Teeth that go missing in Central Leeds

Wednesday, November 28th, 2012

There are many ways your teeth can go AWOL in central Leeds, but whether it be by poor oral hygiene and tooth decay or from injury, the point is that you should do all you can to plug up the gap quickly, otherwise, there is a chance that the surrounding teeth could suffer, become infected and hence lead to further loss in the future. If your tooth has been knocked out and you can save it, chances are that if you get to a dentist quickly, it can be popped back in. But if the tooth has gone altogether, you are going to have to have a replacement made. This can come in several guises: partial dentures are becoming more and more popular when a tooth has gone missing because they are easy and cheap, plus they work perfectly. However, if you fancy something more permanent, then the other options are either a dental bridge or to go all out and have a dental implant screwed into your jaw and topped with a crown. In all cases, they are all perfect in what they do and aside from the aesthetics to your smile and face that they maintain and keep you looking young: from a health angle, they also help to retain the ‘bite’ of the mouth so that the pressure on your jaw joints is kept to a minimum.

Good Dental Toothpastes in the City of Leeds

Tuesday, November 27th, 2012

There are many types of toothpaste that you can buy in the city of Leeds that do all manner of things for your teeth and any condition that you may be going through. Gum disease, plaque and tooth decay are always going to be a constant threat to your oral hygiene, so many of the latest toothpastes have been designed to tackle these problems. Pretty much all the brand toothpastes contain fluoride: this is a mineral that is considered to help maintain the strength of the enamel in the teeth. But if you have sensitive teeth, smoke, have problems with your gums or even want to put a little zest into your smile, you can buy toothpaste that will actually whiten your teeth as you brush. Your dentist can help you your choices and even guide you towards one that will suit you because it is a bit of a minefield. For example, there has been a big backlash about the use of fluoride in toothpaste because aside from the good things it does, it’s still poisonous, so from this has sprung a range of fluoride-free toothpastes combined with herbal remedies to do the same job for your teeth. The beautiful thing about the range of dental toothpastes around right now is that there is toothpaste waiting for you out there; all you have to do is track it down.

Leeds and the Dental Veneer

Monday, November 26th, 2012

You have to ask yourself from time to time just what it is that bothers you as you get older and the loss of your youth can drive you up the wall. Your teeth are a perfect example of this because if they start to fade, then so does your smile and inevitably, the light that shines from your soul. However, it’s not necessarily the end game if you are prepared to take a trip down cosmetic dentistry lane in Leeds. Yes your teeth will show signs of wear and tear over the years- cracks will develop, they may look worn down and the gums may recede but all this can be rectified in a couple of weeks if you have dental veneers fitted- these beauties can turn back the clock. All you have to do is get your dentist to prep your teeth and have a few moulds taken so that your fittings can be made up in a lab somewhere and when they are done and returned, they will be cemented into place and you will look stunning. And let’s not underestimate the rejuvenation and confidence that having veneers fitted can do that soul of yours. The moment the dentist holds up that mirror and you see yourself for the first time with this amazing new look….priceless!

The Empress Veneer in the City of Leeds

Saturday, November 24th, 2012

If you are going to have anything done cosmetically in the city of Leeds, you’d like to think that it is going to last. The same can be said about your teeth: there are so many promises from dentists to put the smile back on your face and hopefully, turn back time- the Empress veneer is a great way to do this. A lot of the problems that destroy the way that you smile come from ageing: your gums can start to recede, the length of your teeth can diminish with wear; gaps may appear between your teeth and the general sheen can discolour- if you opt for an Empress veneer, then you will turn back the clock. You will have to undergo some preparation first which will involve reducing the thickness of your teeth so that the veneer can be fitted: the veneer is a thick and durable covering made from a strong porcelain Lucite material that can last for a good 15 years if you look after them, but the finish to your smile is out of this world. Porcelain by nature gives off an incredible natural hue that rather mirrors the enamel in your teeth anyway, but you can decide in the end how you want them to look and how they should be coloured and shaped. Remember- 15 years plus, so get it right and you will be smiling with confidence.

Shaping your Teeth in Leeds

Friday, November 23rd, 2012

As a person in Leeds, you will strive to do what you can for yourself with what you are born with. Not all of us are dealt a fair hand, but hey, we carry on. But thanks to the world of cosmetics and indeed, cosmetic dentistry, you can alter the way you look to give you what you desire. Teeth can be a particularly thorny subject: the way they grow can be inherited so you don’t really get a choice. But dentistry has recognised this and can give you the smile that suits you and teeth contouring can eradicate all the things that you hate about yourself. If your teeth are crooked, it is not necessary to go down the road of braces or aligners when you can have the teeth re-shaped; you may have to have a little more cosmetic work done in the form of veneers or dental bonding but it will all be over with in a couple of weeks as opposed to braces that can take ages. Similarly, if there are certain teeth in your mouth that just annoy you because some are longer and look awkward when you smile, again teeth contouring could well be the answer. It isn’t a painful process and you can be in and out of the dentists chair in as little as an hour.

