Cleanings and Examinations
Keeping an eye on your smile is a big part of staying safe. That’s why you’re supposed to come in to see your dentist twice each year for routine cleaning and an examination. So, if it’s been a bit since your last one, bring yourself up to speed.
Biannual checkups are also an opportunity to discuss your dental direction. At your next one, be sure to ask all of your oral health-related questions. We’re here to help!
Children’s Dentistry
As soon as they have teeth, they need to see a qualified dentist to learn how to take care of them. We’re proud to be a real resource for parents and their kids. So, if it’s been a while since their last checkup, we’d love to see them.
Emergency Dentistry
Sometimes, things happen. Even though enamel is stronger than bone, it can be damaged through injury or tooth decay, and at that point, you become at risk. Let us know quickly if you’ve broken or cracked one of your teeth.
Our office understands that these problems tend to happen at the worst times, too. That’s why we make ourselves available when you need us. Call our office to talk about your needs, even if it’s after hours.
Ultrasonic Scaling
Periodontal disease consistently ranks as one of the biggest dangers for a smile. The infection and inflammation of gum tissue makes it tough for teeth to stand up straight. And unfortunately, it’s something that’s tough to treat on your own.
Modern Dentistry of Shrewsbury helps people fight back against periodontal disease through effective scaling and root planing. This combined set of processes works to ease the gums by keeping them cleaner. So, if you’ve noticed redness or swelling along the gumline, ask about improving your gum health.
Bruxism/TMJ
A happy and healthy smile depends on balance to stay safe. Two prevalent conditions make that more difficult however. And these are important to watch out for.
Bruxism happens when you grind your teeth or clench your jaw. While this might seem like harmless behavior, it can radically impact the appearance and function of an otherwise-healthy smile. TMJ, or Temporomandibular Joint Disorder and Dysfunction, can happen in conjunction with bruxism or on its own. At your next checkup, talk to Dr. Karimipour about ways to protect your bite.
Botox Injections
One of the primary reasons for TMJ dysfunction is the overactivity of the big jaw muscles that help you chew. These muscles, called masseters, need to work properly in order to avoid issues. If they become too strong on one side, it can affect the jaw’s function.
Botox injections have been shown to be a real help in quieting the masseter muscles. If your dentist has told you that an overacting jaw is impacting your oral health, see if a simple and speedy Botox solution is right for you. It only takes a few minutes.
