ABOUT TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DYSFUNCTION (TMJ) What Causes Jaw Pain? The most common cause of jaw pain is due to an injury or abnormality affecting the joint hinging your jaw, called the temporomandibular joint. It’s a problem called temporomandibular joint disorder or TMD or TMJ and is estimated to affect nearly 10 million people in the United States alone. Several different things can cause TMJ as it can be due to the muscles controlling jaw movement becoming painful, or because of injury to the jaw joint. Excessively stimulating the jaw joint can cause jaw pain, and sometimes the disc that helps to cushion jaw movements becomes displaced or damaged. This disc can also become affected by arthritis. Your jaw joint or the muscles controlling your jaws can be damaged because of several factors, the most common of which is teeth grinding and clenching, a problem called bruxism. It’s a mainly nocturnal habit where people will clench or grind their teeth during sleep, irritating and inflaming the jaw joint and facial muscles and causing a great deal of damage to teeth, jaws, and gums. It’s an issue that can be brought on by stress and anxiety. Any form of trauma to the jaw joint, for example, an unexpected blow to the face while playing sports can also damage these joints. What Are the Symptoms of TMJ? Symptoms can vary greatly depending on the severity of your TMJ. Most commonly, it causes pain in the head or neck area, and jaw pain can limit jaw movement. The muscles that operate your jaw joints can feel stiff, or the jaw could become locked in place. When you do open and close your mouth, you may notice your jaw joints make a clicking or popping sound. It’s also possible for the jaw to shift position slightly, changing the way your teeth bite or occlude together.

WHAT’S CONSIDERED A DENTAL EMERGENCY? If you knock a tooth out, you know immediately that you need urgent dental care. But an emergency isn’t always so cut-and-dried. If you don’t feel much pain, maybe you can wait a few days to visit your dentist. But if you experience more severe tooth pain or pain in your gums or jaw, don’t hesitate to call your dentist. You can exacerbate your problems by waiting. Dental issues rarely go away on their own. You need the best dental care. Symptoms and conditions that constitute an immediate dental emergency include: Bleeding from your mouth. If your gums or inner cheeks are bleeding and won’t stop, that’s a condition that requires 24-hour emergency dental care or a trip to the nearest emergency room. Try to stop the bleeding, but you need urgent dental care to ease the swelling and pain. A broken tooth. If a tooth has been knocked out entirely or a piece has broken off, you definitely need emergency dental care. Find the tooth that fell out, put it in saline or milk, and get to your dentist or emergency room. If you don’t act quickly, you may lose the tooth forever. A loose or detached crown or filling. If a filling or crown falls out or even becomes loose, you feel the pain immediately, since now your tooth pulp is unprotected and exposed. Even a breath can cause pain. You may have a metallic taste. Get to an emergency dental facility for treatment. Otherwise, you may need a root canal. Nerve pain. Pain from an exposed nerve in your tooth is intense. It’s constant and may even be throbbing. You need urgent dental care to save the tooth. If the pain suddenly disappears, that’s a sign the tooth nerves are dead or dying. Any swelling around your mouth. Inflammation signals a problem. You won’t know why your mouth is swelling until you get in to see your dentist, who can examine you with an experienced eye. It may be an abscessed tooth or something even more severe. A tooth with an abscess. An abscess is an infection beneath your tooth. It can cause difficulty in breathing, eating, and drinking. Since infections can attack nearby teeth, seek immediate emergency dental care. Severe tooth decay. If the cavity is left untreated, it can damage the tooth pulp without the possibility of restoration. When tooth decay is beyond what can be treated with a root canal or dental fillings, emergency tooth extraction will be required. Some food stuck in your mouth. Bits of popcorn, shells, or candy can get stuck between your teeth or between your teeth and gums. It can irritate your gums, causing pain and swelling. If you can’t reach it, see your dentist for emergency toothache relief. Pain without a known cause. When you’re feeling acute or dull pain, and you don’t know the cause of the pain, you need urgent dental care. Pain always signals a health issue, and if you don’t know the reason, your dentist has to make a diagnosis before it can be treated.

