Some teeth whitening treatments can cause pain, aches, and tooth sensitivity. Many over the counter teeth whitening treatments can lead to tooth sensitivity because the whitening formulas do not have desensitizers in them. Most over the counter treatments like teeth bleaching kits do not prevent the whitening gel from coming into contact with the gums and other tissue in the mouth. The soft

A root canal tooth can stand out from the rest of your smile. Root canal teeth tend be darker and duller than natural teeth. This is because the root of the tooth turns a dark brown when it dies and the dark brown material seeps into the dentin of the tooth. The dentin is what surrounds the root and is what is under the enamel. The enamel is the part of the tooth that is visible and is normally

As you age, you may notice changes in your oral health. Your teeth may begin to lose their white color and appear gray or yellow. They may appear worn down or altered in shape because of years of use. As your enamel begins to lose its luster, your teeth may also start to appear duller. But regardless of your age, the most important defense against the wear and tear that aging has on your teeth

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD/TMJ) is a neuromuscular disorder that occurs when your jawbone and skull are out of alignment.

Healthy gums fit snugly against your teeth. If your gum line begins to pull away from your teeth, this is called gum recession.Receding gums expose more of your tooth’s root, leaving it more susceptible to tooth decay and cavities. Pockets or spaces between your teeth and gums can also develop and trap food particles and other bacteria that are difficult to remove with brushing and

Dental fear is a hidden phobia. People who fear the dentist do not often talk about it; they tend to schedule and cancel appointments instead. Embarrassment often fuels a dental phobic's desire to keep their fear hidden. If this sounds like you, you are not alone. In America, almost 30 percent of dental patients fear the dentist.For many people, dental phobia develops during childhood, leaving

Periodontal (or gum disease) is a chronic bacterial infection that begins with swollen and tender gums and can ultimately lead to tooth loss. Periodontal disease begins when the plaque that is constantly forming on your teeth becomes inflamed. It will then harden and turn into tartar, which can only be removed during a dental cleaning.The first stage of gum disease is gingivitis. Your gums will

You may have noticed two different sets of initials after a dentist’s name: Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD). The difference between the two just happens to be what the university/college offers. Both a DDS and DMD have undergone the same education and have passed the same dental exams. More dental schools award a DDS degree, although a number of dental

Wisdom teeth are unnecessary "third molars" that usually erupt (break through the gum) between the ages of 17 and 25. Not only are these teeth not necessary, they can be damaging to your oral health.Not everyone will have wisdom teeth break through the gums. But if you do, you may notice anywhere from one to four erupting in the back of your mouth. Sometimes more than four can break through the

When you lose even a single tooth, your oral health will begin to suffer. Your other teeth will begin drifting toward the empty space, misaligning your bite. Because your jawbone will not have the same healthy stimulation in the area where your empty space now stands, your bone could begin to deteriorate and produce a "sunken in" appearance where the gap is located.

Dental implants are titanium posts that are fused to your jawbone and act as the root of your tooth. This treatment option is ideal for replacing one tooth, or several teeth in different areas of your mouth.Dentures are false teeth that generally replace multiple teeth side by side on either the upper or lower jawbone. Dentures are cheaper than dental implants, although they may slip out of place
