The importance of getting the bite right!

Thursday, August 23, 2007

It is tough enough getting one's dentistry done to begin with, but then I as your dentist want to fiddle around with having you tap on some paper over and over again. In between the proverbial tap tap tap, then a little grind here and a littler grind there. How annoying huh?

I can't begin to emphasize how important it is to get the bite just write!

Without the tedious steps of making sure the bite is correct all sorts of problems can be started. If the bite isn't right, you hit on that tooth before everyother tooth in your mouth. that will direct the full strenght of your muscles on that particular tooth...creating a nasty bruise in the tooth ligament and PAIN.

Please remember that after your numbing wears off if your bite isn't quite right, don't second guess yourself, call us at 394-9000 and we will correct the problem.
