General Dentistry for Families in Charlotte, NC
At Schramm Dentistry in Charlotte, NC, we offer you and your family general dentistry options that will improve oral health and beautify smiles.
Preventive Dentistry
Seeing Dr. Schramm at least once every six months is vital to maintaining optimal dental health. At your bi-annual general dentistry appointment, we check for cavities and gum disease, and our experienced dental hygienists clean your teeth. To ensure that your dentition remains problem-free, Dr. Schramm recommends keeping a daily oral hygiene routine.
Gum Disease
Gum disease isn’t a condition you should ignore because “it’s not serious.” In fact, gum disease is very serious. It’s the leading cause of tooth loss among American adults. Severe gum disease can lead to the bacterial toxins entering your bloodstream and contributing to heart attack or stroke. If your gums are bleeding, swollen, or discolored, call Dr. Schramm and make an appointment for periodontal therapy.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJD)
Did you know that general dentistry includes diagnosing and treating temporomandibular joint disorders? If you suffer stiffness or pain in the jaw muscles, you may have a TMJD. And if your teeth are getting worn or cracked without obvious cause, you could be dealing with bruxism, or teeth grinding. The good news is that Dr. Schramm can create custom appliances to help you correct these TMJ problems and give you relief.
