<span style="font-size: large;">Here are the top 5 reasons why wisdom teeth needs to be extracted. Article by Lake Lanier Smiles, Buford Affordable Dentist.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1. POSSIBLE CROWDING: Wisdom teeth might effect the eruption of the second molars and sometimes can change the bite.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">2. DECAY: Wisdom teeth can cause decay to the second molars due to food lodging and difficult to clean the area.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">3. CYST FORMATION: There is a possibility of a balloon like cyst formation and it may cause bone loss and nerve damage.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">4. INFECTION: Wisdom teeth itself can get decayed and get infection causing swelling of face and neck.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">5. GUM DISEASE: Due to difficulty in proper cleaning of the wisdom teeth area, that can develop gum disease.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Nitrous oxide has a long history of use in dental care as a sedative and anesthetic. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is very safe and has been used since more than 100 years. It is very easy to use and deliver. The depth of sedation can be altered easily by moving the knob to increase or decrease the sedation. Nitrous oxide is effective in pain relief and anxiety relief. It can onset quickly and at the same time recovery is very quick. Patients can forget the pain or anxiety of the procedure.</span></div>
<span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Affordable and economical way to deliver stress free dentistry. Very few side effects like nausea and vomiting and even these can be controlled by amount and time of nitrous oxide delivery. There are no after effects like hangover. Nitrous oxide sedation concludes by giving 100% oxygen to get you out of sedated state. Please ask our dentists at Lake Lanier Smiles, Buford dentist.</div>

<b><u><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Root Canal Treatment<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">When
a patient hears the term “root canal” pertaining to them causes more anxiety than
any other dental procedure. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">I
still picture the cartoon character with the rag tied around his head. However, it makes me chuckle because it is so
inaccurate. Generally the procedure is virtually painless. However due to the
infection or inflammation it may be more difficult for the patient to be
anesthetized. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">There
have been so many advances in Dentistry that most patients experience no
discomfort during or complications after the procedure. They are relieved to be out of pain and are
questioning why they had all the fear and anxiety. Root canal treatment is a routine procedure
and is performed with skill and expertise by our dentists at Lake Lanier Smiles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">WHAT
IS A ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Root
canal treatment is a procedure performed in your dentist’s office. Your dentist
performs this procedure to remove damaged or dead pulp.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Pulp
is a soft chamber that encases the nerves, connective tissue and blood vessels.
The pulp chamber is inside of the root canal. The entire root canal and pulp
chamber are cleaned out by your dentist using either an instrument called a
reamer or an electrical rotary instrument.
Both instruments are very effective in reshaping the canal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Our
Buford dentist office, Lake Lanier Smiles is equipped with the rotary machines
to do efficient Root Canal Treatments.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
next step is to fill the canal with gutta per-cha, a rubber-like material. This
step prevents contamination or infection from reoccurring.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
last step is sealing the canal. Your
dentist at Lake Lanier Smiles will melt the ends of the gutta per-cha, permanently
sealing the root canal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Root
canal therapy may sometimes require two or three additional visits to complete
depending on the amount of infection. Usually a topical medication and a temporary
filling will be applied. If your dentist
recommends it, an antibiotic will be prescribed for 10 days. This will give your body time to heal the
infection. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">If
after root canal therapy, a dental crown is not placed to protect the remaining
tooth structure, there is a high chance of tooth fracture. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">DO
YOU HAVE ANY OTHER TREATMENT OPTIONS?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Of
course, you can have a surgical extraction if the tooth has been severely
decayed or cracked. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

