DENTAL CONCERNS

Bleeding gums is often an indication of developing gum disease and should be addressed by one of our dentists. Healthy gums should not bleed when brushing or flossing, although there are certain situations that can increase the sensitivity of the gums such as pregnancy. Discussing your concerns and lifestyle or medical factors is important for maintaining the health of your gums.

Chipped, cracked and damaged teeth will affect both the appearance and stability of your smile. Left untreated, minor damage can increase your risk for decay and even tooth loss over time. We can restore tooth structure after damage with a range of options from tooth bonding to porcelain veneers and crowns.

One or more missing teeth can affect your ability to eat comfortably, smile with confidence, and enjoy a comfortable bite. Replacing missing teeth promptly can reduce the risk of developing more complex problems and changes in the fit or function of the bite. Dr. Kanning offers dental implants, dental bridges, and all types of dentures for replacing lost teeth and stabilizing your oral health.

If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea or been told by a loved one that you snore while sleeping, Dr. Kanning can work with you to evaluate your needs and provide appropriate treatment. Oral appliance therapy can improve natural breathing, reduce or eliminate snoring and improve overall health and well-being. Visit our sleep disorders website to learn more and schedule a visit for further evaluation. Treatment for sleep apnea can be life-saving due to the health risks associated with prolonged symptoms.
