Our teeth are one of the strongest parts of our entire body, and have been designed in such a way that it may last a lifetime. However the wear and tear often results in tooth loss or chipped or discolored teeth. This causes a dent in an individual’s self esteem and a solution is quickly sought after. Porcelain veneers are small ceramic plates that are fitted into a person’s teeth to improve appearance.

Also called ‘instant orthodontics’ these thin porcelain shields are used to cover the front of the teeth and are put on the teeth as a permanent measure to cover up stained, chipped, broken or other defects of the teeth. They are also used to fill gaps between teeth. The two types of veneer are ‘porcelain veneer’ and ‘composite resin veneer’. Resin is a filling material which is close to the color of one’s tooth and is used to hide a filling once it is complete. Resin can also be used to create veneers to cover a tooth. On the other hand ceramic veneers are thin porcelain shields that are put on the front surface of the tooth. Continue reading ‘Use Porcelain Veneers For A Permanent Solution’ »

Do you often awake with a dull headache or a sore jaw? Do you sometimes find yourself clenching your teeth? Until you have a dental checkup or go to your dentist with pain you will not realize that you have a condition called “Bruxism”. This is a habit of grinding or clenching the teeth.

Many people are unaware that they clench or grind their teeth because they often do it when they sleep. The clenching or grinding can be quite audible. Some people make no sounds and it is diagnosed by their dentist who notices wearing of their teeth in certain areas. Aside from awaking with a headache, a person who clenches or grinds may also have an earache and or toothache.

They may also have sore jaw muscles or joint pain. This joint pain or “TMJ” affects the muscles on each side of the mouth which connects the lower jaw to the skull. This grinding or clenching can also affect the fillings in your mouth. Wearing away of the fillings and enamel of the teeth causes sensitivity. It can also cause loosening of the teeth, cracking of a filling or tooth, and even tooth loss. Continue reading ‘Dental Health Guide’ »

The treatment for gum disease is usually just a matter of doing the things that you should have been doing to prevent it in the first place, maintaining an effective oral hygiene routine. Gingival disease, or periodontal disease is caused by the build up of plaque on the teeth and gums. Plaque is a thick material that occurs naturally in the mouth. The problems happen when this material is allowed to remain on the teeth.

The plaque itself is not really the problem, it is the bacteria that live in the plaque that causes the damage. If the plaque is removed on a regular basis this bacteria does not have the chance to build up the numbers to do any damage. If they remain, they will release a toxin that is hazardous to the gums.

We typically think of our mouth as a vehicle for talking and eating. We overlook caring for it while attracting bacteria day in and day out. Some bad bacteria can attack your gums and teeth. This could start the early stages of gum disease, also medically termed periodontal disease, if not looked after.

This disease starts out with plaque build up. The plaque sticks to your teeth and at first is not visible to you. If you don’t make regular trips to a dentist who will usually scrape it off during cleaning, then it can build up over time at extreme stages. When this happens it turns into a hard substance known as tarter. When tarter builds up it can only be removed during a cleaning as it is too hard for you to scrape away.

Gum disease is not thought about until you experience signs. We’re trained from an early age to brush. After that, we don’t think about our mouth again, even when eating or talking. Additional care is needed to prevent hidden bacteria from attacking the gums and teeth. At that point periodontal disease is present.

To prevent gum disease, you need to take easy steps for successful oral hygiene. The most common is regular dental visits for routine exams and cleanings. During exams you teeth will be cleaned and any plaque build up will be scraped away. Usually, you won’t recognize plaque build up when brushing. If the plaque is not removed during normal cleanings, it could turn into a harder buildup known as tarter. This is harder to remove, and a professional will need to be consulted.
