1. Robert J. Martino, DDS Robert J. Martino, DDS And Allison Sceppaguercio, Dmd Treat Occlusal Disease Occlusal disease forms when a patient’s bite is not properly aligned. Because of the ill-alignment every time the patient bites down the pressure on the teeth begin to create problems with the teeth, muscles, jaw and jaw joint. Occlusal disease is one of the most common dental disorders, while at the same time one of the most undiagnosed dental disorders. Teeth can also become loose and move much easier. They will often times become sensitive to temperature changes and they’ll likely become sore from biting. Symptoms of Occlusal Disease are varied. Where the teeth compact upon each other it’s common to find the enamel completely worn down. WHAT HAPPENS IF OCCLUSAL DISEASE IS UNTREATED Without treatment a patient’s teeth will continue to wear down and become worse over time. Eventually the teeth can become completely lost. A patient’s muscle and jaw joints will continue to cause discomfort. Overall the complexity of the treatment becomes worse. It’s better to solve occlusal disease as early as possible. HOW ROBERT J.
