Did you remember to brush your teeth this morning? Excellent, says Norman dentist Dr. Bobby J. Carmen. Now, think back on what you ate today. You try to eat healthy, so let’s say you started the day with a breakfast of oatmeal, orange juice and coffee. For lunch, you stopped at the local sandwich shop and had a turkey on whole wheat with lettuce, tomato and mayo, a bag of potato chips and a soft drink. Your mid-afternoon snack was a handful of almonds and raisins, and dinner was veggie lasagna and a salad. Nutritious and delicious for you—and a veritable feast for oral bacteria.
When you’re talking to a friend or eating dinner, do you ever think about the mechanics involved in making that happen? In summary, there are hinges located just in front of your ears that allow you to open, close and move your jaw so you can happily have a conversation and enjoy a good meal. That hinge is called your temporomandibular joint, or TMJ for short. Fortunately, most people don’t need to think about this joint because it functions properly. However, for those who have TMD, or temporomandibular joint disorder, the symptoms can be quite problematic. Fortunately, there is a solution. Dr. Bobby Carmen offers TMJ therapy in Moore, OK, so sufferers don’t need to think about their TMJ anymore.
Dr. Carmen and his team of dental hygienists and assistants genuinely enjoy spending time with their patients and getting to know each one better. However, that’s not the only reason they want you to come by twice a year. Dental checkups are a way for you to maintain your oral health, and they are also an important part of what you do to ensure your overall health. That’s why Norman dentist Dr. Carmen encourages patients of all ages to schedule two dental cleanings and exams every year.
