All The Best Answers For Your Teeth

It is a well known fact that teeth are very difficult to maintain. Apart from regular people, even popular celebrities and models are always very wary of their teeth. This is simply because there are so many different things that can go wrong with teeth at any given point of time. For instance, it could be something like yellowing of teeth and formation of plaque, or it could be a serious issue like misalignment of teeth. There are also cases where the pulp gets infected, in which case an operation needs to be performed. Usually, for any issues related to the teeth the natural thing to do is to go to a dentist.

These days, there are some dentists who are using all the knowledge they have gained from wide study to create dental solutions that are as inconspicuous as possible. They are not acknowledged by any dental regulatory boards as being different from regular dentists. Be that as it may, these dentists use different methods to treat teeth issues, and they have come to be known as cosmetic dentists.

Take the example of misalignment of teeth. Traditional dentists use teeth braces in order to cure this. Although braces are definitely effective, they can induce a lot of diffidence, owing to all those steel wires and brackets. Cosmetic dentists, however, use a set of clear aligners that are made of plastic. These aligners are known as Invisalign. Since they are almost transparent, they are nearly invisible and so they are much less conspicuous than regular braces. And they are just as effective!

Then there is whitening of teeth. Owing to a multitude of reasons like drinking dark sodas, tea, coffee, eating colored foods and smoking, teeth can become yellow over a period of time. There are different solutions for yellowing teeth. One is to get your teeth bleached in the clinic itself. If you are not comfortable with this, you can opt for a bleaching process in the comfort of your home, as long as it is supervised by a dentist.

Then there are veneers. A veneer is a small cap that is made of porcelain, and is placed around the teeth. The porcelain imparts a distinct sheen to your teeth, so you will have the confidence back in your smile in no time.

Sometimes, the pulp of a person's tooth can be infected. This will lead to a lot of pain and an inability to chew. In such cases, an operation called root canal is performed. This involves the removal of the pulp from the hollow of the root (which is known as the root canal, from which the operation get its name) and then cleaning of the infected area. After this, the hollow is filled with some other material so that the tooth is functional again.

Sometimes with age, teeth can become weak. In such a case, cosmetic dentists use dental implants in order to bring the teeth back to functionality. This is better than dentures because with the latter, it is difficult to chew. Besides, dental implants use material that is friendly to the bone, so these implants fuse with the teeth over time.
