Tootaches can be a minor irritation, or they can be an indication of something much more serious. If you're not quite sure how serious something is, set an appointment with us.
Seeing your dentist for regular cleanings is about more than just a brighter smile—it’s a vital part of maintaining your overall health. During a professional cleaning, your dental hygienist removes plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can’t reach. This helps prevent gum disease, cavities, and tooth loss. But the benefits go far beyond your mouth.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders affect the joints that connect your jaw to your skull, often causing jaw pain, clicking sounds, headaches, and difficulty chewing. These symptoms can stem from teeth grinding (bruxism), stress, arthritis, or jaw misalignment.
