Dental Treatments
Most of us are familiar with dental treatments such as fillings, root canals, crowns, bridges and dentures. But how much do you really know about these treatments? This section provides a wealth of information on a wide variety of dental treatments -- from preventive and restorative care to bad breath remedies, braces and TMJ therapy.
If you have missing teeth, the most common restorative treatments are dental bridges, dental implants and dentures. But the type of treatment you receive depends on a variety of factors, including which teeth and how many are missing. In "Crowns and Bridges" and "Dental Implants," you’ll find out what distinguishes a dental implant from a dental bridge, get answers to frequently asked questions, and learn the pros and cons of each treatment. The "Dentures" section not only explains what types of dentures are available, but also gives important denture care tips!
Some people want to run if you even whisper the words "root canal." But the fact is, if you have gum disease, modern root canals are oftentimes quick and painless procedures. Find out how root canal treatments have evolved in the "Root Canals" section.
Grinding your teeth or clenching your jaws can cause pain that extends from your head and ears to your jaws. This pain is a sign of TMJ/TMD, which your dentist can properly diagnose and treat. Learn more about prevention and treatments in the "TMJ/TMD" section.
Parents will find the "Braces" section especially useful. Learn when the best time is to take your child to see an orthodontist; types of orthodontic treatments available, including Invisalign; how to care for braces and more!
