needs of children make him the perfect dentist for your family. His

expert treatment of children's dental problems and his

Sealants — Dental sealants are an effective defense against tooth

decay for adults and children. The plastic resin of the sealant

bonds to the depressions and grooves in the back teeth,

preventing corrosive bacteria and food particles from settling there.

The sealant is quickly and easily applied to the surface of each

tooth and hardened with a laser. It provides several years of

protection and reinforces the effects of regular brushing and

flossing.

Fluoride treatments — The use of fluoride prevents tooth decay

by reducing the effect of acids and bacteria on tooth enamel.

Fluoride treatments come in liquid, tablet, and chewable tablet

form as supplements to a solid dental hygiene regimen. Talk to

Dr. Habbel about whether fluoride treatments would be beneficial

for reinforcing your family's oral hygiene.

Oral exams — Dr. Habbel performs diagnostic oral exams to

create your personalized treatment plan.

beautiful, you need a professional cleaning at least once every six

months. Contact our office to schedule your routine cleaning

healthy smile is education. Dr. Habbel and his staff strive to keep

you as empowered and informed as possible about your dental

health.

professional breath treatments, including periodontal procedures

and professional cleanings. Dr. Habbel can advise you about the

possible causes of halitosis and offer treatment options.

Sleep Apnea, Headaches, and Migraines

People affected by sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly in their sleep due to airway obstructions, a failure of the brain to prompt breathing, or a combination of both. As a result, their sleep is frequently interrupted and inadequate; over time, this can cause cardiovascular problems, memory and concentration lapses, weight gain, impotence, and headaches. Fortunately, there are many treatment options, including positional therapies, weight loss, and surgery. For many patients, placement of a specially designed oral appliance eliminates headaches, migraines, and other unpleasant side effects of sleep apnea. This removable appliance alters the shape of the mouth during sleep in a way that helps clear the nasal passageways, enabling steady breathing throughout the night. Contact Dr. Habbel's practice for more information about this highly effective oral appliance.

Teeth grinding, arthritis, and bite problems can affect the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) located on either side of the jaw, which control jaw movement. Any interference with the temporomandibular joint can cause a painful TMJ disorder characterized by headaches; ear, jaw, and neck pain; or clicking noises when the jaw is opened and closed. Dr. Habbel's treatment of TMJ problems offers significant relief for patients with any of these symptoms. Using stress reduction, relaxation techniques, and mouth protectors to prevent teeth grinding, Dr. Habbel reduces pressure on the temporomandibular joint, enabling it to heal while symptoms gradually fade and disappear.

The root canal procedure removes this tissue to preserve teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted. If you are in need of root canal therapy, Dr. Habbel is the dentist for you. While no one  looks forward to root canal reatment, Dr. Habbel's commitment to

In addition to affecting dental health, periodontal disease can harm a person's overall well-being.
