Dental Health care, why replace a dental filling

Dental Health care, why replace a dental filling

Although fillings can last many years they may not always last forever. Without knowing you can wear down a filling by constant pressure from chewing when eating. Other people also may grind or clench their teeth knowingly or not which will also cause wear on a fillings. People that grind their teeth when they sleep should wear a night guard in order to protect their teeth.

You may not be able to see the wearing down on your fillings but a dentist can. Normally a dentist will be able to spot weaknesses in fillings during your regular check ups. Without regular check ups filling wear will go unnoticed.

If the seal between the tooth and the filling breaks down then you are leaving your tooth open to new decay, which can get under your filling. If left untreated the decay can progress to the dental pulp and may cause infection and or abscessed. In which case can lead to larger dental services such as a root canal.

You can start to see the importance of regular dental visits. Many times people do not know any of this is going on until they start to have tooth pain. Preventive dental care can save you from unwanted dental pain, and in the long run it will save you from having to have higher cost dental services.

Keep in mind that there are many low cost dental plans,  such as dental  HMO insurance plans. Many of which offers free office visits, check ups, X-rays and cleanings. By buying and using dental insurance you can save money and help keep a beautiful smile.

Florida Dental care, Bad odder during filling

24/02/11
Florida Dental care,  Bad odderduring filling.  The other day I had to have a filling done on one of my back teeth and there was a very disgusting smell coming out during the drilling.  It really kinda made me sick to my stomach.
The problem is I have to go back in a week for him to do another filling and I would like to know what that smell was.  Is there anything I can do so as not to have it stink again.  I really do not want to get sick when I am having the filling done like last time.

Do bites correct faster with your wisdom teeth out?

29/06/10

If your orthodontist is advising you to get them pulled asap, maybe it is because they are currently doing damage to your other teeth (making them crooked) or they will do damage to your teeth.

If you are not 100% clear on why your orthodontist is saying to have them pulled. Then asked them. Getting them out may not make anything faster but will prevent problems with your teeth while you are in braces and after they are removed.

Hope this has helped