Choosing White Fillings in Central Leeds

Thursday, November 22nd, 2012

The in thing right now in cosmetic dentistry in central Leeds is to get your teeth looking as white and bright and as natural as possible and there are many wonderful ways you can get this done. But along with this comes the need to have your fillings white as well. Now if you are part of the modern generation, this really isn’t a problem because these days, you will get the choice between white fillings and amalgam ones. But if you want natural, it will always be white. Of course, that doesn’t help people who already have grey fillings: a dentist would be very loathe to remove a good filling for vanity purposes, but, they can be altered a little and covered with a bit of cosmetic bonding. However, white composite fillings for all their natural-ness; don’t have the strength that an amalgam has. They tend to shrink when fitted so the shelf life is a little limited; hence, they are more prone to falling out. However, like most things in the dental world, they are getting better the more they evolve and considering that amalgams are being phased out over health issues, white fillings are the future anyway…and who doesn’t want that natural look eh?

Hugging your Hygienist in the City of Leeds

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012

As dentistry has progressed, a lot of work that the ‘average Jo’ dentist once did to cover all of your problems has now been sub contracted out to specialised fields in order that you, the patient, gets the best possible treatment in order to keep your mouth healthy and behind every good dentist these days in the city of Leeds these days, you will find a beautiful hygienist following closely behind. Yes your dentist will check you for the basic problems, but it is your hygienist that will get up close and personal with you. These are the people you really want to get on board with if you have concerns about your oral health. They can clean your teeth and gums by going deep below the gum line in a way you’d never thought possible, and then treat any disease in your mouth. They will take x-rays first so that they can ascertain problems so that they know exactly what needs doing, and if they can’t do it, point you to someone that can. But the best thing about a hygienist is that once they have evaluated your problems, they will help you to pinpoint where you have gone wrong and ensure that it doesn’t happen again by planning a future for you; from what you eat to what you do on a daily basis. A hygienist is all about your oral health from now and in the future.

Superb Orthodontics in Central Leeds

Monday, November 19th, 2012

The world of dentistry has many different areas of speciality, all of them designed to ensure that you, as a patient, get the best from your treatment: orthodontics is one of these branches. Most people in central Leeds will struggle with crooked teeth at some point and if the problem isn’t rectified, there is a chance that your jaw joints could suffer from a bad occlusion or ‘bite’ in the future. This is the job of an orthodontist. As your teeth develop in the early years, your dentist will monitor your teeth for growth, and it’s a tricky time because there are a lot of things happening all at once- especially when your second teeth come through. If any abnormalities arise at this stage, it will determine how your teeth grow in the future and for most of us, we will need a little tooth alignment. The fitting of braces is a tempestuous time for any child (and some adults too), but your orthodontist is there to cover all bases for you. There is a brace or aligner for all occasions; some are more technical than others but then the type you get depends on the intricacy of the work that needs doing. However, the work done at this stage by the orthodontist will ensure that you teeth and your occlusion will get you through life.

The truth about Amalgam Fillings in the City of Leeds

Sunday, November 18th, 2012

Unless you are the luckiest person in the city of Leeds, most people will have a filling or two at some point in their lives and historically, this would be done with a grey, amalgam filling. This type of filling is very robust and can take more forces that the average tooth can and it has always been thought of as the perfect answer to the problem tooth decay: once done it can pretty much last you for life. The results have always seemed favourable for amalgam, but, grey is not today’s colour, white is and the lightening bolt of what’s fashionable means that most people try to avoid amalgam fillings if they can in order to get the most ‘natural’ smile they can. However, a more sinister reason behind avoiding amalgam has surfaced. The materials used in this filling have a hint of poison within and in some countries, this filling has been banned. Now, if you compare amalgam to the latest dandy white fillings around today, there is no competition when it comes to practicality- amalgam wins every time. And as for the inherent poisons that may possibly cause problems for you in the future, then just ask your 80 something grandparents about their fillings: they may well still have them in and let’s face it, swapping amalgam for the latest en-vogue fillings will make you look great, but it isn’t going to put years on your life and at the end of the day, you want something that is going to last, and amalgam fillings do this.

Fresh and fruity Breath in Leeds

Saturday, November 17th, 2012

There are many ways you can keep your breath fresh and fruity in Leeds Fand as long as you keep on top of the game, you have no troubles at all. Everything that you do to yourself should be done in moderation and with a modicum of balance. Your diet is very important to your breath: having a good one will help bolster your immune system and allow your saliva to get to work on those nasty, pungent bacteria that build up in your mouth- and always drink a lot of water. Oral hygiene is also important in keeping your mouth fresh, but having a great regime each day will help stave of tooth decay and gum disease- two of the main protagonists behind bad breath once they get a hold. Keeping the cap on your lifestyle and bad habits will also reduce any risk of foul smells coming out of your mouth: smoking will always tarnish your breath, as will heavy drinking and recreational drugs- again, moderation. But on a daily basis and along with a good cleaning programme, the chewing of gum and sucking on sweets, plus the use of herbal products and the chewing of mint can only be good in the quest for fresh breath.
