Top Dental Symptoms: Mouth Sores

Types of mouth sores include canker sores, cold sores, leukoplakia and candidiasis. They vary in their severity and causes. Mouth sores could be the symptom of a disease or disorder; infection from bacteria, viruses or fungus or result from irritation caused by braces, dentures or the sharp edge of a broken tooth or filling. Your dentist should examine any mouth sore that lasts a week or longer.

Top Dental Symptoms: Toothache

If your mouth or jaw hurt, it could be from a toothache. Toothaches usually indicate a cavity but they can also signal gum disease. In some cases, a toothache is a sign of an abscess or impacted tooth. A toothache should be evaluated by a dentist right away to determine the cause of the problem and prevent the tooth from dying.

Dentistry for Adults


Oral Hygiene & Dental Root Canal Treatment Montclair VAThe Importance of Hygiene Visits

Sometimes even meticulous brushing might miss some of the contours of the back teeth, resulting in a buildup of plaque that hardens into tartar. When tartar collects below the gumline, gum disease occurs. Medical research has identified a possible link between bacterial infections of the gums and the serious health conditions of stroke, diabetes, and heart disease. We advise all of our patients how important it is to have their teeth cleaned on a regular basis to maintain good health.

Root Canal Therapy Can Save Hopeless Teeth

Extraction used to be the solution for teeth with infected or damaged roots. With today’s technology, a root canal can be performed to save a tooth. During the procedure, the nerve is removed and replaced with a filling material. Often times, a crown will be placed over the tooth to give it added strength. With today’s anesthetics and advanced technologies, root canals are manageable and no longer dreaded, as in the past.
