Infection And A Broken Tooth

Posted by

infection broken tooth sheridan wyYour teeth are normally kept safe by a layer of tissue called enamel. This material is incredibly strong, even tougher than bone, but it can still become damaged through injury, tooth decay, and other issues. It serves to help you chew, providing real structure, and it also blocks out bacterial growth within. Well, when you crack, chip, or break a tooth, you can lose this natural protection, putting you at risk of infection.

If you have experienced dental damage, talk to Dr. Justin Coon, DDS and Dr. Cody Coon, DDS at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY. We help people move forward after accidents or tooth decay cause you to lose the natural protection of your enamel. With same-day crowns made possible through CEREC milling technology, we bring advanced restorative dentistry to the people of Eastern Wyoming. So, if you’ve cracked, chipped, or broken a tooth, call our office to schedule a time for an evaluation.

When you break a tooth, you become at risk of bacterial infection. Find out more about how CEREC dental crowns from Grinnell Street Dental keep smiles safe.

Keeping A Stronger Smile

Grind Your Teeth? Let’s Talk

grind your teeth? stressed man at desk sheridan wyWhen you wake up in the morning, you need to be ready to go. But if you’re starting to notice that your jaw is tense or tight when you wake up, or if you’re getting headaches immediately after opening your eyes, then it’s time to talk to your oral health team about what’s going on. This could be a sign of a habit known as bruxism, where you grind your teeth unconsciously. If this happens at night, it’s referred to as a common sleep disorder called sleep bruxism, which can really affect your smile’s appearance and performance.

At Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, Dr. Justin Coon and Dr. Cody Coon work hard to help people experience a quality smile. We understand that grinding your teeth removes tiny bits of your enamel each time, potentially changing looks and impacting oral health. For those experiencing sleep bruxism, there is a solution through oral appliance therapy, so ask if a simple night guard can help you keep your teeth safe while you sleep.

Bruxism might seem like a minor issue, but it’s certainly more. Schedule a time to talk about your smile with Grinnell Street Dental.
