I’m 23 years old and I have some overlapping with my front teeth. I have been advised to wear braces but I’m not really keen on it. Is there another option to straighten my teeth?
Hi! Yes, definitely there are different ways to get teeth straightened. You can look at the option of ‘Aligners’. These are removable and can straighten your front teeth in six to eight weeks. Or you can have a look at dental arch implants. You can learn more about these implants at bellharbourdental.com.
I have a root canal done. Is it important to do a crown on the tooth?
After a root canal your tooth tends to become weak and may break on heavy biting. The crown acts like a protective cover for the tooth and prevents it from further damage. Emergency dentists in North Carolina are able to give you a root canal or a crown, or both if you so wish.
Will flossing weaken my teeth?
This is a myth. Flossing is just as important as brushing. The brush cleans the outer surfaces of the teeth and the floss cleans the between surfaces that a brush can’t access. Please floss! It will keep your teeth stronger.
I’m 65 years old and my teeth look discolored and ugly. Can I do something to make them look better?
At the age of 65, your teeth have seen plenty of wear and tear. Also, the teeth tend to become darker with advancing age. If the teeth are healthy without any damage then the best way to make them look beautiful again is to whiten them. Tooth whitening can work wonders to whiten and brighten your teeth.
