Tacoma Dentistry for Children
Dr. Simpson & Dr. Bloomquist are committed to improving and maintaining the oral health of infants, children, and adolescents. Thanks to fluoride, dental sealants, and better dental habits, 55 percent of school-age children now have no cavities. The dramatic drop in cavities among children with regular dental care is due to regular visits to the dentist starting at an early age, professional teeth cleaning for children, proper tooth brushing habits, fluoride, and dental sealants. Dr. Karla M Bloomquist and his team is happy provide all aspects of preventative dental care and restorative dentistry for your children. We recommend that you begin bringing your children to the dentist for their first check up at age 2.5 to 3.0.
Endodontics
With today′s modern dental techniques, having root canals done by a dentist is no longer a scary experience. Dr. Simpson & Dr. Bloomquist are experienced in performing root canal therapy. Extensive decay, an accident, tooth fracture, or gum disease can kill teeth and cause a root canal symptom such as root canal pain or a dental abscess. However, regardless of the root canal cause, your teeth can be saved using modern therapy to do root canal treatment.
Periodontics
Periodontal treatment starts with prevention: regular cleanings and good hygeine habits are excellent precautions to take to avoid gum disease. The main cause of periodontal disease is bacteria in the form of a sticky, colorless plaque that constantly forms on your teeth; however, other factors can cause the disease or influence its progression. Scaling, root planing, and local delivery of antimicrobials can treat and prevent the progression of the disease. In some cases, surgical therapy or cosmetic solutions may be necessary to correct the damage from gum disease physically and cosmetically. Dr. Simpson & Dr. Bloomquist can evaluate your situation and present the best treatment options for you.
Dental Hygiene
Preventative care is an integral part of our practice. Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most important things you can do for your teeth and gums. Healthy teeth not only enable you to look and feel good, they make it possible to eat and speak properly. Good oral health is important to your overall well being. Our team is well trained in soft tissue laser techniques used in conjunction with "deep cleanings" to expedite healing of the gums and total bacterial reduction to stop the progress of gum and bone disease. Promoting health through preventative dentistry and educating our patients on good oral hygiene is the heart of our practice. Thorough examinations and professional cleanings allow us to identify problem areas and stop periodontal disease.
