Dental Fillings
Once the dentist has cleaned out the decay, he or she will then insert filling into the space to seal it against further risks. Dental fillings can keep bacteria from entering and spreading infection. Dental Arts ninth St will decide on the type of filling based on the extent of decay, location of the tooth, and size of the empty space.

Dental Sealants
A dental sealant is a thin layer of plastic painted over the back molars of the smile. The plastic is applied as a liquid and hardens over several minutes. While a liquid, the plastic is elastic enough to fit into all of the small nooks and crannies of the tooth. It then forms a solid layer of protection against plaque and decay.

Emergency Dentistry
If you or someone you know is experiencing a dental emergency, there are a couple of things you can do to be better prepared. Try not to panic. Carefully reduce bleeding and find a safe way to come to our office as soon as possible. If there is excessive oral bleeding, use a clean paper towel or gauze to stop the flow. If a tooth has been broken or knocked out, try to find it. Resist the urge to wash the tooth and instead bring it to our office. We might be able to restore it. The best thing you can do is seek help immediately. Don’t wait for hours or even days before coming to Dental Arts ninth St. Instead, get the care you need when you need it from our convenient location in St Petersburg, FL.

Endodontics
Dental Arts ninth St is a complete dental care practice in St Petersburg, FL. Along with our other offerings, we also specialize in endodontic treatments. Root canal therapy is the most commonly performed endodontic procedure. When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, it is necessary to remove it. If left untreated, the infection can worsen and lead to tooth loss. The inside of a tooth can be affected by severe decay, trauma, cracks, or an old restoration.

Exams & Cleanings
Looking for a dentist near you for routine checkups? Exams and cleanings are part of critical preventive care when it comes to optimal oral health. Not all problems show up in the form of symptoms like pain or discomfort. In fact, patients experience symptoms only when the problem is already at an advanced stage. The dental specialists at Dental Arts ninth St explain how regular exams and cleanings can benefit you.
