Dental Hygienist: Dental hygiene is a crucial part of dental health. The American Dental Association recommends that a person goes to get a teeth cleaning every six months. This is to ensure there is no dental diseases that go unchecked. Their recommendations are based on studies for dental epidemiology for US. Ultimately there are diseases that if caught early can result in timely treatment and the avoidance of more expensive dental treatment down the line. It is better to get surveillance now to avoid dental emergencies later. Many dental diseases that cause severe pain can lead to the need for surgical tooth extractions, root canals, and the replacement of teeth. This can all be avoided by visiting your dentist on a regular basis in order to ensure proper dental hygiene.
Dental Filling: If a person does not visit the dentist or the dental hygienist every 6 months then there is a high probability that dental caries will develop. These are breakdown in tooth enamel that can result from bacterial build-up. This can be due to inadequate brushing and flossing as well as missed dental check-ups. When you tooth is broken down the structure of the tooth is fundamentally compromised. The bacteria that build up on your teeth can produce acidic byproducts that can eat away at the enamel of your teeth. If this happens then you dentist will need to intervene to structural support the area with a composite filling. If you have questions about fillings and need dental consultation then feel free to contact us now.
Dental Crown: Dental crowns are typically needed if a person neglects a filling long enough that it wears away at the entire tooth crown. The tooth crown is the part of your mouth that people see when you smile. If your smile is affected then you will more than likely need a prosthetic dental crown in order to replace the diseased portion of your tooth. It is a procedure that is done to rehabilitate your smile and return it back to perfection. The dental crown is accomplished by preparing the tooth before hand. Your dentist will use a drill to remove diseased areas of enamel on your tooth crown. The dentist will then place a prosthetic dental crown over the area to make it look as good as new. If you need your smile rehabilitated then contact our dental associates today.
Root Canal: The root canal is the next step in the process when your tooth has deterioration that reaches the tooth root. The tooth root can be thought of as a necessary structure that contains blood and nerve supply to the tooth. This is the crucial nutrient supply that keeps the tooth alive and healthy. If this area is affected the nerve can activate as a result of inflammation around the adjacent area. The tooth root inflammation can cause severe pain that can be electrical in nature and severe in characteristic. This can lead to a dental emergency that requires the dentist to seal the tooth root with dental cement and reinforce it with a core and crown in order to make the tooth look as good as new. It is a technique employed to save your tooth from a surgical tooth extraction. It is always best to save your tooth as tooth prosthetic can never truly replace a living healthy tooth.
Tooth Extraction: The tooth extraction can be done if a root canal or a crown is not able to save your tooth. If inflammation and acidic breakdown of the tooth by bacteria is advanced, there is a possible that the tooth cannot be saved. In these cases there is usually inflammation and severe inflammation associated with your dental disease. This can warrant the use of a surgical tooth extraction in order to rectify the situation. The tooth extraction is a complex that should be avoided if possible but in some cases may be inevitable. If you have more questions about tooth extractions then contact our dental associates today.
Dentures: This is a form of tooth prosthesis that can be used to replace a tooth that is lost due to dental disease. If you are missing a tooth it can have adverse effects on your smile. Many people require dentures in order to replace a tooth that has been lost. Dentures can be partial or complete in order to enhance and perfect your smile.
