General Dentistry, General Info, Patient Information

At McMillan Family Dental, we encourage patients to visit our office for routine hygiene examinations. Not only are these appointments necessary to look for signs of tooth decay, but we also look for other common conditions that can be rather severe if not detected early and treated in a timely manner. One such condition is gum disease. Gum disease, also commonly known as periodontal disease, is a serious gum infection caused by bacterial growth along the gumline and around the base of the tooth. When gum disease is left untreated, it will continue to progress and can cause serious complications such as tooth loss and deterioration of the jawbone.

Could You Be Grinding Your Teeth Unknowingly?

Bruxism, General Info, Patient Information

Do you often experience discomfort in your jaw or frequent headaches? Or perhaps you have experienced problems with cracked teeth. If you have noticed any of these problems, you may be suffering from bruxism. Bruxism is the term used to describe a condition where a patient repeatedly clenches and grinds their teeth unconsciously. If not treated in a timely fashion, bruxism can lead to serious oral health complications and the need for additional treatments. Many people who suffer from bruxism are unaware because it occurs during sleep.
