Do You Grind Your Teeth Overnight?

Posted by

Pain Jaw Omaha NEIf you wake up with discomfort and tightness in your jaw, it may be from overnight teeth grinding. This condition is known as bruxism and it is a prevalent condition for American sleepers. If you struggle with this unconscious activity, the health of your smile could be at risk. Bruxism can wear down the top of your teeth, eroding the surface material known as enamel. Your condition can also move your teeth out of alignment. Since grinding can often be repetitive, you could be left with severe damage in an otherwise healthy mouth.

An oral appliance from Pacific Hills Dental in Omaha, NE can give you a loft landing spot for your jaws overnight. This non-surgical approach aims to minimize the contact between your teeth during sleep. Without a barrier, your grinding could wear down your enamel and leave you with stubby, unattractive teeth. Speak with your provider and see how an overnight oral appliance can give you a better night of sleep and keep your enamel intact! (more…)

A Way To Move Forward With A Root Canal

Posted by

Farm Woman Omaha NEBacterial infection within one of your teeth can lead to a painful situation. When the nerve in a tooth becomes compromised by infection, this toothache is a sign of a serious issue. These microorganisms can wreak havoc within the safety of your natural enamel. While this tissue is normally a strength for our immunological health, damage can occur. Some common instances of enamel damage include cavities. Periodontal disease can also result as a result of poor oral health hygiene.

A root canal is the removal of the interior fleshy portion within the tooth. This removes the worrisome infection as well as the nerve and circulatory tissue. The connection between this location and the jaw are sealed to prevent reinfection or possible spread into the bone matter. After the root canal, you will require the placement of a dental crown to ensure the lasting stability of the location and keep your bite functional. Pacific Hills Dental in Omaha, NE is here to get your mouth back up to speed and help you chew with confidence! (more…)
