Monday, April 21, 2008Never too late for braces and straight teethThe truth is, it's never too late to get braces. In fact, if you're on the fence about getting braces but feel you're too old to get them, you might want to keep reading. Now a days, adults make up nearly half of orthodontic patients. That's good news for those who feel like getting braces was a "kid" thing. With advances in dental technology as well as medical breakthroughs braces have evolved over the years. Especially now with lightweight and cosmetically friendly options available. Getting braces is more than just straight teeth. Teeth that have a cross bite, or are misaligned have an increased chance of getting plaque buildup, which can lead to an increased chance in getting periodontal and gum disease. And if you aren't chewing and digesting your food properly, it can lead to gastrointestinal problems. Has the idea of getting braces crossed your mind? Maybe it's time you looked into it. My Dentist USA will help you find the perfect dentist and orthodontist for you to help you get started on the smiley, straight teeth you've always wanted. Labels: braces, orthodontics

Thursday, April 10, 2008What types of Veneers are there?1. Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are a very thin porcelain material that is applied to your tooth. This procedure requires at least two (probably three) visits to the dentist and also a dental laboratory to construct your veneers. Some of your tooth is shaved off, so the veneers can fit properly. 2. Lumineer Porcelain Veneers: Lumineer porcelain veneers are rather new to the market and made from Cerinate porcelain. Cerinate is a thinner type of porcelain than the porcelain used in standard veneers. Lumineer porcelain veneers are as thin as a contact lense. This is great for you because very little and sometimes no tooth reduction is required. Like porcelain veneers, lumineers also require at least two visits to your cosmetic dentist. 3. Composite Veneers: Composite veneers is a procedure which involves applying composite resin substance directly to your tooth's surface. It can be fashioned by your cosmetic dentist for your desired shape of the tooth. The are also known as direct veneers. Labels: Dental Veneers

Thursday, April 3, 2008Tooth-Colored Restorations - A Better WayDo you have unnaturally colored, metallic fillings? Are you self-conscious when you smile or laugh? Have you experienced embarrassment as a result? Imagine being able to finally laugh out loud, or smile as wide as you would like, without anyone seeing your fillings. You can experience this great feeling with strong, beautiful, natural-colored restorations. Most people want their teeth to look natural, and consequently many dentists do not use amalgam (silvered-colored) fillings. These unnaturally colored fillings have a darkening effect on the teeth, making them unappealing to look at. This is especially true when they are visible in the corners of your smile. But this isn't the only negative aspect of amalgam. Labels: cosmetic dentistry
Wednesday, April 2, 2008Smile! You have Healthy GumsThat smile you're flashing around may indicate something more than just a happy disposition. In a recent study published by the Journal of Periodontology (JOP), which is the official publication of the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP), that smile can also be a good indicator of healthy teeth and gums. The study found that those with periodontal, or gum disease had a tendency to smile less frequently and even deterred some from displaying positive emotions through a smile at all. "Since periodontal disease is prevalent in such a large number of adults, we sought to investigate if the disease affects a person's smiling behavior," said study author Dr. Marita R. Inglehart. "Smiling plays a significant and essential role in overall well-being. Previous findings suggest that smiling can affect social interactions, self-confidence and can influence how people perceive one another." Do you find yourself smiling less because of gum disease or a general dissatisfaction with your oral health? Maybe it's time you looked into getting a smile makeover? At My Dentist USA, you can find the perfect dentist that will put the spark back into your smile. Visit My Dentist USA today. Labels: articles
Tuesday, April 1, 2008Can Teeth Whitening Become an Addiction?For seekers of physical perfection who live by the slogan, "You can never be too thin," there's a new one to chew on: "Your teeth can never be too white." Some are taking the attainment of white teeth to the extreme by exclusively -- and excessively -- using over-the-counter teeth-whitening products. The most widely used of these over-the counter products are whitening strips and a tray-based technique, in which a plastic tray, containing a bleaching gel, fits over a person's teeth and is worn for part of the day.
