Relieving the Pain of TMJ Disorder in Woodlands Texas

Many people grind their teeth at night and never know it. They wake up with sore and sensitive teeth and maybe even constant headaches, but can’t figure out why. Because tooth grinding usually occurs when you are in your deepest sleep this grinding and clenching can go undiagnosed until your teeth are  severely damaged. They crack, chip, wear down and even the enamel at your gumline can break off, leaving nerves exposed.  That is why it is important to ask your dentist to evaluate you for both TMJ and Bruxism on a regular basis. It can save your teeth!

White Fillings – So Much More than Beautiful

Do you have children? Do they have metal fillings in their teeth? Do you? If yes, we recommend considering having them removed and replaced with white fillings or porcelain inlays or onlays. Why? The fillings commonly called “ silver” are only silver in color. Those silvery metal fillings are really made up largely of Mercury and have been shown in several studies to possibly leak this toxic substance every time you chew! Why take the chance, especially for your kids. White fillings make sure that their systems stay free of mercury and that they can feel proud of their bright, white smiles – even when they laugh. To find out more about the differences between metal fillings and the white ones offered in our office, call Dr. Shirley Cagle at 281.681.9442 or visit our website, www.shirleycagledds.com.

White Fillings – So Much More than Beautiful

Open your mouth and look in the mirror. Do you like what you see? Are your teeth white and natural looking all the way back or are there ugly, dark fillings marring your smile? Those grayish or metallic fillings, commonly referred to as “silver fillings,” are made up largely of Mercury and could actually be harming both your smile and your body. But don’t worry. There are alternatives. The next time your dentist tells you have a cavity, ask about tooth colored composite fillings. Not only are the new composite materials stronger and more durable than ever before, they are also much more attractive and better for both you and the environment.
