Of course, no matter which dental treatment our Virginia Beach, VA team suggests for you, the timeline we set forth is what you should adhere to, so you’re not letting a problem go uncared for. As a result, we want you to recognize that in some cases, we suggest that you act with urgency because it’s actually extremely important! When you don’t take our advice, you will be opening the door for possible damage that can become serious and that will require even more care down the line. Protect your oral health and, as examples, consider treatments that you may think are not pressing that you should actually receive sooner than later!
#1: TMJ Treatment
You may think to yourself when we suggest TMJ treatment to protect your oral health that you’ve been dealing with this issue for years, so you don’t understand why it’s so urgent. You’ve always had a popping jaw, pain has come and gone, and you don’t see what all of the fuss is about. What you’re not recognizing is that the sooner you begin with treatment, the sooner those exhausted jaw joints (that let you eat and talk) will get the rest they need to recover. If it’s been quite a while, then damage may have already begun (and you don’t want it to worsen). However, if your TMJ issue is new, then you may not have any damage at all and you’d really like to keep it that way! Either way, treatment should happen ASAP! See us soon.
#2: Bruxism Treatment
Along the same lines as TMJ disorder care, we offer bruxism treatment. If you’re familiar with these disorders, you know that they are frequently linked and affect the function of your smile. Again, seeking treatment right away is best for your oral health because it may stop the disorder from contributing to TMJ disorder, it will help ease the unconscious grinding and clenching going on, and it can literally save your teeth from fissures, cracks, and serious injury down the line!
#3: Dental Fillings
Yes, dental fillings require urgency. However, we notice that many patients assume they have plenty of time with which to wait until they treat their tooth decay. This may occur because cavities don’t always hurt in the beginning. However, trust our team when we say: They will hurt, they will grow, they may cause your tooth to break, and they can quickly allow infection to develop. Treat cavities as soon as humanly possible to avoid side effects.
