Getting back to normal with a Dental Crown in Central Leeds

Tuesday, January 21st, 2014

3943593_blogDental crowns have been kicking around central Leeds and plying their trade for decades, helping to restore the smiles of the masses. Crowns are used to repair your teeth after injury, damaged cause by tooth decay or even to replace a tooth that has been lost. Such restoration is essential in order to keep your bite true and prevent further complications in the future; they will also help to maintain your vanity whenever you open your mouth. Once you have been repaired and prepared, you will be measured up for your crown and once it has been made, it is a simple procedure to set it into place. You do have a choice of materials from which you can have your crown made from. Pure porcelain are the most popular as they tend to fit in perfectly with the natural look of the mouth; for strength, you can also go for porcelain-over-metal. The other popular material is gold; as well as having the ‘wow’ factor it too is very strong and can take anything that is thrown at it. Aside from all of this though, crowns are an essential part of dentistry and if you need one, you need one, as we are talking about the health of your oral future here.

Lovely Lasers in Leeds

Sunday, January 19th, 2014

585986_blogIf anything has come along to ease the worries and fears of any patient who has to have something done at dentists in Leeds, it’s the laser. Since this was introduced in the nineties, it has revolutionised all range of procedures in the surgery. It doesn’t have the bone shattering affect that a drill has, nor does it do the damage left by using a scalpel. It is also far less painful than these traditional techniques and has greatly reduced the need to use anaesthetics during treatments. The applications of the laser are amazing: it can be used with pinpoint accuracy to place dental implants and doing tricky jobs like root canals. Lasers can burn at tissue efficiently in order to tackle wisdom teeth that are submerged, remove tissue that is blighted by gum disease and is exceptional for shaping excess gums; it is also brilliant when used for teeth whitening techniques. The reason why this technique is the new kid on the block is because it does so little damage to gum tissue, the teeth and to the bone; this means that healing afterwards is fast and less traumatic. If you are in trouble and things in your mouth are playing you up, find a dentist who uses this type of equipment because you will never want to go back to the bad old days of the drill and scalpel- once bitten, you’ll be smitten!

CAD/CAM Technology in the Central Leeds

Saturday, January 18th, 2014

4070440_blogIt sometimes takes your breath away at just how far dental treatments have come since the joy of computers hit the surgeries in central Leeds and in fact, all over the world. They have revolutionised dental procedures and you can be treated so fast these days; CAD/CAM technology epitomises this. If you are in need of a crown, a veneer or two, a new implant fitting or a dental bridge, this would normally take a couple of weeks to make and then fit, and should it go wrong, the fitting would have to be sent off again to be adjusted. With CAD/CAM, everything is done in-house and all of this can be done on the spot- even if something goes wrong; on average, most of these fittings can be designed, made and fitted in around the hour- perfect if you have little time to spare in a busy day. You go in there and have your mouth prepared and then digitally imaged; these pictures are sent to a computer programme that designs that part you need. This info is now sent to a milling machine next door which will create your fitting from a block of ceramics or resin. It will fire the fitting and glaze it to suit the colour of the rest of your teeth. Then it is simply cemented into place….that’s it, a beautifully restored smile in next to no time- blooming marvellous eh?

Preparing for Wisdom Teeth in the City of Leeds

Friday, January 17th, 2014

3492515_blogJust when you think you have come through the worst that growing up with your teeth has thrown at you- you know, decay and fillings, secondary teeth coming through, braces and the like- BANG, wisdom teeth, and for most people this can be a mare of a time. Wisdom teeth don’t play by any rules; some may come through perfectly normal and can be with you for life, but generally, the modern mouth hasn’t evolved to have enough room for these big boys to come through, and as soon as the teeth get wind of this, they tend to grow in all directions and they may not even show at all- this is especially common with the lower wisdom teeth. This can be excruciatingly painful and the only remedy is to have them taken out. Now if you have this done, you may as well get it over with and get all four taken out at once. This will mean being hospitalised for a few days as it is a very tricky operation and there is a lot of force involved at removing these baddies. You’ll need to look after yourself and be very aware of your oral hygiene during this delicate time, just until the stitches can come out. The only solace here is this is the last serious thing that you and your teeth will naturally have to endure for the rest of your life in the city of Leeds…..he says!

