This is what an untreated cavity really looks like — from the inside.

The dark area at the top is advanced dental caries, where bacteria have destroyed the enamel and dentin. Beneath it lies the pulp chamber, rich in nerves and blood vessels — shown here inflamed and exposed.

Once decay reaches this depth, pain is no longer just “toothache.” It is nerve infection, inflammation, and a gateway for bacteria to enter the bloodstream.

At this stage, a simple filling is no longer enough. Treatment usually requires root canal therapy or extraction — both more complex, costly, and invasive than early care.

Children need dental care too!!

Please call us if your child is in pain, had fillings that need to be done or a cleaning.

A recent case of a 3-year-old with multiple active cavities and a dental abscess reminds us how crucial early oral care truly is. At this age, children can’t protect their own teeth—parents must.

Neglecting baby teeth doesn’t just cause pain and infection. It can affect chewing, speech, nutrition, and even facial growth—sometimes leaving lifelong effects on confidence and well-being.

Dental decay in early childhood is completely preventable. Brushing twice daily with age-appropriate toothpaste, limiting sugary snacks, and visiting a dentist by the first birthday can stop damage before it begins.

Healthy habits start at home. When parents brush together with their child and make it fun, they build the foundation for a lifetime of strong smiles and fearless dental visits.

Amber joined our TEAM a little over a month ago, but some of you have seen her in our hygiene department over the years while she filled in, helping us grow our hygiene department.

Originally from Asheville, NC, Amber has been brightening smiles as a dental hygienist for 19 years. She loves getting to know her patients and helping make every visit a comfortable, positive experience.

Outside the office, Amber enjoys hiking mountain trails with her husband, diving into a good book (or audiobook — she’s currently listening to the Outlander series!), and finding new places to explore. Her favorite time of year is fall, especially when the mountains come alive with color.

When it comes to favorites, Amber can’t resist Thai or Indian food, and her favorite color is green — a perfect fit for her love of the outdoors. She describes her personality as a mix between an elephant and a dolphin — thoughtful, loyal, and full of heart, with a playful spirit.

We are so excited to have Amber with us full time. She is a great addition to the Upwards Dental TEAM!!
