Are Your Teeth Sensitive?

Ackley Dental Group, General Dentistry

Have you been enjoying the warm Florida weather? Now that June is upon us, our warm weather is slowly changing to what many would describe as hot. Nothing feels better on a hot summer day than a nice, cold drink, delicious ice cream treat, or frosty popsicle. If you suffer from tooth sensitivity, you likely do not share this sentiment. In fact, eating or biting anything cold can immediately bring discomfort to your teeth. Tooth sensitivity can also occur when eating or drinking something hot, brushing teeth, and flossing your teeth.

Root Canals: Not as Bad as You Think

Ackley Dental Group, General Dentistry

Is a root canal at the top of your holiday list this year? We know that root canals are something that you try to avoid at all costs and can create a sense of panic in some patients. Root canals get a bad rap as a procedure full of discomfort; however, this can be further from the truth. Root canals can help save your tooth and eliminate the need for a more in depth procedure such as an implant.
