looking, and when crafted by our team of amazing professionals at Plaza Dental Care, they are nearly impossible to notice.

Question: Do veneers hurt?
Answer: Veneers are often noted as being one of the most painless procedures in the dental industry. Many patients often experience no pain at all.

Dental veneers can improve your smile drastically in only a few short visits. If you would like to know more, you can schedule an appointment to personally meet with Dr. Khashayar Khomejany to discuss your options. Plaza Dental Care can be reached at 707-642-1360 or by stopping by our office in Vallejo, California. Come align your dental goals and dreams with us!

Did you know that in the US this year, hundreds of millions of pounds of candy will be consumed? As we are busy going batty over all these sweets, many may find themselves being spooked by a cavity or two. Avoid tooth decay, and consider the following list of sweets to limit this season:

– Sticky Candy: Exercise care when consuming sticky candies such as taffy, caramels, or gummies, as they can easily stick to your teeth and gums. They can also be difficult to remove, which can rapidly increase tooth decay.
– Popcorn Balls: Popcorn balls can be dangerous if they are too hard, so be careful when biting into them. It is also recommended to floss regularly after consumption, as bits of popcorn can easily be lodged between the teeth.
– Hard Candy: Hard candy should be avoided. They can break or chip teeth, and residue often ends up stuck to your teeth longer, which can rapidly increase tooth decay.
– Sour Candy: Due to their high acidic content, sour candies are some of the most dangerous treats to your precious teeth. Due to its acidic nature (nearly the same as battery acid), there is a high risk of cavities and enamel loss.

For an alternative, chocolate washes off easier than most other candies, so don’t be afraid to switch out a few of the above with some chocolate. Also, sugarless gum is a great way to clean your sparkly whites after some sugary snacks. As always, be sure to brush and floss.

Plaza Dental Care wishes you all a safe and happy Halloween!
If you would like to book an appointment, please call us at 707-642-1360, or stop by our office in Vallejo, California. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
