If It Ain’t Broke…
If It Ain’t Broke…
Hi there, I’m Dr. Jason Mounts. You’ve probably heard the old saying, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Well, for a lot of things, that’s a fine idea, but for your teeth, it’s really not great. And here’s why.
Just the other day, I had a patient come in that had broken a tooth. And he had broken it a little while back, and it didn’t hurt, so he didn’t do anything about it.
But the problem was, is that it broke because of an underlying problem, and if that had gotten checked earlier, we could have fixed it a whole lot easier. Well, what ends up happening is, is that underlying problem grows, then you end up with much bigger problems than just a broken tooth.
In fact, if the problem grows big enough, you can even end up losing the tooth and end up having to get a bridge or an implant to replace it. So, if you’ve ever had a broken tooth, or if you’ve got one now, and it’s not bothering you, but you’ve never gotten it checked out, you may wanna get that done because there may be something going on under the surface that you’re not aware of, that’s not really giving any problems, but it’s there and needs to be addressed. So, if you’ve got something like that going on, or you just need to get your teeth checked, give us a call. Our number’s 501-753-0166. We’ll be glad to get you in, check your teeth out, see if we can’t get you fixed up before a bigger problem comes up.
