Teeth Bleaching - Myths and Legends
Many products on the market are sold as teeth bleaching agents that have been so heavily advertised that even with stern warnings from dentists, many still use. The best and most effective way of whitening teeth involves careful study of the teeth and their history which may give clues to the best approach for their resurrection. Bridges and crowns offer relief from missing teeth giving people who have lived most of their lives without a complete set the freedom to smile again. Dental sealants give protection from daily wear and tear allowing normal use without the tenderness and further damage. Veneers give teeth that equal shade and shape that you get to see your teeth like never before. Get in touch with your dentist’s office so you can get that healthy looking set of teeth you’ve always wanted.
Basic Dental Care
We already gone to the extraordinary lengths to keep our fees low, so that all of the people who are self employed, are those who are doesn’t have dental insurance, or those who are live on a fixed income. And if you get your teeth fixed, you are well been concerned about the cost, and you are on the right place
No More Pain Dentistry
If pain has been keeping you away from a badly-needed dental visit, then it is time for you to worry no more. Although the use of painkillers is already in the medical practice for a long time, the idea of sedation dentistry is still an imperative issue that needs qualifying explanation as to its efficiency and safety. Many may continue to undermine the contemporary dental procedure and think that it is rather unreliable.
Sedation dentistry is a dental procedure that lets you go through the process in a sedated state to relieve you off from pain and other worries of the treatment. Sedation is an alternative method to evade the feeling of fear some patients have with regard to dental procedures. The state of sedation is as if you are relaxing whilst undergoing the medical treatment. In such case, because of sedation, dental treatment with multiple procedures is executable in a single visit or two at least. Therefore, it gives you the benefit of experiencing the feeling that the dental procedure only lasted for a short while, but the truth is it has been going on for hours already.

Simple treatment with extra care
When you walk in a Dental Spa it is hard to believe that you are in a medical environment. It is designed specially for your total comfort in mind. Scented towels, soft music, aromatherapy neck pillows and blankets are some of the extra’s Dental Spa’s provide.Lying on their cushioned dental chair, specially designed to enjoy your foot massage and hand paraffin during their dental treatment with no extra cost would like to be truly pampered. Whether you choose a new smile or a simple care of your existing smile, whatever the scope of the treatment maybe, expect the best in care and service given in the most relaxed and comfortable surroundings.
Pamper Your Teeth
Dental Spa is one of the newest trend in dentistry. It is the fusion of an elegant spa and a visit with the dentist. Instead of looking at going to the dentist as some sort of medicine ( you don’t like taking the medicine but you absolutely have to), now people will actually look forward to visiting their dentist because of the “treats” awaiting them. Typically, each dental office gives spa accommodations such as aromatherapy, massaging dental chair, headphones with soothing music, paraffin wax hand treatments, hand lotion massage, heated blanket, heated and scented neck pillow, heated aromatherapy eye pillow and heated face cloth. A selection of juices, flavored coffee and herbal tea are also made available.
Medical Encyclopedia: Malocclusion of teeth
Medical Encyclopedia: Malocclusion of teeth
Occlusion refers to the alignment of teeth and the way that the upper and lower teeth fit together (bite). Malocclusion is the most common reason for referral to an orthodontist. Most malocclusion is mild enough not to require treatment. If a severe misalignment is present, orthodontics and/or oral surgery may be required.

Update on Antibiotics Prior to Dental Procedures
Update on Antibiotics Prior to Dental Procedures
Wilderness dentistry is an art form, often improvised and rarely practiced in an optimal setting. Most health care professionals are not trained in dentistry and are therefore forced to improvise when faced with an injured or lost tooth, gum infection, lost crown, or other dental emergency. Furthermore, most first aid kits are not supplied with proper tools for managing dental problems unless a traveler has had the foresight to carry the necessary supplies and learn how to use them properly.One traditional concept in dentistry has been that certain antibiotic coverage is necessary for persons with certain structural heart problems prior to certain dental manipulations. I was taught this in medical school, and dogma about this has notchanged until just recently. The American Heart Association (AHA) has released new recommendations that state that the use of antibiotics prior to dental procedures is rarely needed. This information is applicable to the wilderness as well as the urban setting.The update states that giving antibiotics to patients prior to dental procedures is unlikely to prevent many cases of infective endocarditis [inflammation of the lining of the heart and its valves].A specially appointed writing group sponsored by the AHA was created because of its collective expertise in prevention and treatment of infective endocarditis. This group, along with members representing the American Dental Association, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, concluded that the use of prophylactic (preventive) antibiotics should be restricted to patients at risk for infection, such as those with artificial heart valves or certain congenital heart defects.
Who Cares About a First Impression?
Who Cares About a First Impression?
First impressions have been noted as being the most important factor when you meet someone new. Within a few seconds the person you just met has sized you up in about every way possible. How much money you make? How educated are you? Are you attractive? Are you somebody they want to hang around? As everybody knows, "you can't judge a book by its cover" but as everyone also knows, everyone judges people by their cover. Little details in your appearance go a long way.

