Of course! Dr. Michitti enjoys welcoming whole families, including young patients who still have their baby teeth. Our team will be sure to take a gentle approach with your son or daughter, providing check-ups, cleanings, fun lessons about brushing and flossing, dental sealants, fluoride treatment, and other services that help strengthen and protect growing smiles.
No. If your gum tissue is bleeding at any point, there’s a problem, and that problem is typically the presence of a common infection known as gum (periodontal) disease. While relatively harmless at first, untreated cases of gum disease can quickly grow out of control and cause irreparable damage to your oral health – that’s why we stress the importance of early diagnosis and effective treatment. At Lifetime Dental of Agawam, we offer several options for combating gum disease and restoring oral health, including scaling and root planing, state-of-the-art soft tissue laser treatment, and more.
Chronic pain that’s located in the face and/or jaw is a common sign of TMJ disorder, which is caused by some kind of dysfunction that’s negatively affecting the patient’s temporomandibular (jaw) joints. Please let Dr. Michitti know about your discomfort right away; he will perform a thorough diagnostic assessment to determine the truth behind your condition. If TMJ disorder is the cause, restorative adjustments or occlusal splint therapy may be able to help relieve your troubling symptoms and provide long-term relief.