ABOUT GUM GRAFTING To perform a gum graft, your dentist at dental office Astoria, NY removes healthy skin from another place in your mouth or uses synthetic tissue. The donor tissue helps repair receding gums that occur from gum disease. Gum graft surgery is always a last resort. Gum grafting is simple and safe when performed by a trained family dentist. Our dental team ensures your comfort and safety during all dental procedures and always concentrates on your ultimate dental health first. They also practice cosmetic dentistry, so if you need any follow-up procedures to improve your appearance after gum grafting, you can get them done at the same place. Why Do I Need a Gum Graft? Gum graft surgery is one of the best methods used to treat damaging gum disease. Periodontitis first begins with gingivitis, which is a milder form of gum disease. It usually causes gum inflammation and bleeding, which you might notice when you brush. Maintaining regular checkups and cleanings is the first line of defense against developing serious gum disease complications that require gum graft surgery. You can take measures yourself because inflammation and receding gums often is exacerbated by brushing too strenuously or by using a hard-bristled toothbrush. In its early stages, periodontitis is the result of bacteria built up around your gum line.

A dental crown is a general dentistry procedure sometimes called a cap because it covers or ‘caps’ the entire tooth, so none of your original tooth is visible. We fabricate our dental crowns from a range of durable materials, including gold, porcelain fused to metal, porcelain only, and zirconia. Once we fit a dental crown, it provides excellent protection for the tooth underneath. A well-crafted, custom crown can improve the appearance of your smile. Porcelain dental crowns are often the most effective way to preserve as much of the structural integrity of a damaged tooth as possible while restoring its health, shape, and overall appearance. Custom-crafted to cover the entire surface area of the tooth, dental crowns are an excellent treatment for teeth that are cracked, broken, or structurally weak. By restoring strength to these weaker teeth, our dentists can significantly reduce and often eliminate tooth pain or sensitivity. In the process, porcelain crowns also conceal flaws in the appearance of the teeth, resulting in a more radiant, balanced, and aesthetically pleasing smile. Preserve the structural integrity of a damaged tooth while restoring its health, shape, and appearance. Benefits of Dental Crowns Although there are a variety of options for replacing missing teeth or teeth too damaged to salvage, it is always best to save some of the natural tooth, if at all possible. Aside from the removal of decay or other areas of damage, dental crowns require further reshaping of the natural tooth to accommodate their size. They also protect the basic foundation of the natural tooth, which eventually can be lost if left untreated. As a result, dental crowns help patients avoid more serious future dental problems associated with missing teeth, such as the degradation of the jawbone and other oral tissues, and the shifting of surrounding teeth from their optimal positions. At Gentle Dental, we use finely crafted porcelain dental crowns in a number of treatments. Sometimes we use them to secure larger fillings in teeth that are fragile or otherwise structurally compromised. They are also used to support the replacement teeth in dental bridges, as well as to replace missing individual teeth when attached to dental implant posts. Dr. Knop, Dr. Ilyabayev and Dr. Gelfand rely on their years of dental expertise to create dental crowns that blend beautifully with surrounding natural teeth, ensuring results that are as cosmetically impressive as they are strong and functional.

