A fresh way of giving sufferers a way of dealing with hypersensitivity in teeth appears to have been found.
A brand new chemical formula that can help stop bacteria from decaying one’s teeth in addition to treating hypersensitivity in the teeth has been discovered.
Detailed research which took place at NYU demonstrated that zinc ions and fluoride mixed with a matrix of calcium phosphate reverses the process of damage inflicted upon a tooth through Streptococcus mutans.
As well as stopping teeth hypersensitivity the mixture closed a large majority of tubules which helped to prevent the streptococcus mutans targeting teeth as aggressively as it might have without the treatment. The breakthrough was revealed to the dental industry at 2010 International Association of Dental Research in Barca Spain.
It is generally thought these days that dental implants are a much more effective method of replacing single missing teeth. In the past it was more common for single missing teeth to be replaced by a three unit bridge where the teeth on either side of the gap were required to be reduced in size and reshaped in order for the bridge to be fitted over the top. The problem with this method is the risk of the health of the surrounding gum tissue and could in the long run lead to periodontal desease if the bridge is not cleaned properly. Dental bridges must be cleaned with specialised dental cleaning equipment as opposed to dental implants which can be brushed and flossed like natural teeth.
Dental implants are titanian cylinders which are implanted into the bone and require a certain amount of healing time in order for the bone to heal around them, locking them in like an anchor. When the healing process is complete a wider post is attached to the implant and the new tooth will be attached to the second post.
Dental implants not only serve as a way of making your smile more attractive but have a big affect on chewing ability and therefore nutrition and general health.
Dental implant surgery can be very expensive particularly if you need several teeth to be replaced. This doesn’t mean however that it is not an option for those on a budget! Here at Ocean dental we can offer you a 0% payment plan to suit your pocket. Through Medenta Finance Ltd we are able to provide all of our clients the option to pay over 12 months up to 5 years thereby making the cost affordable to all.
Your oral health is a very important aspect in your life! Not only can it effect the way you look, thereby giving you greater confidence, but it also has a big impact on overall health. Missing teeth can affect the gums and other teeth and can ultimately lead to problems with the jaw bone and joint. Nutrition is also effected as it becomes more difficult to chew certain types of food.
