The teeth whitening industry exploded onto the high street 15 years ago. In that time it has become a common wish for people looking to improve their appearance. There have been some pretty extreme cases of teeth whitening, notably Friends Character Ross with an extreme case of white teeth. Having teeth as white as possible is not for everyone, many people want their teeth clean and bright looking healthy and attractive.
Amalgam fillings in your mouth can leave your teeth looking grey and lifeless.Your natural teeth are translucent and any dark coloured material tooth filling with change the colour of the whole tooth, being noticeable when you laugh or yawn. If you want your fillings to be tooth coloured and more natural consider replacing them with Cerec Inlays. These are simple and quick, usually in one appointment.
Teeth, shades of white,yellow,brown,orange and sometimes blue. Teeth whitening has been big business for the last few years. Many people have seen their stains from smoking,eating and drinking removed and their teeth becoming lighter, whiter and brighter. In an old episode of ‘Friends’ Ross gets his teeth ‘whitened’ with comical effect. Check out this clip .
Do you go and see a dentist only when something goes wrong? Accidents cannot be prevented but have you ever thought that the root infection, gum disease or hole in your tooth could have been prevented?
If you are tired or embarrassed by the grey appearance of your amalgam fillings when you smile, perhaps you should consider replacing them.
If you want a simple solution to moving your teeth at any age, consider the clear brace treatments available today in the UK.
Einstein said ‘make things as simple as possible but not too simple.’ This really does apply working as a dentist. Dentistry can be complicated. Most patients do not go through dental school and have a level of working knowledge of the mouth and preventative and restorative treatments. If you are stuck already, preventative means keeping your mouth healthy and restorative means getting it back to health using a few simple but very effective treatments such as dental implants.
Dentistry can polarise opinion. To some its an integral part of their overall good health to others a necessity only when they are in pain. Which one are you? Taking a preventative approach to your dental health means an investment in your dentist and your time. I am not sure why some people seem to only pick up the phone or just show up at my door when they are in agony. Only so much can be done, its a bit like trying to close the stable door after the horse has bolted.
To Smile or Not to Smile that is the Question
The saying to ‘grin and bear it’ means tolerating, getting on with your life and take the pain that you feel. This is true, there are aspects of our lives that we just get on with, perhaps feeling less than 100%. If you are in dental pain, chances are that this saying may apply to you. Grinning through the pain that is a natural sensation telling you that something in your mouth is broken or needs fixing may seem like getting on with life but really there are bigger factors at stake.
