Modern Endodontics Can Save Hopeless Teeth

Teeth with damaged or infected roots previously required extraction, which can cause a lot of problems and should be done as a last resort. Endodontists perform a variety of procedures including root canal therapy, surgery, treating cracked teeth, and treating dental trauma. When dental decay reaches the nerve of the tooth (or the tooth has become infected), a simple filling does not suffice. Endodontics can save the tooth by removing the pulp of a tooth and replacing it with a filling material. The pulp of a tooth contains nerves, arterioles, venules, lymphatic tissue, and fibrous tissue. If the pulp becomes diseased or injured, endodontic treatment is required to save the tooth.

The most common procedure, and quite often the most feared, is a root canal. Root canals of the past were quite painful and gained a reputation as something to be avoided. However, with today's modern anesthetics and technology, we can offer treatment that is often painless! You are in good hands with the professionals at Central Jersey Dental.

TMJ Treatment at Central Jersey Dental

TMJ or temporomandibular joint disorder is a condition that causes tenderness and pain in the area where your jaw connects to your skull. This is the joint that allows you to talk, chew, and yawn. Most TMJ disorders can be caused by a variety of factors. Muscle fatigue from clenching or grinding teeth is probably the most common cause. Severe TMJ can be treated with surgical or dental intervention, but most cases of TMJ can be cured through self-managed care.

Did you know that TMJ is sometimes the cause of frequent headaches, aching or popping jaws, shoulder pain, and neck pain? If your teeth have been ground down over the years or lost due to accident or dental disease, your jaw is not able to settle into a naturally relaxed position. This causes tension in the muscles in the jaw, and can lead to pain that you may have already grown accustomed to living with. One self-managed cure is using a custom-made dental orthotic, which is a non-invasive and removable appliance. It aids in returning the jaw to its naturally intended position. If you have been living with the pain and discomfort described above, we invite you to discover the benefits that this procedure may bring to your quality of life.
