Ouch! No Seattle dental patient wants the pain and inconvenience of a cracked tooth, so today in the Advanced Cosmetic & Laser Dentistry dental blog we are going to focus on how to avoid this very preventable problem.
The first thing to remember is that avoiding a cracked tooth is not rocket science; You should steer clear of chewing on hard things if you don’t want to deal with a toothache in Seattle! This includes ice, hard candy, and popcorn.
Also, protect yourself against any impact on the mouth that could be experienced during sporting events. If you are a member of a local Bellevue or Kirkland recreation center basketball, ultimate frisbee, or flag football league, pick up a mouth guard at a Seattle area sporting goods store.
Tooth grinding has never been a good thing for anyone, and it can even lead to a cracked tooth or a toothache in Seattle. Talk to your dentist, doctor, or physical therapist about some stress reduction techniques to keep your jaw nice and relaxed.
Be sure to keep your regular check-ups with your Redmond dentist because your dentist can spot possible problems that could predispose you to a cracked tooth, such as an uneven chewing surface or brittle teeth.
If you have a cracked tooth or a toothache in Seattle, you’ll want to pursue the correct course of treatment and, if needed, explore some cosmetic dentistry procedures to fix any visible damage such as veneers, a porcelain crown, or a dental implant.
At Advanced Cosmetic Implant & Laser Dentistry, we practice general and cosmetic dentistry. Our practice offers a large variety of services such as cosmetic dentistry, sedation dentistry, dental implants, and teeth whitening.
