I Do Not Have Time to Care For My Teeth and Gums…

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

I understand that feeling that many people have. The one that tells them they just do not have enough time to properly care for their teeth and gums. It is a common problem. The stress of life and all of the things we have on our daily checklist causes some of the really important things to be book I Do Not Have Time to Care For My Teeth and Gums...overlookew many times have you gone to bed without performing proper maintenance on your teeth and gums. Think of all that bacterial food that gets left on your teeth overnight. Some people breathe with their mouth open at night. This dries the mouth and aids the bacteria at the same time.

Is it really any wonder that people face dental health problems and expensive dental bills. Tooth decay and gum disease are fed by our bad habits. I say our bad habits because I have them too! However, this article is here to remind you of the importance of taking care of your teeth and gums.

If you must, print it out and keep it by your mirror in the bathroom or next to your bed stand. Let it remind you in those moments when you are just too tired to care anymore.

Our teeth and gums are part of our most precious assets that encompass our overall health. Many doctors of all sorts have understood and theorized about the relationship between your oral health and your body’s health. This has actually never been a secret. Many cultures and societies have understood this. Why did people check the mouth of a horse or even a slave (unfortunately) before making their purchase?

They knew even then that if you bought a horse with bad teeth, that horse might not be around much longer. It is instinctive and intuitive. Care for you teeth and gums now, so that you can help yourself enjoy better health into your old age. Not too mention the fact that you may save yourself a lot of money as a side benefit!

Gum Specialist…

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

book Gum Specialist...What is a gum specialist? Frankly, there is only one professional that can answer to that call: A periodontist. (Forgive me if you are a skilled oral surgeon)

These dentists have additional, specialized training in gum health and gum disease. They are exceptional in this field because it is also what they practice on a daily basis.

A periodontist can often save teeth that ‘general’ dentists say have to be pulled. However, the consumer has to be on his guard because there is big money in placing implants and even periodontists are not immune to the lure of this type of procedure.

If you are told that you need a tooth pulled, be sure to get several opionions. The right periodontist, if you can find her, can often save your teeth.

Hard cases will most likely require surgery. The periodontist has a number of techniques at her disposal to replace lost bone tissue. Therefore, do not give in to the idea of getting your teeth pulled unless you are sure that there is no hope.

Personally, based on what I know, I’m certain that in most cases you can find a periodontist who will help you if you look hard enough. This is, after all, their specialty.

It is best not to lose your natural teeth. Implants have a fairly high failure rate. You often have to wait 6 months or longer before they can ‘try’ again. The jaw will begin to lose bone mass when it does not have a tooth to support. It is a vicious cycle that you should avoid at all costs.

Please remember my words: Get several opinions before letting anyone pull your teeth. Dentures and implants are not perfect solutions. Your natural teeth are best suited for your mouth and body.
