Basic Guide to Dental Bonding

12/24/2015

Comments

 
Dental bonding is a quick and effective way to repair small imperfections on teeth. During the bonding process, composite resin is applied to repair chipped, decayed, discolored, or fractured teeth. Bonding can be completed in a single visit, and does not cause any pain or discomfort. In addition to cosmetic benefits, dental bonding can also be used to fill cavities. Once the resin has been applied to the teeth, the results are permanent. Learn more about dental bonding to determine if the procedure may be right for you.
 
When Is Dental Bonding Used?
Bonding is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to improve the appearance of your smile. The composite resin used in dental bonding can be easily shaped and polished to match your surrounding teeth for a good looking finish. In addition to fixing chipped or discolored teeth, bonding can also close spaces between teeth, make teeth appear longer, or change the shape of your teeth. The most common reasons people turn to dental bonding includes:
·       To fill a small gap between two teeth
·       To change the shape of a tooth
·       To repair decayed teeth by filling in the cavities
·       To eliminate discoloration
·       To make a tooth appear longer
·       To protect the root of a tooth that has receding gums
 
 
Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?
To determine if you're a good candidate for dental bonding, you must be examined by a dentist. Once the tooth in question has been analyzed, your dentist can determine the best course of action for treatment. Dental bonding is not suitable in all situations. For example, bonding cannot usually be applied to teeth that undergo a great amount of pressure, typically from chewing or biting. It is also not a good solution for covering big areas of teeth or for major damage. If you only have small imperfections, dental bonding is an excellent choice.
 
How Does Dental Bonding Work?
Dental bonding is a simple, straight-forward procedure that can be completed within one visit to your dentist. Local anesthesia is not typically needed, unless a cavity is being filled. After your dentist examines the tooth, they will decide on a resin color to match the bonding material as closely as possible to your natural teeth. The tooth must then be prepared for bonding by roughening up the surface. Tooth-colored resin is then applied to the area where the dentist will mold and smooth the surface until it resembles your other teeth. A special light is used to harden the resin material.
 
How to Care for Bonded Teeth
Caring for your bonded teeth is virtually the same as caring for your natural teeth. It's essential to maintain good oral hygiene, including daily brushing and flossing. It's also important to visit your dentist at least twice a year for a checkup and dental cleaning. During each checkup, ask your dentist to check on your bonded teeth. In some instances, small fixes may need to be made to keep your bonded teeth looking their best.

REGULAR DENTAL VISITSfreedigitalphotos.net
The dental association recommends that an adult must visit the dentist once in every four to six months, in order to ensure that the dental health is taken care of in right way. Like the health of the body, you also need to take care of the dental health, as you can also avoid many of the health related problems, if you are prompt in your dental examination. Doing so will help you maintain healthy gums and teeth, and it will prevent more serious and costly complications down the road. Some people are so scared to visit their dentist that they avoid it at all cost and then at the time of emergency, they search for the Edmonton dentist open Sunday. Many people also think that if they are brushing their teeth properly, then they don’t need to visit their dentist at all, as it will take care of all the dental problems. No matter how good you are when it comes to brushing and flossing the teeth, the plaque and tartar deposits will inevitably begin to accumulate on places you can’t reach. Thankfully, dentists and hygienists are well-trained in the removal of plaque by using a number of special tools and instruments.

When you are going to take the appointment with the dentists, then he will examine the teeth by taking x-rays of portions, or "quadrants" of your mouth. This will ensure that the dentist is able to see the areas of gums and teeth in a much clearer manner and if there are any cavities or problems which could negatively impact your oral health, then the dentist will take care of them at earliest. When the dentist cleans your teeth then he tries to remove as much as plaque and tartar from your teeth, gums, and tongue as possible. If you have too much of build-up of tartar deposits on your teeth, it may be quite difficult to remove them in one sitting. In that case, you need to take more than one appointment with the dentist to get it cleaned in a right manner. After the cleaning of the teeth is done, the dentist may give you a fluoride treatment where the toothpaste like substance that is rich in fluoride content is polished on the surface of each tooth in order to prevent plaque from thriving.

Post-Dental Visit

After all the procedure is done in a right manner, then you don’t have to worry about anything for the coming four to six months. But you need to make sure that you are following the right care and must brush you teeth twice a day in a proper manner. Don’t forget to floss the teeth after every meal too. There are many Edmonton dentist open Sunday and if you are someone who doesn’t have time on weekdays, then you can contact them on weekends too.

What Causes Toothache And Why It Is A Dental Emergency

8/1/2015

Emergency Dental Clinic
Toothache is one of the most common dental problems. Every year millions of people with toothache visit dentists in Edmonton. Nevertheless, toothache can be prevented with proper dental hygiene.

Toothache generally happens when the pulp of the tooth is infected, disturbed or exposed. The pulp is the inner layer of the toot covered in a layer of dentin and they by the tough layer that is popularly called the enamel. Toothache can also begin if only the outermost layer is damaged, exposing the dentin.

Sometimes the pain is so severe and unbearable that you have to visit an emergency dentist so that they can help you know the cause and give appropriate treatment to ease your pain.

The most popular dental causes of tooth pain are:

  • Tooth sensitivity: Strange sensation on consuming cold or cold, sour or sweet beverages and food.
  • Tooth Decay: Popularly termed as cavities.
  • Tooth Abscess: A complication of tooth cavities.
  • Gum diseases: Also known as gingivitis and in severe cases periodontal diseases
  • A cracked tooth
  • Jaw disease: Popularly called as TMJ dysfunction
Tooth Root sensitivities: This problem happens due to bacterial toxins. These toxins deteriorate the bone around the tooth, resulting in exposure of the root of the tooth causing the toothache and sensitivity.

Treatment: Visit Edmonton Emergency Dental Clinic. Sensitivity and fluoride gel toothpastes can assist the root to become stronger and in turn decrease toothache.

Tooth Decay: It happens when the acid created by bacteria in our mouth starts to affect the minerals of the enamel. This demineralisation of the enamel creates a hole in the tooth exposing the dentin which in turn causes tooth ache.

Treatment: In most cases, dentist apply a filling to the the tooth cavity. In cases of large and severe cavities the crown is recommended.

Tooth Abscesses: This condition occurs when dental cavity is left untreated. In this condition the bacteria infects the tooth from the inner pulp to the bone tissue at the end of the root resulting in tooth pain.

Treatment: This condition can be treated by a root canal procedure. In this procedure the pulp of the tooth is removed and then filled and sealed with an inert material.

Gum Disease: This dental problem occurs when the soft tissue in your mouth gets infected due to a build up of tartar or plaque along the gum line. In this condition bleeding gums is also very popular.

Treatment: Dentists usually recommend to improve your oral hygiene. Also remove the build up of tartar. In some cases root planning is also recommended which is the removal of plaque and tartar from the roots of the teeth.

Feel free to contact Edmonton Emergency Dental Clinic in case of any dental emergency.
