Crowns Can Protect Damaged Teeth

Teeth can be damaged in many ways. Chips, cracks and breaks can occur as the result of sporting injury, motor vehicle accidents or from any other kind of head trauma. Broken teeth can be very painful and also expose the sensitive inside parts of the tooth to the risk of infection and disease. Teeth can also be damaged by dental decay and enamel erosion. This again leaves them vulnerable to attack from disease, which could eventually lead to tooth loss. When teeth are damaged in this way it is necessary to protect them from further injury and also to restore the cosmetic appearance.

One of the oldest and most effective ways of protecting teeth is to fit a dental crown over the top. A dental crown is a ceramic or metal and ceramic cap that is designed to fit over the damaged tooth, covering all parts of the tooth above the gum line to act as a barrier to further damage. A dentist will first need to remove some of the existing enamel so that the crown can fit comfortably over the top. The crown, which will have been made in laboratory conditions to be the same size and shape as the original tooth, will then be cemented over the top using composite bonding.

Crowns are made from metal and ceramic as these are very versatile and strong materials. Ceramics such as porcelain also have a very similar appearance to tooth enamel, giving an improved aesthetic appearance. Once firmly in place the crown will perform all the functions of the original tooth.

Crowns are also used after certain dental surgeries and treatments to add a dimension of protection to the teeth. If dental decay has caused significant damage that a filling is not sufficient to protect the tooth, then a crown may be used to offer greater protection. Crowns are also used after root canal treatments to prevent further infection.

Invisible Braces For teens

Being a teenager isn’t easy at the best of times but being told you have to wear braces to straighten your teeth can be an added burden in the most emotionally unstable of developing years. Metal braces can make you stand out from the crowd and cause a loss of self-confidence and esteem at a time when you need it most. This was the thinking behind the development of Invisalign Teen invisible braces, by orthodontists who specialise in teenage patients.

Invisalign braces are made from one millimetre thick clear plastic that is virtually impossible to see unless standing very close to the patient. This completely reduces the visual impact of conventional braces minimising the impact on the life of the patient. This is also achieved in other ways, as the retainers are completely removable meaning they can be taken out for eating and social activities. Each retainer is worn for a period of two weeks before it is replaced with another computer-designed and manufactured brace. Each retainer makes small adjustment to gradually move teeth into the desired position providing beautiful straight teeth.

The limited impact means that teenagers are more inclined to wear the braces than they are other removable straighteners. Invisalign Teen braces also come with special tabs that indicate how long the brace has been worn for, so parents can check if their child has been wearing the brace for the correct amount of time. This and other innovations such as allowing for the development of further molars make the Invisalign Teen brace the brace of choice for parents and teenagers alike.Our dentists are using the Invisalign system to produce discreet straightening to achieve perfect life-long smiles.

It can be difficult to get string floss between teeth and then effectively maneuver below the gumline.But there is good news: Studies show the Waterpik® Water Flosser is easier and more effective than string floss.

A study at the University of Nebraska found that adding a water flosser to tooth brushing was up to 93% more effective at improving gum health than toothbrushing and string flossing.

Best Oral Hygiene Advice

Keeping your mouth and teeth clean is vital for protecting your dental health and avoiding any number of unpleasant and painful dental problems. Maintaining a good standard of oral hygiene is in fact the most important way of fighting tooth decay and gum disease and it also helps you to avoid embarrassing conditions such as bad breath and discoloured teeth.

The main way you can keep your teeth clean and healthy is by brushing. This should be performed twice a day for about three minutes. Shimla dentist also recommend that you use a soft bristled brush with a small head. This is most effective at removing plaque from the surfaces of the teeth and is also able to reach more parts of the mouth. Your dentist will be able to demonstrate the most effective ways to clean your teeth at your next check up appointment.

After brushing, the next most important way to keep your teeth clean is by flossing. This allows you to clean the parts of the teeth and gums that can’t be easily reached by brushing. This includes the areas between the teeth and around their base. It is these areas where food and bacteria can often get stuck and cause the first signs of disease and decay.

As well as brushing and flossing there are a number of other ways of keeping your mouth in good condition. These include using a tongue scraper to remove bacteria from the soft surface of the tongue. Ask your dentist for more information about other ways of cleaning your teeth and mouth. This ties in neatly with the final and possibly most important aspect of dental hygiene, namely regular visits to your dentist for a check up. This will help you to monitor your progress and make any changes necessary to your routine.For more information call us at 177-6450704.
