Cosmetic Dentistry Options for Stained Teeth
Looking to improve the appearance of stained teeth? Teeth whitening is the most common and conservative treatment option. Both in-office and take-home treatments use peroxide whitening gel to break down stains, noticeably lightening teeth by several shades. If you have internal staining or you want to address other cosmetic concerns, porcelain veneers or dental bonding can be good alternatives. Our dentist can discuss the various cosmetic treatments at a personal consultation.

The Link Between Oral Health and Mental Health
Your oral health can affect your mental health - and vice versa. If you are embarrassed by the state of your teeth, it can cause poor self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal. Conversely, a mental health condition like depression can cause you to neglect your dental hygiene. OCD can lead to dental cleaning rituals and, in turn, to worn enamel. And eating disorders can significantly affect oral health, increasing the risk of worn enamel and tooth decay.

Cracked tooth syndrome (CTS) happens when there is a crack anywhere in the tooth. A crack may affect only the crown of a tooth, or it could extend down to the tooth roots. Symptoms can include intermittent pain, discomfort when chewing, and temperature sensitivity. Root canal therapy is the most common treatment for cracked tooth syndrome. Our dentist will clean out your tooth and root canals before restoring your tooth with a dental crown.

Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?

Professional teeth whitening is a safe and low-risk procedure. You should not feel any discomfort during treatment. Afterward, you may notice some increased tooth and gum sensitivity, but this will usually go away after just a few days. In the meantime, you can use over-the-counter pain medications and avoid extremely hot and/or cold foods. Be sure to tell our dental team in advance if you already suffer from dental sensitivity.

What is a Geographic Tongue?

Geographic tongue is a condition that looks alarming but is harmless, in most cases. Also known as benign migratory glossitis, geographic tongue appears as patches of tiny light pink bumps. These patches create a map-like appearance, which is where the name comes from. Spices, salt, and sweets may irritate geographic tongue and lead to discomfort and sensitivity. Treatment is not often necessary but if the symptoms do not go away after ten days, visit our dental office.

What Does a Dental X-ray Show?

A dental X-ray is a diagnostic tool that takes images of the teeth, gums, and jawbone. It allows our dental team to see what is happening beneath the surface of the mouth and identify any issues that may not be visible to the naked eye. Dental X-rays reveal cavities, bone loss, impacted teeth, abscesses, and other abnormalities in the teeth and surrounding structures. With this information, our dentist can create personalized treatment plans to address any problems and maintain optimal oral health.

Solutions for People with Short Teeth

Short teeth can make your smile appear disproportionate and unattractive. Thankfully, there are several treatments available to correct this issue! For most people with short teeth, the issue isn’t actually their teeth, it's their gums. Gum reshaping or contouring removes excess gum tissue to reveal more of the dental enamel and elongate the teeth. Teeth that are simply smaller than average can be treated by dental bonding, dental crowns, or veneers. Schedule an appointment with us to discuss your options!

How Does Tooth Loss Affect Your Face?

Did you know that losing just one tooth can impact the appearance of your face? More common in people with multiple missing teeth is losing facial symmetry, sunken cheeks, a compressed jaw, and a permanent frown. Bridges and dentures can help combat these effects, but dental implants are the most supportive and stabilizing solution since it also replaces the tooth root. It’s best to seek out a tooth replacement as soon as possible to avoid a weak or shrunken jawbone.

Benefits of Wearing a Mouthguard at Night

If you suffer from bruxism, TMJ disorder, or sleep apnea, wearing a mouthguard at night can provide several benefits. A nightguard protects the teeth from the trauma of grinding or clenching which causes weakened enamel and the teeth to crack or break. Some nightguards can also open the airway at night to treat obstructive sleep apnea, creating a more comfortable alternative to a CPAP machine. Contact our team today to learn if this is a suitable option for you.
