Wondering if that cracked tooth will heal naturally? Unlike other parts of your body, tooth enamel can't repair itself. A cracked tooth requires professional attention to prevent complications like infection, decay, or tooth loss. The severity of the crack determines the treatment needed - from bonding to crowns or even root canals in serious cases.

Don't ignore warning signs like pain when chewing, sensitivity to hot and cold, or intermittent tooth pain. Early intervention is crucial to save your tooth and prevent more extensive damage. Delaying treatment can lead to bacteria entering the crack, causing infection that may spread to surrounding tissues and require more complex procedures.

If you suspect a cracked tooth, schedule an appointment with Mikula DDS. Our experienced team will evaluate the damage and recommend the most appropriate treatment to restore your tooth's strength and function. Your dental health is our priority!

Maintaining proper oral hygiene with dental work requires special attention, especially when it comes to flossing bridges and crowns. While these restorations protect and enhance your smile, they need specific care to prevent decay and gum disease.

Traditional flossing methods may not be sufficient, but tools like floss threaders and super floss make the process easier and more effective. Remember to gently clean under and around bridges, being careful not to damage the restoration or irritate your gums. For crowns, focus on the gum line where bacteria tend to accumulate.

Regular flossing helps prevent plaque buildup and protects your investment in your dental work. Not sure if you're using the right technique?

Schedule a consultation with Mikula DDS, where our team can demonstrate proper flossing methods for your specific dental work. Your oral health is our priority, and we're here to help you maintain your beautiful smile.

Did you know your dental health could be connected to ear discomfort?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects your jaw to your skull, plays a crucial role in both dental health and ear comfort. When this joint experiences issues, it can lead to various symptoms including ear pain, ringing in the ears, and even hearing difficulties. The close proximity of your jaw joint to your ear canal means that problems in one area can directly impact the other.

If you're experiencing unexplained ear pain or hearing issues alongside jaw discomfort, teeth grinding, or difficulty chewing, it's time to schedule a consultation with Mikula DDS. Our experienced team can evaluate your symptoms and determine if TMJ disorder might be the underlying cause.

Don't let dental-related ear problems affect your quality of life.
