Your teeth may begin to lose their white color and appear gray or yellow. They may appear worn down or altered in shape because of years of use. As your enamel begins to lose its luster, your teeth may also start to appear duller. But regardless of your age, the most important defense against the wear and tear that aging has on your teeth http://www.exceptionaldentistrylv.com/2010/04/dental-issues-and-age.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Tiffany)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312078970625451563.post-7624601732294048581Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:42:00 +00002010-03-11T15:44:11.025-08:00Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD/TMJ) is a neuromuscular disorder that occurs when your jawbone and skull are out of alignment. This condition creates discomfort in your jaw muscles and can lead to headaches, neck and shoulder pain and popping or clicking in your jaw. One way to treat TMJ is to find your jaw's most relaxed position. When your jaw can fully relax, this can help relieve musclehttp://www.exceptionaldentistrylv.com/2010/03/transcutaneous-electrical-neural.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Tiffany)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312078970625451563.post-6717295584942723987Fri, 26 Feb 2010 01:34:00 +00002010-02-25T17:49:29.316-08:00Healthy gums fit snugly against your teeth. If your gum line begins to pull away from your teeth, this is called gum recession.Receding gums expose more of your tooth’s root, leaving it more susceptible to tooth decay and cavities. Pockets or spaces between your teeth and gums can also develop and trap food particles and other bacteria that are difficult to remove with brushing and http://www.exceptionaldentistrylv.com/2010/02/receding-gums.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Tiffany)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312078970625451563.post-44814806194501984Fri, 08 Jan 2010 23:41:00 +00002010-01-08T15:43:06.015-08:00Dental fear is a hidden phobia. People who fear the dentist do not often talk about it; they tend to schedule and cancel appointments instead. Embarrassment often fuels a dental phobic's desire to keep their fear hidden. If this sounds like you, you are not alone. In America, almost 30 percent of dental patients fear the dentist.For many people, dental phobia develops during childhood, leaving http://www.exceptionaldentistrylv.com/2010/01/dental-phobia-and-what-can-be-done.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Tiffany)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312078970625451563.post-7876718088393540092Tue, 08 Dec 2009 16:39:00 +00002009-12-08T08:41:46.493-08:00Periodontal (or gum disease) is a chronic bacterial infection that begins with swollen and tender gums and can ultimately lead to tooth loss. Periodontal disease begins when the plaque that is constantly forming on your teeth becomes inflamed. It will then harden and turn into tartar, which can only be removed during a dental cleaning. The first stage of gum disease is gingivitis.

The difference between the two just happens to be what the university/college offers. Both a DDS and DMD have undergone the same education and have passed the same dental exams. More dental schools award a DDS degree, although a number of dental http://www.exceptionaldentistrylv.com/2009/11/what-is-difference-between-dds-and-dmd.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Tiffany)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312078970625451563.post-8333050496649645473Tue, 20 Oct 2009 22:14:00 +00002009-10-20T15:17:12.481-07:00Wisdom teeth are unnecessary "third molars" that usually erupt (break through the gum) between the ages of 17 and 25. Not only are these teeth not necessary, they can be damaging to your oral health.Not everyone will have wisdom teeth break through the gums. But if you do, you may notice anywhere from one to four erupting in the back of your mouth. Sometimes more than four can break through the http://www.exceptionaldentistrylv.com/2009/10/do-we-need-our-wisdom-teeth.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Tiffany)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312078970625451563.post-1010526704977592114Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:04:00 +00002009-09-29T10:06:19.403-07:00When you lose even a single tooth, your oral health will begin to suffer. Your other teeth will begin drifting toward the empty space, misaligning your bite. Because your jawbone will not have the same healthy stimulation in the area where your empty space now stands, your bone could begin to deteriorate and produce a "sunken in" appearance where the gap is located.

This treatment option is ideal for replacing one tooth, or several teeth in different areas of your mouth. Dentures are false teeth that generally replace multiple teeth side by side on either the upper or lower jawbone. Dentures are cheaper than dental implants, although they may slip out of http://www.exceptionaldentistrylv.com/2009/08/difference-between-implants-and.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Erica)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312078970625451563.post-4379757135682768119Wed, 19 Aug 2009 21:25:00 +00002009-08-19T14:28:09.400-07:00Dental bonding is an effective and painless way to close the spaces in between your teeth. This cosmetic treatment uses a resin bonding agent that is applied to your teeth and sculpted to its appropriate shape. The resin comes in a variety of colors, so it can be matched exactly to the color of your natural teeth. The resin material is then hardened with a curing light and trimmed and polished sohttp://www.exceptionaldentistrylv.com/2009/08/dental-bonding-to-close-spaces-between.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Erica)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312078970625451563.post-8671671502684463965Thu, 23 Apr 2009 16:01:00 +00002009-04-23T09:02:34.495-07:00Please check back soon for more about cosmetic dentistry in Las Vegas.http://www.exceptionaldentistrylv.com/2009/04/welcome-to-our-dental-blog.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Blogger Admin)
