If you have a damaged tooth, even if the damage appears to be quite minor, such as a chip, you should let us know. While we’re closed for preventive and cosmetic treatments, we’re still available to help people in Livonia, MI with dental emergencies. Find out how we treat chipped teeth, and the steps we take to ensure our patients remain safe and healthy.
To help slow the spread of COVID-19 and protect the members of our community, many people are staying home when possible and practicing social distancing. Our office is doing the same, only offering emergency care at the moment. However, just because you’re home doesn’t mean you should neglect your smile! Your Livonia, MI, dentist has a few tips for keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
Sometimes, a toothache could arise due to cold air, changes in elevation, or even sinus or allergy issues. However, these aches pass after a few hours. But what if they don’t? If you have a toothache that is persistent, then you may need to see your Livonia, MI, dentist for treatment! Otherwise, your tooth could become vulnerable to cavities, infection, and even loss!
When you have aches or sensitivity in your teeth, this often means you have a pretty serious cavity, or even the beginnings of an infected tooth. But what if you notice soreness and sensitivity in your gums? In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist talks about how we address soreness and protect smiles from periodontal disease and periodontitis!
Orthotropic care is often prescribed by your Livonia dentist to help children under the age of ten correct the growth of the jaw and oral structures, preventing serious complications in adulthood ranging from sleep apnea to TMJ disorder. However, what if adults report issues with TMD, nighttime breathing, and sleep disorders due to issues with jawbone structure and oral tissues? For adults, we may suggest the Homeoblock oral appliance.
When a cavity is untreated, or a severe crack or chip occurs, then your tooth could become infected. Unless treated, this issue could mean a lost tooth and poorer oral health. Fortunately, your Livonia, MI, dentist can help treat the problem and restore the health of your smile with a safe and comfortable root canal treatment.
In our last blog, we explained how we address advanced cases of tooth loss with a partial denture. But what if you’ve lost a majority of your teeth, or possibly all of them? In these scenarios, your Livonia, MI, dentist may suggest a full denture. But will your smile need a removable or fixed prosthetic?
When we lose a small number of teeth, a bridge or single tooth dental implant is often a preferred solution. If you lost most of your teeth or all of them, then we may use a full denture. But what if you lose several teeth, with gaps spread out across your smile? In these situations, your Livonia, MI, dentist may suggest a partial denture.
Issues with the growth and development of our facial structure and oral tissues could lead to trouble breathing, poor sleep, and complications with our overall facial appearance. In order to correct these concerns and provide greater facial support, your Livonia, MI, dentist may suggest adult orthotropics, including Homeoblock appliances!
When you have between one or three missing teeth then our team can offer a custom-made dental bridge to restore function and beauty to the smile. In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist talks about our bridges, and the steps patients can take to ensure they last for many years to come!
