An amazing review from one of our patient.

My daughter fell down and chipped her tooth. I was able to get the earliest possible emergency appointment at Dr Farah's clinic and she spent over an hour to make sure she is fine and her tooth looks and feels comfortable to her. She explained everything to me and my daughter who is just 8 in detail. Really thankful to her for such a great work. Her tooth looks exactly the same as before. Highly recommend her.

Flossing is an important oral hygiene practice. Tooth decay and gum disease can develop when plaque is allowed to build up on teeth and along the gum line. Professional cleaning, tooth brushing, and cleaning between teeth (flossing and the use of other tools such as interdental brushes) have been shown to disrupt and remove plaque

More than 500 bacterial species can be found in plaque; some are good and some are bad for your mouth. Together with food debris, water and other components, the plaque buildup around the teeth and on the gum line will contribute to disease in teeth and gums.

Bruxism, or Teeth Grinding

Signs & Symptoms

*Rhythmic contractions of the jaw muscles
*A grinding sound at night
*Jaw muscles that are tight or painful
*Long-lasting pain in the face
*Swelling (occasionally) on the side of your lower jaw caused by clenching

Treatment

One of the most common, which your dentist may recommend, is a night guard. This is an appliance typically worn while sleeping through the night,

Night guards are also available through dentists. Guards of this type tend to be of a higher quality and superior fit, as they are made in a special laboratory from an impression of your mouth carefully taken by a dental professional.

Dental Crowns - Since the grinding can cause the enamel to crack or break, installing dental crowns can preserve and protect the remaining teeth. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over the tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, as well as to improve its appearance.
