A tissue called Dentin is found on the inner side of teeth and the aging process of this tissue causes the yellowness of teeth. The aging process of this tissue is accelerated by the consumption of tea, coffee, tobacco, etc. Other than this, people also face problems like falling off teeth, improperly positioned teeth, cavities in teeth, pain in teeth muscles which is called Orofacial pain. A dentist can help you with every such problem.

How A Dentist Helps Your Teeth

Following are the ways a dentist can help you to keep your teeth healthy and in a good shape:

  • Improperly placed teeth are fixed with the application of braces which helps in positioning the teeth in the desired position.
  • People tend to face missing teeth issue due to periodontal disease or decaying of teeth. For the older folks who missing teeth problem, a dentist can provide their mouths with dentures which are basically artificial teeth. Dentures consist of both soft and hard tissues.
  • Dentists perform Root Canalling to alleviate the pain set in by decaying tooth or any injury caused to the teeth.
  • Crowns and bridges are fitted to compensate for any missing teeth. These bridges and crowns are made up of porcelain or alloys so that they render similar strength which any normal tooth does. Crown is placed on either tooth on the side of the missing tooth and with the help of bridge another crown is placed at the missing tooth's place.
  • If you find that there is a gap or space between your teeth then bonding can be done to overcome this problem. Bonding is done not only to fill the gap between consecutive teeth but also to improve the color of teeth.
  • People often find that their teeth start turning colorful when they stop being attentive towards them. In such a case, Bleaching is performed by dentists to whiten your teeth.
  • Orofacial pain is caused by the gradual closing of the jaws and teeth against each other during swallowing. This pain can be corrected by the orthotic or splint which is worn over the teeth until the bite is stabilized. Reshaping the teeth or applying crowns can be also applied if necessary.

Other than these problems, people might experience some other dental problems as well due to any accidental damage incurred by the face. The food, especially the junk food that people all the time, messes up their teeth and it starts decaying our teeth and weakening teeth muscles simultaneously. Don't wait for any adverse situation to turn up to visit a dentist. An ounce of discretion is worth a pound of wit so it is of paramount importance that you start paying visits a dentist regularly before you put your teeth and ultimately your health in harm's way. A dentist is the only person who will walk you through any dental problem.
