At Fairfax Dental Esthetics, Fairfax, VA, our primary goal is to preserve your tooth. But occasionally, the only solution is a tooth extraction.
When this is the case, our Fairfax, VA dentists will explain all your options, including why a tooth extraction is the best option. At Fairfax Dental Esthetics, Fairfax, VA we focus on your comfort. Whether you are having a wisdom tooth removed, or having any other tooth extraction procedure, our experienced and empathetic dental professionals have your comfort at the top of their list.
When is Tooth Extraction Necessary:
- A tooth is so badly decayed or damage that a filling or crown would not be enough to restore it.
- There is overcrowding in the mouth, making it impossible for an orthodontic treatment to do its job.
- We need to make room in your mouth for dentures.
- Gum disease or other problems have compromised the bone that supports a tooth.
- Your wisdom teeth are endangering your oral health.
Within a week of your tooth extraction you will feel much better and be able to resume your daily routine. However, your mouth will still be healing and you should be cautious of the area.
How We Can Alleviate Your TMJ Pain:
Mouth Guards
Mouth guards are an essential protective appliance for those with Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ/TMD). These specially designed guards not only protect teeth from impact injuries but also provide crucial cushioning to reduce trauma to the mouth, teeth, and jaw - areas particularly sensitive in TMJ/TMD patients.
Night Guards
For patients who experience bruxism, or teeth grinding, our team at Lowes Island Dentistry in Sterling, VA encourages you to be fitted for a night guard. Night guards, or bite guards, help to protect your teeth from crushing and grinding of teeth by providing a protective layer between your teeth.
Botox for TMJ
Botox injections can provide relief for those suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder by relaxing the overactive muscles around the jaw joint. When the muscles are too tense, it can cause pain, teeth grinding, jaw clicking, and limited jaw mobility. Botox works by temporarily weakening these muscle contractions, alleviating compression on the TMJ and reducing associated symptoms like headaches, jaw pain, and lockjaw.
