<h1>What to know about dental implants</h1>
<p> </p><p>
<img alt="What Are Dental Implants?" height="199" src="http://reservedentalgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/iStock_000009388647XSmall-300x199.jpg" width="300" />If you have lost a tooth due to a traumatic accident or simple periodontal disease, then you might want to think about replacing the hole in your mouth with a dental implant. Many times a tooth is lost following an accident requiring a dental implant to be used in its place. Other times, a patient must extract a tooth because the decay has overtaken the root and there is no possible way to save it. In either scenario a dental implant is one excellent solution that is both cosmetically pleasing and practically solvent.
</p>
<p>It is not wise to leave an open gap in one’s mouth, even if it is near the back because eventually the teeth will start to slide leading to more problems with neighboring teeth. Over time, the bone that is left behind in the jaw will also weaken leading to more problems with neighboring teeth. Therefore, something should be done to add support to the jaw bone while offering additional support for chewing.</p>
<p><a href="http://reservedentalgroup.com/boca-raton-dentist-services/boca-raton-dental-implants"><strong>Dental implants</strong></a> are artificial teeth roots that can be screwed into the jaw bone in order to hold a replacement tooth. Sometimes when more than one tooth is missing a dental bridge will be placed to hold the space of several teeth. Most dental implants are placed directly into the bone via the use of a cylinder, screw, or blade that is placed into the jawbone. Once the wound has healed then an implant that holds the prosthetic teeth or tooth can be screwed into place.</p>
<p>Sometimes patients that do not have enough bone remaining or those that have problems with dentures will choose to get subperisotal dental implants which are implants that are placed on the bone and along the top of the jaw. These require a metal framework and are more noticeable than regular endosteal dental implants but are also an effective way to restore a patient’s bite.</p><p>

What is Periodontal Disease?
<p><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save#url=http%3A%2F%2Freservedentalgroup.com%2Fwhat-is-periodontal-disease&title=What%20is%20Periodontal%20Disease%3F"><img alt="Share" height="16" src="http://reservedentalgroup.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" /></a></p>

Since we know the word “disease,” one can surmise that a dentist telling a patient that they have periodontal disease will not be news received happily. Being cognizant of what causes the disease and practicing good oral hygiene can prevent periodontal disease from occurring.
Determining whether one has periodontal disease is best left to a dentist. Though a telltale sign is bleeding gums while brushing or flossing, <a href="http://reservedentalgroup.com/boca-raton-dentist-services/boca-raton-periodontal-treatment"><strong>periodontal disease</strong></a> is not the only thing that can cause bleeding. Medicines such as dilantin, gingivitis (inflammation of the gums, which can be, in fact, an early sign of periodontal disease), or even brushing too hard can create bleeding.
If a dentist determines that periodontal disease is indeed the culprit, they will probably ask if the patient had some early signs such as swollen and/or bleeding gums. They will ask this because if the patient was experiencing these symptoms, there is the strong possibility that the gums are already infected with bacteria. This is an important determination because if it is not immediately treated, the disease can spread to other tissues in the body. The path that periodontal disease follows is a relatively easy one to curtail. Regular visits to the dentist play a huge part in prevention. A dentist will scrap off the accumulation of plague before it travels beneath the gumline, creates a “pocket,” and eventually destroys the alveolar bone that holds in the teeth. This is just a “sound bite” version of what happens, but it puts into perspective how important regular dentist visits really are.
<a href="http://reservedentalgroup.com/boca-raton-dentist-services/boca-raton-periodontal-treatment"><strong>However frightening periodontal disease sounds, there are numerous ways to combat it.</strong></a> There is what is called “deep cleaning,” which entails using a laser to scrap off the plaque. There are also various medications that a patient can ingest. Finally, there is surgery. One such surgery is called “flap surgery” whereby the gums are peeled back so that the surgeon can remove the plaque build up. The other surgery includes bone and tissue grafts. These are all very sophisticated forms of surgery and it is best to get a second opinion on any decision made about treating periodontal disease.