In this case and many like it the lower central incisors begin to erupt to the tongue side inside of the baby teeth. These teeth do so because, in part, it is the easiest path to erupt in the mouth. In most situations the permanent tooth applies pressure to the baby tooth and the baby tooth’s root melts away. In this case these teeth are just trying to find the easiest way to get into the mouth

Tooth Extraction
Tooth Extraction
Definition
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth.
Surgical Removal of a Tooth
Reasons for Procedure
Although many teeth can be saved with modern dental techniques, some must be removed. Tooth extraction may be necessary in the following situations:
The tooth is too badly damaged or decayed to be saved by root canal
The tooth's nerve is infected
The tooth is impeding normal tooth growth
The tooth is loose from advanced periodontal disease
There is a loss of supporting bone, gums, or tissue
The tooth is too badly damaged or decayed to be saved by root canal
The tooth's nerve is infected
The tooth is impeding normal tooth growth
The tooth is loose from advanced periodontal disease
There is a loss of supporting bone, gums, or tissue
Sinus Augmentation
this operation is provided by ACE fo Surgical Dental tools & Materials. This include opening a window in the sinus wall without cutting the lining membrane & then lift the bony window & put Hydroxyapetite bone subistitute, This transvert into bone & by this method we provided sufficient bone for any implant supported dental prosthses.
Example of treatment (Crown lengthening)
Example of treatment (Crown lengthening)
When tooth decay extends below the gum line, crown lengthening is performed to increase the amount of exposed tooth. Unlike extrusion, it deals with the situation when only part of the root is under the gum.
This photograph is before the treatment. The patient came to our clinic to get a second opinion after being told that it had to be removed.
Whitening a darkened tooth
Thursday, July 9th, 2009
Today a 31 year old female presented for an external bleaching. The case was interesting in that a maxillary central incisor presented with much darker staining due to a previous root canal therapy treatment completed at a different office. The goal of the external bleaching performed today was to not only to lighten all of the teeth, but to attempt to gain a few shades of whitening for this darkened tooth in particular. The teeth were properly isolated with liquid dam material. At the beginning of each cycle of bleaching, the darker central incisor was bleached for 4 minutes. Then bleach was added to the remaining teeth and the teeth were bleached for 12 minutes. Two cycles were completed. Upon completion the central incisor had lightened several shades. The patient had little post-op sensitivity. She was happy with the esthetic results
Home Whitening Strips
Home Whitening Strips
Tooth whitening strips will help get rid of tooth stains. These strips are very thin, virtually invisible -- and are coated with a peroxide-based whitening gel. You wear them a few minutes daily for a week or more. Results are visible in just a few days, and last at least a year. The results with strips are not as dramatic as with teeth whitening kits, but the strips are easy to use and pretty much fool-proof.
Teeth Whitening Kits
Teeth Whitening Kits
A home tooth whitening kit contains peroxides, a bleach that can remove both deep and surface stains -- and actually changes your natural tooth color. If you have coffee-stained teeth, a tooth-bleaching kit can help. With some kits, you apply a peroxide-based gel (with a small brush) to the surface of your teeth. In other kits, the gel is in a tray that molds to the teeth. The tray must be worn daily (for 30 to 45 minutes) for a week or more.

Treatment
Treatment
Prehospital Care
No specific treatment of mandibular dislocation is indicated in the field. The decision regarding self-transport versus paramedic transport is based upon factors other than the mandibular dislocation (eg, presence of multiple trauma, patient's level of pain and distress).
Emergency Department Care
A thorough assessment of the patient’s airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs) should be performed at presentation. If a complete history, physical assessment, and appropriate imaging study reveal an isolated mandibular dislocation, a decision is to be made if closed reduction in the emergency department is appropriate. Oral maxillofacial surgery consultation is indicated for patients with dislocations associated with fractures and for chronic dislocations. Based on the degree and displacement of the fracture and damage to associated structures, many of these patients require open reduction in the operating room.
Providing analgesia and muscle relaxation prior to reduction is important. Several options are available including procedural sedation using a combination of intravenous sedatives and analgesics. Local anesthetics (eg, lidocaine) can be injected directly in the TMJ space at the site of the preauricular depression.17 A short-acting benzodiazepine, such as intravenous midazolam, can be used for muscle relaxation. Several methods have been proposed and successfully used for reduction of anterior jaw displacement.

Dental Health and Wisdom Teeth
Dental Health and Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that most people get in their late teens or early twenties. Sometimes these teeth can be a valuable asset to the mouth when healthy and properly aligned, but more often, they are misaligned and require removal.
Wisdom teeth present potential problems when they are misaligned – they can position themselves horizontally, be angled toward or away from the second molars or be angled inward or outward. Poor alignment of wisdom teeth can crowd or damage adjacent teeth, the jawbone, or nerves. Wisdom teeth that lean toward the second molars make those teeth more vulnerable to decay by entrapping plaque and debris. In addition, wisdom teeth can be entrapped completely within the soft tissue and/or the jawbone or only partially break through or erupt through the gum. Teeth that remain partially or completely entrapped within the soft tissue and /or the jawbone are termed "impacted." Wisdom teeth that only partially erupt allows for an opening for bacteria to enter around the tooth and cause an infection, which results in pain, swelling, jaw stiffness, and general illness. Partially erupted teeth are also more prone to tooth decay and gum disease because their hard-to-reach location and awkward positioning makes brushing and flossing difficult.

