Conditions Treated

The conditions associated with poor oral hygiene can range from cavities to gum disease to advanced periodontitis.

Treatment

Bone Loss in Jaw

Many patients experience bone loss in their jaw due to periodontal disease or missing teeth. You may not notice jawbone atrophy immediately because it occurs gradually. Visit Access Oral Surgery to evaluate tissue loss in your jaw.

Cavities

Many people suffer from dental cavities, which often go unnoticed until serious damage has been done. A cavity is a small hole in your tooth caused by tooth decay. Untreated, they can cause pain, infection, or sensitivity.

Chipped Teeth

Having a chipped tooth can be frustrating because it affects your appearance, smile, and self-confidence. Even the smallest crack or chip on your tooth’s enamel can make it difficult for you to smile or laugh.

Crooked Teeth

Having crooked teeth can have a negative effect on your health and appearance. Most patients are self-conscious about their misaligned teeth, but they are reluctant to commit to a lengthy, involved braces treatment.

Bad Breath

Having bad breath can be extremely embarrassing. It is also possible for bad breath to indicate a serious oral health issue if it persists. If you suffer from bad breath, contact your dentist before reaching for chewing gum or mints.

Bleeding Gums

Swollen and bleeding gums can be very unattractive and uncomfortable. These symptoms can also indicate periodontal disease, negatively impacting oral health. As a result, your general health may also be affected.

Gingivitis

The symptoms of gingivitis include bleeding gums, inflammation, and bad breath. With timely treatment from your dentist or oral surgeon, gingivitis can be easily reversed. The development of gingivitis is associated with certain risk factors.

Gummy Smile

An unbalanced smile may result from excessive gum tissue, making your teeth appear shorter than they actually are. Gum contouring is an effective treatment available for treating gummy smiles that many patients are unaware of.

Loose Tooth

It is common for your children to lose their teeth, but losing a tooth as an adult typically indicates a health issue. Adult teeth may become loose when gums and other supporting structures fail to support them. The treatment depends on the cause and length of the instability.

Dry Mouth

Having a dry mouth is uncomfortable. A dry mouth can cause bad breath and make chewing and swallowing difficult. Your health may also be adversely affected by a dry mouth since saliva assists digestion and keeps your teeth clean.

Gap Teeth

Gaps between your front teeth can make you feel self-conscious. You might even go so far as to avoid smiling or laughing altogether. Filling in the gap between your teeth can help you feel more confident about the way you smile.

Missing Teeth

Having missing teeth can make speaking and chewing more difficult. You may also feel self-conscious if you have missing teeth. A number of methods are available for replacing missing teeth. If you neglect to address tooth loss, you may be putting your oral and overall health at risk.

Overbite

An overbite is characterized by your top teeth overlapping your bottom teeth. Sufferers often feel self-conscious about their appearance as a result of the condition. Oral health may also be affected by a severe overbite. There are treatment options available for this condition.

Sensitive Teeth

Consuming foods and drinks like ice cream and hot beverages can be difficult if you have sensitive teeth. Tooth sensitivity can be effectively treated with a variety of effective treatments. Your dentist at Access Oral Surgery can find a solution based on the cause of your sensitivity.

Sleep Apnea

Over 22 million Americans battle sleeping disorders, causing snoring, restlessness, fatigue, and other health problems. Having sleep apnea can have a serious impact on your life on a variety of levels. Heart attacks, strokes, and premature death have been linked to sleep apnea.

Stained Teeth

You may feel uncomfortable smiling if you have dental stains, although they do not affect your oral health. Access Oral Surgery offers several treatments to brighten your smile depending on the type of stain you have on your teeth.

Teeth Grinding

Bruxism is a condition that can affect both children and adults. The condition called bruxism, sometimes referred to as teeth grinding or clenching, occurs involuntarily and is often brought on by stress or misaligned teeth. It can damage your tooth enamel if left untreated.

Tooth Pain

A toothache can arise for a variety of reasons and cause different symptoms. Some patients experience sharp, stabbing pain and swelling near the affected tooth, and others may suffer from infection, which can cause more serious problems.

Underbite

An underbite is the result of the lower teeth overlapping the upper teeth. It can be difficult to chew and speak if you have an underbite. A misaligned jaw may cause an underbite, which can be corrected with a variety of treatments.
