Dental Implants: Replacement Teeth That Look and Feel Like Your Own
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that a periodontist
or oral surgeon places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental
implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who
have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or
some other reason.
While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more
tooth-saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on
neighboring teeth for support. |

The Xylitol difference for teeth
Tooth decay happens when bacteria in your mouth consume
the sugars we eat. When you eat food containing ordinary sugar
(sucrose), it gives bacteria on your teeth energy, allowing them to
multiply and start making acids that can eat away the enamel on the
teeth. This "acid attack" causes tooth decay and cavities to begin to
form. Xylitol is a natural sweetener derived from the fibrous parts of plants.
It does not break down like sugar and can help keep a neutral pH level
in the mouth. |

Did you know that 80% of americans have some form of periodontal (gum) disease! periodontal disease has been linked to many other diseases as a contributing factor including:
Diabetes Heart Disease Low birth weight babies Stroke
and
many more. Crowded teeth can lead to difficulty cleaning teeth which
then leads a risk of increased plaque and bacteria build-up. This build
up can lead to Periodontal Issues and Heart disease which can lead to
Gum tissue recession. This loss of healthy gum tissue increases the
potential of bone loss & tooth mobility or even loss of teeth which
all equal an unhealthy mouth. |
