Dentists

Bacteria left on teeth and gums are the enemy of healthy teeth. When the bacteria break down sugars and starches on your teeth, they leave behind acid as a natural byproduct. The acid reacts with the calcium compounds in tooth enamel, making it weak and thin and expanding microscopic pits and cracks.

The weakened teeth are more easily chipped and broken. Left unstopped, the pits the bacteria form are more difficult to clean and the little guys have a protected place to produce more bacteria and more acid. When they finally drill through the enamel, you feel pain as the inner parts of the tooth are exposed. If the bacteria make their way to the primary nerve root for the tooth, a nasty infection results and either a root canal will be done or the tooth will be lost.

Teeth can also decay from the bottom up, as food particles and bacteria get lodged in the gums. Under the gumline the teeth are more easily damaged and bacterial growth is very hard to stop once it gets advanced. As the roots get damaged, the gums begin to recede, exposing even more surface to damage.

In the UK the degree is a Bachelor of Dental Surgery or BDS for short

Dental decay or cavity or caries occurs when the bacteria found in the mouth releases acid. This acid breaks down the crystals of the enamel...the outermost and hardest part of the tooth.

Yes. Although death is rare from dental infections, it can happen. Get him to a dentist as soon as possible. At the very least, the dentist will put him on some antibiotics and discuss his treatment options.

Teeth move throughout your life and an extraction provides an increased opportunity for this. Hence, teeth are extracted if the mouth is crowded, especially in preparation for braces. If crowding is not a problem then the teeth will not actually close the gap, rather, they fall into it, particularly on the lower jaw. The process is very slow, almost imperceptible. So you will still have a gap for which a plate or bridge may be a solution.

Dentrix software helps utilize and make systems run smoothly increasing profitability, and running a more efficient and less time consuming system. Many dentists have incorporated this tool.

Yes, you can put anbesol on the gums after a tooth has been extracted ONLY after 72 hours. The reason for the 3 day wait is because of the blood clot. Anbesol and other oral anesthetics can cause tissue damage and inflame the tissue. If the blood clot is ruptured you will develop dry socket.

If applied correctly in the correct proportions then yes :) Best amount is around the size of a pea ;) x

it's depend on you. If you have healthy teeth...you will do better in a week.

alright alright the answer is strobe lights

The best thing to do is go to the dentist. Scince your tooth already hurts, I'm guessing it's already gotten pretty bad. If you go to the doctor soon enough, they'll give you a numbing shot and then drill the cavity decay from the tooth, clean the tooth and then fill in the cavity. The procedure doesn't hurt at all after the numbing shot, before the numbing shot they will give you a swab with solution on it that helps numb you gum so it won't hurt so much when they inject. Annd if you're worried about spending money to get the cavity fixed at the dentist, I say it's better to get it fixed than your tooth hurting. It's only going to hurt more and more. get your tooth fixed and take good care of your teeth so you won't get another cavity.

You dissolve a knife tip of potassium pergament in a glass of warm water. The amount of substance to use depends on strength use want. Make to have a nice pink colour. You'll feel a bitter taste if you've made the solution too dark. It won't hurt you though as long as you do not swallow. And even if you do a little it won't hurt you. Instead it would kill worms in your stomach if you had ones.

i just got two out this week and they were already through the gum and they charged me $100 each tooth

yes, but only because of the fact that they are bigger, its easier to see and work on them. on small animals, its like a smaller percentage of easiness

Dental care abroad If you go abroad for dental care: -- Check with the appropriate government agency in the destination country about its national dentistry guidelines. -- Find out what recourse is available if something goes wrong. -- At the dental office, look for infection-control procedures, including instrument sterilization and use of protective gloves, mask and eyewear. -- A traveler's guide to dental care is available through the Organization for Safety and Asepsis Procedures at www.osap.org. Source: American Dental Association. Why is dental cheaper in Mexico? - lower operating costs, dentists are not required have malpractice insurance, dentists are less advanced and use less expensive technology and infection control procedures. Dental treatment performed abroad although less expensive, also carries an increased number of associated complications and risks. Travel, Dental Care and Dental Tourism There is a growing phenomena called "Dental Tourism" in which people travel to a destination that offers less expensive dental care. The decision to visit another country for dental care should go beyond simply comparing prices or even evaluating the dentists' expertise. Countries differ in their standards for infection control and safety. The use of fresh gloves, sterile instruments and safe water are not standard practice in all countries. Without these precautions, patients could be infected with diseases such as hepatitis B. Before considering such trips, it is important to be prepared by using information such as that contained in OSAP's Traveler's Guide. Additional information may be obtained at www.ada.org, www.iamat.org and www.adse.co.uk.

It does not happen often, because the Dentist examines the xray and matches the physical tooth he/she will work on with the xray before even starting.
