Common Dental Issues

Gum Disease
Gum disease, sometimes called periodontal disease, can cause your gums to bleed or become infected, swollen or tender.

Gum disease is the #1 cause of adult tooth loss in the United States and can also lead to serious illness.
Prevention starts with daily brushing, flossing and regular cleanings at the dentist’s office.
At the root of gum disease is infection caused by bacteria. Like many infections, gum disease can be treated with an antibiotic like ARESTIN™
Come see us soon— The longer you wait, the worse it can get. Learn more by watching this patient education video on Gum Disease, or medically known as Periodontal Disease.

TMJ
Many people are affected by TMJ. TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint. It is the joint that connects the lower jaw to the bone on each side of the head. The joint is stabilized by muscles that make it possible to open and close the mouth. Severe pain, discomfort or tenderness in or around these joints is referred to as a TMJ disorder. Common symptoms include:

tenderness or pain in the face, jaw and ear
chewing difficulty or discomfort
headaches
painful clicking of the jaw
difficulty opening or closing the mouth
locking jaw or teeth that don’t come together properly while biting or chewing

If you think you may have a TMJ disorder, schedule an appointment with Dr. DiPalma who will be able to recommend appropriate treatment.

Tooth Sensitivity
Tooth sensitivity is very common. It’s frequently caused by hot, cold and sweets. Some people notice sensitivity from brushing or flossing. Fortunately, it is easily treated with fluoride treatments that can help strengthen the enamel and improve your sensitivity. Also, try using a toothpaste made especially for sensitive teeth. Schedule an appointment with us today to learn more about flouride treatment options.

Tooth Erosion
Tooth erosion is the wearing away of tooth enamel by acid. If erosion is left untreated, it can cause pain, infection and even tooth loss.

To protect against tooth erosion, brush and floss regularly, visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and check-ups, and avoid sugary foods. Also, try using a straw when drinking carbonated beverages or other sweet drinks, such as natural fruit juices, which are very acidic. Remember, DiPalma Dental holds monthly drawings for free dental cleanings for all our patients!

Smoking
Smoking has a negative impact on every facet of your health, and all forms of tobacco can cause dental problems. Smokers and tobacco users are at greater risk of developing oral cancer and gum disease. Tobacco products cause permanent stains which cannot be removed by brushing; and smoking can also cause a heavy build-up of tartar requiring more frequent cleanings.

At DiPalma Dental, we offer Nutrition Counseling and Smoking Cessation assistance.Please schedule an appointment today, and begin the road to a tobacco-free lifestyle!

After you’re greeted by our staff, we will take a series of FREE digital images or x-rays to aid in a comprehensive exam of your entire mouth. Dr. DiPalma will then discuss your dental and medical history and the reasons for your visit. At that point, we will begin creating a treatment plan to meet your goals that’s the best fit for you.

YES. As a private practice serving Fredonia & our neighbors for over 35 years, our objective is to deliver you the best dental treatments for affordable fees. We will work with you to find the payment plans that fits best with your budget — but never sacrificing the importance of your dental health. In addition, we accept many major insurance carriers, credit cards, and offer treatment plan financing through CareCredit

We are a perfect match for the those who avoid going to see the dentist because of anxiety. With Sedation Dentistry, we offer two different options for a calm and relaxed experience. Dr. DiPalma is specially trained to offer his patients either nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation (using medication), and can provide you with a relaxed dental visit …without needles! Together we can review which option would be best for you.
