It can be stressful and emotional when an accident occurs, and maybe even more so when the accident involves your teeth and smile. Whether you chip a tooth or a tooth is knocked out, it’s important to act fast and get the attention you need at a dental office in Mississauga. Here are a few scenarios you may face and what you should do.

If you’ve ever felt self-conscious about your teeth, if you’ve tried to avoid smiling with your mouth open so that people don’t see uneven teeth, or if you’ve always wished you had straight teeth, there is a solution! And even better, a solution that doesn’t involve years of braces that, as an adult, you would really rather avoid. That solution is Invisalign®! But before you head out to your Mississauga dentist, it’s important to do some research about Invisalign and decide if it’s right for you. Here are some things M Dental wants you to know about Invisalign.

“NO!” is a pretty common word to hear when it’s time for kids to brush teeth. Parents and babysitters alike know the struggles that morning and bedtime routines can bring, and much of the tedium can take place at the bathroom sink. We know how important maintaining healthy teeth and gums are, and want that knowledge to resonate with our kids. With these three steps, children will be well on their way to make brushing and flossing time a breeze.

Our teeth are fascinating and complex. As we all know, we’re first born with baby teeth. Up until around the age of 12, all of our baby teeth fall out, being replaced by our adult teeth. Later, our wisdom teeth erupt, leaving each of us with 32 pearly whites (some of which may need to be removed!). And each tooth has its own unique shape and purpose. Our unique teeth are perfect for our varied diet. Here is the purpose of each tooth type within the human mouth, as presented by M Dental, your Mississauga source for dentistry!

Your teeth are powerful. They’re built to cut through tough materials. They’re suited to weather variations in temperature. They’re adept at staying whole in the face of bacteria. That said, they aren’t perfect. Teeth can’t handle every material, they’re sensitive to extreme temperatures, and they can disintegrate when exposed to bacteria for a duration of time. That’s why it’s crucial to care for your teeth, clean them, and supply them with the right nutrients to thrive. So what nutrients do your teeth need? Well, most of us know that teeth rely on calcium to grow. Calcium is an integral part of normal bone structures, and teeth are no exception. However, folks often forget that vitamin D is also essential to increase or maintain bone density and strength. That’s why dentists advise...

Bone grafting is a tried and true procedure that has been perfected for more than 300 years. The first ever recorded bone grafting procedure was performed by Dr. Jacob van Meekeren in 1668. The advent of bone grafting was reliant on the invention of the contemporary microscope by Galileo Galilei (an invention created in 1609), as well as the discovery of the circulation of blood through capillaries in the body by William Harvey (a 1615 discovery). After these discoveries, Dr. van Meekeren, a Dutchman, formulated a plan to apply a bone graft.

In our last article, we discussed bone grafting, its benefits, and its use as a tool to prepare the jawbone for dental implants. Now, bone grafting isn’t required for implants. In fact, a huge portion of those seeking an implant will not need bone grafting. Regardless of whether or not you need bone grafting, it’s important to understand the procedure and the benefits of dental implants.

Does your dentist recommend that you get bone grafting for your upcoming dental implants? Bone grafting is commonly required to allow for dental implants. While certain people have a healthy jaw with enough bone required to install a dental implant, others may have bone density loss. Sufficient bone structure is required to install a dental implant; therefore, bone grafting may be necessary prior to a dental implant procedure for those with a diminished jaw bone.

It may be a difficult choice to get dental implants over other solutions, since dental implants are permanent. Today, we’re going to break down the pros and cons, so that you may better decide on the best option for your particular situation. As always, you can get the best advice from your dentist here at M Dental.
