Common Dental Concerns
There are multiple different dental concerns that we treat in our office.
Bleeding Gums
Do your gums bleed when you brush or floss your teeth? Constant sore or bleeding gums can be a sign of gingivitis or gum inflammation, an early stage of gum disease known as periodontitis. We can easily determine your gum disease and recommend the appropriate treatment. Schedule biannual appointments for routine dental cleanings so we can stop gingivitis early on.
Crooked Teeth
Crooked teeth can pose serious oral health problems if they are not corrected. Plague can easily build upon enamel and gums because it is difficult to clean between misaligned teeth. Patients with crooked or misaligned teeth are often more prone to tooth decay and gum disease. However, we offer Invisalign clear aligners to straighten crooked teeth for a healthier, more balanced smile. Patients with minor crooked teeth may want to consider tooth bonding or dental veneers, which enhance the appearance of their smiles.
Dental Anxiety
If you or your child have dental fear or anxiety, please let us know. Our friendly and compassionate dental team can provide sedation options during routine appointments or dental procedures.
We aim to provide dental care that is as comfortable as possible, so we explain every step of the treatment process to assuage any fear or anxiety you may have.
Halitosis Treatment
Do you have chronic bad breath? Halitosis, or bad breath, is often caused by smoking or tobacco use, poor oral hygiene, dry mouth, or certain medications or health conditions. For fresher breath, remember to brush and floss twice a day. You can even use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria from the tongue. Regularly clean your mouthguard, dentures, or dental bridge if you have one for fresher breath.
Missing Teeth
At Baltimore Dental Co., we offer replacement options for missing teeth, including dental bridges, dentures, and dental implants. Missing teeth can affect not only the aesthetics of your smile but also your overall oral health. If gaps left by missing teeth are not filled, the remaining natural teeth could shift and become crooked and overcrowded. However, Dr. Romay and Dr. Cross works with patients individually to replace missing teeth with options that work best for their oral health needs.
Teeth Grinding
Bruxism is a condition where you grind your teeth typically while sleeping at night. Most people do not even know they suffer from teeth grinding until they add up their symptoms or their dentist points out their worn down teeth. Dr. Romay offers several treatments to help patients prevent teeth grinding and protect their teeth.
