It includes cancers that affect the tongue, lips, floor of the mouth, hard palate and cheeks.

Here are 7 early signs of the disease that you should not ignore if you want to successfully treat Oral Cancer:

  1. Swellings, lumps or rough spots in your mouth, neck or jaw that do not disappear even after 3 weeks are one of the first signs that you could be developing mouth cancer.
  2. Ulcers or red or white patches that have a velvety texture are one of the first signs that crop up. If the patches do not heal in 3 weeks, it is highly probable that oral cancer is starting to develop.
  3. People who suffer from this cancer experience difficulty in chewing and swallowing, moving the jaw or tongue and speaking in the early stages. If this occurs, it is important to take prompt action and get it checked by a doctor.
  4. Sores in the mouth, neck and face that bleed persistently and do not heal within 2 weeks need to be checked as they are also symptoms of oral cancer.
  5. Another symptom of oral cancer is constant bleeding in your mouth that cannot be explained.
  6. Loss of feeling or pain in areas like your mouth, neck, face and ear are other indicators that oral cancer could be developing.
  7. Oral cancer patients also experience chronic sore throat in the early stages. The sore throat can also be accompanied by a lump in your throat. Once this symptom shows up, it is best to get it checked out by a doctor as soon as possible.


Other Signs & Symptoms

What Does the Early Stage of Oral Cancer Look Like?

Most of the times, mouth cancer doesn’t exhibit symptoms in the early stage. A few common indications of oral cancer include the development of mouth sores/lesions that don’t cure even after being on medications. The thickening of the skin, lining the oral cavity occurs with lump formations and red and/or white patches are viewed in several areas of the mouth.


What Does Cancer Look Like in Your Throat?

The answer actually depends on what portion of the throat contains the cancerous cells. In other words, the position of the tumor and the stage of its growth, are key to representing the appearance of throat cancer. For example, if you have a larynx cancer, red patches may be seen along with an irregular surface. Sores of lesions and piled up cells may also be visible.

It is crucial to note that you might get a blistered and swollen lump in an advanced staged throat cancer. It may at times feel like a concentrated growth of cells. Sometimes, the tumor may appear to be round and suspended over the lining of the throat.


How Do You Know if You Have Oral Cancer?

White lesions (or leukoplakia) and red lesions (or erythroplakia) are the two types of mouth lesions that could be a harbinger of cancer. If these lesions don’t resolve on their own within 2 weeks, they should be reexamined and sent for biopsy to get a conclusive diagnosis.



Other potential signs indicating oral cancer that you may report to your doctor include:

  • Lump or node in the soft oral tissues
  • Tenderness or a feeling that something getting choked in the throat
  • Trouble chewing or swallowing
  • Trouble with jaw or tongue movement
  • Pain in the Ear
  • Hoarseness in the voice
  • Numbness of the tongue or other portions of the mouth
  • Swelling of the jaw
  • Poorly fitting or uncomfortable dentures

A thorough medical examination and tests, as required, should be carried out to get a precise diagnosis in case these problems last for more than 2 weeks. If it’s not possible to get the definite diagnosis, the case should be referred to the appropriate specialist.


Can Oral Cancer Kill You?

Also referred to as a silent killer, oral cancer is mostly painless at the onset. But as soon as an annoyingly painful area is noticeable, it turns into an important concern. Early detection and self-awareness is key to saving lives.

According to some estimate 4 out of 5 people diagnosed with an early-stage mouth, cancer will survive for at least five years preceding their diagnosis. On the contrary, the prospect of survival is much bleak, if mouth cancer is detected at a later stage when it has already spread from the mouth into adjacent tissue. In such cases, merely 1 in 5 people will survive for at least five years after diagnosis.


What are the First Signs of Mouth Cancer?

The initial signs of mouth cancer include:

  • Red or white patches in the oral tissues
  • Non-healing and easily prone to bleeding mouth sores or ulcers
  • Inexplicable swelling in the neck region, throat or mouth lining
  • Trouble or discomfort swallowing and chewing
  • Painful and sore teeth or gums
  • Misfitting dentures or partial dentures
  • Visible alteration in mouth tissue
  • Uncomfortable sensations (pain, soreness, numbness)


Is Mouth Cancer Treatable?

