Dental bridges replace missing teeth. Specifically, they can replace one tooth or a row of missing teeth. As the name implies, this appliance literally “bridges the gap” in your smile. Dentists can create custom bridges that match the shade of your natural teeth. The dental bridge is intended to increase ease of eating and speaking, which may be difficult if teeth are missing.  In most cases, a dental crown is placed on the healthy teeth on each side of the gap to support the bridge in between them. These teeth are known as anchor teeth or abutment teeth. The bridge essentially creates a false tooth, known as a pontic. The pontic may be constructed from various materials such as gold, alloys, porcelain or a mixture of these materials. Depending on your situation and the type of bridge you receive, your bridge might consist of one or more abutments and one or more pontics. The success of the bridge is dependent on the strength of the healthy teeth that support it. Therefore, good dental care is essential to promote the durability of the dental bridge.

ARE YOU NOT HAPPY WITH YOUR SMILE?

A genuine smile, when your lips sweep upward and your sparkling eyes crinkle, is a beautiful thing. It signals the connection between joy and human. For some people, that joy might be affected by a condition known as a gummy smile, which happens when your smile reveals more of your gums than you’d like. In clinical terms, it’s called excessive gingival display. Whether you consider your smile “too gummy” is largely a matter of personal aesthetics, but you should know that it’s fairly common. Gummy smile can be caused by the way your teeth grow, the length of your upper lip and the way your lips move when you smile. Gummy smile can be treated by various procedures some of which are , gingivectomy, lip repositioning , crown lengthening and botox injections.

One of the steps to have a clean mouth is to avoid coffee , alcohol and carbonated drinks. Why?

Coffee contains ingredients called tannins which can stain your teeth , lead to growth of bacteria and also bad breath because it sticks to the tongue. Carbonated drinks have various acids in them. The acids in these carbonated drinks can and will erode your tooth enamel over time. That process is sped up if you consume carbonated drinks often. Many cocktails and alcohols use sugary mixers that can coat your teeth's surface, leading to tooth decay over time. Beer, red and white wine, and cider all contain acid that will slowly dissolve enamel, leading to sensitivity or pain  Therefore avoiding the consumption of these three drinks is safe for your teeth.Consequently, the best drink to choose is milk it strengthens teeth and build stronger enamel giving you a healthy, beautiful smile Now that you know the secret to health teeth, What are you waiting for?

As soon as a child has a tooth, they can get cavities. But just because something is possible doesn’t mean it’s likely. Unfortunately, tooth decay in very young children is more common than you think. To make matters worse, tooth decay in very young children is especially aggressive. When left untreated, it can rapidly destroy entire teeth and can lead to infections that become medical emergencies. This is especially problematic because tooth decay often does go untreated in very young children. Early childhood caries refers to tooth decay in children under the age of six. A child under the age of six has early childhood caries if the child currently has a decayed tooth, has lost a tooth as a result of tooth decay, or has had a cavity filled. Leaving these teeth untreated may lead to pain, premature tooth loss, serious infections and also affect the underlying adult teeth. If your child has a cavity or is likely to have one, come and get it checked ASAP because prevention is always better than cure.

Keeping your teeth clean and healthy is as simple as brushing your teeth twice a day, once in the morning and once in the night before you go to sleep. Flossing once a day to remove the debris between your teeth facilitates better maintenance of oral hygiene. Taking care of your teeth helps prevent cavities and gum disease. Brushing and flossing properly can prevent plaque which is a clear film of bacteria that sticks to your teeth. After you eat, the bacteria break down sugar on your teeth into acids that eat away tooth enamel, causing holes called cavities. Plaque also causes gum disease that can make your gums red, swollen, and sore. Now that you know the secret to health teeth, What are you waiting for? Start today.

Gutta-percha is a material used to fill a tooth after a root canal treatment. Gutta-percha, a plastic substance derived from a Malaysian tree called percha tree, is used as a permanent filling in root canals. During root canal procedure, the tooth's damaged area i.e., the pulp, is removed, and the tooth's canals are cleaned and disinfected before being filled and sealed. Gutta-percha is the thermoplastic filling material that is heated and compressed into the tooth's canal and sealed with cement. Gutta percha comes in different sizes namely, 2% , 4% and 6% to fit into the root canal perfectly according to the standards and shape of the canal created by the rotary and hand instruments. Choosing the right taper and size of Gutta percha is important for a good treatment experience and prognosis.

If you have a tooth that is chipped, cracked, or decayed, you will likely be recommended a dental crown to protect the remaining tooth structure and restore function. A dental crown is a hollow cap that fits over the top of an existing tooth in order to protect it and provide stability. There are many different types of crowns out of which porcelain fused to metal crowns, also known as PFM crowns are an affordable and long lasting option. These crowns are fabricated with a metal-alloy interior and a porcelain exterior allowing them to have the strength of metal crowns combined with the aesthetics of porcelain crowns. PFM crowns are widely accepted by many because they are visually pleasing, durable and affordable.

Wondering what dental crowns are? Crowns are protective caps that cover the decayed, broken or weak teeth. They can be made from several different materials, but one of the more popular materials used is zirconia. Zirconia crowns are durable and they replicate the look of natural teeth. The hardness of zirconia makes it wear-resistant. Not only will the ceramic not fracture easily when you accidentally bite down on something hard, but it also won’t wear down quickly once in place. A zirconia crown retains much of its original shape even on the chewing surface for a long time. From an aesthetic perspective, zirconia looks a lot like natural teeth. Its white color and subtle translucency appear just like teeth, and virtually no one will notice the crown once it’s put on.
