Cavities

Cavities come from tooth decay and from damage to the tooth.

Exposed Nerve

An exposed nerve or tooth root can be caused by several conditions such as cracked or chipped teeth, cavities, trauma or overly aggressive brushing.

Broken or Chipped Tooth

Despite your teeth being one of the most durable structures in the body, chipped and broken teeth are a very common condition cared for at our clinic.

Sensitive Teeth & Gums

Sensitive teeth are an extremely common problem your Springfield dentist regularly encounters.

Bleeding Gums

In most cases gums that bleed, are sore or swollen are a sign of gum disease, but there are other reasons this occurs.

Cracked Teeth

Although the enamel is one of the strongest substances in the human body, cracked teeth are one of the most common emergency dental situations your Springfield dentist encounters.

Chronic Dry Mouth

When a person does not produce enough saliva regularly this condition is referred to as chronic dry mouth. Luckily, your Springfield dentist can over many solutions for this condition.

Impacted Teeth

Wisdom teeth are often impacted and usually begin to erupt between the ages of 17 and 21. Your Springfield dentist refers to these teeth as third molars. They tend to become impacted because there is not enough room in the mouth for them.

Oropharyngeal Cancer

Oropharyngeal cancer is a disease in which malignant cells form within the oropharynx. This is the term for the middle part of the throat which includes the base of the tongue, the tonsils, the soft palate and the walls of the pharynx.
