Cheryl’s Story
(A true story as told by Dr. Werkmeister)
Cheryl had been frustrated in recent years over her deteriorating dental condition. She came to dread her regular dental visits because she found herself always having a tooth that needed to be fixed. Things came to a head one day when she fractured a tooth. She was told that the fractured tooth was not restorable and would need to be extracted. She came into to my office with questions over how she should go about replacing the tooth.
I told her that first we should take a step back and understand why the tooth fractured in the first place. During my examination, I learned that while her periodontal problems were minor, she had significant wear on her teeth due to grinding her teeth. Before replacement of the tooth could be considered, a comprehensive treatment plan was made in conjunction with her general dentist that addressed the underlying cause of her dental problems. The measures taken in her comprehensive dental treatment have resulted in a much improved and stable dental condition.
If you find yourself in a similar circumstance, frustrated over continued dental problems despite your best efforts, find out how comprehensive dentistry may be the answer that you have been looking for.