Often the instances of oral cancer are curable. Several oral cancer cases have been cured with surgery. There are many different types of surgery being used. If an important surgery is performed, the surgeon may also reconstruct parts of the oral cavity to retain your mouth’s appearance and function. Radiation therapy is also applied to treat and cure oral cancer, sometimes in combination with surgery. Chemotherapy may be considered before or after surgery or used separately when the cancer is detected at a later stage. Powerful chemotherapy can check further spread of cancer.


Timely detection and treatment of an early stage mouth cancer can have a good probability of a cure. Chances of a cure are diminished if the cancer has spread.

Clear Aligners

Accessorize your look with the perfect smile today and everyday!                      

Both of them are straightening their teeth?

Which one would you like to be?

 Everybody wants a great smile, but a lot of us need help getting there. When people think of braces, they most often think of traditional orthodontics with metal brackets and wires. However, invisalign is another alternative that can address the same orthodontic concerns, but without the obvious mouthful of metal. Therefore, invisalign appeals to many people, but they still have questions. Here we have answered for you.

  1. What are Aligners?

Aligners are plastic trays made of a thermoplastic material that surround your teeth in a similar fashion to certain dental retainers. Aligners are durable and designed to move the teeth gradually into the correct position.

 

  1. Will Aligners work as well as metal braces to straighten my teeth?

Yes, the aligners can close gaps between your teeth, move crooked and rotated teeth into the correct position and address bite issues. The only thing aligners cannot do is address bite problems that the jaw bone causes.

 

  1. Are the Aligners painful?

Generally, invisalign does not hurt. Some people experience temporary discomfort for a few days at the beginnig of each new stage of treatment. This is normal and is typically described as a feeing of pressure. It’s also a sign that invisalign is working as it moves your teeth to their final destination. This discomfort typically goes away in a couple of days.

 

  1. How do Aligners straighten teeth?

Over the course of treatment, you will be supplied with a series of aligners. Each aligner will make a slight adjustments to tooth position.When the aligners are placed on the teeth, they cause the teeth to gradually shift from their current position. After approximately 1 week, you will begin using the next set of aligners which will continue the teeth straightening process.

 

  1. What makes the teeth move with Invisalign Aligners?

Invisalign aligners move your teeth through the appropriate placement of controlled force and also the timing of the force application. During each stage only certain teeth are allowed to move. These movements are determined in the sequence we set for your unique invisalign treatment plan.

 

  1. What is the procedure for Aligners?

Once you and your doctor establish that clear aligners is the right treatment option for you, your doctor will take impressions, photos and x – rays of your teeth. After that your doctor sends your records – your impressions , photos and x –rays to lab with a prescription for your custom aligners. Lab uses your records to create exact 3D models of your teeth and when it is ready it will be sended to the doctor by the lab.  Aligners have to be worn for 20 – 22 hours per day wearing the aligners less frequently will prolong your overall treatment time and only removed for eating, brushing and flossing. We will schedule regular appointments usually about once every 10 – 12 weeks.The goal of these visits is to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.

 

  1. What are the advantages of Invisalign?

The obvious advantage of invisalign is that the aligners are not obvious – infact, they are hardly noticeable in normal social and professional circumstances. In addition, invisalign aligners are removable so you can take them whenever you want to eat and drink or when it’s time to brush and floss your teeth.

 

  1. Are there restrictions as to what I can eat while in Aligners?

No, thanks to the removable nature of aligners. You can eat and drink whatever you want while in treatment. In fact, you are required to remove your aligners to eat and drink. So unlike when undergoing traditional treatment using wires and brackets, there is no need to restrict your consumption of any of your favourite foods and snacks unless you are instructed otherwise by your doctor. Also, it is important that you brush your teeth after each meal and prior to reinserting your aligners to maintain fresh breath and proper hygiene.

 

  1. How should I clean my Aligners?

The invisalign cleaning system is the best way to keep your aligners clean and fresh. Alternatively, you can brush and rinse them with lukewarm water. Never use boiling water as it’s heat can damage the aligners plastic resin

 

  1. Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment to prevent my teeth from moving again?

We recommend that anyone who has completed orthodontic treatment, whether braces or invisalign treatment, use a retainer to prevent teeth from gradually shifting back towards their initial position. Certain reasons to wear a retainer are :-

  • Maintains the space for wisdom teeth and new teeth
  • Prevents the treatment reversal by aligning the bone with gums and helps the teeth to hold their position
  • Stabilize the bite

Parenting is no easy feat. You have got to be ready to teach your kids, train them rather, to do things on their own to prepare them for adulthood.

 

Under your care, they learn how to walk, how to eat on their own, how to dress themselves among other life essential tricks.

