If you wake up each morning with consistent headaches or jaw pain that will not resolve on its own, you may suffer from TMJ disorder. When straining of the jaw joint creates significant inflammation, chronic pain can result. Fortunately, we could help ease your symptoms by designing a custom oral appliance that gently shifts your jaw into a more comfortable position.

At Sunny Smiles, we can perform a corrective therapy to address the cause of your joint strain in a nonsurgical manner. While the causes of this strain vary, an oral appliance provides a comfortable way to ease your pain and protect your smile as you sleep. For patients with bruxism, or grinding of the teeth, a mouthguard also prevents the physical erosion of your enamel by separating each row of teeth. By learning more about this convenient solution for jaw pain, you can feel secure seeking treatment today!

The Value Of Your Sturdy Dental Crown

When a tooth receives an injury beyond the reparative power of a dental filling, a crown can help restore your bite. We create these restorations from the same ceramic material that can match the shade of your smile. This means treating your tooth decay does not need to leave an unsightly presence inside your mouth. By capping the tooth completely above the gum line, you regain the ability to withstand the full force of your bite.

At Sunny Smiles, we focus on both cosmetic and functional effects when placing treatment for severe cavities and tooth infections. By carefully measuring your neighboring teeth, we design a restoration that fits comfortably in your bite.

A preventive attitude toward your oral health maintains your smile’s beauty by removing plaque and tartar before they cause significant harm. While the brushing and flossing you perform each day form the basis of this protection, by visiting your dentist regularly, you receive additional care beyond your at-home capabilities. If it has been more than half a year since your last cleaning, schedule a visit to inspect the results of your daily oral hygiene routine. We can help protect your teeth from decay and let you know if certain areas require additional care. These regular visits allow us to treat cavities and gum disease before they progress into more advanced forms.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we can help you avoid the pain of oral health problems by offering regular preventive checkups to clean your smile. Each time we treat your smile, we provide an opportunity to catch the disease and provide a more conservative treatment than required at a later time. If you wait for painful symptoms to appear before visiting the dentist, it is often too late to provide a simpler form of treatment. By learning about the importance of routine checkups, you can feel confident in receiving valuable dental care!

Taking Care Of Your Tooth Infection

When you experience a constant ache in one of your teeth that will not go away, you should let your dentist know right away. This can be a symptom of a serious infection, that left alone could spread to other parts of your body. Fortunately, we could perform root canal therapy to remove bacteria from your tooth’s inner chamber and relieve your pain. Do not wait until your next dental checkup to address this problem because time is of the essence when preserving the health of your tooth. Waiting too long to remove the infection could lead to needing to perform a tooth extraction.

At Sunny Smiles, we are standing by, ready to aid you when you have a dental emergency. We understand how distracting the constant pain of an aching tooth can be and look forward to providing you with desirable relief. Because this procedure permanently alters the outside structure of your tooth, we will discuss restorative options to repair your tooth’s enamel. We suggest placing a custom dental crown that returns a lifelike appearance to your grin!
