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.

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.

Problems
with Recurring Tension or Migraine Headaches?
Help is Finally Here.
Those who suffer from severe headaches are accustomed to swallowing
a pill for relief. But today there is a drug-free alternative to
become pain free. It is a small acrylic device called the NTI™ that
is approved by the FDA, painless when in place, and very affordable.
It has been successful with so many patients that it has received
much media attention. Statistics have shown that 82% of migraine
sufferers had a 77% reduction in occurrences.
When the appliance is placed inside your mouth, the jaw is placed in
a correct position, allowing the muscles under the scalp to relax.
As most headaches occur from the strain of these muscles, this
device is most effective and easy to use and re-use with no side
effects, no prescription, and no more headaches! Please let us know
if you have problems with headaches, so we can help provide relief
from this debilitating pain.

Many things can cause these symptoms, which can make it difficult to diagnose. Possible causes include sinus problems, toothache, arthritis, injury, teeth grinding, gingivitis or problems with your jaw like TMJ. Your dentist will conduct a thorough exam, which may include X-rays, to determine the source of the pain.

We Can Alleviate Symptoms of Gum
Disease
Chronic
bad breath, bleeding, or receding gums are often symptoms of
periodontal (gum) disease. It has been estimated by the American
Dental Association that 90% of all adults have some level of
development of gum disease. The usual treatments for this condition
range from deep cleaning and scaling to surgery. We are pleased to
offer a minimally invasive technique that is very gentle but
effective in eliminating the bacteria that causes the problems. It’s
called Perio Protect™ and often eliminates the need for any surgery.
Here’s how it works:
Special trays are made for each patient’s upper and lower dental
arches. This is similar to the trays made for whitening teeth. The
trays are filled with time-released antimicrobial medication that is
absorbed into the gums and that works by removing the harmful film
of bacteria from teeth and root surfaces.
As this treatment is most effective, it is the winning ticket to
quickly and painlessly fight this harmful disease. In just a few
days, you will begin to see results and be happy with what you see.
Please set up an appointment to determine if you are a suitable
candidate for this method.