 

One of the things that they learn from you is proper oral hygiene. If you’re a new parent, this is perfect for you.

 

Here are a few things you need to know in caring for your child’s teeth.

 

Teething

 

Babies start teething at the age of six months. This is what is known as primary dentition. The bottom front teeth are the first ones to break out between 6-9 months.

 

Before they fully break out, you should expect your child to be irritable and in a significant amount of pain considering their size.

 

You can help relieve the pain by putting their teethers in the fridge to cool or freeze some of their favorite baby food to suck on. The cold will help numb the pain and reduce the swelling.

 

During this period, you can clean your baby’s gums by wiping a clean soft washcloth or gauze over them carefully.

 

Baby Teeth Cleaning

 

By the age of three, most children have their 20 primary baby teeth. However, the moment the first two teeth pop out, parents should brush their child’s teeth for them already.

 

When the first teeth pop out, use a soft bristled baby’s toothbrush and water after breakfast and before bedtime. You can use a small dab of toothpaste for kids since they don’t contain fluoride.

 

Your baby will not know how to spit toothpaste out voluntarily at that age. So, to prevent fluoride ingestion, use toothpaste for kids or just plain water.

 

By the age of three, most children are ready to brush their own teeth but you have to be around to supervise, make sure they don’t use too much toothpaste or hurt themselves while brushing.

 

Supervision

 

According to Colgate Professional, parents should lead and guide their kids’ brushing from birth to the age of 12. By this age, they would have already learned the motor skills by heart and are able to routinely follow proper brushing techniques.

 

As mentioned above, parents are to brush their kids’ teeth for them from birth to 3 years. Afterwhich, supervision and follow up is required. Once your toddler is done brushing his teeth, go back for one more sweep to get to the hard-to-reach areas and introduce flossing to them.

 

At the age of 6, children are able to follow a proper brushing technique and parents should regularly check up on their kids to make sure they are consistent in their brushing method. You can also let them try flossing on their own.

 

Once the second molars erupt around the age of 12, you can now let your kids brush their own teeth without supervision but with gentle reminders of keeping the oral hygiene habit consistent.

 

Other Helpful Things to Know

 

According to the American Association of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), it’s best to take your child for his first dentist visit when the first tooth appears and not later than his first birthday.

 

This will help your child get accustomed to seeing the dentist at an early age and therefore, not develop a fear. Your dentist will also be able to give your more tips about caring for your baby’s teeth and what to expect.

 

Always remember to use non-fluoride toothpaste for the first few years until your child learns how to spit. It can be harmful when swallowed.

 

If your child has a habit of thumb-sucking, help him wean off of the habit before the permanent teeth sets in. These habits can cause problems with teeth alignment.



Summing it up…

 

In order for your child to develop an understanding why dental hygiene is important, you, as a parent, have to play an active, involved and consistent role. Yes, you might encounter problems during this suggested 12-year process but there are ways to help them practice a healthy oral hygiene routine.

 

And always remember that it won’t hurt to pay your dentist a visit if you notice something wrong or unsure of with your child’s oral health.

Charles M. Cobb, DDS, M.S., Ph.D., Professor Emeritus at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, has become an Honorary Member of the American Laser Study Club (ALSC). Dr. Cobb’s widely known adherence to the science of periodontology is very much in line with the ALSC’s mission to revive true science- and evidence-based education in laser dentistry and surgery.

Dr. Cobb has authored and presented a number of papers on the use of lasers in periodontics. Among his latest publications is the article “Is There Clinical Benefit From Using a Diode or Nd:YAG Laser in the Treatment of Periodontitis?” (Cobb CM. J Periodontol. 2016 Oct;87(10):1117-31.).

Direct Quote from this Publication:

“Both cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias are concepts that initially appeared in the psychology literature. Simply stated, cognitive dissonance refers to an individual holding conflicting beliefs, whereas confirmation bias is the interpretation of information to confirm one’s beliefs and ignore information that may contradict such beliefs. The biologic sciences have adopted the concepts and now apply them to research evidence that seems in conflict with ‘everyday practice.’ At a very basic level, both concepts refer to a tendency to interpret information in a way that confirms one’s preconceptions while ignoring contradictions presented by the peer-reviewed evidence.

