- Do You Have a Chip or Crack in Your Tooth That is Affecting Your Ability to Eat?
- Have You Noticed Changes to Your Smile?
- Do You Have a Gap in Your Teeth That is Affecting Your Speech?
- Have You Taken Poor Care of Your Teeth?
- Are You Making Decisions in Your Life Based on Your Smile?
Having even a minor crack or chew can change the way you chew and the way your jaw works. Whether you are dealing with minor discomfort or you want to prevent further damage, you might be chewing straggly around the crack. This can interfere with your life by causing soreness and discomfort. Restoring the tooth gets rid of these issues and helps prevent the crack from getting worse.
If you have noticed that your teeth are no longer aligned as they once were, your teeth are stained, or you otherwise have changes to your smile that you don’t like, then it might be a good idea to consider cosmetic dentistry. The unfortunate truth is that many people with negative changes to their smile will stop smiling, and that’s a shame.
Small gaps can be cute, but if you have a larger gap between your teeth, it can cause serious speech issues. If you feel embarrassed by a whistling effect, or you find it hard to annunciate due to your dental gap, then it might be time to consider cosmetic dentistry.
The truth is that many people who do not love their smiles end up neglecting their teeth. It does not matter if you like your smile or not, it is essential for your overall health that you take care of your teeth and gums. If the only thing that can likely get you motivated to take care of your mouth is to improve the way it looks, then this can be well worth it.
Everyone has an inner critic, and it can be a powerful enemy. If you feel uncomfortable showing up for family photos because of your teeth, if you are afraid to interview for a new job because you are embarrassed by your smile, then it is likely time to consider cosmetic dentistry.
You might be surprised to find out some of the ways in which we can help improve your smile. Contact California Dental Group at (800) 407-0161 to learn more.
