The Big News in Dentistry: No More Root Canals?

New Study Shows That Dentists Can Predict Heart Disease - Before It Happens!

Betty White's Brilliant Smile.....

Betty White's smile is so youthful and impish, the 89-year-old can get away with saying the most outrageous things.

What You Should Know About Teeth Whitening

Why Teeth Stain There are many causes of tooth discoloration. The most common causes include consumption of staining substances (smoking, coffee, tea, soy sauce, berries and colas), tetracycline (antibiotic) staining, excessive fluoride, old fillings, aging and genetics. Store-bought whitening toothpastes can remove external stains that are on teeth, but stains that are deep within teeth won't bleach out. Whitening toothpastes and professional dental cleanings will not change the internal color of teeth, nor will they be able to remove intrinsic stains located deep within the teeth. How Does Whitening Work? There are basically two ways to whiten teeth professionally--customized whitening ...

Grinding and Clenching: How Bad Can It Really Be?

Our upper and lower teeth are supposed to glide together smoothly, touching only when we are chewing food. Unnatural grinding or clenching can cause wearing and cracking of the teeth, as well as serious jaw impairment. The reality is that all of us grind our teeth on occasion ? when we are angry or anxious, for instance, or when our sleep is disturbed. But when we grind our teeth on a regular basis, we have a condition called bruxism (from the Greek bryx, meaning a ?gnashing of the teeth?). If bruxing persists, as it does in an estimated 20 percent of ...

A Dental Shift: Implants Instead of Bridges

From the New York Times If I have one serious regret about my age, it is that my permanent teeth developed before New York, my hometown, got fluoridated water. I first lost a permanent molar to decay in my early 20s, and the resulting bridge has had to be replaced several times in subsequent decades, ultimately as a four-part apparatus. Now that has to go as well. Because I could not floss and clean properly under the bridge and between the supporting crowns, I developed a severe periodontal infection. Dr. Michael Zidile, the young periodontist I consulted, took one look at ...

Grinding and Clenching: How Bad Can It Really Be?

Our upper and lower teeth are supposed to glide together smoothly, touching only when we are chewing food. Unnatural grinding or clenching can cause wearing and cracking of the teeth, as well as serious jaw impairment. The reality is that all of us grind our teeth on occasion ? when we are angry or anxious, for instance, or when our sleep is disturbed. But when we grind our teeth on a regular basis, we have a condition called bruxism (from the Greek bryx, meaning a ?gnashing of the teeth?). If bruxing persists, as it does in an estimated 20 percent of ...

What You Should Know About Teeth Whitening

Why Teeth Stain There are many causes of tooth discoloration. The most common causes include consumption of staining substances (smoking, coffee, tea, soy sauce, berries and colas), tetracycline (antibiotic) staining, excessive fluoride, old fillings, aging and genetics. Store-bought whitening toothpastes can remove external stains that are on teeth, but stains that are deep within teeth won't bleach out. Whitening toothpastes and professional dental cleanings will not change the internal color of teeth, nor will they be able to remove intrinsic stains located deep within the teeth. How Does Whitening Work? There are basically two ways to whiten teeth professionally--customized whitening ...
