It is February, so we know that the dead of winter is upon us. Sixty degree January days and record lows in snowfall totals certainly don’t indicate that. But, just as the wind whips back from the North and that lake-effect snow band smacks down upon us, you’ll quickly remember what winter in Northern Indiana is all about. But, fear not, Spring will be here before you know it!
Nevertheless, while we are hunkered down in our winter respite, why not take this opportunity to check the current state of your dental health.
Take a look at your smile in the mirror. Do you like what you see? Are your teeth white enough? Do you see chipped or cracked teeth? Do you have missing teeth?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, you should know that these are all factors that can be overcome. With successful dental tooth whitening, your teeth can appear several shades brighter and whiter (individual results may vary). A whiter, brighter smile can definitely be in your future after just a few dental visits.
Teeth imperfections such chips, cracks, gaps, or unevenness can all be overcome as well; your dentist might recommend dental veneers. Made of durable composite resin or rugged porcelain, these thin strips are custom sized, shaped, and colored for your teeth – and then adhered to the front of your teeth with a super-strong dental adhesive. Dental veneers have the incomparable ability to conceal teeth imperfections and give the appearance of a beautiful smile.
If you have missing teeth, your dentist might recommend dental implants or bridges to fill the gaps in your smile. Through the use of these custom-crafted permanent and semi-permanent replacement teeth, the gaps in your smile can be filled once and for all. Sized and colored to match your natural teeth, these replacements are uniquely crafted for your mouth and can nicely fill the voids in your smile.
Do you have any tooth or gum pain? Think back about the last time you ate or drank something. Did you experience any mouth pain or discomfort? If you answer yes to any of these questions, you really should make an appointment to see your family dentist very soon. Tooth or mouth pain is not just frustrating to endure, it could also be an indicator of a larger problem inside your mouth. Your Indiana dentist will carefully examine your teeth, your gums, and your overall state of dental health. You will receive the recommendations you need to alleviate your mouth pain and its underlying issues once and for all.