is usually the case when the tooth requires root canal therapy. If a permanent adult tooth has to be
extracted, your dentist will recommended a bridge or Implant or Partial Denture
to replace the missing tooth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
bridge should be done quickly after the socket heals. Tooth loss causes the surrounding teeth to shift
and move. This will affect the integrity of your bite and ability to properly
chew. Jaw pain or TMJ can also develop
due to an improper bite. The tooth above
or below the extracted tooth will drop down or erupt into the voided
space. This cannot be corrected and will
cause additional extractions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">ARE DENTAL X –RAYS SAFE?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dental Professionals have made many advances in Dentistry.
One of those advances has been the lowering of the radiation level emitted
during a dental x-ray. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The New Digital X-ray machine used at our Buford dental
office was designed so that only the small area would be exposed to the
radiation beam. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The exposure time has been shortened due to the high speed
films. In comparison, the older x-ray
machine there is more exposure due the larger cone that emits radiation
(scatter radiation) to a larger area. The
larger cone also allows the image to be of poor quality, due to placement on
the holder and movement of the cone. The
film is a slower speed than the digital, more exposure. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The film holders are
larger and can slip when they are bitten onto by the patient. These result in having to repeat the x-ray which
doubles the amount of exposure. The use
of the new digital x-ray machine eliminates all of the issues, therefore lowers
the amount of radiation emitted during a dental x-ray. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Patients are <b>also protected</b>
from exposure to the body by the use of a full body lead apron which protects
the patient’s body from a scatter radiation.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The lead apron is made of a water resistant material which
can be sanitized and is lined with lead.
These are not needed when a modem digital x-ray, they are still used as
a secondary precaution or for the reassurance of the patient.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Radiation when a person is continuously exposed to any and
all sources may damage their body’s cells and tissues. Therefore, it can ultimately
lead the patient to development one of different types of cancer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There are many places where a person can be exposed to
radiation including outside in the sunlight, in your home or workplace when
using appliances, in a medical office, hospital and dental office. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Digital x-rays are considered one of <b>the lowest levels</b> of those listed that emit radiation and are
necessary for the diagnosis of malformations of the teeth and facial bones,
cavities, bone loss, problems in the soft tissue and placement of wisdom teeth.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In addition to the precautions the dental professions already
make there is a federal law that requires the dental practice to have a
complete inspection and testing of the x-ray machine every two years. The machine is checked for safety and the
accuracy by a licensed x-ray technician.
In some states it required that the x-ray machine be tested and
inspected more frequently.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">DENTAL SEALANTS AND ITS
IMPORTANCE<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dental Sealants are one of the most recommended procedures
performed by your Dental Professional. They
are highly recommended for children and adults. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Children should start getting their sealants placed as soon
as their permanent premolars and molars are completely erupted. Which means that the biting surface has come
in enough that the biting surface has completely out of the gum tissue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If done when there is gum tissue present the sealant will not
adhere to the tooth or will leave an area exposed and subject to decay. Each tooth if done at this time it will be
free of stains and decay. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sealants will protect the tooth during their childhood and
adolescent years when most children develop cavities. Sealants are extremely cost effective. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Most insurance’s cover the cost of the sealant at 100%,
because they are considered a preventative.
However, because they are so beneficial and have been proven to be the best
course of treatment, most dental insurance’s are placing a no age limit
rule. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Adults should have sealants placed on unrestored molars and
premolars (free from fillings). The
sealant will protect the tooth from decay and will help protect the tooth from
some fractures. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Patients that grind
their teeth have found them to be useful because of the barrier from tooth to
tooth. If the adult sealants are not
covered by insurance they usually have a reduced rate if the patient is uninsured
the dental practice offers them at low cost.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sealants are a thin layer of plastic that is applied to the
biting surface of the tooth and the sealant is usually clear or white in color
when they dry and harden. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">However, to insure that the tooth is completely covered the
manufactures of sealants added color to the liquid. To makes it more visible to the dental
professional so they can make sure to the dental professional apply the liquid
to all of the depressions and grooves of each tooth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The sealant placement only requires about 2 minutes to place
and they will dry and harden within 2 minutes using a blue curing light. The curing light presents no ill effects and
is completely safe. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Although it is recommended that a patient use protective
eye wear as it is with all Dental procedures.
There are some sealant formulas that do not require the use of the
curing light. These sealants will dry
very quickly and they are just as durable and long lasting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sealants can last for
many years</span></b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> with
proper oral hygiene and regular dental hygiene appointments. </span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">It has been proven that if a patient continues to maintain
the sealant throughout their lifetime that tooth will not develop decay on the
biting surface.</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One thing to remember is to have it replaced if the sealant
cracks, becomes chipped or comes off.
There have been instances where the sealant has also worn away from
grinding and the sealant had to be replaced.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A sealant will come off due to saliva mixing with the sealant
material at the time it was originally placed and the sealant came out within a
few days. Replacement is usually done
free of charge at that time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But <b>most insurance’s
cover</b> the replacement once every three years. Because of a patient’s diet and eating habits
sealants have been removed or broken by sticky candy, sticky foods, hard candy,
and gum. Sealants can stain due to the
consumption of certain food, soda and condiments. Those types of stain can be polished off by
your dental professional.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sealants are an
excellent investment</span></b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
in your child’s or your cavity protection and Dental Health. However, sealants do not protect the other
sides of the tooth. What will is
brushing, flossing and regular hygiene appointments. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white;">Generally, dentures are made of plastic acrylic
material and for partial dentures a metal based appliance can be used.</span><br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="background: white;">•
Complete Denture:</span></u></b><span style="background: white;"> When the entire
arch does not have any teeth, complete dentures will be made to sit firmly on
the underlying edentulous soft tissue.</span><br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="background: white;">•
Partial Denture:</span></u></b><span style="background: white;"> In cases when
some teeth are missing, these dentures will use the teeth present to gain
retention along with the underlying soft tissue. The partials come with clasps
and wires that wrap around your remaining teeth to essentially hold the denture
in place.</span><br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="background: white;">•
Immediate Denture:</span></u></b><span style="background: white;"> When teeth
need to be extracted that may be in anterior areas or in cases where tooth
support is needed. Immediate dentures serve the purpose of being an
intermediary denture, at the same appointment as the extractions. The final
dentures will be given at a later appointment.</span><br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="background: white;">•
Implant- supported dentures:</span></u></b><span style="background: white;">
These dentures will sit firmly onto previously placed dental implants.</span><br />

