Did you know there’s been a significant spike in stress-induced oral health issues over the last few years? A study by the ADA Health Policy Institute found that 71% of dentists have reported seeing an increase in patients experiencing tooth grinding and clenching, 63% say they’ve seen an increase in chipped and cracked teeth, and 62% report a spike in temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD).

February is Receding Gums Awareness Month, and this common oral health issue is a serious one. So serious that, if left untreated, it can cause tooth loss and increase your chances of tooth decay and infection.
The American Academy of Periodontology says that almost half of all adults over 30 have some form of gum recession. And while you may not think you’re part of that group, you may be experiencing subtle symptoms without realizing it.
Rest assured that we assess the health of your gums during every visit and should we spot signs that look concerning, we’ll let you know and develop a treatment plan to help.
Have questions about receding gums? Let us know!

Cheek biting can be a painful and unconscious habit that can be a sign of a more significant issue. Among the factors that contribute to cheek biting:
• Distraction

If you’re noticing an uptick in how often you accidentally bite your cheek(s), call us. We’ll examine your mouth and let you know how we can help.

They’re also customized to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, which boosts your smiling confidence!
