A dentist from the City of Leeds was very concerned about the dropping standards of oral hygiene even though there are so many dental cleaning products available in the market today. People are still not very educated about how to protect their teeth and in turn, their health. The doctor even talked about the importance o getting regular checkups done so that any problems could be nipped in the bud.

Nearly half of all the cases of knocked out, cracked or broken teeth occur as the result of sporting injuries. These injuries could for the most part >> READ MORE >>

This is a very unique case where a large sinus bone graft had to be performed for just one dental implant. This example below was done at my office in Burbank. The sinus was so expanded from bone loss that an “internal sinus bone graft” would not work.  There was not enough pre-existing bone to do that technique which reduces cost and time. On a side note, many patients mistake the word “graph” with “graft.”  “Graft” is the proper term for >> READ MORE >>

Dental technology has made amazing advances in the past decade. It is now possible to get dental treatment that looks absolutely invisible. People are willing to pay more money to get their teeth repaired with materials that are indistinguishable from their other teeth. Dental fillings are a good example of this. Many dentists use silver or metal amalgam in order to fill cavities in teeth. These amalgams certainly do a very good job by protecting the cleaned cavity from further decay, but >> READ MORE >>

According to a dentist from Leeds, people don’t take enough trouble to look after their teeth, which is shocking considering how easy it is to do. Most people persist in retaining habits and lifestyles that cause the erosion of their dental enamel, and which leads to a lot of problems for them. The enamel is the hard covering of the tooth and it serves a very important function. It protects the sensitive inner portion of the tooth and also allows the tooth to do its job of biting or >> READ MORE >>
