How do I know if my tooth needs replacing? How far gone is too far gone? There is no simple way to answer this question, as it differs from case to case. As so much is dependent on the environment that the teeth are located in. If a tooth that under different circumstances could still be saved is surrounded by periodontal tissue that is infected or in poor condition, an extraction may be the best way to go.

A recent study by King’s College was done about people who suffered some sort of nerve damage after implantation. This is a very important study, and one that can be quoted as the beginning of a new era. It deals with how and why patients get nerve damage from dental implants, and how often this happens. This is important, given the increasing popularity of dental implants.

An informative article about treatment plans and dental diagnosis in general.

As dental implants become more and more popular, and are more and more widespread, they will inevitably become cheaper, to become even more accessible, becoming a truly household item.

Getting a dental implant is like getting a new tooth altogether. It is a replacement for a missing tooth that replaces all of the tooth, including the tooth root, thus stopping the spread of tooth loss and the degradation of the alveolar crest.

While we are ever increasingly sure of the medical success of dental implants, and how they can preserve the alveolar ridge, there has been no data collected about whether this improvement in physical well being amounts to any changes in the quality of life of the patient.

“I come to you with a very serious problem. I am experiencing tiny little sores in my mouth, they are little raised red bumps which are painful and sore, and sometimes bleed a little. There are 3 or 4 of them on my gums, and they do not bother me much, but sometimes they can swell and be painful. Usually they do not hurt, but they sting a little when I use mouthwash. My problem is that I do not have healthcare and so I am turning to you for an at home remedy for these if possible, or at least a diagnosis. Thanks in advance, Michelle”

I want to get my teeth whitened. i am a smoker, and have noticed that despite my getting hygiene treatments, my teeth are starting to become discolored.

“I am about to get a wisdom tooth removed, as my teeth are cracking from being pushed together. The surgery is pretty scary, the tooth needs to be surgically rmeoved, and is only partially erupted, and the roots go beneath other teeth as well. I have been reading the post operative instructions and it says that smoking is forbidden. I am a pack a day man, and I can go for a while without cigarettes, the question is, how long will I have to last without them?”

With so many different types of orthodontic systems to choose from, and so much malicious, unsolicited advice and horror stories floating around on the internet, it can become quite difficult to know what properties a brace truly has, and if its right for you. When searching for the right system of orthodontics, one is bombarded with clever marketing ploys proclaiming that this brace will save humanity, while on the other hand unfounded rumours abound about how someone knew someone who knew someone who had these braces and died because of them. With this article I intend to clear up some of the confusion about the Damon orthodontic system.