As applied to the issue of lasers and periodontal therapy, cognitive dissonance defines the confusion and conflicting philosophies expressed by ‘thought leaders’ in clinical dentistry when confronted by new information that conflicts with their existing beliefs. Many of the ‘experts‘ on laser periodontal therapy appear to have allowed their subjective selves to become dominant and thereby shape controversy into fact. This does not mean that expert opinions are never reliable. However, it does mean that clinicians should not depend solely on secondary sources for information on which they base treatment decisions. The clinician should also evaluate and make knowledgeable judgments of peer-reviewed research articles. Treatment decisions must be based on good evidence that can withstand hard and incisive questioning. Such evidence is not often obtained from the company sales representative or a clinician consultant representing the laser company.” - Charles M. Cobb, DDS, M.S., Ph.D.

About Dr. Cobb

Dr. Charles Cobb graduated from the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), School of Dentistry in 1964, with a Certificate of Specialty in Periodontics. In 1966 he received a Master of Science degree in Microbiology from UMKC. Following two years of active duty with the U.S. Navy, Dr. Cobb returned to school at Georgetown University, from where he graduated in 1971 with a Ph.D. in Anatomy (emphasis on microanatomy). Following his graduation from Georgetown, he held teaching and research positions at Louisiana State University and the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Dr. Cobb devoted 15 years to full-time private practice in periodontics and 17 years to academia. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and has published over 200 peer-reviewed papers and presented over 200 programs at regional, national and international meetings. Dr. Cobb recently concluded one year as the Interim Director of the Graduate Periodontics Program at UMKC. He served three years on the Board of Trustees of the American Academy of Periodontology and three years as the Academy’s Parliamentarian. In 2012, the American Academy of Periodontology recognized Dr. Cobb as the Outstanding Periodontal Educator. He is retired from the UMKC School of Dentistry as a Professor Emeritus. Dr. Cobb retired from the U. S. Army Reserves with the rank of Colonel and is one of the few Reservists to have received the “A” Specialty Designator from the Office of the U. S. Army Surgeon General and induction into the Order of Military Medical Merit.

About the American Laser Study Club

The American Laser Study Club (ALSC) was created to fill the void in the current Laser Dentistry and Laser Surgery education system, namely the science behind laser-tissue interaction. The “sound scientific basis and proven efficacy in order to ensure public safety” is one of the main eligibility requirements for the American Dental Association's CERP Recognition Standards and Procedures. Unfortunately, some laser dentistry educational programs and publications misrepresent certain aspects of soft and hard tissue laser science and safety. Such misrepresentations partially originate in the Laser Dentistry Curriculum Guidelines, which date back to the early 1990s, and lack numerous important laser-tissue interaction concepts, such as the Absorption Spectra; Hot Glass Tip; Plasma Plume, etc. The ALSC has designed its Curriculum based on The Study Guide of The American Board of Laser Surgery (ABLS). It overcomes the known limitations of many laser dentistry courses. The ALSC also provides help to clinicians who prepare for the Certification Exam with the ABLS.

Are you ready to smile a whole lot more than ever before?

There are a lot more teeth straightening options today than ever before and luckily for you, orthodontic advancements allow people of any age to correct the gaps in their teeth, crooked teeth and a lot more.Straightening your teeth in adulthood is easier as you have a lot more options due to more maturity and ability to care for their teeth.


Here are some teeth straightening options for adults:

  1. Invisalign
    Invisalign are a clear set of braces which cost more than other types of braces as they are very discreet, invisible as the name suggests. They are a series of clear, removable orthodontic aligners that are designed to straighten your teeth without the use of any wires or metal. Each aligner is custom designed for your tooth and slowly moves them into their correct places, after which it is switched out every two weeks. Invisalign usually takes a little longer than braces to give noticeable results but the advantage is that they can be taken out when eating.

  2. Lingual Braces
    Lingual braces are almost the same as traditional braces but are set behind the teeth which makes them very discreet as no one can really notice them back there. Lingual braces are a bit more expensive and also make it harder to keep your teeth clean as well as speaking as the braces are right up against your tongue.

  3. Damon Braces
    These braces designed with a bracket and wire system, making them very similar to both traditional and ceramic orthodontic ones. The main difference between the two is that they tend to use a slide mechanism with doors or clips that hold the archwires of the braces in place instead of rubber bands. Clips and doors are easier to clean as well as being less painful as they trap less food. These types of braces require less maintenance and upkeep as compared to other types of braces as well as having a shorter treatment period. These braces are available in both metal and ceramic but may not be suitable for everyone.

