You can have a hard time feeling social, or confident, if you are aware that you have a problem with bad breath.

What Can I Do To Reduce This Recurring Jaw Pain?
If you choose to simply live with jaw pain, you can come to realize that the time you spend biting, chewing, and even speaking can become deeply unpleasant.

You may also have to deal with a teeth grinding problem while spending more time struggling with persistent headaches. Our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office can help you move past your problems through the appropriate TMJ treatment.

The Benefits Of Cavity Treatment With Metal-Free Fillings
When a cavity has formed on a person’s tooth, there is no way for them to fully recover without having a permanent restoration put in place. Restorations are used during these treatments because the damage done by a cavity causes irreversible harm to your tooth structure. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we can address this damage without causing changes to your appearance by using metal-free dental fillings. While fillings made from metal have helped many people keep their teeth safe, they can be difficult to ignore when placed in visible parts of a person’s smile. Modern restorations made from composite resin can offer lasting support while also making sure that your tooth looks the way it did before a cavity damaged it! (more…)

What Can Your Dentist Do If You Have A Broken Dental Crown?
A dental crown is meant to provide lasting support for a tooth that experienced trouble with decay, or one that has been physically injured. When a restoration breaks, loosens, or is completely lost, the tooth is once again left in a vulnerable state, which is why you should treat the problem as an oral health concern. If you write the loss of a crown off as an inconvenience and try to simply disregard it, you can experience new problems that further affect your smile and dental well-being! Our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office is prepared to help individuals who have experienced a problem with a crown. In addition to providing a new appliance, we can check on the tooth and determine if it is in need of treatment. (more…)
Finding The Cause Of Persistent Dental Pain
If your recent meals have been less enjoyable because of a pain in a tooth, or discomfort and stiffness that affect your jaw, you should be concerned about your oral health. Even a relatively minor issue with dental discomfort can be difficult to ignore when you try to eat. Choosing to ignore the matter can allow it to worsen, which means you can experience more discomfort over time! Our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office has experience helping patients address problems with dental pain and sensitivity. If you have a particular tooth giving you problems, it could be an issue with a cavity that requires attention. A general discomfort that affects your jaw movement could be a sign that you need to worry about TMJ disorder. (more…)
How Much Harm Can A Cavity Cause Your Tooth?
While some patients who undergo cavity treatment only have a small amount of dental damage to address, others may need more involved work. In some cases, it may even be necessary to address damage or infection in the central chamber of a patient’s tooth because of decay! The reason some treatments are more involved is that a cavity worsens over time, and that putting off treatment can lead to more harm. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we have experience dealing with severe cavities, but we can also identify early signs of decay during an exam and recommend the placement of a dental filling. The sooner you act, the sooner you can put a stop permanent damage to your tooth! (more…)
What Can I Do To Avoid Bad News At My Next Dental Exam?
When you see your dentist again, how confident are you that you will receive good news regarding the state of your oral health? If you have a consistent and thorough oral care routine in place, and take care to maintain a smile-friendly diet, you can maintain a lower risk for problems that might require professional oral health services. However, issues with your routine or diet can make you more likely to need a dental filling or dental crown the next time you are in the dentist’s chair. While it can be less than exciting to hear that you need dental work, it should be noted that putting off care and ignoring a problem can lead to worrying complications! Our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office is prepared to help patients address active problems, but we also provide preventive services at checkups to make future issues less likely. (more…)
