What is the Right Age For Braces?

For a parent whose child does not have perfectly aligned teeth, which unfortunately is many of us.

The American Academy of Orthodontics recommends that children receive an orthodontics screening somewhere between the ages of two and seven. However, this age is too early to install braces. The screening is only so the orthodontist can assess how your child's teeth and jaw are developing, and identify potential problems. Based on the results, the orthodontist will be able to make an informed recommendation on whether your child will need braces in the future.

Most children who need braces will receive them between the ages of nine and thirteen. This is the ideal age, since the jaw is strong enough to support braces, but still developing, so the braces can do their work as the child grows. After fourteen, the pace of development slows and it becomes more difficult to make significant changes in alignment through braces.

Common Causes of Sensitive Teeth

Ouch! That hurts! Sensitive teeth are a terrible nuisance! You can't concentrate when you've got sensitive teeth because each breath brings with it a bunch of pain. Even touching your teeth with your tongue can be painful and I've found it's especially bad during a sudden climate change.

So what causes sensitive teeth? Basically, any sort of exposure of your dentin will cause discomfort or pain. Dentin is the soft layer of your teeth that sits under your enamel.

This can be caused by

>gum disease

>brushing too hard - use a softer brush

>Aging

>Grinding your teeth - use mouth guard to protect your teeth

>Acidic mouthwashes will dissolve your enamel over time, as will regularly eating acidic foods.

>Dehydration (including from alcohol or caffeine drinks)

>Tooth whitening and many other dental procedures can leave your teeth feeling temporarily very sensitive. This will likely last 4-6 weeks maximum. Try using a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth during this period to ease the discomfort.

Go see your dentist for treatment. This will normally include a teeth cleaning as well as application of a fluoride gel which will strengthen your teeth.

Anti-Aging Treatments From the Dentist?

When most people think about anti-aging treatments, they think about Botox, plastic surgeons, and weekends at the health spa. Did you know, though, that your dentist can have a huge impact on how old you look? It's unexpected by true. The way that your teeth are aligned and the way that they look can have a huge impact on your overall youthful look. So, if you're looking for antiwrinkle treatments, don't forget to call the dentist.

Your very first thought might be that we're simply talking about whitening your smile and keeping your natural teeth beautiful. This, in itself, can have a pretty dramatic impact on your youthful look. Check out magazines and movies, and you'll see that the youngest, most beautiful models and stars are those with straight, white teeth. We definitely associate white teeth with youth, and over time, you can start to experience staining and discoloring of your teeth, which can easily be fixed with today's dental techniques.

Basically, your mouth and the teeth in it are the things that support the entire rest of your facial structure. Think about the face of a toothless baby or, even better, an elderly lady or gentleman who has taken her or his false teeth out. A baby's skin is so elastic that it's hard to notice much of a difference, but if you look closely, you can see that a baby's cheeks are hollowed out until he starts to get back teeth. When an elderly person removes dentures, her whole face can sag and sort of collapse.

Over time, your face starts to cave in as your teeth wear down. If you're missing teeth or just have normal wear and tear, a dentist can restructure your face by restructuring your teeth. Some dental work can help erase fine lines around the mouth, and by boosting the whole facial structure, even fine lines in the forehead and jaw can disappear! So, when you need antiwrinkle treatments,