<span style="background: white;">• Be sure to clean your tongue and gums to
remove unnecessary bacteria with a damp towel, a soft bristled brush, or a
tongue cleaner.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• The dentures will take a few days to adjust to
so do not be alarmed of some awkwardness</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• If any pain, irritation, or soreness occurs on
the gums please see our office as we will help readjust the dentures at the
trouble areas.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Over some time, your arch will slowly begin to
resorb, therefore the need to reline the dentures will be necessary. This
process will make the dentures fit more snug and tightly.</span><br />

happens if I don’t wear dentures?</span></u></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><b><u><br /></u></b>
<span style="background: white;">Without dentures, you will lose the basic
functions necessary for daily life, such as loss of support for the cheeks,
chewing and eating, and speaking. Furthermore, the jaw relationship can be
thrown off if they do not articulate in the proper orientation, resulting in
the jaw joint (TMJ) problems. Most of all the esthetics of your smile will be
missing.</span><br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="background: white;">Q. How
long do I wear my dentures?</span></u></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><b><u><br /></u></b>
<span style="background: white;">Initially, they can be worn for a week or two in
order to get used to a foreign appliance in your mouth. However, it is
important to take your dentures out every night so your soft tissue and bone
can rest and not constantly endure high occlusal pressure. With pressure of the
denture the bone can start resorbing more than usual, resulting in frequent
relining.</span><br />
<b><u><br />
<span style="background: white;">Q. Will I need adhesives for my dentures?</span></u></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><b><u><br /></u></b>
<span style="background: white;">Not if your dentures are fitting snugly and
tightly. However, if you feel that you need more security or if the dentures genuinely
do not fit perfectly, then we can recommend the best choice for adhesives.</span><br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="background: white;">Q. Do

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><b><u><br />

to our office for regular checkup visits. We will observe our teeth, gums, and

<span style="background: white;">In recent days, flossing has been at the center
stage of great debate on whether it has any benefits.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">Flossing’s association to oral health has vastly
been known to oral healthcare providers.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Flossing is not optional but is essential. The
dentists at Lake Lanier Smiles believes and know for the fact that flossing
helps.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">We at Lake Lanier Smiles wants to set the record
straight and let our patients know that indeed we need to floss. Hope common
sense prevails.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">The purpose of a floss: It deals with removing
food particles and plaque from between the teeth. Brushing your teeth can not
reach inter-dental areas. The plaque contains bacteria that are both harmless
and harmful.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">You may not be aware of food debris and plaque
present between your teeth, therefore, it is important to daily clean these
areas to prevent an accumulation of acid releasing bacteria from causing damage.</span></span></div>

