What Are Porcelain Veneers?
If you have ever seen some of the movie stars smile and it looks too good to be true – guess what… that’s more than likely the case. Not to say that some of them didn’t go through the meticulous process of having orthodontic fixtures installed when they were children to correct any inconsistencies with the spacing of their teeth. And also not to say that there are not a moribund amount of people who naturally are blessed with perfect teeth or who maintain them well with proper dental hygiene and regular visits to their dentist. Just to say the term “Hollywood Smile” emanated and originated from somewhere, and that somewhere is the A-list entourage.

Gum Boils – Why You Should See a Dentist Immediately
What Are Gum Boils?
A gum boil (gingival abscess) is a way of your body expelling or trying to expel bacteria and infection in the teeth, pulp chambers of the teeth and from the root canals of the mouth. Since there is very limited space in those areas, gum boils can form when infection is present as a way for the body to drain the infection. Gum boils generally mean that a tooth or root has become infected and requires treatment. In most cases, gum boils are the distinguishing sign of an abscessed tooth. If an abscessed tooth is the cause of the gum boils, your dentist will consider performing a root canal. A lot of people are frightened about a root canal because they infamously associate this type of very common dental procedure with a lot of pain and discomfort. But such is actually not the case whatsoever.

Loathe String Flossing? Water Flossing Could be the Answer
Flossing is not fun for everyone. Perhaps it’s safe to say that most people do not get pumped up about flossing their teeth. And when you are tired, in a hurry or just don’t feel like flossing (but you know that you have to for good oral health), it can feel like another monotonous chore. Some people are just terrible about flossing their teeth, and when you are not flossing your teeth daily at least one time in between meals or before bed, plaque, tartar and germs can infest your teeth, contributing to significant oral health risks and compromising the health of your teeth, gums and mouth. But there is an answer for those who are not fond of string flossing: water flossing.

Cheap Dental Crown Phoenix – Three Things to Mark On Your Checklist
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are molded and created caps for teeth that are used to replace broken, damaged, decaying or infected teeth after they have been treated. There is a variety of different types of dental crowns, including: all ceramic crowns, porcelain fused to metal crowns, and full metal crowns. A large cavity in a tooth may require that a dental crown be molded and cemented in place after treatment to prevent further damage to the tooth and to restore the structural integrity. Dental crowns like veneers are also used to rehabilitate smiles. The two most common uses for dental crowns are to restore a tooth after a root canal therapy procedure has been performed, and to correct a smile using veneers (cosmetic). Dental crowns are used to restore a tooth and prevent an extraction of the tooth, thus preserving a smile and teeth for lifetime.

Bad Breath – When It’s Time to See Your Dentist
What Causes Bad Breath?
Bad breath – it’s the last thing that you want to have to deal with after your busy day. That icky and yucky, odiferous feeling and taste in your mouth that literally feels like there is an ocean of organisms inhabiting your teeth. Wouldn’t you know it, bad breath is actually caused by organisms; microscopic organisms called bacteria, of which there are more than 600 types of bacterium that love to call the mouth home. Many of these bacteria consider the tongue their primary destination, and love to occupy the back of the tongue, where it is dark, warm and wet; the ideal breeding ground for bacteria. So here is what actually causes bad breath – in most cases. A majority of the bacteria emit what are called “malodorous compounds.” These compounds, combined with fatty acids and amino acids that break down proteins, are what cause that distinguishable odor from bad breath. As a matter of fact, in about 80-85% of all cases of bad breath—it can be directly attributed to these odiferous bacterium and malodorous compounds. Aside from bacteria, there are some other causes of bad breath.
