Ideally, taking good care of your smile by cleaning your teeth and gums consistently can help you prevent most of the issues that could potentially lead to tooth loss. However, many people still have to deal with tooth loss, and often, it’s for a reason that could have possibly been prevented (such as gum disease). The silver lining in that fact is that most cases of tooth loss can be prevented, and with the right level of care and maintenance at home, you can improve your chances of successfully avoiding it.

What Does Root Canal Treatment Do for Your Tooth?
Much like the state of your tooth infection, treatment for tooth decay scales up as the condition grows more serious. What might only be a cavity at one point can quickly become a much more severe form of tooth infection, affecting the tissues inside of the tooth’s inner chamber and root canal. When this occurs, the increased discomfort in the tooth can be a warning sign that it’s in serious danger. If so, then root canal treatment might be the best solution for saving the tooth, if you seek treatment for it soon enough. (more…)
Lesser-Known Impacts of Tooth Loss
Dealing with tooth loss can seem straight-forward at times. As long as your replacement tooth or teeth are designed to closely mimic your healthy, natural ones, the restoration might seem to effectively and completely deal with your tooth loss. Or, you might not consider dealing with the loss that important. However, some of the lesser-known impacts of tooth loss can become increasingly more apparent the longer you wait to deal with it, and many of those impacts can only be addressed by replacing the roots of your lost teeth, as well.

When a Toothache Could Be a Dental Emergency
A toothache can mean a lot of things, and though the discomfort won’t often go away for good on its own, it isn’t always severe enough to be considered a dental emergency. However, that doesn’t mean you should automatically try to tough out your toothache until it becomes unbearable. If it’s caused by significant damage to its structure, or the progression of internal tooth decay, then seeking treatment for it as soon as possible may be the best idea. (more…)
Times When Your Tooth Needs a Dental Crown
Many people recognize dental crowns as a way to completely restore a tooth. When a crown is placed over the tooth, it caps it entirely, shielding it from the pressures of biting and chewing, and protecting it from sustaining any further damage. However, that level of restoration isn’t always necessary to repair a tooth, and before recommending a dental crown, your dentist will carefully inspect the tooth to determine if it’s the right option.

What Treating Tooth Decay Really Means
When it comes to your dental health, prevention can mean a lot of things. Every day, you should prevent the buildup of dental plaque by brushing at least twice and flossing at least once. Every six months or so, you should prevent any lingering tartar buildup from remaining too long by attending a professional dental cleaning. When it comes to tooth decay, however, prevention may mean stopping it from developing it at all, or it may mean treating the decay as soon as possible to prevent it from causing even more severe problems for your tooth.

How to Make Healthy Teeth Stronger
The fact that healthy teeth are the strongest parts of the human body can sometimes trick people into believing their teeth are almost invulnerable. Knowing how strong they are can make things like dental hygiene less important, for example, or make it seem like no big deal if you skip a dental checkup and cleaning once in a while. However, the strength and integrity of your teeth can be compromised in several ways, and the point of caring for them consistently is to prevent this from happening. (more…)
