Teeth are strong. They bite through hard taffy and apples, carrots and well-done steak. They've often doubled as scissors, slicers, can openers, and every other tool known to man. But unfortunately, they are not in fact a universal tool. They are not quite that strong. And if you chose to push the limits (or just have an accident) you'll find out the painful way that teeth are not invincible.
Then there was organized sports. Junior Jazz games never ended without at least one injury: a basketball to the face, a jammed finger, an elbow in the eye, or some floor burns. But did that stop us from playing? No way. The same went for local soccer leagues, swim and diving classes, volleyball, and so on. Getting hurt is part of being a kid.
It had just started and Tame thought it would ease his pains but as the movie went on he began to realize that it was going to do just the opposite. He watched as Tom Hank's character took an ice skate to his tooth and was about to take the tooth out with it.
Tame cringed but felt a lot of empathy at that moment. No one truly understands unless they have felt that pain, then they would do the same thing, he thought to himself.
Baby teeth help guide adult teeth into proper positions. They also contribute to the health of gums. Older kids will also have adult teeth that especially need to be protected. In sports like football, basketball, and even soccer can lead to serious teeth damage. It could be a high-flying ball, a kick in the mouth, a collision with another player, or falling face-first on the ground. Ouch.
There are several ways teeth can be fixed. Sometimes all it takes is a small filling or bonding to "fill in the gap" and reinforce the surface of the teeth. For more cosmetic reasons, you might get a dental veneer - which acts kind of like a fake fingernail, except for your teeth. And much more durable.
This was no ordinary tooth problem. Tame had temporomandibular joint disorder which is a serious condition. It is basically an infection that produces pain in the molar teeth. This condition is wrongly self-diagnosed many times by patient, as the dentist explained to Tame. The dentist was good enough to refer Tame to a specialist and told him the next time that he feels pain that he should be much more careful and understanding of his bodies cautionary systems that are put in place.
So don't delay! If you damaged a tooth, even a little - go see your cosmetic dentist in Sandy, UT today!