What Exactly is A Root Canal Anyway?
<p><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save#url=http%3A%2F%2Freservedentalgroup.com%2Fwhat-exactly-is-a-root-canal-anyway&title=What%20Exactly%20is%20A%20Root%20Canal%20Anyway%3F"><img alt="Share" height="16" src="http://reservedentalgroup.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" /></a></p>
<h1>There’s no need to fear a root canal</h1>
<p> </p><p>
<img alt="What Exactly is A Root Canal Anyway?" height="300" src="http://reservedentalgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Depositphotos_7875428_XS-212x300.jpg" width="212" />You hear your friend talking about having an appointment for a root canal with a dentist and notice their anxiety. It’s a necessary procedure but it’s also one that dental patients fear. The phrase root canal evokes images of pain and complex dental work, but <a href="http://reservedentalgroup.com/boca-raton-dentist-services/boca-raton-root-canal-specialist"><strong>what is a root canal?</strong></a> Well, as mentioned, it’s an important dental procedure, and it guards a damaged tooth from a debilitating infection.A cracked or decayed tooth is a certain invitation for infection. The harmful bacteria seep down into the interior of the decayed tooth and into the pulp chamber. When the pulpy substance at the core of a tooth becomes infected, there’s a danger of the bacteria moving on to other teeth. Imagine a serious bacterial infection that needs treatment from antibiotics. It’s far simpler to proactively remove the pulp from the decayed tooth.
</p>
<p>It’s perhaps an unjust reputation that root canals have, but the procedure is complex. A pulpectomy is carried out by a qualified dentist, drilling into the tooth and removing the soft, pulpy tissue from the chamber at the center. Next, the nerve below the chamber is delicately drilled out. It’s a time consuming course of action, but necessary in order to keep teeth and gums free from attack. All of the nerve below the gum line, and all of the blood supply tissue for the tooth, is removed, leaving the tooth inert.</p>
<p>With the pulp and nerve removed, a dentist fills the vacated pulp chamber and root area with a special material. This filling is usually some form of latex polymer, but there are alternative techniques involving thermal treatment. It’s really down to the dentists discretion what filling is used.</p>
<p>The root canal is almost done and it’s time to place a crown over the work. An impression is expertly taken of the tooth, and the perfectly matched crown is cemented to the drilled tooth.</p>
<p>The biggest concern with undertaking a root canal is that of cleanliness. A decayed or abscessed tooth is a target for all kids of bacteria, so keeping the area clean throughout the procedure is essential.</p><p>

Why You Should Consider a Professional Teeth Whitening
<p><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save#url=http%3A%2F%2Freservedentalgroup.com%2Fwhy-you-should-consider-a-professional-teeth-whitening&title=Why%20You%20Should%20Consider%20a%20Professional%20Teeth%20Whitening"><img alt="Share" height="16" src="http://reservedentalgroup.com/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" /></a></p>
<h1>Benefits of Having a Professional Teeth Whitening</h1>
<p> </p>
<p><img alt="Benefits of Having a Professional Teeth Whitening" height="300" src="http://reservedentalgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/iStock_000016384282XSmall-200x300.jpg" width="200" />Everyone wants to have a beautiful smile and whiter teeth are one way to ensure that smiles remain beautiful. There are many <a href="http://reservedentalgroup.com/boca-raton-dentist-services/boca-raton-teeth-whitening"><strong>benefits to having teeth whitened professionally</strong></a> including a younger appearance, increased self-confidence, a more attractive smile, and, of course, the process lasts longer and works better than any do it yourself, at home whitening treatments.</p>
<p>Whiter teeth help you appear younger because a whiter smile is not only associated with youth but it also helps to reduce the look of any wrinkles or age spots on the face. This is because whoever is looking at someone with a bright, white smile is more drawn to their teeth than to their skin or any potential blemishes. For this reason, it is also beneficial for those who suffer from acne.</p>
<p>Self-confidence is greatly improved when someone has their teeth professionally whitened. This is because it makes them feel more comfortable in their own skin and more excited to smile and show off their newly whitened teeth. A boost in self-confidence often leads people to accomplish certain things that they may not otherwise have tried which is a great reason to have teeth whitened.</p>
<p>A more attractive smile is a direct result of professional teeth whitening as well. A more attractive smile is something that almost everyone strives for and can help people land a job, get a date, and so many other things. While looks are not everything, a whiter smile when done by a professional makes a big difference in the lives of many.</p>
<p>Another reason to have teeth professionally whitened is that at home or do it yourself treatments rarely work for most people. They tend to be costly and sometimes even painful treatments that never produce the same results as having teeth whitened professionally. In order to get all the aforementioned benefits of teeth whitening, a professional is vitally important.</p>
