There are many advantages to choosing tooth-colored fillings. One of the more popular reasons is because tooth-colored fillings help you not have the mouth full of metal look. Many people want a more innate look when it comes to their dental work, and tooth-colored fillings are able to give you just that. The important aspect about fillings is the fact that it saves your tooth from further harm. When there is a cavity or decay, Dr. Carmen removes the decay and fills the space with the tooth-colored filling. If not treated in the proper amount of time, the problem can worsen, even leading to bone loss.

TMJ Therapy with Dr. Carmen Can Help With Pain

December 20, 2013

TMJ pain affects millions of people, forcing them to live with piercing pain and constant uneasiness. Although you may think nothing can alleviate you of your pain, as part of our family dentistry practice, Dr. Bobby Carmen is able to help. We will make sure you will be able to live your life pain-free and happier!

The TMJ, temporomandibular joint, is a small joint located where the lower jaw meets the skull. There are many things that can cause TMJ pain such as grinding teeth, arthritis, and the joint itself. The side effects of TMJ pain include not being able to open your mouth all the way, hearing a popping or clicking noise when you open your mouth, and much more. One way to help with your TMJ pain may involve wearing a mouthguard. The mouthguard prevents your teeth from grinding as well as clenching your jaw. Because every person is different, the mouthguards should be different as well. The mouthguard will be custom made specifically for you, and is a wonderful step in relieving you of your TMJ pain.

You can also do jaw massages to help with TMJ pain. If you massage your temple and jaw, it increases blood circulation, helping with the pain. Also, good posture helps! A straight back and a relaxed neck can really make a difference!

If you feel as though Dr. Carmen is able to help you with you TMJ pain, or you have any questions about treatment options, make an appointment at our office, and our experienced and knowledgeable team will be ready to help you with anything you need!
