Periodontal Diseases (Gum
Diseases)
Periodontal Disease, or Gum Disease, is an infection of the tissues that
support the teeth. Your teeth are supported by gum tissue (or Gingiva) that
anchor the tooth root into its socket and bone. With proper gum care, these
tissues can help you keep your smile for a lifetime. Many adults, though,
develop some type of Periodontal Disease. Treatment methods depend upon the type
of disease and how far the condition has progressed. Left untreated, Periodontal Disease
can be a major cause of tooth loss.

Treatment of TMJ
(grinding and headaches)
Many people who suffer from such symptoms as headaches, earaches, tenderness
of the jaw joints or muscles or dull, aching facial pain often share a common
problem. These people may suffer from a family of problems related to the jaw
muscles and the jaw joint (Temporomandibular joint). The muscles and joints may
not function properly, resulting in cycles of pain and spasm. In many cases, the
pain, headaches and other symptoms associated with TMJ disorders can be
successfully treated.

Pediatric Services (your child's teeth)
Some babies have a tooth at birth. Others may not see any teeth for the first
year. Either way, to help ensure a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums for your
baby, proper care begins within the first few days after birth. All twenty
primary teeth begin forming in the jaw bones before your baby is born. The two
lower front teeth are the first to come through, followed by the upper two. You
can expect to see all twenty primary teeth by age 2 to 2½. Nowadays, it's
possible for many children to reach adulthood without ever experiencing tooth
decay. Regular dental visits are crucial to your child's dental health.

Replacing Missing Teeth
(Bridges, Dentures)
If you're missing one or more teeth, you may be aware of their importance to
your appearance and dental health. Your teeth work together to help you chew,
speak, sing and smile. When you lack teeth, it's difficult to do these things.
Fortunately, missing teeth can and should be replaced. You can restore your
smile with a fixed bridge or removable partial denture.

Root Canal
Therapy (saving teeth)
Root canal treatment usually involves removal of the tooth's pulp, a small
thread-like tissue that was important for tooth development. Once removed, it is
replaced with materials that seal off the root canal from its supporting
structure. Years ago, diseased or injured teeth were often extracted. Today,
even if the pulp of one of your teeth becomes injured or infected, it often can
be saved through root canal (Endodontic) treatment.

Crowns
(restoring teeth)
When teeth are cracked, stained or damaged, they detract from your dental health
and appearance. To restore them, you may need a crown. A crown is a restoration
that covers, or caps, a tooth to restore it to normal shape and size. Its
purpose is to strengthen or improve the appearance of a tooth.
