If your jaw clicks, pops, or feels sore, the cause is likely more than simple stress. TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) affects how your jaw functions and can lead to daily discomfort. Some people feel it mostly in the jaw. Others notice frequent headaches, earaches, or even neck and shoulder tension without realizing the connection.
Precision Biofilm Removal is one of the most advanced and comfortable ways to protect your smile from gum disease. This modern technique goes beyond traditional cleanings by gently removing harmful bacteria that brushing and flossing can’t reach. If you want to stay ahead of gum disease, cavities, and other common issues, here’s how this powerful treatment works.
You probably don’t think much about how your child breathes or swallows, but these small, everyday actions have a big impact. They influence how the face develops, how teeth come in, and how your child sleeps, speaks, and feels.
You already know that straight teeth look great. But many patients don’t realize that alignment also plays a significant role in overall dental health. If your teeth are crowded or your bite feels off, it’s not just a cosmetic concern—it can make brushing and flossing harder, contribute to uneven wear, and even lead to jaw pain or headaches. At McMillan Family Dental in Meridian, ID, we offer Invisalign® clear aligners to help you improve the appearance and health of your smile, all with a treatment that fits easily into your daily life.
It’s easy to put off replacing a missing tooth—especially if it’s not front and center. But even a small gap can have an impact on your smile and oral health. You might start chewing differently, notice some shifting, or feel less confident when smiling for photos. The good news is that it doesn’t have to stay that way. If you’ve been living with a space in your smile, we’re here to help.
