We Treat Dental Concerns in Philadelphia, PA
Maintaining your oral health is just as important as your physical health. Unaddressed dental issues can quickly develop into other oral health problems. The condition of your teeth and gums impacts not only your daily life but also affects your overall well-being. For example, if you don’t treat a missing tooth, bacteria can collect in the tooth gap, or your other teeth can begin to shift to fill the gap. Shifting teeth can overcrowd your mouth and increase your risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Replacing missing teeth can give you a healthier bite and reduce your risk of infection.
Dr. Shulman wants to help you improve your oral health so you have a beautiful and functional smile for years. Learn more about the dental concerns we can address below.
Bleeding Gums
If your gums bleed when you brush or floss your teeth, you may have gingivitis or developing periodontitis. Get diagnosis and treatment for gum inflammation and gum disease early before oral health problems worsen. We offer comprehensive diagnosis and care for all stages of gum disease to restore your oral health. To learn more about our bleeding gums treatments, visit Bleeding gums.
Crooked Teeth
Having straighter teeth is a sign of a healthier mouth. Crooked teeth do not enable the teeth to make proper contact when chewing. Having crooked teeth can lead to tooth damage, teeth grinding, bite-related problems, and discomfort. Fortunately, dentists have many ways of straightening your teeth so that you have a more comfortable bite.
Dr. Shulman has many options he offers to straighten teeth. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Shulman to learn about Invisalign, dental veneers, and crowns to align your teeth. To learn how we can straighten your crooked teeth, visit Crooked teeth.
Missing Teeth
Missing teeth not only compromise the aesthetics of your smile but also your overall oral health. If you don’t fill the gaps that missing teeth leave behind, your remaining natural teeth can shift and cause crooked and loose teeth.
However, multiple durable restorative solutions look and feel like natural teeth. Dr. Shulman works with patients on an individual basis to replace missing teeth with the most suitable option. To learn about how Dr. Shulman can replace your lost teeth, visit Missing teeth.
Sleep Apnea
If you snore or wake up tired, you may be suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). OSA occurs when soft tissue that is collapsing into the back of the throat obstructs the upper airways. Dr. Shulman works with patients to identify the signs of a sleep disorder and obtain the proper medical diagnosis. To learn more about Dr. Shulman’s sleep apnea screening and home sleep study, visit Sleep apnea.
Teeth Grinding
Teeth clenching and grinding, also called bruxism, is a common problem that can cause jaw pain, headaches, worn-down teeth, and even damage to dental work. Many people don’t realize they grind their teeth until a dentist notices signs of wear.
At our office, Dr. Shulman can help by providing custom oral splints worn over your teeth to protect them from grinding. He may also perform bite equilibration to adjust how your teeth come together to reduce stress on your jaw. To learn how Dr. Shulman can help patients with TMJ, visit Teeth grinding.
Fear of the Dentist
We know that some patients can feel anxious about visiting the dentist. Sometimes, a past dental experience that was uncomfortable or painful can make future visits stressful. Others may simply have a fear of pain or dental procedures.
At our office, Dr. Shulman offers sedation dentistry to help patients feel calm and relaxed during their appointments. Sedation options can range from mild relaxation to deeper sedation so you can comfortably get the dental care you need. To learn how we make your dental visits comfortable, visit Fear of the Dentist.
Headaches
Did you know that morning headaches can sometimes be linked to your dental health? One common cause is a TMJ disorder, which affects the joints that connect your jaw to your skull. Problems with these joints can lead to jaw pain, teeth grinding, and headaches in the morning.
Dr. Shulman can evaluate your bite and jaw alignment to determine if a TMJ disorder is causing your discomfort. To learn more about how Dr. Shulman can help with chronic and morning headaches, visit Headaches.
Discolored Teeth
Tooth stains are the most common cosmetic dental concerns. Stains can come from many sources, including coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, or certain medications. Dr. Shulman offers several treatments to help restore a bright, confident smile. Professional teeth whitening can remove surface stains and lighten your teeth several shades. For more severe discoloration or chipped teeth, veneers or bonding can improve the color and shape of your teeth. To learn how we can brighten your teeth, visit Discolored Teeth.