<br />
<b><u><span style="background: white;">TYPES OF FLOSS</span></u></b><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">The material floss is made out of plastic beads,
wax, and flavoring agents.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;"><b><u>• Regular floss:</u></b> These are the flosses that are
known to us as the string flosses. They vary in whether they contain wax and
the kind of flavor they contain. The ease of flossing differs with waxed and
unwaxed. The waxed flosses move in and out between teeth smoothly. Flavoring
merely gives the experience of flossing enjoyable and refreshing.</span><br />
<b><u><br />
</u></b><span style="background: white;"><b><u>• Floss picks:</u></b> Unlike string flosses, picks allow
you to use one hand and very convenient. The difference lies in the
effectiveness of cleaning. The general motion of flossing requires hugging the
teeth with the floss in an up and down motion. With floss picks, there is some
restriction in allowing such a movement.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;"><b><u>• Handle flosser:</u></b> Similar to the floss pick, this
device has a longer handle with a grip. The floss head is just like the pick.
As with the pick, the effectiveness of flossing is lessened because you are not
able to change the angulation of the floss as you can with regular floss.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;"><b><u>• Superfloss: </u></b>These are special flosses designed
for bridges and orthodontic braces. They work in the same manner as regular
floss but the initial method of use differs. You have to slide the floss
underneath the bridges and braces before flossing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;"><b><u>• Oral irrigators:</u></b> These are water spray in the
form of a pulsating jet stream. They serve the purpose of removing debris and
plaque between teeth. It comes as an attachment placed in a toothbrush type
handle.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">When using it make sure it is over the sink since
water will spill out of your mouth. For the most effective results, the head of
the device should be place in a 90-degree angle for 1 -2 minutes</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;"><b><u>• Interdental brushes: </u></b>Made strictly for cleaning
between teeth, these brushes have a thin narrow working area. You place the
bristle between teeth and move the brush in an inward and outward direction.</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;"><b><u>How to use regular floss:</u></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">The proper way to floss requires using both hands.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Take out about 18 inches of floss. On both ends,
wrap the floss around your middle fingers, leaving about 2 inches to work with.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">With your index fingers or thumbs, slowly tease
the floss between your teeth.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Start to cup the teeth by curving the floss around
the side of a tooth and reach under the gumline. Begin to gradually move out.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">The motion is similar to drying your back with a
towel.</span><br />
<b><u><br />
<span style="background: white;">Flossing benefits:</span></u></b><br />
<b><u><br />
<span style="background: white;">-Calculus reduction</span></u></b><br />
<span style="background: white;">By flossing, you will be able to eliminate plaque,
which if left untouched and harden in the form of calculus. This will not be
able to be removed from brushing for flossing. The dental hygienist will use
scaling and hand instruments to debride the area. Calculus build up can cause
gum irritation, swelling, and recession.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;"><b><u>-Caries prevention</u></b></span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Flossing removes the plaque and prevents any
harmful bacteria from building up. Cavities develop from bacteria found on
uncleaned plaque that feast on sugary substances left uncleaned.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Lack of flossing will allow the bacteria to cause
acid demineralization of the hard enamel. The end result would be needing a
filling to remove the decay and place a bio-compatible material such as amalgam
or composite.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;"><b><u>-Perio disease prevention</u></b></span><br />
<span style="background: white;">In terms of periodontal disease, the harmful
bacteria can build up in areas ignored from cleaning. The bacteria are able to
penetrate deep within the gums.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">The first sign of periodontal disease is bleeding.
At this point, it is known as Gingivitis. A reversible process, gingivitis can
be tackled with immediate oral hygiene.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Brushing and flossing regularly can reduce the
swelling and bleeding of the gums.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">When left uncleaned, the plaque begins to
accumulate resulting in inflammation and infection of the gums.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">A sign of chronic periodontal disease is
enlargement of the pockets surrounding the teeth. The dental hygienist will be
able to detect this at your annual cleaning. At this point, with a deep
cleaning, your gums can return to attaching tightly with the tooth.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">In cases when annual cleaning visits are
neglected, the pockets deepen and the disease progresses to the bone, as the
bone level reduces. In a clinical view, the root surfaces may be visible due to
gingival recession from its initial attachment point.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Take home exercise for Non Flossers</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Any of non Flossers whose gums bleed on flossing
should try to floss everyday for ten days and they can see visible
reduction of bleeding. Then you can believe for yourself.</span></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Our office will provide you a handout containing
some information, however we will go over the information with you in case of
any questions and concerns. Here are a few of those instructions:</span><br />
<br />
<b style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;">Gauze pad</span></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">: As
bleeding will occur following extraction, the pad will help absorb the blood.
It is important to keep the gauze pad in the area of the site for 1-2 hours,
while biting on it to give <b>pressure.</b>
<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In cases of too much
bleeding, we suggest placing a new gauze and continue adding pressure for
another hour, till the bleeding stops.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Numbness: </span></b><span style="background: white;">Within
our jaw we have many nerve endings, these nerves may be irritated resulting in <b>temporary loss of sensation</b> for some
unknown time. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This sensation is not
permanent. Do not be alarmed and keep monitoring the progress of the gaining
sensation back in your lower lips, chin, and extraction area.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Pain killers:</span></b><span style="background: white;"> We
will prescribe you some medications to get picked up from your pharmacy. As
pain will occur once the anesthesia wears off, we advise taking the pills 1-2
hours after the procedure. In some cases, we will begin a dose of pain killers
at the office before the numbness dissipates.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">
<span style="background: white;">Do not take pain medications without eating
something. Nausea may result in cases when pain killers are taken on an empty
stomach. To help nullify the discomfort, carbonated drinks, tea, broth and soft
food will help.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Ice and Heat packs:</span></b><span style="background: white;">
During the first couple days, swelling will occur and subside soon after.
However, using temperature packs can help reduce and relieve swelling. With a
cold pack, place it on the area of the swelling for about 20 minutes then take
it off for 20 minutes. Repeat this method for the first two days. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In terms of a heat pack, use
it 2 -3 days after the procedure. For stiffness the heat packs will help along
with stretching exercises and periodic use of chewing gum.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Avoid strenuous activities: </span></b><span style="background: white;">Do not go back to work or perform any strenuous
activity immediately following the procedure. When resting, place couple of
pillows to elevate your head. Resting for the first two days is recommended.
Heavy lifting type work should only be done once you feel completely healed and
normal. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Athletic contact sports
should be avoided for about a week. In case of musicians, do not use wind
instruments for approximately 5-7 days.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Adapt a soft diet:</span></b><span style="background: white;">
Initially, on the day of the procedure, a light diet is recommended such as,
Jell-O, soup, or oatmeal. In the next couple days, soft food are allowed and
then gradually normal diet.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The Most common side effect of a tooth
extraction, especially wisdom tooth is Dry Socket.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />
<b><span style="background: white;">What is Dry socket?</span></b><br />
<span style="background: white;">A symptom of an extraction, this results from the
dislodgement of the blood clot formed after the procedure.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">The symptoms are severe sharp pain of the free
nerve endings, leaving a bad odor in the mouth, slight fever, visible bone, and
potential swollen lymph nodes.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">In a normal situation, after the extraction, the
blood begins to clump up and form a clot. Then clot is a mechanism the body
creates to stop bleeding.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">There are higher chances of dry socket occurrences
in wisdom teeth extraction. The pain usually occurs two days after the
procedure and starts near the gums gradually moving to the ear (known as referred
pain).</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">What are the causes of Dry Socket?</span><br />
</b><span style="background: white;">• Smoking and alcohol use</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Drinking from a straw</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Infection in the area</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Manually interfering with the clot formation
with the tongue</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Coughing</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Sneezing</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Drugs that interfere with blood clotting</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Rinsing your mouth vigorously</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Brushing roughly in the area of the extraction</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Eating food that could dislodge the clot like
popcorn or peanuts</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">What are the risk factors for dry socket?</span><br />
</b><span style="background: white;">• Bad oral hygiene</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Birth control usage</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Frequency of dry sockets</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Smoking</span><br />

