High quality root canal clinic Edinburgh 2021? What are dental crowns and bridges? A dental crown sits over a tooth that may have been broken or weakened and helps return the tooth to its former strength and shape. If you are missing one or more teeth a dental bridge can be fitted. A bridge is similar to a crown but is used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. Conventional bridges are made by crowning the teeth on either side of the gap and attaching a false tooth in the middle to restore function and look natural. The bridge also stops the surrounding teeth from moving out of place over time and maintains the shape of the face. Read extra information at teeth whitening Edinburgh. How long can I expect my dental crown or bridge last? The answer depends on how well you look after your teeth once the procedure is complete. You may have a gap in your teeth for a number of reasons, but if it were due to poor oral hygiene, we would recommend regular visits to the hygienist. Well look after crowns and bridges can last for a number of years. How much do dental crowns cost? To make this treatment as affordable as possible, we have ensured our prices are extremely competitive compared to other expert dental crown treatments in Edinburgh.
Do you want to maintain healthy teeth and gums? Here are several tips: Chew Gum That Contains Xylitol: Multiple studies have shown that chewing gum that contains xylitol twice daily helps fight tooth decay by lowering plaque buildup. Brands like Trident make gums with this ingredient, so pick up a pack and get chewing if you’re looking to whiten your teeth. While all sweetened drinks are bad for teeth, some energy and sports drinks may be worse, according to one study in General Dentistry. Researchers found that these drinks — as well as bottled lemonade — may erode tooth enamel after long-term use. The result is thin, translucent, discolored teeth. To prevent tooth erosion: Don’t sit and sip these drinks for a long time. Rinse your mouth with water when you finish drinking.
Make an appointment. Most experts recommend a dental check-up every 6 months — more often if you have problems like gum disease. During a routine exam, your dental hygienist will remove plaque build-up that you can’t brush or floss away and look for signs of decay. They will also look for early signs of oral cancer, wear and tear from teeth grinding, and signs of gum disease.

Control the Sippy Cup: A sippy cup can help kids move from a bottle to a glass, but don’t let him drink from it all day long. Using it too much can lead to decay on the back of the front teeth if the drinks are sugary. Babies are born with all their teeth – you can’t see them because they are hidden in the gums. Baby teeth start to break through the gums around 6 months but it is important to start good oral care for infants even before the first tooth comes in. From healthy gums come healthy teeth. Wipe your baby’s gums with a soft washcloth after feeding. This helps remove the bacteria that can cause tooth decay.
