If Your Jaw Pops Or Clicks, You Should Let Us Know!
Do you notice a popping or clicking sensation in your jaw? If so, this could be a warning sign of a common oral health issue known as TMJ disorder, or TMD.

Reinforcing Your Smile with a Tooth-Colored Filling
Tooth decay is one of the more common dental concerns that many hear about, and is certainly one that is kept in mind as a reason to stay on top of your preventive care at home coupled with attending routine examinations and cleanings. Another factor to take into consideration is your diet, as a variety of foods contain harmful acids or sugars that can cause oral bacteria to soften your tooth’s structure at a faster rate. Indeed, decay can range from minor instances such as a cavity to major ones that may result in tooth loss, which is why your Astoria, NY dentist at Jeffrey Leibowitz, DDS encourages you to be proactive about these concerns and reinforce your smile with a filling.
Ways that Your Smile Can be Mended with Bonding and Contouring
While a broken or chipped tooth is typically indicative of a dental emergency, sometimes cracks can occur without your knowledge until it becomes infected or causes discomfort, aching, or sensitivity. In many cases, the structure can be saved with restorative treatment if the concern is acted upon in an efficient manner. With the help of bonding and contouring, your Astoria, NY dentist at Jeffrey Leibowitz, DDS can help you save your natural tooth and restore its overall structure.
