A neat, white smile is the crowning glory of anyone’s face, so it’s only natural to want the best. Unfortunately, not all of us are blessed with a gleaming, perfectly aligned set of teeth! But all is not lost, because cosmetic dentistry can help you achieve that million-dollar smile. The advancements in cheap cosmetic dentistry mean that practically any dental condition can be remedied. Let us take a look at some of the most common dental problems, and how they can be fixed
This is a common problem among children who are in the process of losing their ‘milk teeth’ and gaining new permanent teeth. While typically these deciduous teeth fall out on their own, sometimes they take a little longer to fall. This results in the misdirected or crooked growth of the newly erupting permanent teeth.
One way to solve this problem is to consult with your dentist whether it is safe to extract the decaying milk teeth, rather than wait for them to fall out naturally. Another common solution is fitting braces to the teeth, to correct the teeth’s alignment.
Dental hygiene is especially important after the appearance of permanent teeth. Tooth decay is a common problem experienced by those who do not have their plaque and tartar regularly removed. Tooth decay usually begins with the build-up of plaque. If left uncleaned, the plaque turns to tartar. The bacteria in the tartar then secrete acidic metabolic wastes, which, over time, dissolve the teeth causing cavities or further decay. Cavities can be easily filled, but if the decay has reached the tooth’s pulp, the patient may need to go in for a root canal or a tooth extraction. In this case, dental prostheses, implants and veneers are good options.
Overbites or underbites are caused when the upper maxilla and lower maxilla (or jaw) of the skull do not align, creating an often unsightly protrusion of the teeth. Not only does this lessen the aesthetic quality of the face, it can also cause difficulties in chewing, and can even prevent the patient from closing their mouth fully.
This problem can be corrected by an orthodontist, who will fit the patient with a set of braces to slowly and gradually realign the lower and upper maxilla.