  4. Ceramic Braces
    Another alternative to invisible braces are clear ceramic or tooth-colored braces which seem to be more like retainers. Ceramic braces are very discreet and most people won’t be able to notice them, even from a few feet away. The archwire remains silver but the rest of the brackets and ligatures are either clear or tooth colored to make them discreet. The ligatures can become stained due to eating foods like black coffee but they’re switched out regularly so it does not affect much.

  5. Metal Braces
    These are the most traditional orthodontic braces which are made up of two basic high-grade stainless steel parts. Both these metal pieces which are the metal bracket against the tooth and the second is the metal wire that is threaded through the brackets to maintain a constant pressure on your teeth, pushing them in the right direction. This constant pressure on the improperly aligned teeth helps to move them back into their intended place gradually. Metal braces usually take the least amount of time to realign your teeth properly.

Associating braces with youngsters is a false stereotype as there is no age limit for any kind of corrective treatment. You can use braces to properly align your teeth as long as you keep your teeth and gums healthy and strong. The American Association of Orthodontics states that an increasing amount of people in their 60’s, 70’s and 80’s have started using braces. The best way to find out what type of braces best suit your health and personal needs is to schedule an appointment with your orthodontist.

Dental Implants

    “Yes! Dental Implants……………..Don’t miss life because of missing teeth”

Dental implants as we know them today were invented in 1952 by a Swedish orthopaedic surgeon named Per-Ingvar Branemark. Today, they are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement. The success rate for dental implants is close to 98%.

 Your doctor suggested a dental implant to replace a tooth, you immediately have many questions about implants including the process, total cost, and what to expect from the surgery. You can always ask your dentist these questions, but you may not think of important questions until you have already left the office. To ensure all your questions are answered before you get a dental implant, read our comprehensive list of the common questions (and the complete answers) prior to scheduling your surgery. Replacing a lost tooth is important to restore maximum function, maintaining the alignment of surrounding teeth and preserving the facial contours.

Your pearly whites don’t just look pretty, they are important place holders for each other. Over time, those teeth adjacent to a toothless gap can drift to fill the space and move out of alignment. An Implant is actually a tooth root replacement to which a separately fabricated crown is attached. For successful implantation, there must be a sufficient amount of healthy jaw bone to anchor the implant and the adjacent gums and teeth must be healthy.

  Some common facts regarding dental implants are:-

-          Dental implants are the next big thing to your healthy natural teeth.

-          Dental implants are built to last that makes them your best long-term, cost effective solution.

-          Dental implants allow you to enjoy life without worrying about your teeth.

-          Dental implants retain your natural face shape and smile.

-          Dental implants protect your healthy bone.

-          Dental implants keep your teeth in your mouth – not in a cup like dentures.

-          Dental implants allow you to speak easy so you are not embarrassed.

-          Dental implants allow you to eat your favourite foods.

-          No cavities with dental implants.

-          Dental implants are more predictable than other repair and restoration methods.

 

-          What exactly is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a threaded titanium screw which is surgically placed in the jaw bone. Many people incorrectly believe that a dental implant makes up the entire replacement tooth; in fact, the implant replaces the root only. The dentist places the crown or cap on top of the replacement root.

 

-          Why do people get Dental Implants?

If a person is missing a tooth or a series of teeth, a dental implant may be suggested. Missing teeth can cause a number of problems including difficulties in chewing or eating. Advantages of having dental implants are:-

- Dental implant offers an independent support and retention to crowns and bridge work.

- Dental implant preserves the natural tooth tissue by avoiding the need to cut down the adjacent teeth like in  conventional bridgework.

- Dental implants will preserve bone and significantly reduces bone deterioration that results in loss of jaw bone height.

Once one gets dental implants, they no longer have to struggle with gaps caused by missing teeth. These people feel more confident in their smile and can attend social functions without fear of uncomfortable situations. Dental implants give one a beautiful smile, more confidence and the ability to resume eating solid foods without worry. 

 

-          Does the body ever reject an Implant?

Very rarely does a person’s body reject a dental implant. The jawbone readily accepts the implant and the few rejections that do occur are caused by rare allergies to the titanium alloy that makes up the implant. Another reason for implant failure comes from the person’s care after surgery. Without great oral hygiene, regular teeth fail and eventually fall out. A dental implant is no different. Taking care of your teeth, even the implants, prevents gum decay and structure failure in the long run.

- People suffering from uncontrolled chronic disorders such as diabetes or heart disease

- Patients who have had radiation therapy to head or neck area need to be evaluated on an individual basis.

