In Dentistry, we call the way your teeth come together Dental Occlusion. You may refer to it as your “Bite”.  Many things can influence occlusion. If you have a tooth missing, the other teeth in your mouth will shift and alter your bite. Perhaps you have a tooth that is worn,from clenching or grinding. Maybe there is decay on the biting surface or between teeth that has caused your teeth to move. Perhaps you have periodontal disease, or have suffered a trauma to your face that is affecting your bite. And sometimes, it is just the luck of the draw, and you may genetically have poor occlusion.  Don’t despair.  If you are suffering from poor occlusion, let us help. There is so much we can do to help your teeth come together properly. Call us for an exam with Dr. Milewski today, and get started on making your Bite Right. You’ll be glad you did!

There is so much to do as the holidays begin to approach. They seem to be mentioned earlier and earlier every year. It’s inevitable that Christmas in July will eventually be a reality.

You also have to balance seeing all of your friends and attending the multitude of parties. Something else you should remember to do is see the dentist. Dr. Allan J. Milewski, your Medina family dentist, wants you to know that your dental insurance benefits are about to reset, and you should definitely use them. (more…)
