How do I know if I have wisdom teeth? You know if you have wisdom teeth by examining your mouth and finding three permanent molars in each dental quadrant. However, if the tooth is impacted under the tissue, presence of the tooth needs to be verified by a radiograph. A panoramic radiograph is usually the preferred X-ray to help assess the angle of eruption and state of development of the tooth. Most wisdom teeth can be visualized erupting through the gingiva in early adu...lthood, between the ages of 16 to 23. Sometimes, a person will feel the effects of the wisdom teeth before they are able to visualize them in their mouth. Erupting wisdom teeth will usually produce a feeling of pressure or dull throbbing in the back of the jaws. Your general dentist will often be able to inform you of the condition of these erupting teeth. . Contact us today to learn more about our services or to schedule an appointment

Advantages of Dental Porcelain Veneers 1. They Improve the Appearance of Your Smile As mentioned above, veneers are a great option for anyone with discolored, broken, misshapen or misaligned teeth. The shell of porcelain hides these cosmetic issues, resulting in a picture-perfect, yet natural appearance for your smile. 2. They’re Less Invasive Than Crowns... Dental crowns require extensive grinding to shape your natural tooth in preparation for the procedure. Porcelain veneer placement is far more conservative and requires very little removal of enamel. Not only is the procedure less invasive, veneers also provide a stronger bond than traditional crowns. 3. They Are More Stain Resistant Veneers are more resistant to stains when compared to a treatment like resin composites. The long-lasting solution isn’t vulnerable the permanent staining that traditionally comes with indulging in a daily cup of coffee or tea. .

Zoom is a bleaching process widely used throughout the country and around the world to lighten discoloration of enamel and dentin. Tooth discoloration may result from drinking coffee, tea, cola and red wine; or from smoking. The aging process also can stain and darken your teeth. The Zoom in-office tooth whitening procedure uses the Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp said to accelerate the bleaching process to activate the 25 percent hydrogen peroxide whitening. As the hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin to bleach the stained substances, leaving the structure of the tooth unchanged. .

Who makes a good candidate for Zoom whitening? The best candidates for professional teeth whitening have healthy teeth and gums, without old fillings or restorations. Patients whose teeth have yellow tones are more likely to respond well to Zoom. People who’ve had restoration work like fillings, crowns, and implants may not be good candidates because those inorganic elements (i.e., not your natural teeth) aren’t receptive to whitening. This can make your teeth look misma...tched, but your dentist may be able to develop a plan to give you consistent results. Zoom whitening isn’t recommended for: Children under age 16. People who are allergic to peroxide or have overly sensitive teeth. Anyone with periodontal disease, cavities, or exposed roots. Those who have been diagnosed with melanoma or skin cancer. Pregnant women. The American Dental Association says that due safety concerns from bleaching materials, pregnant women should delay any teeth whitening procedures until after giving birth and finishing breastfeeding. .

Causes of tooth loss The main possible causes of tooth loss include: Severe tooth decay: Dental cavities cause the destruction of the hard tissues of the tooth. If the tooth structure is damaged beyond repair or there is a tooth abscess that can not be controlled by root canal treatment, the tooth will be lost.... Advanced periodontal disease: Gum disease is the leading cause for tooth loss in adults. Advanced periodontitis causes the destruction of the periodontal tissues that support teeth. Without the gums and jaw bone around them to keep them in place, the affected teeth become loose and fall out or have to be extracted. Physical trauma or tooth injury: Sports and accidents are responsible for many of the lost teeth that suffer an irreversible damage due to physical trauma. Several factors have been found to increase the risk of tooth loss, such as some medical conditions, pregnancy, bruxism, lack of dental care, dental fear, poor finances and many other. .

Tooth Loss Many of the common dental problems we’ve already discussed can lead to tooth loss. Periodontal disease eventually leads to this if not treated immediately. Tooth decay can also lead to an extraction if the tooth can no longer be saved. Same goes for root infections. Consequently, when this happens you only have two options: dentures or dental implants.... Of course, as we age, our teeth also weaken from all the years of chewing, biting and grinding. Even if you don’t have any serious dental problems, you are still at a risk of tooth loss because it does come with age. WHO’s (World Help Organization) study shows that 30% of people in the world who are between the ages of 65-74 have no natural teeth. That’s the reason why seniors need dentures. Harsh truth but that’s the cycle of life. It’s not something to dread though. Because of dental technology and techniques innovations, it’s now possible to permanently restore teeth with dental implants. .

Cold sores, which are also called fever blisters, are groups of fluid-filled blisters that often erupt around the lips and sometimes under the nose or around the chin. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 and are very contagious. The initial infection (primary herpes) may be confused with a cold or flu and can cause painful lesions to erupt throughout the mouth. Once a person is infected with primary herpes, the virus stays in the body and causes occa...sional attacks. Cold sore blisters usually heal in a week by themselves. Over-the-counter topical anesthetics can provide some relief. Your dentist may prescribe antiviral drugs to reduce these kinds of viral infections. .
