Keep Your Teeth Clean n Strong

Brush regularly: Brushing keeps small food particles from becoming giant feasts for unwanted bacteria. If possible, brush a full two minutes. Divide the teeth into quadrants and spend at least 30 seconds on each quadrant. Use the sulcus technique, angling the bristles and gently inserting and cleaning underneath the gum line while you brush. If you are not sure how to do this, ask your hygienist.

Choose a good dentifrice: You don’t need much and when the mouth fills with foam, many people will spit it out and consider themselves finished brushing. There are many, many toothpastes and powders on the market all touting claims from being the best whitener to being the most natural. Try a powder with a good mixture of baking soda and flavoring - you’ll never go back to pastes! Fluoride? You won’t need it if you keep to a strict hygiene routine. Hydrogen peroxide? Good old baking soda is proven to be a better anti-microbial without the risk. You will be surprised how clean your teeth feel after using a baking soda-based powder. Just can’t deal with the powder? Keep your eye on a new paste called TheraSol being developed. This may be one of the most effective toothpastes to hit the market, but may only be available through dental offices.

Brush Your Tongue: Why do a great job on your teeth only to have them come in immediate contact with the microbes living on the surface of your tongue? As an added benefit, your breath will be MUCH better!

Floss Everyday: Flossing further cleans and removes calculus where your toothbrush cannot reach.

Irrigate the teeth and gums and do it daily: Oral Irrigation serves several purposes; it helps to remove food particles trapped below the gum line, using the right antimicrobial fluid in your irrigator can help remove the ‘biofilm’ which harbors bacteria dangerous to your oral health and irrigating massages the gums resulting in increased circulation. Short on time? New irrigators can now be attached right to your faucet or shower outlet allowing you to clean your teeth while you do the rest of your body. ShowerPik and QuickPik II are two such appliances new on the market.

Irrigate deep pockets with a cannula tip and good antimicrobial solution. This measure is one of the best things an individual can do, on his or her own, to assist in stopping decay where pockets have formed between the tooth and gum. Before you buy an oral irrigator, make sure you select an irrigator such as the Via Jet, which can accommodate the tiny cannula tips. Not all do. When irrigating a deep pocket, the cannula tip is small enough to deliver the antimicrobial solution deep, where the regular irrigator tip cannot reach. Ask your dentist for help in this. If you have the right dentist, he’ll be supportive and informative in your personal hygiene efforts.

Consult dental professionals regularly, but choose them intelligently: There are good offices and bad ones and you need to seek a good hygienist as well as a D.D.S. Make sure your hygienist is allowed a good 45 minutes to an hour - enough time to properly work on your teeth. Listen to your hygienist when she tells you about a problem area and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Be on time for your appointments. Talk to your dentist about ‘periodontal anti-infective therapy’ involving home irrigation and antimicrobial solutions. This is cutting edge science and a little effort on your part might keep you away from the ‘specialist.’ Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If your professional won’t take the time to answer you in a way you can understand or gets offended by your questions, it may be time to move on.

White teeth do not necessarily mean healthy teeth: While your biggest concern right now may be your smile, make sure that smile will be there, in good shape, years from now. Tooth whitening is tremendously popular today and many companies are catering to the market. While tooth whiteners remove staining, to some degree, they do not necessarily do the cleaning job required by your other efforts.

Nutrition is half the conflict. A demineralization and remineralization process is taking place constantly as the teeth are being bathed in healthy saliva. The body is equipped to care for itself as long as conditions are right, and as everything else in the body requires good nutrition, the teeth and gums are no exception. Staying away from sugar is fine, but don’t forget carbohydrates; cakes, breads, chips… Vitamin C has long been known as important for healthy gums and a good colloidal mineral supplement will provide the calcium and phosphorus your teeth need. Your strong autoimmune system is one of your best defenses against poor oral health and GOOD food is your best source of essential vitamins & minerals. Helpful food like Calcium-rich foods, such as low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese, fresh fruits and vegetables for vitamins A and C, and for chewing in order to promote healthy gums. Avoid sweet drinks and snacks.

Use the time, and be on time: These are YOUR teeth. How you care for them will determine how they will care for you down the road. Your attention to your good oral health could even save your life.

Smile makeover with cosmetic dentistry

Are you unhappy with your smile? Do you want to change your smile to improve the colour, shape or length of your teeth? Or change the appearance of your gums or lips to give your overall smile a more appealing look?

A recent survey revealed that:

* Over 75% of people don’t feel confident to smile in a photograph.
* Over 45% of people make judgements about people by the look of their smile.
* Over 75% of people think that a beautiful smile helps people psychologically.
* Over 65% of people think that an attractive smile helps romantically.

A smile makeover involves one or more cosmetic, dental or facial rejuvenation procedures to improve the aesthetics of your smile. A smile makeover to one person could mean something completely different to another, and it is a very individual choice. For example, some people want the perfectly white Hollywood smile makeover, or the celebrity smile with pearly white porcelain veneers. Other people may just want a simple improvement, such as the replacement of amalgam fillings with composite and teeth whitening. Whatever the reasons for your dissatisfaction with your smile, there are many different ways in which you can improve your smile using modern cosmetic dentistry.

  • Crooked teeth can be straightened with Invisalign braces or conventional orthodontics. They can also be covered with porcelain veneers for a faster solution, often referred to as “instant orthodontics”. In this situation, the main disadvantage is that your teeth need to be prepared for veneers.
  • Chipped, broken teeth can be repaired – the treatment will depend on the extent of damage, but the options include cosmetic bonding, porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns.
  • Missing teeth can be replaced – gaps between your teeth can cause functional problems as well as being unsightly. Often, a smile makeover involves the replacement of existing restorations or gaps between teeth. Solutions include dental implants, a dental bridge or a denture.
  • Gaps between your teeth can be closed to give your smile a more even look. This can be achieved instantly with porcelain veneers such as Lumineers, or da Vinci veneers. Orthodontics can also be used to move the teeth and close the gaps between them. Invisalign invisible braces, the Inman aligner, Damon braces, lingual braces and fixed orthodontics are just a few options for moving your teeth to close gaps.
  • If you have a gummy smile, this can easily be remedied by surgical or laser gum contouring.
  • If you are not satisfied with the colour of your teeth, or if you have badly stained teeth, they can be treated with prophyflex cleaning or professional teeth whitening.
  • If you have deep smile lines, frown lines or lips that have lost their fullness, these can all be improved using a combination of Botox and dermal filler treatments.

The end result of a smile makeover for many people is a smile to be proud of, one that is straight, white and perfectly aligned but for this you need to consult a perfect Cosmetic Dentist near you.

How much does a smile makeover cost?

This will depend on many factors:
The treatment required.
The skill of your cosmetic dentists.
The clinic where the treatment is carried out.
The quality of materials used for your work.
