DR. SUNIL KURUP, DDS Diseases That Arise After Time

Dr. Sunil Kurup, DDS, is a member of the American Dental Association, the Illinois State Dental Society, and has been affiliated with the Chicago Dental Society since 2003. Dr. Kurup has consistently maintained his extremely high standards by attending numerous education classes, seminars, and workshops, in order to remain at the forefront of new dental treatments and technologies. By so doing, Dr. Sunil Kurup, DDS, ensures his patients receive the most comprehensive and advanced dental care currently available on the market.

Dr. Sunil Kurup, DDS explains, the main goal of preventative dentistry is to protect oral health against issues that may arise over time. There are a variety of steps that can be taken to reduce the risks of needing restorative care. Along with at-home treatments, it is important to visit a dentist regularly. Even with the utmost care and attention paid on the part of the patient, there is no substitute for the knowledge and experience of dental professionals. After 25 years in the dental industry, the team at Distinctive Family Dental has developed a keen sense for recognizing symptoms and warning signs that may turn into issues later on.

As Dr. Kurup explains, a typical TMJ screening is routinely offered by Distinctive Family Dental alongside the check-up examination. The practice also performs a complete TMJ exam on patients who suffer from the symptoms of TMD. Treatment is decided on a case-by-case basis, but may include one or more of the following. An occlusal splint followed by an occlusal equilibration (adjusting the bite) after a thorough occlusal evalution has been conducted. Depending on the severity of the condition, various medications are then prescribed, and physical therapy performed.
