    Understanding Occlusal Disease: Causes and Treatments

    Dr. David - Bolton, MA Dentist - Occlusal_Disease TreatmentOcclusal disease is caused by an improper alignment between the teeth of the upper and lower dental arches, also called malocclusion. If left untreated, occlusal disease can damage your teeth, the supporting bones and gums around your teeth, temporomandibular joints, and the jaw muscles used for chewing. It is important to recognize when accelerated tooth wear goes beyond natural aging and use to cause pain and discomfort.

    Signs and Symptoms of Occlusal Disease
    • Enamel wear
    • Tooth cracking or breakage
    • Tooth sensitivity
    • Gum recession
    • Loss of bone support
    • Muscle pain
    • TMJ symptoms

    Our goal is to preserve the oral health of our patients, as well as to anticipate the long-term results of restorative treatment. Treating occlusal disease can lead to improved oral health and successful restoration.