EXTRACTION</span></b><b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />
</span></b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />
<b><span style="background: white;">What is the tooth extraction healing time?</span><br />
</b><span style="background: white;">Usually the extraction socket heals in 2-3 weeks
but still the bone inside remodels and forms up to 6 months.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">When can I brush after a tooth extraction?</span><br />
</b><span style="background: white;">You can brush the next day after tooth extraction.
But be gentle at the extraction site. The dentists at Lake Lanier Smiles
recommend that you keep your mouth clean to prevent infections.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">When can I start smoking after tooth extraction?</span></b><br />
<span style="background: white;">We always recommend to stop smoking as long as you
can after the tooth extraction. But a minimum of two days is very important to
prevent dry socket.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">What should I do if it still bleeds after hours of tooth
extraction?</span><br />
</b><span style="background: white;">Slight bleeding is common after a tooth extraction
for a day or two. It's important to make a difference between severe bleeding
and a minor bleeding. If you notice bright red saliva then call our dentists at
Lake Lanier Smiles, but if the saliva is very light red due to mixing with a
large amount of saliva then nothing to worry.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">What can I do to help with healing after tooth extraction?</span><br />
</b><span style="background: white;">Healthy diet will help your mouth heal after
extraction. Taking Vitamin C helps too.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">I got stitches after tooth extraction so when should I go to
the dentist to remove them?</span><br />
</b><span style="background: white;">At Lake Lanier Smiles we use resorbable sutures so
there is no need for follow up visit to take them out as they dissolve and come
out by itself.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">How long can I expect pain after tooth extraction?</span><br />
</b><span style="background: white;">A typical tooth extraction pain might last for 2-3
days depending on the difficulty of the extraction.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">If you still have pain after 3 days please call
our Buford dental office at 770-831-0559.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

