Worried About Knocking Out a Tooth?
You play to win, and that means playing hard, which increases your risk of accidentally damaging a tooth. In fact, within the United States an estimated 5 million teeth are knocked out or damaged every year. Wearing a mouthguard can help, but the one-size-fits-all guards found in stores are a sloppy fit, offer very little protection, and can make proper breathing during an active performance difficult. On the other hand, custom-made sports mouthguards fit well, protect well, and can be worn for any sport. As an added bonus, a custom guard will properly align your jaw and improve your breathing capacity during training. We offer custom mouthguards by PlaySafe™ and recommend them for a multitude of sports from acrobatics to football - from martial arts to wrestling.

TMJ/TMD - Proper Bite Alignment Treatment Helps You Say 'Goodbye' to Headaches and Jaw Pains!
Frequent headaches, aching or popping jaws, and neck and shoulder pain can all be signs you're suffering from a TMJ disorder. When your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is out of alignment, your whole body can be affected. Worn or missing teeth, dental disease, or a variety of other factors can cause your jaw to be unable to settle into its appropriate relaxed position. This shifting of your jaw alters your "bite" (dental occlusion) and a host of other problems can result. Often, this can be treated with a dental appliance (night guard), which we design just for you. Sometimes, a highly technical procedure known as full mouth rehabilitation is necessary, which can help you restore your dental occlusion and return your jaw to the position nature intended. Stop living with the pain and discomfort. Let us help you discover the benefits this treatment can bring to your quality of life.

The Importance of Hygiene Visits
It's not always possible to brush your teeth after every meal. Nor does even meticulous brushing remove every bit of sticky plaque. Eventually, plaque missed by your toothbrush and floss will harden into tartar, which is, perhaps, the most important reason to schedule a regular professional cleaning with our hygienist. Tartar deposits not only form on the surface of teeth, they also accumulate below the gumline. If not removed, tartar buildup can lead to gum disease, which in turn can contribute to serious conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Having an extra set of eyes and hands inspecting and cleaning your mouth is one of the best things you can do for your overall health.

The Primary Cause of Lost Teeth
Many people assume that decay is the cause of most tooth loss. But gum disease is the main culprit, and it can go completely unrecognized right up until you lose your teeth. Symptoms include loose or shifting teeth or bleeding gums when you brush or floss. If you've been told you need gum surgery, you will be glad to know it's possible to control gum disease with a variety of non-surgical methods.

Dental Care in a Relaxing Environment
You shouldn't dread going to the dentist. If you or a loved one suffers from dental anxiety, we can help. Dr. Dernick strives for and succeeds at delivering painless anesthesia, but some people still break into a cold sweat at the thought of a needle.
Therefore, at Smiles of Memorial, we offer oral sedation that helps you relax. We provide a pill to you to be taken one hour before your visit. Soon, you reach a level of sedation that allows you to respond to questions but mostly sleep through your entire visit. This is ideal for people suffering from dental anxiety or those who have a busy schedule and want to get all their treatment done in one visit.
