As we await further instruction from the Texas Dental Association, Crown Pointe Dentistry will continue to practice precautionary measures inside the office. All patients and non-patients will have their temperatures and oxygen saturation levels recorded at the front desk using a non-contact thermometer and a simple, over the finger pulse oximeter.
Persons with temperature readings over 100 degrees Farenheit and oxygen saturation levels at 92 or below will be referred to primary care for additional medical attention. The waiting room will be reserved for patients and essential companions only. Friends, relatives, acquaintances that are not directly responsible for the patient will be asked to remain in their vehicle.

Report
Flexural forces applied to teeth from clenching and grinding in combination with acids from the foods we eat can lead to erosion of the enamel at the gum line. Such lesions, known as abfractions, are not "cavities" in the proper sense, but exposing the softer part of the tooth called dentin can lead to a wide variety of problems.
Abfraction
Report
Non-carious Cervical Lesions describes a condition where tooth structure is lost below the gumline due to forces other than decay. Symptoms of Non-carious cervical lesions are often visual, with notches appearing on the teeth where the crown and root of the tooth meet. They can sometimes be accompanied by gum recession in the area as well.
Avulsed Tooth
Report
Avulsion occurs when a tooth is completely displaced from its socket or "knocked out"- this often occurs as the result of trauma or impact to the face and mouth. Normally your tooth is held within the socket by what is called the periodontal ligament. When a tooth is knocked out this connection is torn loose.
Anterior Displaced Disc
Report
The temporomandibular joint is the complex hinge that joins your lower jaw and skull together. It works similarly to a ball and socket, but also has the unique ability to glide forward via a series of muscles, ligaments, and fibrous tissues all working together. A key component of the ball and socket is a piece of fibrocartilage separating the two, called the articulator disc.
Bruxism Clenching & Grinding
Report
Bruxism is a condition where a patient grinds, gnashes, and/or clenches their teeth. It is typically an unconscious behavior, and can occur both while awake and sleeping. Common symptoms of bruxism include worn tooth structure and flattening of the teeth, increased tooth sensitivity, jaw soreness, tenderness of the facial muscles, and dull headaches.