 It is contraindicated in cancer, immune disorders, pregnant and person below 16 years of age.

 

-          Are Dental Implants noticeable?

Not even you will be able to tell you have a dental implant. Implants are made to feel completely natural in the mouth. The dentist matches the colour and the shape of your other teeth to the crown on the implant. The only way to discover a dental implant involves a radiograph (x –ray) to show the metal that replaced the root of the tooth.

 

-          Are dental implants safe?

Dental implants have been proven safe for patients whose health allows for surgery. They provide a longer-lasting alternative to a bridge or dentures and restore comparatively more functionality to teeth. Persons who smoke or suffer from bone loss issues may not be a good candidate for dental implants. Speak to your dentist to see if you qualify for surgery.

 

-          What is the procedure of placing a Dental Implant?

 The entire process takes around 4-6 months and is done in two stages, unless more complex surgery is required.

 During the 1st appointment, your surgeon inserts the implant into the jaw bone. Then the surgeon covers the implant with gum tissue to allow the implant to heal properly. Placing a single implant may take as little as 30 minutes, while a complex surgery requiring multiple replacements can take more than 1-2 hours. After the implant is placed, the surgeon sends you home with a temporary bridge or denture  so that your teeth appear cosmetically intact.

2-3 months later, you return to the dentist for fabrication of the crown on the dental implant .Measurements are taken for the same and 2 weeks later, you come in for the final fittings. This may take just 1 appointment or you may need to come in multiple times to ensure the correct size, colour and proportion of the new tooth.

 

-          How long will Dental Implants last?

Dental implants last up to 40 years if taken care of properly. They often last a life time for patients that regularly brush, floss and follow the dental recommendations made at their checkups. While a dentist cannot guarantee the long term success of a dental implant, the dentist can provide guidelines and suggestions to better care for your teeth. These suggestions are based on proper hygiene procedures, your own genetic history including diseases that run in your family and your nutritional habits.

May be it's time to update your look and achieve the smile you have always dreamed of, but how do you choose the right cosmetic dentist?

When researching cosmetic dentists, you can follow these guidelines to help you find someone qualified to perform the work you want done.

1. Referrals - Do you have friends or family who had cosmetic dental work done? Ask them about their experience with the doctor and how they feel about the results. If they feel happy about the work, get the name of the doctor.

2. Credentials - Every dentist has a biography page on the office's website. Read through the doctor's biography and find out where he / she earned his / her degree. What areas he / she specialized in and what type of continuing education courses he / she had taken. The most qualified cosmetic dentists will have membership in the American academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. These doctors stay ahead of their competitors by staying informed of the latest techniques and technology available for cosmetic dentistry. Doctors who are accredited members of the AACD have received even more training and have a greater level of expertise in cosmetic dentistry.

3. Specialization - If you seek one particular cosmetic procedure, you can search for dentists who specialize in that area of dentistry. For instance, if you worry about chip off tooth and a gap in front teeth, a quick look at Dr.Krinita Motwani's biography on our website would show you that she does specialize in cosmetic dentistry. This would make her a very good choice for the work you want to have completed.

4. Visuals - Most dentists who specialize in cosmetic dentistry will feature before and after pictures of their work on the practice's website. If a dentist does not have photos on his website be sure to ask for some so you can assess the quality of work he / she does.

5. Testimonials - Reading other patient's testimonials and looking at before and after photos are good ways to gauge the quality of a cosmetic dentist's work. Spend some time exploring their website to check out success stories.

Dental crowns

Dental crowns are used for a variety of reasons. It could be because your tooth has been damaged due to decay and not able to support the tooth filling. When a child is at a risk of suffering from tooth decay in the future because he or she is not able to maintain the required oral hygiene, dental crowns help protect the teeth. These are also then the perfect way to reduce the number of times a child may require to be given general anesthesia for dental procedures.

Types of dental crowns

There are several types of dental crowns available today and here are some you can learn more about when you visit your dentist.

Stainless steel crowns

These are prefabricated and can be used as temporary crowns or even permanent teeth. These are used in place to protect a tooth or filling while a permanent crown is being made. It is a popular choice for children when it is fitted over primary teeth and can be removed later. When the primary tooth falls out to make way for the permanent one, the crown will come off naturally together with the old tooth. The reason for its popularity with children’s teeth is that it is cost effective and does not require frequent visits to the dentist.

