Do you have a tooth cavity? Are bleeding gums making your day-to-day uncomfortable? Dr. Haim Fedida offers treatments for common dental concerns in his East Elmhurst, NY, dental office. He’ll work with you to treat your dental problems with dental care customized to your needs and goals.
Dental Concerns at Fedida Family Dentistry
Dr. Fedida and his team treat a variety of dental problems, from tooth stains to cavities. If you have a dental problem that you’ve avoided treating or a sudden issue, we welcome you to contact our office. Even though these dental concerns are common, they can damage your oral health.
Halitosis
Also known as bad breath, you can develop halitosis if you eat stinky foods or don’t brush or floss enough. Bad breath can also be a sign of a dental abscess or infection. We offer gum disease treatment and professional cleanings to remove leftover food from the mouth and reduce the harmful bacteria that cause bad breath. If you have a dental abscess, we can drain it to reduce the risk of it bursting.
Bleeding Gums
Your gums can bleed from dental trauma, but the most common cause of your gums bleeding when you brush and floss is gum disease. Dr. Fedida offers laser gum therapy for patients with bleeding gums that won’t go away. Our office can also provide thorough dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar that build on the gum tissue. Harmful bacteria irritate the gum tissue and increase sensitivity.
Crooked Teeth
You can straighten crooked teeth in our East Elmhurst office with Invisalign. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to gently move your teeth into better positions over time. The aligners are custom-made to fit your smile and are comfortable to wear. Because they are clear, most people will not notice them. Invisalign makes it easier to improve your smile while eating, brushing, and flossing as usual.
Discolored Teeth
Teeth can become stained over time from eating and drinking certain foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, soda, and red wine. Teeth may also darken due to fluorosis, tooth injuries, tobacco use, or natural aging. Some stains develop on the surface of the teeth, while others sink deeper into the enamel. Our dental office offers treatments like teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding to help improve the color of your teeth.
TMJ Headaches
You can develop headaches if you have TMJ. The TMJ connects your jaw to your skull, and when it becomes irritated or strained, it can cause pain that spreads to your head, neck, and shoulders. Many patients with TMJ issues experience tension headaches or migraines in the morning or after chewing.
We offer custom night guards to help relieve TMJ-related headaches. Night guards reduce pressure on the jaw joint and help prevent teeth grinding and clenching while you sleep. By protecting your jaw and teeth, night guards help you wake up with fewer headaches.
Dental Anxiety
If you feel nervous about visiting the dentist, you’re not alone. Dr. Fedida and our office staff understand that many people are afraid of the dentist from a previous bad experience, a fear of pain, or a fear of loud noises.
We make sure you feel comfortable whenever you visit us. Our office also offers sedation for more complex procedures, so you don’t feel any discomfort.
Missing Teeth
Losing a permanent tooth due to an accident, tooth decay, or gum disease can affect more than just your smile. Missing teeth can make it harder to chew, speak clearly, and feel confident. They can also cause nearby teeth to shift out of place over time. Our dental office offers several options to replace missing teeth, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures. These treatments help restore function, improve appearance, and support your long-term oral health.
Tooth Cavity
A tooth cavity is a small hole that forms in the tooth when decay damages the enamel. Cavities are often caused by plaque buildup, sugary foods, and poor oral hygiene. If caught early, a common treatment for a cavity is a dental filling, which restores the tooth and prevents further damage. If the decay is severe and the tooth cannot be saved, we may recommend a tooth extraction to protect your oral health.
Bruxism
Also known as teeth clenching and grinding, bruxism is a common TMJ symptom. You can grind your teeth unconsciously during the day or when you’re asleep. This pressure on your teeth and jaw can create problems like morning headaches and tooth pain. Dr. Fedida offers night guards to relieve facial tension and protect your teeth from bruxism.
