Your gums support your teeth, we want to keep them healthy. Gum disease is a common disorder that can cause a lot of damage. Patients who suffer from chronic gum disease can experience regression in their gum tissues, damage to the connective ligaments, and eventually the loss of alveolar bone. Whether we spot gingivitis, periodontitis or chronic periodontitis, taking the steps to remove bacteria and keep your gums healthy is important to your oral health. We typically perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums to look for potential symptoms. This may include the use of advanced diagnostic tools such as digital x-rays or an intraoral scanner. We usually measure the depths of your periodontal pockets as well. These grooves between your teeth and gums become deeper as the disease progresses. TMJTMJ refers to the jaw joint, also known as the temporomandibular joint. Patients can experience dental issues that cause disruption and irritation in the joint. They may experience problems opening or closing their jaw fully, they can also experience clicking or popping sensations, facial pain, or even migraines. Sometimes patients aren’t aware that their symptoms stem from their jaw joint. We can review the joint and look for TMD or temporomandibular joint disorders. There are treatments designed to alleviate any pain or discomfort associated with the TMJ. Mouth GuardMouth guards can be customized to protect your teeth. This is ideal for patients who participate in recreational sports, outdoor activities, and patients who suffer from a disorder known as bruxism which is the grinding or gnashing of teeth. Mouth guards, sometimes called a sports guard or night mouth guard depending on their function, provide a layer of protection to your teeth to reduce or prevent damage to your teeth. Simply wearing an acrylic device can save you pain, expense and time in the chair. Having your mouthguard customized to fit means you are much more likely to wear it, because it was made to fit your mouth.