Metal crowns

These are metal alloy or gold alloy dental crowns. When using metal crowns, there is no need to remove too much of the tooth structure. These crowns can withstand the force of biting and chewing as well and hence have a longer life.

All resin crowns

These are not expensive and do not have a long life either since they are prone to fractures when compared to other crowns.

Metal fused with porcelain

These are made so that the color matches that of the adjacent tooth. However, when compared to metal or resin crowns, these can wear the opposite teeth. Porcelain is also prone to breaking or chipping off.

All ceramic or all porcelain crowns

"Kids First Visit to the Dental Clinic

                                "Where rising stars grow shining smiles"

Congratulations on the arrival of your little one! Having a baby is an exciting time as there are so many things to know and do, especially if you are a first time parent. We know keeping them happy while you try to get some sleep is at the top of the list! It is not surprising that you probably haven't even thought of what to do when your baby gets his / her first tooth. At the first dental visit, we will look at your child's early oral health and make recommendations about the best way to care for his / her teeth. The earlier that the issues are caught, the easier to resolve and to ensure everything is progressing appropriately. We have seen the problems that can arise from delaying treatment, and we take pride in helping families prevent unnecessary ailments.

1. When should I take my child to the dentist for the first check-up?

"First visit by first birthday" is the general rule. To prevent dental problems, your child should see a pediatric dentist ( specialists in dentistry for children and teens ) when the first tooth appears, usually between 6 and 12 months of age, certainly no later than his / her first birthday.

2. How can I help my child through the teething stage?

Sore gums when teeth erupt are part of the normal eruption process. The discomfort is eased for some children by use of a teething biscuit, a piece of a toast or a frozen teething ring. Your pharmacy should also have medications that can be rubbed on the gums to reduce the discomfort.

3. How should I clean my baby's teeth?

A toothbrush with soft bristles and a small head, especially one designed for infants, is the best choice for infants. Brushing at least once a day, at bed time, will remove plaque bacteria that can lead to decay.

4. When should my child start using toothpaste?

Do not use fluoridated toothpaste until 3 years of age. Earlier than that, clean your child's teeth with water and a soft - bristled toothbrush. After age 3, parents should supervise brushing .Use no more than a pea - sized amount of toothpaste and make sure children do not swallow excess toothpaste.

5. Can thumb sucking be harmful for my child's teeth?

Thumb and Pacifier sucking habits that go on for a long period of time can create crowded, crooked teeth or bite problems. If they are still sucking their thumbs or fingers when the permanent teeth arrive, a mouth appliance may be recommended by your pediatric dentist. Most children stop these habits on their own.

6. If my child gets a cavity in a baby tooth, should it still be filled?

Primary or "Baby'' teeth are important for many reasons. Not only do they help to children speak clearly and chew naturally, they also aid in forming a path that permanent teeth can follow when they are ready to erupt. Some of them are necessary until a child is 12 years old or longer. Pain, infection of the gums and jaws, impairment of general health and premature loss of teeth are just a few of the problems that can happen when baby teeth are neglected. Also, because tooth decay is really an infection and will spread, decay on baby teeth can cause decay on permanent teeth. Proper care of baby teeth is instrumental in enhancing the health of your child.

7. How do dental sealants work and why are they so important?

Dental Sealants are an effective way to prevent cavities especially for those children with a history of tooth decay. Sealants work by filling in the crevasses on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. This prevents food particles from getting caught in the teeth causing cavities. The pediatric dentist applies the invisible protector by drying and conditioning the teeth painting on the sealant and then light curing it to harden. The application is fast and comfortable and can effectively protect teeth for many years.

8. What is the role of dental fluoride in pediatric dentistry?

  Along with dental sealants, dental fluoride treatment is one of the most effective ways to prevent tooth decay and maintain excellent dental health in children. Fluoride treatments are both safe and effective in decreasing the cavity prevalence in children by 95% specifically, when combined with dental sealants. Making the tooth more impervious to acid attacks caused by sugars and plaque bacteria in the mouth, fluoride acts as a shield for the outer enamel layer of the teeth and actually has the ability to reverse the early signs of a dental decay. Ask your pediatric dentist about professional fluoride treatment for your child.

