This advanced dental tool allows us to precisely assess your dental health while detecting damaged teeth and periodontal disease. We can show you the photos as well as sharing with other dental specialists as needed.

— If you have been diagnosed with TMJ, you will want to halt the damage by avoiding certain behaviors. This could include biting your nails, chewing gum constantly, and eating hard foods that can stress the jaw joints. 

— If your TMJ disorder results in pain or swelling, there is help for you. Treatment might include using heat packs for pain or using ice packs to reduce swelling. 

— You can practice certain forms of yoga, or even biofeedback, to help you with any stress and anxiety which might be the cause of your TMJ disorder.

— If your TMJ is painful to your jaw, you might be suffering from the effects of bruxism. This sleep grinding behavior occurs while you sleep as you grind or clench your teeth due to stress. This will in time worsen your TMJ disorder. 

Dr. Taylor Goggins and our team at Denver Restorative Dentistry have a variety of treatment options to help reduce your TMJ, including the use of an oral appliance to protect your jaw while you sleep.

If you have an impacted tooth, you could have to cope with a number of serious problems. For instance, an impacted tooth may push against your other teeth, shifting their position. If your impacted tooth is a wisdom tooth, it could undo dental work you’ve had or could make new dental work a necessity. However, an impacted tooth—which is most commonly a wisdom tooth—can be completely painless, and you may not realize you have an issue.

If you have an impacted tooth, your gums could also swell or become infected. This may be painful and could cause infections in your other teeth. An impacted tooth could also lead to infections in your jaw and ear as well. You may be able to recognize an impacted tooth if you have a constant bad taste in your mouth, bad breath, or pain when you bite or chew.

Typically, our team can address this issue simply by removing the tooth. If you’re interested in learning more about impacted teeth, please don’t hesitate to contact Denver Restorative Dentistry at 303-586-1019. Dr. Goggins, Dr. Esguerra and the rest of our team are always happy to answer any questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
