Looking after your lovely Teeth in Leeds

Wednesday, July 17th, 2013

944335_blogIt should be quite abundantly clear by now that optimising your oral hygiene work in Leeds can help to keep your teeth healthy, fresh and good-looking. For this, you need to get the best the market can offer you and with a few pointers from your dentist, you should have no problem getting the equipment you need: brush, toothpaste, floss and mouthwashes are important ingredients you should have in your toolkit. However, the passing of time can play havoc with the way you smile and so from time to time, and to overcome that fading sheen, it may be necessary to have a little cosmetic work done, just to keep you smiling with confidence. If your teeth have become discoloured, a little whitening may be required to make them white and healthy looking again, but if they have really taken a pounding, then having veneers fitted will get you smiling again- this is where your dentists come in. Not only can they repair your teeth when things go wrong- in order to ensure you retain a healthy smile, but they can also do the work to make sure your teeth look good as well with a few cosmetic touches.

The Reasons behind badly Coloured Teeth in Central Leeds

Tuesday, August 14th, 2012

We all crave the perfect smile in central Leeds and it’s there if you want it, but sometimes we don’t notice how over time, our teeth become discoloured and there are a lot of things that can contribute to our teeth becoming a little tarnished.

The first obvious cause can be lifestyle; there are certain foods and drinks that can cause havoc with the colour of our teeth and leave them stained, and it doesn’t help if we smoke either, as nicotine will soon tarnish the enamel of the teeth- couple all of this with poor oral hygiene and the teeth will suffer over time. Certain treatments can also discolour the teeth as well; amalgam fillings can give a grey hue to the teeth and porcelain-over-metal crowns can also do the same as they wear.

However, tooth discolouration can also be caused by diet: the immune system is dependent on getting the right vitamins and nutrients to give the body and teeth strength. Any deficiency in this area and this will show in the colour of the teeth (heavy medication also has the same affect). In most cases, bleaching treatments can remedy the problem in the short term, but it could be how you live your life in the long term.
