Talk to your dentist. For your dentist to truly understand your mouth and all that is going on, you need to tell them. I can study radiographs and study models of a patients teeth, but you may hold the key to understanding your oral health. A patient needs to tell there dentist about any type of oral habit, vitamin deficiency, bulimia or diet because all of these can effect your teeth and /or your tissue. Next time your are at your family dentist , take an extra few minutes to talk to your dentist. Also, share your vision of what you want your mouth to look like, whether that includes tooth whitening, implants or laminate veneers.

Cracked tooth syndrome , is a common cause for dental pain. Patients experience pain upon chewing or with temperature. The dentist will usually check the tooth by having the patient bite on a bite stick or with air. The pain will go away once the stimulant is gone. The dentist prepare the tooth for a crown to help splint the tooth together and keep it from fracturing. If we catch it early, we normally do not need to perform tooth canal therapy. If you are experiencing dental pain, get into the dentist as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more chance of irreversible nerve damage in the tooth that would necessitate root canal therapy.

Research suggest a strong link between plaque on your teeth and heart disease. The plaque harbors bacteria, and some medical experts believe that when the bacteria enter your bloodstream, they help form blood clots in your coronary artiers, which can cause heart attacks. This is another reason to have routine dental care at your dentist office.

According to the American Dental Association, smoking and drinking alcohol cause an estimated 75 percent of oral cancer in the United States. Don't think that chewing tobacco is safe; it has also been linked to cancer. The easiest solution is to never smoke or use tobacco products.
With any cancer early detection is key, so keep those dental appointments. Your Dentist can often can spot the signs during a routine checkup.
Also the American Dental Association recommends that you should have your dentist examine any new sore, lump, or discoloration in you mouth that hasn't disappeared within two weeks of discovery. Unless the dentist can identify it definitvely , it should be biopsied.

Someone else may want a single gold crown on a front tooth. It is important for the cosmetic dental patient to have a good line of communication with the dentist they choose to take care of their smile, so they can work hand in hand on the most spectacular outcome.Come by and have a smile consultation at Comfort Dental of Anderson.

Main causes of discolored teeth.
Genetics- Some people are just born with teeth that aren't particularly white. This can be improved with the variety of teeth whitening products
Trauma- Teeth that have been broken, chipped, or hit in an accident can discolor. Silver and composite fillings and root canal fillings can also discolor teeth. These teeth can be improved with some teeth whitening products and some help from your cosmetic dentist.
External staining- Stains occur from smoking or drinking beverages such as coffee or tea. Most of the time these stains can be handled with routine dental care.
If your teeth need some help contact Comfort Dental of Anderson Indiana

If you've lost all of your natural teeth, whether from gum disease, tooth decay or injury, complete dentures can replace your missing teeth and your smile. Replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health. Without support from the denture, facial muscles sag, making a person look older. You'll be able to eat and speak- things that people often take for granted until their natural teeth are lost. Contact Comfort Dental of Anderson for more information.

Invisalign moves your teeth with a series of customized, nearly invisible teeth aligners. It is changing how many adults are dealing with cosmetic options. For the most part, Invisalign is fast, easy and invisible. In addition to being nearly invisible, they are removeable, which is especially good for eating and for home dental care (brushing and flossing). Contact Comfort Dental of Anderson for more information on Invisalign.

I see patients all the time living with dental pain and infection. They are literally walking around for years feeling sick because of broken and infected teeth. There comes a time when the extractions and dentures are the best option. Chronic inflammation and infection has been linked to heart disease and hardening of the arteries. When these patients finally remove these teeth they feel a hundred times better. Call Comfort Dental of Anderson today so we can help you control your oral health.

Physicians have found a strong link between oral health and heart disease. The plaque on your teeth is a home for bacteria, which can enter your bloodstream. These can help form clots in your coronary artery and intern cause heart attacks. The bacteria in your mouth could also weaken your immune system and cause chronic inflammation throughout the body including the coronary arteries. This inflammation could then lead to hardening of the arteries. To help reduce your risks, regular dental cleanings and checkups are recommended. Chronic oral infection has also been linked to low birth weight and premature deliveries.

The days of patients screaming in the dental chair are over. We have many options available to keep our patients relaxed and comfortable such as patient education, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation and IV sedation (by a licensed aneshesiologist). We can make your visit comfortable whether it is a simple cosmetic procedure, like teeth whitening, or even something more in depth like wisdom teeth extractions.

People come in every day with toothaches. Most people tell me the same thing. "This tooth has been broken for quite awhile doc, but it didn't hurt till last night." A large number of the population are in this situation. They put off dentistry for many different reasons. Whether it is an extraction or even a cleaning, the sooner the problem can be taken care of the better. Putting off dental care can lead to dental infections or even eventual tooth loss. With the use of Care Credit, a dental financing company, many of our patients are able to have that treatment sooner rather than later. They have some payment options at 0%. Call Comfort Dental today to see if you qualify for Care Credit.

Sedation dental care can be as easy as falling asleep! A visit to the dental clinic may begin with an interview from the anesthesiologist to discuss sedation dentistry. Once the sedation is onboard, the dental surgery or wisdom tooth removal can commence. After waking up, the staff will give you post operative instructions and you will be on your way home!

If you are interested in bleaching your teeth, the dentist should give you several options. The easiest and least expensive is to go with an over the counter product like Crest White Strips. These do work, although it takes a week or two. The second option would be an in-office alternative like Zoom! It works great in about an hour. The price can range from $300 to $500 dollars. The last option is cosmetic dentistry, such as dental veneers. These look incredible, but cost can be very high. Check with your dentist office to see which option is best for you.

It's back to school time! That typically means a trip to the dentist office for a check-up. Most kids need an exam and cleaning prior to school starting. You might also consider things like fluoride and dental sealants. Remember, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
