Get A Tooth Filling Now To Stop A Cavity From Getting Worse

As far as dental problems go, cavities are not a huge deal. If you’ve never had one before, there is a very good chance that someone close to you has.
If you visit us and do have a cavity, we will provide a tooth filling treatment to stop the tooth decay from spreading and get your tooth out of pain so you’ll be able to:

• Eat your favorite foods without having to avoid chewing with certain teeth
• Smile wide and proud, knowing that no one will be able to tell you have had a tooth filling
• Get peace of mind that your dental problem has been fixed

We offer various comfort options at both of our dental offices to ensure your experience with us is as pleasant as possible. Our team will listen intently to any concerns you may have and make you feel truly heard. We can also answer any questions you may be wondering about so you’ll feel more informed.
So you won’t feel any discomfort while we prepare your tooth and complete your tooth filling, we will numb your tooth with an anesthetic before we get started. If you need some help relieving dental anxiety, we can also supply dental sedation options to improve your comfort and calm your nerves.
If you are experiencing only minor dental pain you may be wondering what the big deal is if you have a cavity. Left untreated, any dental problem will get worse, causing you a lot of unnecessary pain in the future. If you don’t take care of a dental issue when you need to you will also end up spending more time and money addressing the concern in the future.
Cavities are caused by tooth decay that eats away at your healthy tooth enamel, leading to sensitivity and pain. You may have heard that your enamel is the single hardest material in your entire body, but if allowed to propagate, bad bacteria can gradually damage your tooth enamel.
If tooth decay manages to penetrate your tooth enamel and starts to affect the soft tissue and nerves (pulp) inside a tooth, the pulp can also become infected. In order to preserve the tooth, in this case, we would likely recommend a root canal, which will completely remove the pulp from inside the tooth.
This is done to stop your pain, but also to stop the problem from spreading. For example, if you are in need of a root canal and do not get one, the infection could spread into your jawbone and start affecting your jaw health and other teeth as well.
Worst case scenario, a cavity could affect your tooth so much that the only thing that can be done to prevent the problem from spreading is to remove the tooth completely. By doing nothing, a simple cavity could lead to a gap in your smile!
The good news is a tooth filling is a simple solution that we can perform quickly. We can also help you catch signs of decay early during routine dental cleanings and exams.
Don’t let a bad situation get out of hand when it comes to your oral health. If you’re in need of a tooth filling, visit George A. Hoop, DDS as soon as possible to get the cavity taken care of.

Give Your Jaw A Rest With A Teeth Grinding & TMJ Treatment

You know how you never notice how often you use a particular part of your hand until you get a cut there and keep bumping it and feeling pain? Well, suffice it to say that if you have a jaw problem you’ll appreciate more than most how much your complex jaw joints influence your overall quality of life.
By visiting us and getting a custom mouthguard or splint to treat your TMJ-related problems, you’ll be able to prevent teeth grinding, clenching, and other issues. Your oral appliance will accomplish this by slightly shifting your jaw, preventing the behaviors that are symptoms and causes of your jaw pain. The oral appliance will also allow your jaw to rest and heal.
We will custom-make your treatment using precise impressions so it’ll fit you just right and feel comfortable when worn. In no time you’ll again be able to:

• Eat your favorite crunchy or chewy foods without discomfort
• Open your mouth wide without pain
• Smile, chew, and speak without difficulty
• Avoid pain caused by TMJ disorder in your jaw, face, neck, and shoulders

In case you were curious, TMJ stands for “temporomandibular joint,” which is just a technical term for the very complex joints on either side of your jaw. Teeth grinding can be a symptom of a TMJ disorder or it could be its own issue that is not technically a TMJ disorder. All you really need to know is if you are having trouble with your jaw and want relief.
Not all patients experience TMJ disorder in the same way. There are many potential symptoms. And in some cases, a TMJ disorder can manifest in certain ways and then change as the disorder takes a toll on your jaw and causes inflammation. If you are experiencing any of the following, visit us soon for an evaluation of your jaw:

• Teeth grinding and/or jaw clenching, especially involuntarily while you’re sleeping
• Difficulty opening your mouth wide
• Feeling as though your upper and lower jaw are not fitting together as they normally do
• Clicking, grating, or popping sounds when you open and close your mouth
• Feeling like you have an earache without actually having an ear infection
• Swelling of your jaw

If you have any questions about your situation or about how we are going to treat your TMJ-related issues, just let us know. Our friendly team will do everything we can to help you feel comfortable when you are visiting us at George A. Hoop, DDS.
To ensure you know what to expect, we will explain each step that goes into making your athletic mouthguard. You’ll be happy to know that there will not be any pain involved in creating your athletic mouthguard. Basically, we will take a precise impression and make adjustments if necessary once your appliance is made.
We also want you to feel comfortable when you are visiting us. We even have a few comfort options you can choose from if you need help relieving dental anxiety.
We look forward to helping you get your healthy jaw function back!
