Have you felt a shooting sensation around your teeth recently?

Have you noticed that your teeth have started to look longer than before? Have your gums receded around these teeth? Signs are you have cervical abrasions that occurs due to vigorous improper tooth brushing with a very hard toothbrush or abrasive toothpaste. These lesions often occur at the neck of the teeth and appear to cause gingival/gum recession. The receding gums expose the root surface further. This results in mild sensitivity initially. As the defect progresses in size so does the sensitivity. It may result in severe loss of tooth structure and may also sometimes expose the pulp necessitating a Root canal procedure.  In many cases, if the lesion is spotted early a simple filling would suffice. Occasionally a minor gum corrective procedures ( Plastic periodontal surgery) can cover the defect and provide better aesthetic results. If allowed to progress unchecked the lesion can become irreparable. To prevent such a problem, we recommend you visit us or any dentist to learn the correct way of brushing.

People who smoke have a higher risk of gum problems, tooth loss, complications after tooth removal and surgery in the mouth, and developing mouth cancer. They are more likely to get infections and don’t heal as well as non-smokers. Quitting smoking improves mouth cancer, reduces the risk of developing gum disease and mouth cancer, and improves the person’s response to gum treatment. It is very important for people who smoke to visit their dentist regularly to keep their teeth and gums healthy and check for signs of mouth cancer. If you smoke the following may occur ; Tooth loss (of some or all your natural teeth), making it difficult to chew certain foods, speak clearly or have confidence to smile if lost teeth aren’t replaced, tobacco causes poor blood supply to the gums which cause the gums to not respond well to gum treatment (professional dental cleaning) and Severe periodontal disease, acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (This is very painful condition that causes a terrible smell and taste). On the other hand, Smokeless tobacco can cause white or gray patches inside the mouth (leukoplakia) that can lead to cancer.Smokeless tobacco can also cause gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss. All in all, avoiding tobacco related products is good for the oral cavity and overall health of the body. Visit us @appledentalclinic for any queries

ARE YOUR TEETH SENSITIVE TO HOT, COLD AND SWEET FOOD?

An unexpected jolt. That sudden shock of pain. Having sensitive teeth is common. It’s also easy to treat. If you get a short, sharp, painful sensation in your teeth when you bite into an ice cream, take a sip of an icy drink or slurp a mouthful of hot soup, chances are you have sensitive teeth. Tooth sensitivity is an exaggerated response to stimuli such as hot, cold, sweet or acidic foods and drinks, exposure to cold air and even brushing your teeth. A range of factors can lead to tooth sensitivity, but there are two main underlying reasons: enamel loss and gum recession. Causes of enamel loss include Over-zealous brushing, Acid erosion.  Causes of gum recession include Brushing too hard, Gum disease, Your genes and Smoking.  Identifying the cause and doing appropriate treatment procedures make a huge impact on the long term prognosis of the tooth.

Teeth whitening refers to a variety of processes that aim to make someone’s natural teeth appear brighter and whiter. Teeth whitening methods include sanding down stains, bleaching, ultraviolet (UV) light therapy, and more. To whiten your teeth effectively, you’ll need to choose a whitening method that addresses the type of staining you have. If you have both intrinsic and extrinsic staining, you’ll likely need to choose a whitening method that safely addresses each type. If you aren’t sure which kind of staining you have, consider the following description of each. Intrinsic stains are inside your tooth enamel and are sometimes present before your tooth erupts over the gums. They may also be genetic Extrinsic strains are on the outside of the tooth structure and happen due to environmental exposure to certain substances that stain your teeth. Teeth whitening options range from toothpaste with whitening ingredients to professional teeth whitening sessions overseen by your dentist. Some whitening products aim to actually remove extrinsic stains from your teeth, while others simply bleach intrinsic and extrinsic stains so that they appear lighter in color. Assessing and determining the correct treatment option is crucial for optimum results. Visit us @appledentalclinic for more information.

