There are some common concerns that can affect your jaw health and for which there happen to be some immediate solutions to consider! While this may be an area of your oral health you haven’t spent much time worrying about, it’s certainly important to remember that once an issue with your jaw becomes a reality, it’s very important to offer treatment and protection. Keep in mind, your jawbone supports your teeth, your jaw joints provides movement, and together, they give you the ability to talk, eat, laugh, sing … you get the idea! So, how might we be able to help?
Implants To Protect Jaw Tissue
If you lose one tooth or multiple teeth, you can actually run the risk of jaw damage. What you may not know about your teeth is that they each stimulate your jaw. This happens when you bite down in any fashion. This is your body’s way of communicating, sending a message to your jaw that teeth are present that require nutrients. Your body sends those nutrients, so your jaw health continues and, as a result, remains strong enough to support those teeth! So, what happens when some of your teeth are gone? As you might imagine, the communication breaks down, your jaw might not get what it needs, and it may deteriorate. That is, until dental implants save the day! They mimic what your roots do, so you can keep those jaws nice and strong.
TMJ Treatment To Protect Jaw Joints
Your jaw joints may also become problematic. Maybe you eat lots of snacks, chew gum, suffer from bruxism, have experienced an injury, or something else that’s strained or damaged the joints (called TMJs or temporomandibular joints). We offer TMJ disorder treatment for this jaw health concern. It quickly stops further damage and gives you a chance to heal.
