A perfect smile doesn’t always come naturally and injuries, illness, medications and other things can ruin someone’s smile. With the help of the proper Dental Health Care, an individual can restore or improve their current smile. A smile is one of the first things someone sees when an individual greets them. Missing, discolored or chipped teeth can affect someone’s self-esteem and cause them to hide their mouth when the talk or smile. The latest technology permits a dentist to restore someone’s smile with minimally invasive techniques that will dramatically improve someone’s smile.
The best way to keep permanent teeth health is to visit a dentist twice a year for regular cleanings and exams. Early detection of gum disease or decay will reduce the chance of an abscessed tooth or the loss of them. Gum disease can begin as early as the teenage years. Additional cleanings may be needed throughout the year to reduce the progression of the disease. Gum disease can cause the roots of the teeth to die causing tooth loss. An abscessed tooth is an infection in the roots of the teeth. It is a very painful condition that causes a lump in the gum area near the roots and needs to be drained by a dentist and treated.
As an individual ages, their white teeth can become stained. Whitening in a dental office can help. This usually takes approximately and hour and has much better results than whitening kits sold in a store. In addition, a patient’s gums and lips will be protected against burns from the peroxide. If an individual has a chip in a tooth or a gap between their teeth, a porcelain veneer can be attached to the front of the tooth to correct the flaw. The porcelain veneers will match the other teeth in the mouth and will appear like a natural tooth. These types of procedures and many others are available through Dental Health Care.