Popping a Knocked-out Tooth back in place in Leeds

Thursday, January 16th, 2014

318711_blogIt may or may not happen, but if you have a tooth knocked out at any time, it’s best you are aware of what to do should it happen, because what a lot of people may not be aware of is that if is popped back in within around 12 hours, it will naturally bed-in again and you’ll be as right as rain. If this happens to you, and this is easier said than done, try not to panic. If you can, you can put it back in yourself, but normally you need to get somewhere in Leeds- like a dentist or hospital, where it can be done for you. It is imperative you do not touch the root when you pick it up; if possible put the tooth in milk. If you can’t do this, then simply slip it under the tongue or between your cheek and gums, as the saliva in your mouth will naturally protect it. Time is of the essence here; by having your tooth placed back into place again means you will be saving yourself money from getting it replaced by a bridge or a partial denture in the future. Find out as much as you can about this- the more you know, the better it will be for you to make an informed decision should you find yourself in this shock of a situation.

Looking out for your TMJ in Central Leeds

Wednesday, January 15th, 2014

3520145_blogYou may not even realise just how delicate your mouth is and may take it for granted that it will be there for you, whatever you chuck at it- that is until you get a wake up call when something goes wrong. The most delicate of spots in the mouth are the temporomandibular joints (TMJ); this is the point where the lower jaw meets the upper jaw and they are quite tiny and they rely on the muscles around them in order to operate freely. They can cope with you nattering away and eating your heart out each day in central Leeds, but what they don’t need is to be exposed to other extra-curricular dangers. If you love physical sports, you need to ensure you protect your mouth as well as you can; teeth grinding can also wreck these joints. If you find your jaws clicking or aching all of the time, you must act fast because you are thin ice now; you don’t want to start having surgery, because that is what it will take to repair badly damaged jaw-joints- ironically the term TMJ is what is used for the condition of damaged joints. Worse still, injury here can also impact through all areas of your head, down through the neck and into your upper back- and then you truly are in serious trouble. No-one is saying that you should stop having fun in life, but just be aware of the delicate nature of your mouth and jaws and protect them the best you can.

What’s behind Discolouration in Leeds?

Monday, January 13th, 2014

1567900_blogYou would like to keep your teeth looking as bright and as sparkly as you can in Leeds, after all, they are one of the first things that others will look at as soon as you open your mouth. However, they can often become discoloured and although you can remedy this with whitening techniques and if need be, have veneers fitted- you should really look into just why your teeth have got into this state in the first place. It is all about lifestyle and diet. Your teeth are quite resilient but there is a limit to what they can take. If you are a bit wayward with your oral hygiene, you are going to be onto a loser from the start; cleaning your teeth is essential to keeping them bright and healthy, but if you constantly smoke, drink and eat rubbish foods, these will take the sheen off the enamel unless you up the way you care for your teeth. Your diet is also important in order to promote your immune system, which in turn will keep your teeth strong. Never be afraid to consult with your dentist and/or hygienist if you are having problems with discolouration of your teeth- the more you learn, the more you will be aware of what to avoid in the future and continue to keep your smile looking great.

Sunday, January 12th, 2014

595603_blogIn a modern world where dentists seemingly have the answer to every problem with their new fangled gadgets- and that is not in anyway meant to impugn their work because it is brilliant, but even some of these modern cavaliers will also admit that there are also other options to keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Herbal remedies have started to play their hand in central Leeds and for good reason- they work, and some dentists would concur with this. Many cultures have used herbs for centuries to cure the ills of the body and now, the same applications are being used for oral health. Problems such as gum disease can be stopped and even reversed with herbal products; teeth can be re-mineralised. However, you will need to put in a lot of research and homework to work out what exactly these fabulous products can do for you. Firstly, ask your dentist or hygienist about such alternatives; some may scoff at the idea but persevere. Talk to someone who knows all about the benefits of herbal remedies and medicines and look on-line for what will be best for any condition you may have. The combination of using your dentist and alternative products will only be good for your oral health.
