Oh, no! My crown fell off and I'm out of town! What do I do now? Reach for the Polident. Denture adhesive can be an easy fix for a filling or crown that falls out.
Of course, this is a temporary fix and you should call your dentist to have your crown permanently cemented as soon as possible. If one of your crowns is loose, take care not to swallow it!

Out of Pocket Expense for Dental Work
I recently heard a story about a man who came home from his dentist . He needed a root canal and crown. He told his wife what his out of pocket expense was expected to be. She asked which pocket he wanted her to look in. If you find yourself wondering the same thing, we offer several options to help you fit your dental work into your budget.
If you see your dentist for routine cleanings and check ups, he can help you mangage your oral health to try to prevent costly damage from decay . Sometimes, he may recommend fillings to prevent further decay. These fillings are far less costly than the options to break or replace broken teeth.
We never want financial worries to prevent you from taking care of your oral health. Please call our office (770) 993-9809 to discuss treatment and payment options.

Do You Grind Your Teeth?
"Keep a stiff upper lip" or "get a grip!" That's often the advice we get-and give-on how to cope with stress. If you take it literally, the result could be grinding your teeth or clenching your jaws. It's called bruxism, and often it happens as we sleep, caused not just by stress and anxiety but by sleep disorders, an abnormal bite or teeth that are missing or crooked.
What Is Bruxism? Bruxism is the official name for teeth grinding. Symptoms include a dull headache or a sore jaw.
You could have teeth that are painful or loose from severe grinding. This can lead to fractures in your teeth.
Your dentist can fit you with a mouth guard to protect your teeth during sleep.
If stress is the cause you need to find a way to relax! Physical therapy, muscle relaxants, counseling and even exercise may help reduce tension.
Don't make your teeth the brunt of your stress.
