When it comes to whitening your teeth, there are a range of over the counter products available. Here, our Surrey dentist explain why professional whitening systems tend to be safer and more effective.
It is important to conduct thorough oral hygiene at home twice daily utilizing tooth brushing with a fluoride antibacterial toothpaste and flossing to remove food debris and plaque on teeth, bridgework and implants, and brushing the tongue to remove odor-causing bacteria.
Periodontal procedures, such as soft tissue grafts, are available to stop further dental problems and gum recession, and/or to improve the aesthetics of your gum line.
Non-surgical periodontal therapy removes plaque and calculus by controlling the growth of harmful bacteria and by treating conditions that encourage gum disease.
Occlusion refers to the alignment of teeth and the way that the upper and lower teeth fit together (bite). Ideally, all upper teeth fit slightly over the lower teeth. Malocclusion means the teeth are not aligned properly.
Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings that protect the chewing surfaces of children's back teeth from decay (cavities).
A crown is a type of dental restoration which completely encircles remaining tooth structure or a dental implant.
As far as a dental restoration goes, the terms "crown" and "cap" are synonymous. Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth.
Among the most common, irritating and difficult to diagnose problems with head and neck pain are temporal mandibular joint problems, more commonly known as TMJ problems.
For decades, fluoride has been held in high regard by the dental community as an important mineral that is absorbed into and strengthens tooth enamel, thereby helping to prevent decay of tooth structures.
