Dental Health Problems

Although no one likes to have dental problems, most are easily treated and preventable with proper oral hygiene habits, a good diet, and regular visits to the dentist. Corner Dental cares for dental problems of all types, from those caused by bad habits to genetic and environmental factors.

Check this list for 10 very common dental problems:

Bad Breath

Chronic bad breath, known as halitosis, is often caused by dental problems like gum disease, cavities, and common oral bacteria.
At Corner Dental, we can diagnose the problem and devise a plan to cure it. Don’t let your social life suffer any longer!
Tooth Decay

Believe it or not, tooth decay is the second most prevalent disease in the United States next to the common cold. Obviously, good oral hygiene and a healthy diet can limit the plaque that causes this problem, but regular dental check-ups are the best method for treatment and prevention.
Periodontal Disease

Also known as gum disease, this is linked to a variety of other health issues such as heart disease and stroke. It is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Prevention includes brushing twice daily and flossing daily, along with regular check-ups in order to identify gum disease in the early stages.
Sensitive Teeth

Do you have pain while consuming hot or cold beverages? Tooth sensitivity affects millions of people, and in some cases it is caused by brushing too vigorously, while in others it is a genetic issue. It is treated with fluoride, which also helps prevent tooth decay.
Crooked Smile

Although this can wreak havoc on your self-confidence, there are several treatment options that can help align your smile. The orthodontic experts at Corner Dental can devise a treatment plan to fit your lifestyle and correct your smile.
Toothache

Toothaches are painful and irritating. They are caused by a variety of problems like sensitivity, or cavities. Most causes can be managed by regular dental visits, and good oral hygiene. We can help manage the cause and relieve your pain.
Broken Permanent Tooth

Sports injuries, glassware, eating hard candy or chewing ice can result in a broken tooth. Sometimes this tooth can be saved, and if it can’t, dental implants can be used to restore your smile. If you break a tooth, consult with one of our experts and evaluate your options.
Enamel Erosion

Some commonly consumed foods and drinks contain acids that attack the enamel and weaken the tooth structure. This causes sensitivity, chipping, and cracking. The doctors at Corner Dental can help repair erosion, and can also reverse it with diet tips and special fluoride treatments.
Mouth Sores

These happen for a variety of reasons, and are typically uncomfortable. Usually, they go away on their own, and there are several over-the-counter topical solutions that relieve the pain. If you have a sore that has lasted longer than a couple of weeks, give us a call and we will get you in for an exam.
Overbite or Underbite

Usually due to an improperly developed jaw, or bad habits like thumb sucking, it can create problems speaking and chewing, as well as contribute to periodontal disease. The variety of treatments differ depending on the severity of the case, therefore you should consult with an orthodontic specialist at Corner Dental to determining the best treatment for you.
