Can A Tooth-Colored Filling Offer Long-Term Support?
Restoring a tooth after a cavity means protecting it against a new buildup of bacteria, and an infection.It also means avoiding a problem with functional instability. While your tooth structure is not able to rebuild after a cavity, you still need to be able to bite and chew properly. A dental filling occupies the area where decay had to be removed from your enamel. Through its presence, it can help you avoid infection, and add support needed to maintain its condition against bite pressure. Your Allen, TX dentist’s office provides tooth-colored fillings for patients who need cavity work. In addition to matching the appearance of your enamel, this restoration can be relied on for many years, even as your tooth faces the impact and strain of biting and chewing. (more…)
Persistent Jaw Pain? It Might Be Due To TMD
Your favorite meal, a friendly conversation, and your daily routine can all be compromised by problems with temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMD.

They can also experience regular pain in their face, jaw, neck, and head that intrudes on their typical activities. Your Allen, TX dentist’s office can recognize signs of TMD, and talk to you about using a special oral appliance to address your ongoing discomfort.

A root canal treatment is able to address this internal problem, and protect you from the harm that bacteria can do once your tooth experiences an infection. Thanks to your dentist’s commitment to modern, patient-friendly care, and the use of anesthesia, your smile needs can be addressed while limiting potential discomfort. (more…)
