There are different reasons why people start to lose confidence in how they look when they smile. A common issue is dental discoloration, which can leave your enamel looking dull and unsightly. While discoloration is not always linked to teeth stains—internal issues can also lead to changes in tooth color—problems with stains left by foods and drinks are often the cause of this problem. To address this, our Bellaire, TX dentist’s office can provide results with a professional teeth whitening treatment. You actually have different options for treatment, as you can plan an in-office treatment, or you can take home a kit that is personalized for your use at your convenience. (more…)

Harm Done By TMJ Disorder And Bruxism
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…)