Why Would I Need a Bone Graft? Bone grafting is often needed in preparation for dental implant placement. When dental implants are inserted into your jaw, they need to be surrounded with several millimeters of strong, healthy bone. The bone is essential, so the dental implant can bond or fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. Good osseointegration ensures the implant is held firmly in the jaw and has enough strength to support a replacement tooth that could be a crown, bridge, or implant denture. If you don’t have enough bone to place dental implants successfully, you will need dental bone graft surgery. Sometimes, bone grafting is carried out as part of a periodontal treatment plan. Our dentist would place a bone graft to help restore bone around teeth, increasing the chances of saving teeth affected by severe gum disease. How Does Bone Loss Occur? Your teeth are surrounded by alveolar bone that is continually remodeling. As old bone cells die off, they are replaced. Severe gum disease can destroy the bone around your teeth, causing tooth loss. Tooth loss can prevent bone remodeling as your tooth roots provide essential stimulation to the bone around them. Consequently, your jawbone gradually resorbs as old bone cells are no longer renewed. The bone in certain areas of your jaw is naturally thinner and more fragile, and especially near your sinus cavities that are just above your upper back teeth. What Materials are Used for Bone Grafting? There are several types of bone grafts available: Autograft – a bone graft surgery that uses your own bone taken from another site in your body, often the jaw or hip bone. Because the bone is your own, the risk of rejection is eliminated, but you will require another surgical procedure to harvest the bone. Another advantage of using a graft from your own body is that it is living bone, which helps enhance the process of bone regrowth. Allograft – a bone graft taken from a human donor. The bone is thoroughly sterilized and extensively processed by being chemically treated, freeze-dried, or irradiated to ensure it is safe to use. Once in place, the dental bone graft provides a scaffold encouraging your body to produce new bone growth. Xenograft – a bone graft taken from an animal donor, and is usually bovine. The bone is thoroughly sterilized and processed at a very high temperature and undergoes extensive testing to make sure it is safe. Just like an allograft, a xenograft provides a scaffold helping your body to produce new bone growth. Alloplast – a bone graft using a synthetic medium that may contain hydroxyapatite, calcium, and phosphorus. It can also contain proteins and growth factors and collagen. The combination of substances helps to promote new bone growth and faster healing. Synthetic bone is extremely effective and is widely used. When you visit Gentle Dental, we can discuss all possible options for bone grafting procedure with you and will provide you with detailed information so you can make an informed choice. During your appointment, we will also discuss the type of bone graft surgery needed.

Complete tooth loss affecting the upper or lower arch, or both arches is a common problem. Full mouth dental implants is an advanced solution that can restore an entire upper or lower arch of teeth using a dental bridge fixed firmly in place. What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants? Full mouth dental implant treatment uses conventional dental implants to secure a large dental bridge that replaces 10 or 12 missing teeth. The dental implants are strategically located throughout the jaw to provide maximum support and strength for the dental bridge. The dental bridge is made from porcelain and is extremely lifelike, replacing missing teeth and gum tissue. It is carefully designed to restore the correct facial dimensions, ensuring facial features and the muscles in the cheeks and lips receive the proper support. The bridge may be cemented in place but is frequently screwed directly onto the dental implants. Although the screws go through the bridge, they are not visible because they are covered with tooth-colored composite resin. Screwing a dental bridge in place makes it easy to retrieve for maintenance and cleaning. Why Consider This Treatment Anyone facing complete tooth loss or who has already lost their teeth may want to consider this treatment as an alternative to dentures. Other advantages to choosing this treatment include: Often, people who have complete dentures find them uncomfortable to wear, and they lack the biting and chewing strength of natural teeth. Full mouth dental implant teeth are comfortable and remain firmly in place and have a similar biting strength to natural teeth. When you can enjoy a more varied diet, it’s easier to eat nutritious foods, potentially protecting overall health. Self-confidence and self-esteem are restored with full mouth dental implants, as you can be confident your teeth look and feel good. Facial appearance can improve, and especially if you have worn loose and uncomfortable dentures for years that lacked the proper support for your facial features. Who Can Have Full Mouth Dental Implants? Full mouth dental implants is an advanced treatment that requires extremely detailed planning. Initially, we will need to examine your mouth and must discuss your dental and medical history. Systemic diseases such as diabetes can affect healing, as can some medications. If you decide to proceed, we will take a cone beam CT scan and digital dental x-rays. We use this digital data to examine your jawbone more fully because we must ensure that the implants can be placed correctly into strong, healthy bone. People who lost teeth some time ago may have suffered significant bone resorption. Bone resorption can also affect people who had advanced periodontal disease. If there isn’t enough bone, we can restore it with bone grafting techniques. Our dental implant dentist will also want to discuss this procedure with you in some detail because the feel of the dental bridge will be quite different compared to your natural teeth. Some people find it tricky to bite properly with a dental bridge because it lacks the sensations associated with real teeth. Consequently, they cannot tell if they are biting too hard. Oral habits like bruxism need addressing before implant treatment as grinding and clenching teeth can affect implant stability. Once we have assessed your suitability for full mouth dental implants, we can begin to plan your treatment.
