There are different threats to your smile that should be taken seriously. Cavities are certainly a concern, but you also need to worry about the risk of physical injury certain unresolved issues can pose. One of those issues is bruxism, as a tendency to grind your teeth while you are asleep can have a serious impact on your dental well-being and smile. Bruxism is often connected to poor jaw alignment and movement, an issue known as TMJ disorder. This can make it difficult for you to bite and chew food, it can cause stress on your joints and muscles, and it can make you more likely to have regular headaches as well as issues with neck and shoulder pain. Our Bellaire, TX dentist’s office is prepared to assist you by treating these issues in order to protect your smile and improve your quality of life. (more…)
