Common Dental Problems<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Abscessed tooth<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An abscess<\/a> is a painful condition caused by infection in a badly damaged or decayed tooth.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Bad Breath (halitosis)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Halitosis, or \u201cbad breath<\/a>\u201d is a common, but embarrassing condition that often has a dental cause.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Cavities and Tooth Decay<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tooth decay<\/a> is the process of a tooth\u2019s mineral content being dissolved. A cavity, or caries, is the actual hole in a tooth that is caused by tooth decay.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Dry Mouth<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dry mouth<\/a> is caused by an inadequate supply of saliva. This is usually due to medication side effects, but may have other causes.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Gum Disease (Gingivitis)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Gingivitis<\/a> is an inflammation of the gums that is usually caused by plaque. It is the earliest and most easily treated form of gum disease, as it only affects the gums, but it must be treated to avoid more serious gum disease.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Impacted\/Wisdom Teeth<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An impacted tooth<\/a> is one that fails to properly emerge through the gums. We will recommend extraction of impacted wisdom teeth if they pose a problem for your mouth and other teeth.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Jaw Disorders<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most problems with the jaw<\/a> come from the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the muscles that help you chew. We at Dental Associates of Delaware have treatments that can ease this pain and discomfort.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Oral Cancer<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Early detection is the key<\/a> to successful treatment of oral cancers, so we are the first line of defense. Ask us about oral cancer screening at your next regular visit.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Periodontal Disease (Periodontitis)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Periodontitis is advanced gum disease<\/a>. While Gingivitis, the earlier stage, affects only the gums, periodontitis is infection that has spread to surrounding tissue, including tooth and bone.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Plaque<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Plaque<\/a> is a sticky film of bacteria that coats teeth. When we eat, plaque reacts with the food in our mouth and releases acids that eat away at teeth enamel, causing tooth decay.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Sensitive Teeth<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tooth Sensitivity<\/a> is a very common problem that can be treated effectively by us at Dental Associates of Delaware with different products and techniques. It occurs when gums have receded or tooth enamel is worn down to reveal the sensitive parts of the tooth.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Bruxism is either the clenching or grinding of teeth<\/a>, or both of them together. Your dentist will often recommend a mouth appliance to prevent damage to your teeth, and stress reduction to change the behavior.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Toothaches<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are many possible causes for a toothache<\/a>. Two of the most common dental causes are the presence of a cavity<\/a> or an abscess<\/a>. Some of the other causes of toothache are quite serious, so you should certainly consult with us for a proper diagnosis.[\/vc_column_text]
