Did you know that Botox may also be used for dental procedures? On each side of the head, the temporomandibular joint may be found at the point where the jawbone and the skull come together. This joint is often employed for a wide variety of day-to-day operations, including chewing, speaking, and swallowing, amongst others.
TMJ is mostly brought on by two symptoms: discomfort in the jaw and involuntary jaw movements brought on by stress. Botox works swiftly to alleviate temporomandibular joint stress by easing the muscles in the jaw. This stops the jaw from moving unconsciously and puts an end to headaches brought on by grinding.
Endodontists are dental specialists who perform intricate procedures to repair damaged soft and hard structures deep inside teeth. They diagnose complex dental aches such as tooth abscesses and root troubles, and they cure such symptoms. In order to give our patients the precise treatment they need for good gums and oral health, our professionals use root canal therapy in addition to other pain-relieving procedures.
It’s possible that scaling and root planing are just what you need if you’re in need of further treatment beyond what your routine teeth cleaning can provide. The treatment for chronic periodontal disease includes scaling and root planing of the teeth, which is also known as gum disease, in addition to other dental procedures that are more involved.
Teeth scaling and root planing may need more than one visit to the dentist and may call for the use of a local anesthetic depending on the severity of your chronic periodontal disease and whether or not you have receding gums. In certain cases, you may also be required to use a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout your treatment. That said, scaling and root planing both have their advantages. These treatments often reduce the likelihood of tooth loss, as well as bone and tissue loss, and promote healthy gums.
The use of specialty dental treatments is an excellent approach to meet the requirements of both cosmetic dentistry and general dentistry in order to reach the highest level of gum and oral health possible.
