How Poor Oral Health Makes You More Vulnerable To Jaw Pain
Trying to simply live with, or work around, a possible dental problem can lead to consequences you do not see coming. One reason to take signs of poor oral health seriously is that a problem with a cavity can gradually worsen over time, changing the way your dentist must approach your restorative dental treatment. Another reason to feel concerned is that when you are not able to practice your normal bite function due to pain or sensitivity, you can start to develop jaw problems. An awkward bite function raises the level of stress placed on your joints and muscles, and over time that can lead to chronic pain from TMJ disorder. This can also lead to the onset of a teeth grinding habit that leaves you with greater risk for dental damage. Your Temecula, CA dentist’s office is prepared to help you if you are currently trying to contend with oral health issues, and with problems with jaw pain and stiffness. (more…)
Tired All The Time? It Could Become A Problem For Your Smile

Our Corona, CA dentist’s office is prepared to help you maintain your smile during every routine dental exam. By committing to enjoying better rest, you can make preventive care easier on yourself!
