Replacing a missing tooth can seem like a hassle, but it’s actually very important to replace missing teeth in order to preserve your dental and jaw health. Leaving a gap where your tooth used to be could spell danger for your remaining teeth and gum health.
The health benefits of dental implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth – this much we all know. They’re strong, they’re sturdy, and they blend into your smile effortlessly. They can seem like a big investment to some people both financially and in treatment time, so what other benefits do they have outside of simply looking good? While this is enough for some, there are also plenty of health benefits to having dental implants placed.
How to recognise gum disease (and treat it!)
It’s estimated that nearly every adult is currently experiencing or has experienced gum disease in one form or another. In whichever severity, be it the beginnings of gingivitis or the slightly scarier periodontitis, nearly everyone has been touched by it. The ironic thing about its commonality is that it is entirely preventable and treatable. Beginning with the mild gingivitis and worsening to threat of tooth loss with periodontitis, gum disease could be stopped in its tracks almost as soon as it begins. We believe many people don’t recognise or choose to ignore the symptoms of gum disease because they think it is nothing to worry about. We’re here to spread the word of good dentistry and share knowledge with you on the signs, causes, and prevention methods of gum disease.
How to make the most of your teeth whitening treatment!
So many of us want a brighter, whiter smile. Whether that’s from celebrity influence or an insecurity you’ve had for a considerable amount of time, it’s a very popular wish. White teeth look much healthier and youthful then stained, yellow teeth which can develop over time. At Viva Dental, we offer a teeth whitening treatment to transform your smile. But the results can only last as long as you look after your teeth once leaving our practice. The longevity of your results are very much dependent on which foods you choose to eat, what you decide to drink and the frequency of which you brush and clean your teeth.
Good oral hygiene can help your overall health!
It turns out that taking good care of your teeth and gums will do much more than just give you a healthy and bright smile! A healthy smile and a healthy body go hand-in-hand. Taking good care of your oral health can help to lower the risk of you developing many serious diseases and possibly, preserving your memory for many more years to come. This new research proves how important it is to not just take of our mouths, but to teach your little ones to always brush twice a day. And, if you’re tempted to shrug off your good oral hygiene habits, i.e. brushing, flossing, rinsing with an antiseptic mouthwash, and seeing your dentist regularly, remember that you’re a role model for your children!
In this blog post, we’ll tell you all the surprising different health problems that taking care of your mouth can help you with.
