Dentin is a tissue that is calcified and consists of tiny tubules or tubes. It is the second layer of the tooth and is normally covered by enamel and covers the pulp, making up the majority of the tooth's structure.

Most issues are short in nature but it is always a good idea to let your dentist know if you are experiencing post-op sensitivity. This way you can have all your questions and concerns addressed. If the bite feels off after a few days, I always tell the patient to call and come in ASAP. Usually, a slight adjustment is all that is needed and if left untreated can cause more serious problems.

Maintaining good oral health from a young age is vital for many reasons. How the primary teeth and gums are treated can affect the development of the jaw, the formation of adult teeth, and even how children chew, talk, and smile. With a healthy set of teeth and gums, children generally feel more confident and participative in social situations. Moreover, when positive oral practices are established early on, they turn into permanent habits.

Periodical trips to the dentist can keep your oral hygiene in order, by taking good care of your teeth, and gums. Sometimes we may feel that we do not need to go regularly, as there is nothing wrong. However, behind the pearly white smile could be a cavity lurking that needs to be treated sooner rather than later.

In the field of dentistry, there is an ever-increasing demand for a perfect set of pearly whites. Often a lack of care, an unhealthy diet, or an accident causes damage to a person’s teeth which requires continual procedures to bring back a smile that they cherish and are confident about.

Most of the time, clients have a brief understanding of the dental terms, procedures, types of filling, and cleaning practices used in the field of dentistry. However, while trying to dig deeper and uncover more information, clients often have a ton of questions about dentistry and dental health but find answers to these questions difficult to come by.

Oral hygiene is commonly known to affect the well-being of your overall health. Naturally, you want to follow the right practices to maintain a healthy mouth. However, due to false beliefs and myths passed down from generations, many digest false information related to dental health and pass it off as the truth.
