Your Headache May Be Coming from Your Jaw
Chronic, unexplained pain can be incredibly frustrating and demoralizing.

Dental Checkups: More Than Just a Cavity Hunt

You need healthy root canals to ensure healthy, stable teeth. If your root canals become infected by bacteria, you’ll need to seek treatment, in the form of root canal therapy, to relieve the issue. Root canal therapy doesn’t just repair your tooth’s roots, it also prevents further problems from developing. (more…)
Dental Crowns Versus Dental Fillings
