What We Treat

Cavities and Dental Decay

Cavities, also known as dental caries, occur when oral bacteria produce acids that break down the enamel. If left untreated, decay can spread deeper into the tooth, causing pain, infection, or even tooth loss. We treat cavities with: tooth-colored fillings, fluoride treatments, and early detection techniques to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible.

Cracked and Chipped Teeth

Damage from accidents, teeth grinding, or biting hard foods can leave teeth cracked or chipped. These issues not only affect appearance but may also expose sensitive areas and risk further breakage. We restore damaged teeth using: dental bonding, tooth-colored fillings, veneers, or crowns based on the extent of the damage.

Toothaches and Sensitive Teeth

Tooth pain can result from deep decay, nerve inflammation, gum recession, or enamel erosion. Sensitive teeth often react to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks. We relieve discomfort by: identifying the underlying cause through exams and X-rays, followed by desensitizing treatments, fillings, root canals, or protective restorations.

Children With Special Needs

Children with special needs may require extra time, care, and understanding during dental visits to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. Their unique medical, behavioral, or sensory needs can make oral care more challenging, increasing the risk of dental issues if not managed properly. At TeethBuddies Pediatric Dentistry, our team provides gentle, individualized care tailored to each child’s abilities and comfort level.

Bad Breath

Persistent bad breath may indicate gum disease, dry mouth, poor hygiene, or other underlying health issues. It can impact self-esteem and oral health. We treat halitosis by: addressing its root cause through cleanings, periodontal care, dry mouth management, and personalized hygiene guidance.

Gum Disease

Gum disease develops when plaque leads to inflammation and infection of the gums. Without treatment, it can damage tissue and bone, eventually leading to tooth loss. We treat gum diseases like Bleeding Gums, Periodontitis and Gum Recession.

Tongue and Lip Ties

Tongue and lip ties occur when the tissue that connects the tongue or lip to the mouth is too tight or thick, restricting normal movement. These conditions can affect infants, children, and even adults, and may interfere with feeding, speech development, oral hygiene, and overall oral function.

Clenching, Grinding, and Jaw Pain

Clenching and grinding can place excessive pressure on the teeth and jaw, leading to soreness, headaches, and difficulty opening or closing the mouth comfortably. These habits often occur during sleep or periods of stress and can gradually wear down tooth enamel or irritate jaw muscles. Over time, untreated clenching and grinding may contribute to jaw joint discomfort and long-term bite issues.
