Avoid Dental Damage From Teeth Grinding
When you start to grind your teeth on a nightly basis, you can face a real threat from dental damage that can impact your smile and well-being! A persistent teeth grinding problem, known as bruxism, can be triggered by certain diet choices, unresolved stress issues, and associated problems with TMJ disorder. If you do nothing to stop bruxism from hurting your teeth, your enamel can start to have a worn, unhealthy look. In time, this material can even chip and crack! Our Mansfield, TX dentist’s office is prepared to help you deal with this threat. Through the use of a custom oral appliance, we can keep your smile safe while you are asleep. We are also ready to assist those who have concerns about related TMJ problems that cause bite pain, joint stiffness, and more. (more…)
Protecting A Vulnerable Tooth With A Crown
Our teeth are strong enough to perform a difficult job – tearing and breaking down a wide range of foods over many years – but they are not completely impervious to damage. The right effort to care for them should include both daily oral hygiene habits and visits with your dentist for routine care. If a tooth is damaged, or if a cavity affects it, the appropriate restorative dental procedure can put the matter to rest. At our Mansfield, TX dental office, we can provide protection in the form of a custom dental crown that secures your tooth and preserves your bite function. Because we can provide a restoration that imitates your enamel, you can go through treatment without having to undergo a permanent smile change! (more…)
Should I Be Worried About A Root Canal?
The idea that you might need restorative dental work because of an oral health issue can be concerning. With that said, letting your worries over treatment keep you out of the dentist’s office can have consequences. If you delay care, a problem can grow worse, and that can lead to more complications. If your tooth’s health keeps deteriorating, you can find yourself with a problem so serious that extraction is your only remaining treatment option! Our Mansfield, TX dentist’s office is ready to help. We can provide important services that address problems with unhealthy teeth, including root canal treatment to address active problems. If you have issues with dental anxiety, or otherwise have difficulty with treatments, we can recommend dental sedation to make your time in the dentist’s chair easier. (more…)
Restoring A Smile Affected By Stains
We can pick up teeth stains from many different foods and drinks, as well as from tobacco products. Eventually, the particles that these items leave on our enamel can change the way we look, and that can lead to frustration as well as a loss of confidence. What can you do to restore your smile if teeth stains have become an embarrassing issue for you? While store bought whitening treatments can provide some improvement, you can find yourself less than thrilled with their ultimate impact. To do more for your smile, talk to your Mansfield, TX dentist about a professional whitening procedure! With a professional cosmetic procedure, you can see more exciting results thanks to bleaching agents that can take care of tougher and deeper stains. (more…)
Life With An Implant-Held Restoration
Instead of trying to live your life without your full smile, you can talk to your Mansfield, TX dentist about the benefits of restorative work. What you can find is that the right approach to prosthodontic care can give you more than just an improved smile. With a dental implant-held restoration, you can have an easier time biting, chewing, laughing and speaking because your prosthetic is securely fixed in place. Implants secure prosthetic appliances to your jawbone. Their link to the bone mimics the kind of hold that our teeth roots provide for our teeth. In addition to helping your restoration stay secure, an implant can support your oral health by stimulating surrounding jawbone tissues to keep nutrients flowing to it. (more…)
How Jaw Problems Lead To Headaches
Should you trace your recent uptick in headaches to problems with your jaw, or with the way you bite and chew? Over time, a person who is not dealing with an uneven bite motion, or with poor joint alignment, can start to experience pain in their face and jaw, neck stiffness and discomfort, and difficulties with headaches. Fortunately, troubles with your jaw joints and muscles, referred to as TMD, can be addressed by your Mansfield, TX dentist! At an appointment, we can determine if TMD is an issue for you, and we can find a solution that reduces stress and alignment concerns to reduce your issues with pain and sensitivity. (more…)
How Can I Make Sure My Smile Stays Healthy?
You may assume that because you have no active concerns about your smile’s appearance, and because you have no active problems with pain or sensitivity, you have no oral health problems to worry about. While it can be a relief to be free from obvious problems, you should not assume this means you have nothing to worry about! One important aspect of preventive dental care involves regular dental checkups. At our Mansfield, TX dentist’s office, we can make sure your smile is as healthy as you suspect and hope it might be. If we do identify a problem, we can recommend treatment to address the matter. (more…)
Regaining Your Smile After A Dental Injury

The good news is that at our Mansfield, TX dentist’s office, we can help you regain the smile you were happy to show off by providing the appropriate dental work. This can mean performing a cosmetic procedure, but it can sometimes call for the placement of a dental crown. (more…)
What Are You Doing To Fight Tartar Buildup?
How worried should you be about tartar formation? Is this substance more harmful to you than plaque? If you let plaque buildup remain in place for too long, the deposits will harden and form tartar. When this happens, the substance will remain in place until your next dental exam and cleaning. Simply put, your toothbrush and dental floss are not capable of clearing away tartar formation, which is something your hygienist addresses. The good news is that when tartar buildup is removed, you protect yourself from potential problems like tooth decay and gum disease! Preventive visits at our Mansfield, TX dentist’s office provide many benefits, including protection against tartar accumulation. (more…)
