Reverse that "Numbness" Feeling after Dental Treatments

No More ‘Fat Lips’ or Numbness After Treatment!

There are times after routine dental treatments that patients experience “numbness” for up to 5 hours. It’s difficult to talk or eat, and the face and lips feel “fat.” What if that didn’t have to occur? We are pleased to offer our patients OraVerse™. This product reverses the anaesthetic after your treatment is completed. In approximately 15 minutes a patient feels back to normal. So, if the idea of being numb for hours after your procedure makes you uncomfortable – we can take care of that for you!

Tooth Extraction: Procedure, Healing, & Complications

Below is an excerpt from an article found on crest.com A tooth extraction is an outpatient procedure performed by a dentist. In some cases pulling teeth (removing a tooth completely from its spot in the jaw bone), may be necessary to preserve or improve your dental health. Some of the reasons for tooth extraction include: Pulling teeth for braces: Preparation for orthodontia (braces and retainers) often involves pulling one tooth or a few teeth. Pulling teeth to save space: Wisdom teeth are often removed if there is no space for them in the mouth, or if they become impacted or infected. Pulling teeth due to damage or decay: Tooth extraction may be the only option if a tooth is too decayed or damaged to be repaired with a filling or crown. Pulling teeth in radiation or chemotherapy patients: If radiation or chemotherapy to the head and neck causes teeth to become infected, pulling teeth may be necessary.

Temporomandibular Joints Pain (TMJ)

Below is an excerpt from an article found on mouthhealthy.org The temporomandibular joints, called TMJ, are the joints and jaw muscles that make it possible to open and close your mouth. Located on each side of the head, your TMJ work together when you chew, speak or swallow and include muscles and ligaments as well as the jaw bone. They also control the lower jaw (mandible) as it moves forward, backward and side to side. Each TMJ has a disc between the ball and socket. The disc cushions the load while enabling the jaw to open widely and rotate or glide.

Dental Fluorosis: Causes, Treatments & Prevention

Below is an excerpt from an article found on crest.com Dental flourosis (pronounced “floo-roh-sis”) is a common condition that can affect the appearance of children’s teeth due to the hypocalcification of tooth enamel . What is hypocalcification? It’s merely the scientific term for having less than normal amounts of calcification in the teeth, leading to spots of softer enamel and discoloration. Most cases of fluorosis are mild and do not affect tooth function or cause pain, though in rare severe cases the enamel itself is affected with pitting and brown spots that aren’t as easily treated. Adults aren’t affected by fluorosis, but if you suspect that your child may have a severe form of fluorosis, see a dentist as soon as possible. What causes Dental Fluorosis? Sometimes called mottled enamel or enamel fluorosis, dental fluorosis occurs due to the sustained overconsumption of fluoride when the enamel layers of permanent teeth are being formed, even before they’re visible.
