If you feel that something is wrong with your oral health, acting quickly can be important. If you wait too long to have a matter resolved, the condition of your tooth can worsen and change the approach needed to restore it. Our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office is prepared to help you whenever you require restorative dental services. In addition to responding to issues like tooth decay and gum disease, we are also prepared to take on issues like teeth grinding, or troubles with dental restorations that you have already received. These issues, like tooth decay, can worsen over time, meaning prompt care will limit just how much work is needed to take care of you.
1. Issues With Nightly Teeth Grinding
A habit of grinding your teeth while you sleep can lead to chronic pain linked to TMJ disorder, which can cause discomfort throughout the day. It can also lead to worrying chips and cracks that impact your appearance and oral health. When you wake up with sore or sensitive teeth, and experience frequent discomfort in your face and jaw, you should worry that this problem, known as bruxism, is affecting you. To address the matter, your dentist can provide you a custom mouth guard that will keep your teeth safe while you sleep. We also provide oral inserts for people who struggle with TMJ discomfort.
2. A Restoration That Feels Loose Or Damaged
If you have a dental filling or dental crown that feels insecure, you should address the matter as soon as you can. If you wait to make an appointment, your tooth remains vulnerable to potential issues. After a review, we can determine if the tooth’s health has been affected by a problem with your restoration. We can also make arrangements to replace it to prevent further problems.
3. Lasting Tooth Pain Without An Obvious Cause
If you are struggling with dental pain but feel unsure why this is the case, it could be evidence of an infection that is worsening. If the problem goes untreated for too long, it can leave your tooth beyond saving. To deal with this, we can provide root canal therapy to remove bacteria and damaged tissues before restoring your tooth with a custom dental crown.
