Do Your Gums Bleed?
If your gums bleed when flossing or brushing your teeth, it could be a sign of gum disease. Gum disease can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and heart attacks. Many patients don’t realize that they are developing a serious case of periodontitis, because they don’t recognize the symptoms.
You can prevent bleeding gums with good oral hygiene and routine dental visits. We offer many options that can remove the infection and effectively clean your teeth. Dr. Reece offers surgical and non-surgical treatment for bleeding gums, gingivitis, and advanced periodontitis. To learn about the treatments that we provide for bleeding gums, visit Bleeding gums.
Do You Have Crooked Teeth?
Crooked teeth can cause many issues, including bruxism (commonly referred to as teeth grinding), which can wear teeth down. Invisalign, porcelain veneers, or tooth bonding are all great options for straightening crooked teeth.
It may be difficult to clean between crooked or misaligned teeth. So it’s important to straighten them to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Tooth bonding and porcelain veneers can also brighten teeth while making them look more uniform. To learn about our treatments for crooked teeth, visit Crooked teeth.
Do You Experience Frequent Headaches?
Do you suffer from chronic headaches? You may have a TMJ disorder, bruxism, or sleep apnea. Temporomandibular joint disorders can cause pain in the jaw joint and muscles. Some causes of TMJ disorders include stress, jaw misalignment, or tooth injury.
We can help you address these dental problems with oral appliances. Oral appliances are a great treatment option that can help take the pressure off the jaw, and keep teeth from grinding together. In addition, oral appliances open the airway so tissues can’t collapse and block your throat. To learn about our headache therapy services, visit Headaches.
Do You Have Missing Teeth?
Losing a tooth to injury or decay can be anxiety-inducing. Having gaps in your smile may make you lose some self-confidence. Missing teeth can also result in other problems, like shifting and overcrowding teeth, and difficulty biting and chewing. It can even result in more tooth loss.
Just one lost tooth can leave you prone to tooth decay, shifting teeth, and facial sagging. However, we have treatments that can promptly replace your lost teeth.
Dental implants, dental bridges, or full and partial dentures are great options for patients with one or more missing teeth. A consultation can help you find the restorative dental treatment that’s right for you. To learn about our missing teeth treatments, visit Missing teeth.
Do You Grind Your Teeth?
If you often find yourself clenching or grinding your teeth, you may have bruxism. Bruxism is a condition where stress, crooked teeth, and a misaligned bite cause chronic teeth grinding or clenching. A dull, constant headache or sore jaw when you wake up is a telltale symptom of bruxism.
Millions of Americans clench or grind their teeth at night or during stressful situations. Because it often occurs during sleep, most people are unaware that they grind their teeth. In fact, many learn that they grind their teeth at night from a loved one. This can result in worn down or even broken teeth.
Oral appliances can stop teeth grinding and protect teeth from further wear and tear. To learn about treatments for teeth grinding at our dental office, visit Teeth grinding.