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure where the dentist gains access to the center of a tooth to eliminate an infection. The infection that has reached the roots of a tooth is called pulpitis, or infection of the pulp (tissue) deep inside the tooth. After the procedure, patients have a tooth that is hollowed out and painless. Because the tooth no longer contains pulp inside it, a crown will add support to it so no further damage occurs. Dental crowns are the final step in any root canal treatments, but still, many wonder if they are necessary. Patients tend to be intimidated by the root canal procedure in itself, but when adding the factor of a dental crown, it may seem even more daunting. A tooth that has undergone a root canal treatment has already been weakened by issues that created a need for a root canal, so it needs to be protected from further damage. A crown encloses the restored tooth, improves appearance, protects from acids and bacteria in the mouth and protects from strong bite forces.

Immedietly evaluate if there is any bleeding from the tooth or around the tooth. If there is no bleeding from the tooth structure, it may be a fracture involving the first layers of the tooth and only require a filling for aesthetic purposes. Note if there is any change of tooth color and pain. If yes, check with your dentist at the earliest. If there is no bleeding but you have pain and sensitivity while opening your mouth and chewing food, you will need a filling for sure and further evaluation of the root and surrounding structures.

Do your teeth ever feel fuzzy or rough? If so, you may be leaving behind dental plaque on your te…

Do your teeth ever feel fuzzy or rough? If so, you may be leaving behind dental plaque on your teeth. Plaque loves to eat sugar and uses it to produce cavity-causing acid. You may especially feel plaque on your teeth after eating sugary food. Many different types of bacteria live in your mouth. Some are beneficial to your dental health, but others are harmful. For example, studies have shown that a select group of harmful bacteria produce acid in your mouth whenever they encounter and digest sugar. These acids remove minerals from the tooth enamel, which is the shiny, protective, outer layer of your tooth. This process is called demineralization. This repeated cycle of acid attacks causes mineral loss in the enamel. Over time, this weakens and destroys the enamel, forming a cavity. If left untreated, the cavity can spread into the deeper layers of the tooth, causing pain and possible tooth loss. Reducing your sugar intake may also support a healthy weight, decrease your risk of depression, and reduce your risk of heart disease,  Now that you know the secret to good health, What are you waiting for?

Clear Aligner Therapy is a treatment that involves moving your teeth, but without braces. The aligners are made out of a see-through plastic shell that fits perfectly over your teeth.  They are made individually for your teeth to move them into better positions. Depending on how far your teeth need to move, you will get a certain number of aligners to move your teeth to their required position.  They provide an easy and comfortable lifestyle whilst moving your teeth and the best thing is that they are barely visible! We all know braces as being the “old-school” way of straightening your teeth.  Braces or fixed orthodontics are still being used but there is another option to getting your teeth straight that does not involve braces.  Clear Aligners are now being widely used to straighten teeth.  Braces cannot be removed during your treatment whereas aligners can.  Aligners and braces can take the same amount of time to get similar results. The most important difference is that the Clear Aligners are almost invisible! At your consultation we will assess your teeth and face, take photos and a 3D intra-oral scan and x-rays.  With this information we will then see if you are a candidate for Clear Aligner Therapy. Visit us @appledentalclinic to find out!

When a person is missing teeth, he or she may experience a variety of problems. The person may become less confident in their smile and have difficulty speaking and eating certain foods. Dentures are appliances that are custom made to replace a person's missing teeth and restore the appearance and oral functions that were lost. Full dentures are likely what comes to mind when you think about traditional dentures. They consist of artificial teeth and a gum-colored base. Dentures can restore or even enhance a person's appearance and be virtually undetectable. Dental technicians craft dentures from materials like acrylic, resin, nylon, metal and porcelain. Dentures are generally worn during the day and taken out at night to give the oral tissues time to relax. Dentures must be handled with great care and placed in a container of water or denture cleaner when not being worn. They should never be placed in hot water, for they can be damaged or warped.
