What is chronic dental infection?


Answer:
Gingivitis? Periodontal disease?
It's just an infection you've had over a period of time.
Your body is too acidic and the acids are eating away at your teeth. You need to raise your PH level and this can be done with proper diet. Go to health food store and get some PH test strips. IT has directions in the box. Get a good green powder drink while you are there and some coral calcium. Start eating more broccoli and start rinsing your mouth with baking soda and water. Your teeth and whole body will thank you. Oh, throw away your Listerine. That lowers your PH level .
Chronic dental infection (cdi) means an infection that has been in the mouth for long time. The pain from cdi is usually dull and nagging but never throbbing or shooting. Sometimes you might not even know it is there. Cdi usually happens when body has higher resistance power and the infection is of low potency. When cavity in a tooth becomes big and involves nerve you usually feel severe pain on eating cold or on biting hard or sweet food. Your gums may get swollen . this is acute dental infection. But sometimes as I mentioned earlier if body has high resistance and week infection then acute stage of the infection can be bypassed and infection goes into cdi stage. You need to treat cdi asap. There are instances when cdi can blow up into acute stage.

youre exremely stupidtry orbit sweetmint
Honey I hope this answer your question:
chewing gum was made of a substance called chicle mixed with flavorings. Chicle is a latex sap that comes from the sapodilla tree (native to Central America). In other words, chicle is a form of rubber. Just like rubber bands don't dissolve when you chew them, neither does chicle. Chicle is a good bit softer than rubber bands and happens to soften more when it gets warm in your mouth. If you freeze chicle with ice, it gets very stiff -- chicle hardens and softens over a pretty narrow temperature range. Gum bases (either natural or artificial) are mixed with sugar and other flavorings to make chewing gum. When you chew it, the rubber releases these flavorings into your mouth.

What is an effective way of having cleaner teeth ?

I floss before I brush or is it better to brush before you floss ? Anyone would like to share good tips into have cleaner teeth ?
Answer:
floss before brushing is great..anything you didnt get with floss will be brushed away...do cleanings every six months and fill cavities when they need to be filled and you are on the right track,pround of you for caring
don't smoke, or eat too much sugar
I think it's better to floss than brush.
It doesn't matter which way you do as long as you are getting it done. it is recommended that you at least brush twice a day and at least floss once a day. You can use mouth rinse like Listerine or Crest if you like. I find electric toothbrushes do a better job (Sonicare or Braun Oral B), people feel much cleaner than using a manual TB.
And of course seeing your dentist and having your teeth cleaned every 6 months.

What is a root canal?


Answer:
The dentist drill down into the roots of your tooth
taking out the inside, decay and nerves. Then fills it again.
drilling straight into the top of the tooth and removing the nerve that runs through the root of the tooth. Then the Dr. puts a patch material over the hole.
I dont know but I am getting one on Wednesday I believe they are taking out the root which causes the pain
It's a procedure to save a tooth which has an infected nerve and/or pulp. See the below link for further information.
Root Canal is the middle of the tooth where the nerve is located. To have root canal therapy, the dentist will drill a small hole in the top of your tooth, remove the dead root (nerves) and fill. Normally they will want to put a crown (cap) on the tooth because once the root is removed the tooth is essentially dead which will normally turn a slight grey color and will become brittle and break.
Actually root canal therapy consistis of prepping through the occlusal surface of the tooth and exposing the pulp chamber, the inner opening in the tooth that holds the nerve and blood vessels. Once access to the nerve is acomplished the DDS will use small files to remove the nerve/blood vessels, bacteria and debris from the root canal system. They clean and shape the roots of the teeth with these files and chemicals as well. They then dry the system and seal the end of the root as well as the top of the root with a sealer and a filling material called gutta percha. This is just the quick and easy answere to your question. I would talk to your DDS about this procedure.
A root canal is a process used for removing exposed nerve tissue from the inside of a decayed tooth. The benefit of this is relieving the pain caused by the unprotected nerves being irritated.
The process starts when the dentist uses a drill to remove the nerve tissues from the inside of a tooth. This step in the procedure is what makes the thought of having a root canal done so unappealing. Next, they pour rubber filling into the empty space where the nerve tissue used to be. Finally, they top the damaged tooth with a crown, as to keep the tooth from sustaining any further damage.
Hope that clears it up!
They are taking out the root of the tooth with is either causing you pain or is dead. If you have a dead root in your tooth, the tooth will turn black...not pretty. There is lots of numbing, so you won't feel a thing and your smile will stay pretty! :)
When a root canal is necessary, the patient often gets nervous. I know that I was when I had to have one performed. It is an extremely simple procedure. The dentist will first make a small opening in the tooth. Through that opening, the dentist will use small instruments, similar to files, to remove the nerve tissue. While you will not feel pain, you might feel some movement and pressure. When the dying nerve is removed, the dentist fills the canal with a rubber material which prevents future infection. Then the tooth can be filled and / or crowned (capped). The procedure may take more than one visit to the dentist, but they will make sure that you are comfortable during the entire appointment. Best wishes!

What is a mercury free dentist in the uk ?????


Answer:
it is one who fills your teeth with a compound that excludes mercury. some drill out all the old mercury fillings and replace them, but this might not be a good idea as you can't help but swallow the bits then you get a whole lot of mercury at one go instead of gradually
Dr. Shipman
all dentist are mercury free now - they use modern stuff for fillings as mercury is bad for us and if you are an older age group the dentist will be replacing the old mercury fillings with the new type fillings, although i think the new stuff still has a bit of mercury in it as you cant get a filling while pregnant.
A dentist who specialises in removing amalgam fillings and doesn't use base metals in their treatments.
A dentist who does not use mercury based alloys in dental fillings/restorations. However, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that mercury-based dental alloys give toxic levels of mercury to the patient and there is much evidence to the contrary.
Amalgam (silver coloured) fillings contain mercury. White. composite fillings do not. There is no scientific, proven evidence that mercury causes health problems, but some patients have experienced a resoltion in health problems once the mercury containg fillings have been removed from the mouth. However, this could be due to psychological reasons and not due to the lack of mercury. Many dentists still use amalgam(mercury) fillings. Also, The NHS restricts dentisits from using other materials on posterior teeth. Holistic dentisits do not use merury.

What is a medically compromised patient??


Answer:
A medically compromised patient is any person who has a medical condition that may be adversely affected by the dental procedure or that the medical condition may bring about an adverse condition of of the dental treatment. It is not only the condition itself that is considered but the medications taken by the patient. Medications can affect the ability for blood to clot for instance.Still on the subject of medications, drugs taken for medical conditions may affect drugs given for dental treatment. On the other hand drugs given for dental treatment may also affect drugs given for medical conditions.
Someone who is very ill - liver failure, kidney disease, severe heart problems, etc.
A medically compromised patient is someone with systemic health issues that effect dental treatment. For example, diabetic patients, cancer patients, HIV patients, Hep A,B,Cpatients, etc All of which have major systemic problems that actually reduce the effectiveness of their immune system to fight infection. Unhealthy patients are more succeptable to infection. Another example of how systemic illness can effect the oral cavity is a seizure patient. They may have moderate to severe hyperplastic tissues (enlarged) caused by the antiseizure meds. Hope this clears up everything.
