It used to be that if a tooth was infected or the nerve in the tooth was dying, the tooth would have to be extracted. Today, because of a procedure known as root canal treatment the infection can be treated, the injured nerve taken out and the pain associated with such symptoms alleviated.
A common reason for root canal treatment is an infected or abscessed tooth, which may result from a deep cavity, periodontal disease, or even a fractured tooth. Sometimes trauma like a sharp blow to the mouth can result in damage to the pulp (nerve) of the tooth. Should you have symptoms such as swelling, sensitivity to hot and cold or discomfort on touching your tooth, a dentist should be consulted immediately.
When it comes to choosing a Cosmetic Dentist, you are putting your appearance in someone else’s hands. For this reason it is very important to ensure you have a Dentist who is qualified, experienced, and best able to meet your specific needs.
When looking for the right Cosmetic Dentist, here are a few questions you need to ask yourself:
If you have a missing tooth or missing teeth then dental implants are the best step forward you can take to recreating your perfect smile. Dental implants help restore the natural appearance and function of your mouth and avoids the inconvenience and embarrassment of dentures.
Dental Implants offer a permanent solution to the problem of missing teeth. They are a durable, stable and fully functional replacement for your natural teeth. If you have a missing tooth or teeth you may find that adjacent teeth begin to change position. By altering the shape of the face it may lead to premature aging. This can be resolved with dental implants.
A brilliant white smile can give you new found confidence. Not everyone has naturally white teeth and others have teeth which have become stained over the years.
Tooth whitening is now completely safe. However, ensure that you visit a dental professional for whitening as there have been increasing complaints of whitening treatments going wrong when carried out by non-professionals.
There are different options you can choose for whitening with City Smiles.
You don’t use a cassette player or a brick mobile phone from the 1980’s.
That is why we don’t use metallic fillings for restorations. Metallic amalgam restorations are yesterday’s technology.
Why fill your mouth will a combination of Mercury, Silver, Tin, Copper & Zinc. If you need a tooth restoration, there are many available durable materials available such that are safe and inexpensive.