9. How safe are dental x - rays? Why are they so important?

There is very little risk in dental x - rays. You actually get more radiation by getting out in the sun for 10 minutes than you get with a digital radio graph. Pediatric dentists are especially careful to limit the amount of radiation to which children are exposed. Lead aprons and digital radiography are used to ensure safety and minimize the amount of radiation. Without x - rays the dentists may not be able to see cavities that are forming between a child's teeth. With an x - ray the dentists can detect a cavity early on and treat it with a small filling. Without an x - ray the dentists will not be able to detect the cavity until it is so large that it may require a crown to be placed.

10. What should I do if my child knocks out a permanent tooth?

The most important thing to do is to remain calm. Then find the tooth, gently place it in a glass of saline solution or milk to keep it moist until you get to the dentist’s office. To avoid damaging the root, hold the tooth only by the crown. Thoroughly examine your child’s mouth for fragments of the tooth if it’s broken, and immediately take your child and the glass to the pediatric dentist.

Teeth are very essential part of the human body. Teeth helps us in chewing our food. They also give a proper shape to our face, help in speech, thereby enhancing our confidence. If for some reason a few or all of your permanent teeth have either fallen out or been removed, then you might be using artificial teeth i.e. dentures. If you’re missing all of your natural teeth, then you might be using complete false teeth; or if you are missing just one tooth or a few teeth, then you might be using partial false teeth.

 

If you have dentures or false teeth, then it is very important to take care of them. We have jotted down some tips that will help you to take proper care of your artificial teeth.

Tips to take proper care of your dentures

1.  Rinse your dentures after you eat & thoroughly clean them daily:

In order to remove the remains of food particle being stuck in your false teeth, rinse them thoroughly after you eat.

If your artificial teeth get plaque, then it can lead to problems in the tissues like infection and irritation. There are special types of soft bristled brushes available for your false teeth, not the one you use for regular teeth. You can use regular hand soap, mildly abrasive tooth paste or the dental paste for cleaning of your dentures.

 

Avoid

·   Do not use denture cleaners in your mouth.

·   Do not wear your false teeth for long.

·   Don’t use abrasive toothpaste for whitening of your false teeth.

 

2.   Handle your dentures with utmost care

 

Dentures can break easily and therefore you need to take extra care of them. Try cleaning them over folded towel or in a bowl of water. While you are not wearing your false teeth keep them out of reach of your children or pets.

 

Avoid

·   Don’t use toothpicks while wearing dentures.

·   Don’t use hard brushes or strong cleaners for cleaning your false teeth.

 

 

3.  Give them a break from your mouth

 

Take off your dentures before going to bed.  This will relax your mouth muscles.

 

If you don’t have an option to take off your artificial teeth at night, then make sure you remove them for at least six to eight hours at another time of the day. It is recommended to soak your dentures in warm water if they have metal clasps. If they don’t have metal clasps, you can use half vinegar – half water solution or a special denture cleanser. Also, take note of manufacturer’s instructions on soaking and cleaning solutions. Soaking will help you get your false teeth free from stains, plaque, tartar and bacteria.

 

Avoid

·   Avoid Denture-soaking solution to be swallowed. It can cause vomiting, nausea, etc.

·   Don’t use hot or boiling water for cleaning your artificial teeth.

 

4.   Watch for changes in the fitting of your dentures

 

The gums and bones in our mouth change over time. This can lead to an improper fitting of your false teeth. You should immediately check-in with your dentist.

 

Improper fitting of your dentures can cause abdominal gas from swallowing air. It is very important to get checked with your dentist as dentures that don’t fit properly can be a sign of periodontal disease.

 

Avoid

·  Don’t take too long to visit dentist if you encounter improper fit of your artificial teeth.

·  Don’t bend or damage the plastic of your artificial teeth while cleaning.

·  Don’t mend your false teeth yourself.

 

5.  Take Nutritious Diet and look after your whole mouth

 

Most of the times it happens that your false teeth make it difficult or painful to bite and chew fresh fruits and vegetables. Because of this, there is a risk you’re missing out on essential nutrients. Therefore, make sure that you are eating a well-balanced diet including nutrients essential for your body.

A healthy diet results in a healthy mouth.

 

Avoid

·  Don’t eat fruits with cover. Peel off the outer cover or drink fruit juices to remain healthy.

 

Over To You

It is advised to schedule regular dental checkups, like any other health intervention, to keep your false teeth healthy and clean. The dentist will examine your dentures along with checking inside of your mouth.

 

At Clear Choice Dental, you can feel relaxed that your family will be treated professionally and with utmost care including dentures. To discuss your oral health and denture options, call Clear Choice Dental at (08) 6001 6150 today or schedule your appointment at the website.
