Tooth Pain

Tooth Pain varies from mild irritation only when stimulated by cold or sweets, to crippling due to an dental abscess.  I have found some people can sense the smallest of cavities coming on while others won't every feel pain with a tooth even when the tooth is to the point of being broken off at the gumline.  Sometimes people will have pain in their teeth when the weather is changing associated with sinuses.  Wisdom teeth erupting can cause quite a bit of discomfort.  After all this information I will sum it up to say the sooner you treat it, the better and easier the outcome.  If you think you have a cavity, or just need a regular checkup please call our office or visit our website below for more information.

Regular Checkups

New patients are a toss-up.  Sometimes they are quite regular with getting cleanings.  Sometimes they haven't been in years due to a bad experience or maybe getting out of the routine.  It is important to get regular checkups because cavities, gingivitis, and bone loss all develop over time, but sometimes faster than other times.  We see patients either on 3, 4, or 6 month intervals and is dependent on a number of factors.  Those factors could be dry mouth(which leads to cavities), gum loss, bone loss, ability to care for their teeth, and other factors.  Whether young or old, rich or poor, lots of teeth or few teeth, it's important to stay regular.  If you need a checkup and cleaning give us a call or visit our website for more information.

Dry Mouth

Sometimes i have patients who are concerned about dry mouth.  Dry mouth is a symptom of a lack from saliva production.  It is most commonly associated with taking some medications.  After talking to your physician, you might be able to switch to another medication if you think the current medication you are taking is causing your dry mouth.  Lack of salivary flow also can be generally associated with aging.  Regardless of the cause of dry mouth it can be devastating to the teeth because it allows for rampant cavity production.  The best defense against that is good oral care at home and a regular visit with your dentist.  If you need a regular checkup, give us a call or check out our website for more information.
