Snoring/Sleep Apnea
Are you missing out on sleep because of snoring? Snoring and sleep apnea are two of the most common sleep-related breathing disorders. Whether you are the snorer or the partner of someone who snores, contact Dr. Finlay to learn about treatment options to stop snoring and treat sleep apnea. The position of the jaws and related structures influences the development of sleep apnea, making the dentist a key professional in the diagnosis and treatment.
Bleeding Gums
Gum disease affects over 75% of the adult population. Bleeding gums may be an early warning sign of gum disease. It is caused by plaque buildup that is not properly removed and causes the gums to become inflamed and bleed. We offer a range of treatments to restore your gums to optimal health.
Cavities
Most Americans experience cavities at some point in their life. Dr. Finlay offers a range of dentistry treatments to treat any stage of a tooth cavity. A tooth filling can treat a tooth cavity and is a simple procedure that can typically be completed in a single visit. If the dental cavity has been left untreated, it may extend to the tooth’s root canal. This typically causes extreme pain or an infection. Root canal therapy is necessary to save your tooth from extraction.
Teeth Grinding
Bruxism is often referred to as “teeth grinding” and affects millions of people. It can cause a lot of damage to your teeth, gums, and jaw. Many people grind their teeth while they sleep and are unaware of the serious damage they are causing to teeth, muscles, and joints. Dr. Finlay offers solutions to help stop teeth grinding.
