Common Dental Problems - My Dentist USA

Dental care can be complicated, especially when you're frustrated by pain or self-conscious about the way your teeth look. When it comes to actual dental problems, there a few common ailments that a majority of the population suffer and they are:
  • Abscessed tooth - An abscess is a painful condition caused by infection in a badly damaged or decayed tooth.

  • Bad Breath (halitosis) - Halitosis, or "bad breath" is a common, but embarrassing condition that often has a dental cause.

  • Cavities and Tooth Decay - Tooth decay is the process of a tooth's mineral content being dissolved. A cavity, or caries, is the actual hole in a tooth that is caused by tooth decay.

  • Dry Mouth - Dry mouth is caused by an inadequate supply of saliva. This is usually due to medication side effects, but may have other causes.

  • Fluorosis - Fluorosis is a defect in tooth enamel caused by excessive fluoride in young children. It typically looks like white streaks or spots in teeth.

  • Gum Disease (Gingivitis) - Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums that is usually caused by plaque. It is the earliest and most easily treated from of gum disease, as it only affects the gums, but it must be treated to avoid more serious gum disease.
These represent the most common suspects of dental problems, but more are listed here. Check out the article on the My Dentist USA Articles page for more information.

Your Smile Speaks Volumes About You

Think of the facial features that are most important to you. Which features stand out as the most important? Many people would say that your smile is the most important feature. Think about how a great smile has 'made' some important figures throughout history:

What would da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa' be without her beguiling smile?

Would Tom Cruise be the same without his pearly whites?

The most telling statistic, in reference to the importance of smiles, comes from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. They found that 99.7% of all Americans believe a smile is an important social aspect. Close to 75% of adults feel an unattractive smile can hurt a person's chances for career success.

But, what defines an "unattractive smile?"

The most common responses were:

- Discolored, Yellow, or Stained Teeth
- Missing Teeth
- Crooked Teeth
- Decaying Teeth & Cavities
- Gaps & Spaces in Teeth
- Dirty Teeth

My Dentist USA features highly qualified, experienced cosmetic dentists in your area. Contact the best dentists in your area today and schedule a personalized, confidential consultation to see what possibilities await your smile.

Prevent Gum Disease at My Dentist USA

There are many factors that contribute to periodontal disease, or gum disease. Although it is true that gum disease is primarily caused by plaque build-up, smoking, poor dental hygiene (such as leaving food between teeth for long periods of time because of badly aligned teeth), partial dentures or bridges that don't quite fit right, and poor diet are all contributing factors to periodontal disease. The real issue with plaque is that it builds up slowly, over a long period of time, so that the build-up doesn't cause any real pain until there's a problem.

That's why good dental hygiene and proper teeth alignment is so important to the health of your gums and, ultimately your teeth. If you can catch plaque build-up in it's beginning stages, the better chance you'll have of controlling or eliminating gum disease. Awareness of the signs of beginning gum disease is critical. Here are some of the typical symptoms of gum disease to watch out for:

  • bleeding gums
  • swollen, red gums
  • gums that have pulled away from your teeth
  • loose teeth or shifting teeth
  • halitosis or bad breath
These are only a few of the possible symptoms of gum disease. Ask your cosmetic dentist for more information on periodontal disease. If you suspect that you may suffer from gum disease, get checked out immediately. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to restore your gums and teeth.

For more information on periodontal disease, check out the American Dental Association's website.

Dental Implants - The Answer to Missing Teeth

Losing a tooth by accident or by extraction is not the end of the matter. When a tooth is missing, the resulting gap will allow nearby teeth to tilt or drift from their normal position, and the teeth above the gap will move downward.

Aside from the obvious cosmetic problem, the changed positions of these teeth can lead to severe bite problems causing jaw pain and headaches.

Missing teeth should be replaced to keep other teeth in their normal position. This can be done by Dr. Morgan with a fixed bridge or a dental implant. Both of these treatments offer a good functional and cosmetic result.

Does a Beautiful Smile Make You Look More Intelligent?

We all feel better when we have a new haircut, a new pair of shoes or when we get a raise at work. We also feel better about ourselves when we feel good about our smile. According to a new study released by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, a new smile will make you appear more intelligent, interesting and successful.

In the study, eight before and after photos were shown to a cross-section of 528 people who were asked to rate the people depicted on the photos as to how attractive, wealthy, happy they were, among other characteristics. Higher scores went to the photographs with more attractive smiles, showing that a great smile goes a long way.

"Based on a lot of interaction with happy patients, we were expecting this type of difference in attractiveness and popularity with the opposite sex," said Dr. Marty Zase, President of AACD, "but to have large gains in how successful, intelligent, interesting and wealthy patients appeared after cosmetic dentistry caught even us by surprise. We've been telling people that a beautiful smile was a great investment in their futures. Now we have independent evidence."

Do Teeth Whitening Toothpastes Really Work?

We all want a whiter, brighter smile and there are many different products out there for delivering varied results. Whitening toothpastes, though, have special abrasives and detergents in them that buff and whiten your teeth with every use.

But, are these toothpastes meant to be used every day?

Jaimee Morgan, D.D.S., a cosmetic and restorative dentist in Salt Lake City, says that it is OK to use these products every day. Whitening toothpastes are not as strong as traditional tooth-whitening gels or trays, which usually contain a peroxide agent that penetrates the tooth to get rid of stains from within. These products cannot be used every day, as they will corrode your teeth.

My Dentist USA is a resource for more information on Cosmetic and Reconstructive Dentistry, including information on teeth whitening and brightening, Smile Makeovers and Dental Implants and more. Find a licensed Cosmetic Dentist in your area with My Dentist USA's Locate a Dentist search tool.

Will People Notice My Cosmetic Dentistry Work?

Every single case is 100% unique. Dramatic differences (you are missing a tooth, and a cosmetic dentist fixes that) are noticeable. However, our cosmetic dentists are trained specifically to keep this in mind, knowing that this is a huge decision on your part, and the more natural your teeth look, the better. Funny as it is, our recent poll of patients showed that the top 3 questions/statements after the procedure asked by friends and coworkers were:

a. Have you lost weight?
b. You seem to be full of energy all of a sudden, have you been working out?
c. Is that a new outfit?

It is not uncommon for some patients to be so overjoyed they cry, hug their nurse or dentist! Patients self confidence typically sky rocket, feeling more outgoing, more social, and also showing more and more of there new smile. Business professionals brag about quicker career growth, the list is endless. It really is incredible how much a new smile can change your life, both short term and long term.

DDS or DMD - Which Should I Look For?

The acronyms stand for:

DDS - Doctor of Dental Surgery
DMD - Doctor of Dental Medicine

This designates the degree awarded to the dentist, from the dental school, upon graduation. There is no difference between the two, as both the DMD and DDS have the exact same education. Both degrees use the same curriculum requirements set by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation. To restate, the only difference is the title given by each particular university, as the educational requirements are the exact same.
