Top Dental Symptoms: Sensitive Teeth
If your teeth hurt when you drink hot or cold beverages, you may have sensitive teeth. This can be the result of tooth decay, fractured teeth, worn fillings, gum disease, worn tooth enamel or an exposed tooth root due to gum recession. Treatment will depend on the source of sensitivity. If you’re concerned about the sensitivity of your teeth see your dentist for diagnosis and treatment options. Above article from: MouthHealthy.org

Top Dental Symptoms: Mouth Sores
Types of mouth sores include canker sores, cold sores, leukoplakia and candidiasis. They vary in their severity and causes. Mouth sores could be the symptom of a disease or disorder; infection from bacteria, viruses or fungus or result from irritation caused by braces, dentures or the sharp edge of a broken tooth or filling. Your dentist should examine any mouth sore that lasts a week or longer. Above article from: MouthHealthy.org

Gum Disease Treatment
Society
and Science Changes Role for Dentists
There was a time not so long ago when people thought of their medical doctors as health providers, and their dentists as, well, dentists. Doctors diagnosed your illnesses, attended to your general health, delivered your babies, and dealt with traumatic emergencies. Dentists used to fix your teeth when they hurt, removed them if they really hurt, and gave you lectures about brushing and flossing until you couldn’t stand it any longer.
Dentists today, however, are now acknowledged to be the primary oral health care provider, and your oral health is recognized as a major cornerstone of your general health. In addition, the state of your oral health often provides the first indications of major health problems.
Scientists now understand how bacteria in the mouth can enter the bloodstream and migrate throughout the body. Once there, it can increase arterial plaque, which restricts blood flow and increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. Research suggests that dental pathology is a stronger predictor for heart disease than other standard markers such as high levels of fibrinogen (a clotting factor), or low levels of good cholesterol, or high triglycerides. In fact, people with periodontal disease are almost twice as likely to suffer from coronary artery disease that can lead to heart attacks and stroke as those with healthy gums.
We believe that preventive dental care is the fundamental basis of oral health care. By taking care of dental health, people take a critical step toward overall health and quality of life.
Conservative
Non-Surgical Gum Treatment
Gum disease, or periodontitis, is a serious health problem, affecting over 50 million North Americans. Called the “silent epidemic,” periodontal disease treatment has typically required surgery to resolve. Today, however, gum disease can be controlled without surgical intervention using a combined approach. Periodontal disease must first be diagnosed with a comprehensive set of digital X-rays and complete probing of the gum pockets surrounding each tooth. Then control of the harmful bacteria that cause gum disease can be accomplished with a variety of measures including scaling of teeth below the gumline or injecting a time-released antibiotic into problem gum pockets. Specialized oral rinses designed to target the bacteria, combined with aggressive home care brushing and flossing, supplement the non-surgical treatment. Finally, regular cleanings and evaluations two to three times per year are required to maintain the cleaned condition. The vast majority of gum disease cases can be treated effectively without invasive surgery of the bone and gums to keep the oral condition and body healthy.

Emergency Dental Care
Dealing with Dental
Emergencies
Many people don’t see a dentist on a regular basis. They go only when they feel they have a problem. At AuraSmile Dental we call this “crisis treatment” as opposed to “preventive treatment.” While these patients may feel they are saving money, it usually ends up costing much more in both dollars and time.
The reason for this is that most dental problems don’t have any symptoms until they reach the advanced stages. An example is tooth decay. At AuraSmile Dental, we hear all the time, “Nothing hurts...I don’t have any problems.” But tooth decay doesn’t hurt! Until, that is, it gets close to the nerve of the tooth.
Then a root canal and crown are usually necessary, instead of the small filling, which could have been placed several years ago when the cavity was small. We can usually detect a cavity 3-4 years before it may develop any symptoms. Today, however, with our aging population, we are starting to see rapidly progressing tooth decay occur on root surfaces that have no protective enamel coating. It is not uncommon to see a patient with a tremendous cavity and they have never felt a thing!

Clear Dental Braces North Olmsted OH
Invisible braces use a series of nearly undetectable aligners instead of brackets and wires. So even up close it’s really hard for people to tell you’re wearing invisible braces. This new treatment can give you the smile you’ve always wanted without the braces you’ve always avoided.
Because there are no metal wires and brackets, invisible braces are more comfortable than traditional braces. And because they are removable, eating, brushing, and flossing are no problem. You can still enjoy your favorite foods and smile without holding back. With invisible braces, there’s nothing to hide.
Visit our main website to learn more about clear dental braces.
