Tooth enamel

But sometimes the damage is more subtle and hard to realize. If you grind your teeth during the day or night, you are slowly but surely grinding away some of your teeth’s enamel. Occasionally grinding your teeth won’t be a big deal, as the damage is insignificant. But continued grinding will wear down the teeth, leading to more serious problems like cavities or jaw disorders. You can even get headaches and migraines from

The NRC reported in 2007 that fluoride was considered an element essential to life. Fluoride plays an important role in the body’s ability to perform metabolic and biochemical reactions that help prevent tooth decay and help bone formation. Essentially the government says that the fluoridation of water is more helpful than harmful for people as it is a good use of tax dollars as it treats upper class and lower class citizens equally in dental prevention

fluoridation is for the promotion of healthy and strong teeth. As it turns out fluoride doesn't even help with teeth, in fact it causes many problems with their formation. According to Dean Murphy DDS in his book The Devil’s Poison: "Fluorotic enamel is more porous and structurally weaker having a wear resistance that is commonly 40% to 60% of normal." (Murphy 57) This is because fluoride interferes with collagen producing enzymes leaving a "faulty matrix for minerals to accumulate and crystallize

results in enamel defects in first permanent molars and permanent incisors. It presents at eruption of these teeth. One to four molars, and often also the incisors, could be affected. This term was first introduced in 2001 by Weerheim to describe the condition. Prior to introduction of this term, many names were used to describe it, like idiopathic enamel hypomineralization, non-fluoride hypomineralization, cheese molars and etc. MIH is a qualitative effect of enamel and there is no enamel thickness

We’re a bacterium that is normal to have so our host has never really tried to kick us out but we’re not the cleanest of microbes and have been known to cause some tooth decay here and there. I am writing this journal to keep record of the things that have been happening to us lately. September 2, 2016: I know that no one will ever be reading my journal besides me but if for some reason you 're reading this I know

evaluation of the interventions. Since a 4-6 week reevaluation was not conducted a reevaluation of a quadrant was completed a week after debridement. The connection between the expected outcomes and the assessment findings include the remineralization of enamel and the extreme risk for decay, the moderate deposits and the client becoming deposit free, low dental IQ and expecting the client’s ability to explain certain dental terms and how to conduct an oral cancer screening. The connection between the assessment

Since the implementation of artificially introducing fluoride into water, a great amount of resistance has taken place. Many people claim that fluoridating community water sources can cause not only dental fluorosis, but a multitude of adverse systemic conditions. This perception has led to many political battles on the subject. The problems associated with fluoride ingestion tend to present when concentrations are higher that generally accepted. In communities with natural high fluoride concentrations

In 2014, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported that Americans using community water systems had a 74% chance of receiving fluoridated water. However, many Americans do not know that there is fluoride in their water, what the fluoride is meant to do, or how fluoridating water has become a common practice. The lack of common knowledge on this subject helps to explain why there is also little attention paid to the possible risks of using this process. To better understand why the

You’ll only need to make one visit to our office to have beautiful CEREC crowns placed! The Beauty Of Metal-Free Crowns Dental crowns are caps that cover the entire visible portion of a tooth.
