A TMJ disorder (commonly referred to as just "TMJ") is a condition that impacts the muscles and soft tissues surrounding the jaw joints, the cartilage within the joint, or the function of the joint itself. . . The exact cause of TMJ disorders remains unknown. However, stress, teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism), jaw injuries, an uneven bite, sleep apnea, and a range of other factors may increase the risk of this condition in patients of all ages

We hope you have a wonderful & safe holiday with your loved ones . . We will return to the office January 4th - see you then!

FABULOUS Care! - by Claudia J. I am happily writing this review about my first meeting with the Dougherty Dental team... My previous dentist retired and I was in that in-between stage - Should I switch offices??? I have heard GREAT things about the Dougherty Dental team, so I reached out. From the moment I called them, to my actual first appointment everything was professional and everyone was so kind. I appreciate the time and care of each staff member, and dental hygienist. Dr. Dougherty was thorough, kind, and extremely professional. I appreciate his expertise too. Their office is safe, clean, and up to date. I look forward to all of my next dental appointments. I am GRATEFUL to have a new dentist! I HIGHLY recommend the Dougherty Dental team! See more of our patient reviews here: https://rwl.io/36ykjy5

Q: SHOULD I GET VENEERS? A: Veneers can be used to hide stains and chips on your teeth, fix teeth that are unevenly spaced or shaped, and improve misaligned or worn down teeth. At Dougherty Dental, your porcelain veneers will be custom made to fit comfortably over your teeth for an attractive and natural look. . . During your initial consultation, Dr. Dougherty will analyze the total health of your mouth and listen to your objectives to determine if you are a good candidate for cosmetic veneers. If you suffer from gum disease or habitually clench your jaw and grind your teeth (bruxism), another cosmetic dental treatment might be better suited for your needs

Tip of the day: Always rinse your toothbrush with water after brushing and store your toothbrush in an upright position to allow it to air-dry until using it again.

Gum (periodontal) disease is an inflammation in the gums, which may severely damage your oral health. There are three stages of gum disease ranging from mild to severe. . . The first phase is gingivitis, which is brought on by a buildup of plaque in the gum pockets. Without treatment, gingivitis can progress to the second stage, periodontitis, which affects the fibers and bone that support the roots of your teeth. .... . Advanced periodontitis is the name of the most serious stage of periodontal disease, which can cause teeth to loosen or fall out. See more

Veggies are an important part of any balanced diet, and they are also good for your teeth. Since they are high in water and fiber, they help to balance the sugars they contain and help to clean your teeth. Chewing also helps to stimulate saliva production, which washes harmful acids and food particles away from your teeth! - American Dental Association

We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow with family and friends!

What makes you smile this big? Is it a book or maybe a walk outside?!

Tip of the Day: Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste! Why fluoride? Fluoride toothpaste will help strengthen your teeth, prevent cavities and can prevent early tooth decay

Pregnancy and teeth? YES! We are all aware that eating a well-balanced diet is important for the development of your baby, but did you know that also includes the development of their teeth? Teeth begin to develop between the third and sixth month of pregnancy!

The ADA recommends cleaning between teeth with floss (or another interdental cleaner) once a day. Some people prefer to floss in the evening before bedtime so that the mouth is clean while sleeping. Others prefer to floss after their midday meal

Professional and Thorough - by Helen D. My hygienist, Ashley Barry attended to me this week. Of course, she was very professional and thorough, but most of all, I felt that she identified some incipient problems with my teeth. I am confident that this can be dealt with before further problems occur, and I am grateful for Ashley's expertise. See more of our patient reviews here: https://rwl.io/36xgcD1

-5 Star Review- I chipped a couple of front teeth over this past weekend. I called Dougherty Dental Monday morning and they were able to fit me in at the end of the day as an emergency. This is Tuesday morning and my front teeth actually look better than ever. I can't thank them enough for fitting me in so quickly and doing such a great job on the teeth!
