Bite Disease
Most of us have some form of bite disease and don't realize it. Mainly, it it is caused by teeth crowding as we age, yet other factors such as clenching and cracked teeth/filings are responsible as well.IT IS AS DESTRUCTIVE, IF NOT MORE, THAN CAVITIES AND GUM DISEASE COMBINED!
Likewise, it doesn't hurt, but is slow and constant, taking your precious enamel away, making teeth short, dark and brittle, and leads to TMJ.
As part of your care, we evaluate your Bite Disease. This level of care is unlike Dentistry of the past.