gum disease. The first and most common is poor oral hygiene; not brushing and

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b><span style="background: white;">The <b>early
stage</b> of gum disease, gingivitis can be treated with proper oral hygiene at
home — brushing and flossing twice a day and six monthly checkups with your
dentist.</span><br /><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 107%;"><span style="background: white;">At Lake Lanier Smiles, we make appointments for
your follow up visits and call to remind days before the appointment.</span></span><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="background: white;">Later stages</span></b><span style="background: white;"> of gum
disease, known as periodontitis, requires professional treatment from a
dentist. This will usually involve a scale and clean of your teeth, including
underneath the gum around the root of the tooth. Various methods, from manual
scraping tools to high-tech lasers, can be used to remove the diseased tissue
to prevent further growth of infection.</span></span><br /><span style="background: white;">In advanced periodontitis, it can be necessary to
remove some teeth to properly treat the disease.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="background: white;">At Lake Lanier Smiles, we have affordable prices
for teeth cleaning for all types of gum diseases. For deep cleaning patients we
do periodontal maintenance every 3-4 months unlike the early gum disease where
we do 6 months visits.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><b><span style="background: white;">2. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON’T TREAT GUM DISEASE?</span></b><br /><span style="background: white;">The first stage of gum disease, gingivitis, will
progress into periodontists, which means inflammation around the root of the
tooth. Periodontitis causes your gum tissue to pull away from the root of your
teeth, leaving a pocket that fills with bacteria and infection.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="background: white;">Between the bacterial toxins and your <b>body’s immune system</b> doing its job, the
bone and connective tissue surrounding the roots of your teeth start to break
down. This can result not just in tooth loss, but also a loss of bone volume in
your jaw.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="background: white;">Bacteria from the infected gum can travel into the
bloodstream via the mouth and <b>harm other
parts of the body</b>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="background: white;">Periodontitis is linked with an increased risk in
<b>cardiovascular disease</b> and can even <b>compromise pregnancies</b>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="background: white;">What can start off as a mild irritation,
gingivitis, can lead to serious problems with the rest of the body and
seriously impact your health if ignored for too long.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><b><span style="background: white;">1. HOW DO YOU PREVENT GUM DISEASE?</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b><span style="background: white;">When it comes to preventing gum disease, it really
is as simple as brushing and flossing twice a day! <b>Maintaining proper oral
hygiene</b> is the single most effective way of preventing, or at least minimizing
the chances of, contracting gum disease. Last but not the least frequent visits
to the dentist. We have appointments available for teeth cleanings for new
patients.</span><br /><br /><b><span style="background: white;">Regular oral hygiene</span></b><span style="background: white;">
visits to your doctor, at least twice a year, will ensure that your teeth and
gums are as healthy as possible. They’ll also be able to monitor your mouth for
any other problems you might not be aware of.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="background: white;">Gum disease is <b>incredibly common</b>. Most adults will
have had it, or even do have it. Many will be lucky enough to treat the problem
with brushing and cleaning, but many others will not be so lucky. Don’t dismiss
the early warning signs of gum disease. If you have gingivitis, schedule an
appointment with the dentist for a clean and save yourself, and your health, in
the future.</span></span><br />

