Bristol dentists advise how to keep your child’s smile healthy and beautiful

Having a perfect smile is important at any age but if you have children you are probably especially concerned about that of your child. Your teeth develop in childhood and it is particularly crucial that the mouth is looked after during the formative years. It is important that a good relationship is struck up with a dentist in these times so that your child’s mouth can be looked over regularly by a professional. Eating too many sugary foods is bad for anyone’s mouth but children ought to be especially wary. Sweet snacks should be kept to a minimum and consumed only as a treat. The plaque which sugary foods produce can cause teeth to develop cavities and no-one wants their child to have to have a filling. It is important that children get into the routine of effective brushing from an early age. As a parent you can help them with this by encouraging them and perhaps offering rewards when they successfully follow the routine. Just like adults, children ought to brush for about three minutes, usually in the morning and before sleep. It is important that they reach all areas of their mouth so that plaque is not allowed to take hold. The mouths of children are rather sensitive so you might want to get your child a special tooth brush with softer bristles. Children can have a tendency to brush quite vigorously so softer bristles can ensure that they are not damaging their gums when they are engaged in their oral hygiene routine. Get into the habit of taking your child to see your Bristol dentist and explain to them that it is a positive and worthwhile experience. Your dentist will have lots more handy hints to ensure that your child grows up with a healthy smile.

Flawless smile with teeth contouring from Weston-Super-Mare dentist

Is there is a small defect in your teeth preventing you from having the perfect smile? A small chip in one of the front teeth, worn sections of enamel or even a small fracture or slight overlapping of teeth might seem like insignificant problems but they can be very noticeable if all th e other teeth are straight and undamaged. However, all of these minor defects can be fixed by a process known as teeth contouring, a procedure aimed at changing the size or shape of teeth so that teeth with minor damage appear to be in better alignment with the rest. Using a special polishing instrument a dentist will remove small areas of enamel from one or more teeth to even up the defect in the other tooth. This is then followed by an even smoothing and polishing of all the surrounding teeth. The process is quick, painless and most of all affordable making it an ideal place to start a more comprehensive smile makeover. Teeth contouring is most often performed on the upper front canine teeth, lateral teeth and upper central teeth as these are the most exposed to structural damage such as chipping or fracturing. Besides realignment teeth contouring also makes teeth easier to clean reducing the risk of dental decay or gum disease. This is especially true when fixing small overlapping issues. The procedure will usually take place in one visit to the dentist, although it is sometime necessary to have a follow up appointment. Most appointments will last between half an hour and an hour and the dentist will often take a before and after picture so you can more easily visualise the change in appearance. The process involves very little if no pain at all because it is only the nerveless tooth enamel that is being removed or polished, although some patients experience slightly sensitive teeth for a few days after the treatment. A Weston-super-Mare dentist will offer teeth contouring as a standard procedure so you can finally get that flawless perfect smile you have always wanted.
