Even the most careful player can be injured in a high-impact sport like football, hockey, wrestling, or lacrosse, resulting in painful, expensive dental injuries.
We have seen broken teeth, lacerated lips, and broken jaws from the field.
If you should be wearing a helmet, you should be wearing a mouth guard.
Other high-intensity sports with hard balls and/or player-to-player contact like basketball are also important times to wear a mouth guard.
A custom-fitted mouth guard provides optimal protection to your teeth, evenly distributing any forces so that one tooth does not suffer the full impact.

A dental crown, sometimes referred to as a "cap, " is a tooth-shaped restoration that covers your tooth all the way around.
It restores the function and esthetics of your tooth while preventing further deterioration.
Crowns help fix broken and decayed teeth, providing 360 degree protection that regular fillings cannot achieve.
The surface of a crown can break, but it cannot decay.
The margin between the crown and the tooth can decay if plaque bacterial is allowed to build up near the gumline.
Crowns can be made of porcelain, metal, ceramic, or a combination of the three.

A dental filling is a treatment for tooth decay, or caries.
Dental caries is an infection caused by bacteria living in your mouth.
The bacteria feeds on sugars from your food, secreting acid that breaks down the hard structure of your tooth.
Unlike a cut on your finger, your teeth cannot heal by themselves, and your body cannot clear a tooth infection by itself.
Your dentist will carefully remove the decay, preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible, then bond and shape a special tooth-colored material called composite.

A dental implant is an effective and predictable way to replace a missing tooth.
A bio-compatible titanium-based implant piece is surgically placed into your upper or lower jaw bone.
A ceramic piece resembling a tooth will be attached to the implant.
Implant crowns are made of ceramic, metal, or a combination of the two.
There are 4 general options in replacing a single missing tooth: removable denture, fixed bridge, dental implant, or no treatment.
Your dentist will discuss the prognosis and feasibility of each option with you.

Peridontal treatment, called "scaling and root planing, " is also sometimes called a "deep cleaning."
It is a non-surgical therapy to address peridontal disease, which is bone loss caused by the chronic inflammation of your gums.
This procedure is the first step in addressing your peridontal disease.
The goal is to decrease the bacterial load in your mouth, establish reattachment of your gums to the roots of your teeth, halt the bone resorption process, and decrease the inflammation of your periodontal system.