Immediate denture is a denture placed <b>immediately</b>
after the <b>teeth</b> have been <b>removed</b>. It might not look and
function like a regular denture but it acts as a transition from having teeth
to getting a new denture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">Immediate denture is

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br />
Approximately <b>3-4 months</b> after
making immediate dentures, the dentures can be relined, rebased or a new
denture will need to be made.<br />
<br />
It is important to understand that there is nothing called a <b>Permanent Denture</b> because our mouth
continue to change over time and even the best fitting denture will become
loose eventually. So we at Lake Lanier Smiles advice patients to replace
dentures <b>every 5-10 years</b>
depending on the patient age, sex and use. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;"> Immediate dentures are very useful but have
some limitations. Here are some disadvantages of immediate dentures. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Expense</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">. Immediate dentures
are new dentures but used for a short period of time only so it’s an extra
expense. But the benefits overweight the additional expense.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

denture made after healing. But soft relines are used to make the dentures
fit better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">All most all dental insurances cover Immediate dentures like a
standard denture. But most insurances have limited benefits like $1000-
$1500. If a patient needs 10 extractions and each extraction is $100 than all
the $1000 are spent in extractions and there is no insurance benefits
available for Immediate dentures. So it is very important to plan for
out-of-pocket costs for an Immediate denture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white;">Getting
teeth extracted can seem daunting and scary. Some patients refrain from getting
the procedure due to bad past experiences or that of others.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Tooth
extraction is a <b>very common procedure</b>
in a dental office. Our dentists at Lake Lanier Smiles are well trained to
carry this procedure out. In some critical and difficult cases, you may be
referred to an oral surgeon.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">After an
extraction, there are several ways in which the tooth can be replaced. We will
work with you to figure out what’s next after an extraction. At Lake Lanier
Smiles, we replace the missing teeth by <b>dental
Implant, Bridge or partial denture or complete dentures</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Why do I need my tooth/ teeth to be extracted?</span></b><br />
<span style="background: white;">• In
cases of severe decay or significantly damaged teeth</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• No
opposing teeth and over erupted teeth</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Loss of
periodontal support surrounding the teeth</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Some
teeth may be retained inside the bone causing crowding and other anomalies</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Wisdom
teeth that are erupting in an incorrect direction causing severe pain and
discomfort</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• For
orthodontic reasons needing more space for proper alignment</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Those
patients undergoing radiation therapy need their infected teeth removed as
drugs decrease the immune system.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Ectopic
teeth- rare genetic anomaly resulting in teeth located in the wrong place</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Primary
teeth still retained as an adult</span></span></div>

</b><span style="background: white;">Before
the extraction procedure, the dentist will use anesthesia to numb the area of
the extraction. During the procedure, you will feel pressure. Do not be alarmed
by this. Many times patients confuse this with pain. If you do feel you are in
pain, raise your hand closest to the dentist so they can give more anesthesia.</span><br />

<b><span style="background: white;">What will the whole procedure be like?</span><br />
</b><span style="background: white;">• X-rays
will be taken to determine the plan of action.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Local
anesthesia will be administered to numb the area (in a surgical scenario,
general anesthesia or conscious sedation may be needed).</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">•
Depending on the location of the tooth within the bone, incisions and bone
removal may be necessary.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• With
the use of elevators and forceps, the tooth will be teased out of the socket.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• The
socket is cleaned of any debris and washed with saline water.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• If
necessary, bone graft will be placed to help fill larger voids.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">•
Dissolvable sutures may be placed to aid in the healing process.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• You
will be told to bite on some gauze to help stop the bleeding and given some to
take home.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• The
dentist will prescribe some extra strength pain killers, however over the
counter medication will be enough such as NSAIDs (Aspirin, Ibuprofen or Advil).</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">•
Antibiotics may be necessary for patients that had infection surrounding the
tooth.</span><br />