How Do I Know if I Have Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth present potential problems when they are misaligned – they can position themselves horizontally, be angled toward or away from the second molars or be angled inward or outward. Ask your dentist about the positioning of your wisdom teeth. He or she may take an X-ray periodically to evaluate for the presence and alignment of your wisdom teeth. Your dentist may also decide to send you to an oral surgeon for further evaluation.
Your dentist or oral surgeon may recommend that your wisdom teeth be extracted even before problems develop. This is done to avoid a more painful or more complicated extraction that might have to be done a few years later. Removal is easier in young people, when the wisdom teeth roots are not yet fully developed and the bone is less dense. In older people, recovery and healing time tend to be longer.

What is the Dental Pulp?
What is the Dental Pulp?
Dental Pulp is the soft tissue that contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. It lies within the tooth and extends from the crown of the tooth to the tip of the root in the jawbones.
How is the Pulp Damaged? When the pulp is diseased or injured and can't repair itself, it dies. The most common cause of nerve death is a cracked tooth or a deep cavity. Both of these problems can allow germs (bacteria) to enter the nerve.

Pain from the Tooth Itself
Pain from the Tooth Itself
. Mild Pain
A mild pain is often described as a small twinge of pain, or a sudden sensitivity to heat or cold that the patient had not previously suffered from. These mild irritants can be caused by a small cavity, an old leaking filling, or exposure of the root to oral cavity fluids due to recession of the gum that surrounds and protects the tooth [8]. Additionally, clenching or grinding of the teeth can lead to mild pain and sensitivity in the teeth [9].
If touching the tooth in the area of recession with a fingernail or a metal utensil causes pain, the first step is to switch to a desensitizing mouthwash or toothpaste. These can be found in any local drug store. If the sensitivity is uncomfortable, use an over-the-counter pain medicine, as directed

Large animal tooth
Large animal tooth carried to cure toothache
The growing influence of biomedicine in the 1800s did not necessarily replace established forms of treatment based on belief and superstition. What could be referred to as folk medicine – customs that often went back generations – continued to be practised. For example, carrying this animal tooth shown in the foreground on the right was believed to cure toothache. It was hoped that the pain would be transferred from the person to the tooth. It wasn’t always an animal tooth that was used; it was not unknown for a human tooth to be taken out of a skull from the local churchyard to perform the same function. The stone was a gift to the Wellcome collections in 1916 from Edward Lovett (1852-1933), a collector of British amulets and charms. it is pictured here with four other amulets against toothache: a large animal tooth (A132541), two stone amulets, (A132503 and A132474) and a triple hazelnut (A132536).

Dr. Denise Assogna wants Hudson Valley residents to know that state-of-the-art endodontic (root canal) treatment is within close reach. The Assogna Endodontic Specialty Group (AESG) utilizes the latest techniques and technologies to save teeth that would otherwise need extraction. “So many of our patients fear discomfort,” says Dr. Assogna. “Not only is treatment pain-free, many people fall asleep during the procedure.”No detail is too small for the doctors and staff at AESG. Patients are warmly greeted to the spa-like facility by the compassionate staff and offered refreshments. For their comfort during treatment, patients are offered spa hand treatments, music, pillows and blankets. Operating microscopes enable the doctors to visualize extra roots, fractures and calcified canals. Failing root canals can be redone and damaged roots can be repaired. Problems are corrected efficiently, saving the patient time and money. Most root canals are completed in one visit, and patients are called to check on their recovery. Dr. Assogna is a graduate of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, where she completed her two year endodontic residency. She earned her D.D.S. at SUNY Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine, and holds a B.S. from Fordham University. She has taught at Harvard, SUNY Stony Brook, and presently at Castle Point VA.

How to Stop Clenching My Teeth
How to Stop Clenching My Teeth
Clenching your teeth may seem like a minor problem. However, it can lead to headaches and even damaged teeth. Regular dental care is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of teeth clenching. The following article will discuss how to stop yourself from clenching your teeth.
Instructions1
Learn to relax. Many people grind their teeth because they are stressed. You may be able to lessen or prevent your teeth grinding by using relaxation techniques such as yoga, stretching or exercise.
Step 2
Go to the dentist. Your dentist may be able to provide you with a mouth guard or appliance to prevent you from grinding your teeth. These are especially helpful while you are sleeping. Your dentist can custom-fit your guard or appliance to your mouth.
Step 3
Ask your dentist about corrective measures. Teeth grinding may be associated with dental-related problems. Your dentist may need to place crowns on your teeth or correct misaligned teeth.
Step 4
Try behavior therapy. This will entail practicing proper jaw positioning. Focus on placing the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth with your lips closed.