<b><span style="background: white;">What is a dry socket?</span><br />
</b><span style="background: white;">A
complication occurring after an extraction. A clot formation is important for
healing of the socket and prevention of bleeding. When the clot is disrupted
from forming or remaining, it will lead to a dry socket. The result is
severe pain from nerve endings in the socket area. The symptoms will develop
3-4 days after. The clot may be effected by:</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Smoking</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">•
Increase in blood pressure</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">• Use of
a straw</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dental
crowns are majorly classified into five different types based mostly on the type
of material used to make them. Your dentist suggests a crown to you after
assessing several factors like the severity of tooth damage, cosmetic value, its
proximity and your financial interests. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">1. <b>All Ceramic Crowns</b>: These crowns are
used mainly to restore the front teeth. They are popular choice for front teeth
because of their ability to blend in with the natural tooth color. On the
downside, all ceramic crowns have longevity and durability issues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">2. <b>All Metal Crowns</b>: They are amazing when
it comes to strength, durability and retention. They are inexpensive. Metal
crowns are mostly preferred for back teeth. They are further classified into
two types; gold alloys and base metal alloys. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> 3. <b>Porcelain-fused
to Metal (PFM) Crowns</b>: As the name suggests. PFM crowns are a perfect blend
of all ceramic and all metal crowns. They inherit the good features of ceramic
and metal crowns.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">4. <b>All Resin Crowns</b>: These crowns are inexpensive.
They look very natural. All resin crowns are one of the best types of crowns
when it comes to blending in with the natural teeth. However, most doctors
don't suggest these crowns because they undergo wear and tear quickly with time.
They are vulnerable to fractures as well. They are used as long term temporary
crowns. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">5. <b>Zirconium Crowns</b>: The Zirconium crowns are
tough. They withstand wear and tear, and look just like natural teeth. These
crowns are made at the lab or at the dental office with the help of a computer
software. They are little expensive when you compare them with the other types
of crowns. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On average, a
crown can last for ten or more years. However, the life of a crown greatly
depends on one's oral hygiene habits. People who constantly chew on ice,
fingernails or hard foods are at a greater risk of damaging their crowns early.

hygiene habits like cleaning teeth and gums help maintain the life of the
crown. In addition to them, you need to make sure that you don't chew on hard
food. If you have the habit of grinding your teeth in sleep, you need to inform
it to the doctor. The doctor will give you night guard to help prevent damage
caused by teeth grinding. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As you can
see from the picture above, a crown is a kind of dental restoration used mainly
to encircle or cap a damaged tooth or dental implant. In addition to
strengthening a tooth or protecting it from further decay or damage, a dental
crown also restores the natural shape and color of the tooth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dental
crowns are majorly classified into five different types based mostly on the type
of material used to make them. Your dentist suggests a crown to you after
assessing several factors like the severity of tooth damage, cosmetic value, its
proximity and your financial interests. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">1. <b>All Ceramic Crowns</b>: These crowns are
used mainly to restore the front teeth. They are popular choice for front teeth
because of their ability to blend in with the natural tooth color. On the
downside, all ceramic crowns have longevity and durability issues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">2. <b>All Metal Crowns</b>: They are amazing when
it comes to strength, durability and retention. They are inexpensive. Metal
crowns are mostly preferred for back teeth. They are further classified into
two types; gold alloys and base metal alloys. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> 3. <b>Porcelain-fused
to Metal (PFM) Crowns</b>: As the name suggests. PFM crowns are a perfect blend
of all ceramic and all metal crowns. They inherit the good features of ceramic
and metal crowns.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">4. <b>All Resin Crowns</b>: These crowns are inexpensive.
They look very natural. All resin crowns are one of the best types of crowns
when it comes to blending in with the natural teeth. However, most doctors
don't suggest these crowns because they undergo wear and tear quickly with time.
They are vulnerable to fractures as well. They are used as long term temporary
crowns. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">5. <b>Zirconium Crowns</b>: The Zirconium crowns are
tough. They withstand wear and tear, and look just like natural teeth. These
crowns are made at the lab or at the dental office with the help of a computer
software. They are little expensive when you compare them with the other types
of crowns. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

crown can last for ten or more years. However, the life of a crown greatly
depends on one's oral hygiene habits. People who constantly chew on ice,
fingernails or hard foods are at a greater risk of damaging their crowns early.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Regular oral
hygiene habits like cleaning teeth and gums help maintain the life of the
crown. In addition to them, you need to make sure that you don't chew on hard
food. If you have the habit of grinding your teeth in sleep, you need to inform
it to the doctor. The doctor will give you night guard to help prevent damage
caused by teeth grinding. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
