<h1>
What is root canal treatment?</h1>
Root canal treatment (endodontics) is one of the areas of dentistry
that Dr. Richard Bailey focuses on. Root canal treatment usually
involves the removal of the tooth's pulp, a small threadlike tissue that
was important for the tooth development. Once removed, it is replaced
with materials that seal off the root canal from its supporting
structures. Years ago, diseased or injured teeth were often extracted.
Today, even if the pulp of one of your teeth becomes injured or
infected, it often can be saved through root canal treatment. This is
the area of dentistry concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and
treatment of diseases or injuries to the dental pulp.<br />

<span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><strong>Treatment of an abscessed tooth</strong></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif;">An
abscessed tooth is an infection that has spread bacteria from the root
of the tooth to the tissue just below or near the tooth.<br />
<br />
In general, a tooth that has become abscessed is one whose underlying
pulp (the tooths soft core) has become infected or swollen. The pulp
contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue, and lies within
the tooth. It extends from the crown of the tooth, to the tip of the
root, in the bone of the jaws.<br />
<br />
An abscessed tooth can be an extremely painful condition.<br />
<br />
In some cases, antibiotics are administered in an attempt to kill an
infection. Antibiotics and root canal therapy could be used together to
restore the tooth to a healthy state.</span><br />

<h1>
Cracked Tooth</h1>
Cracked teeth show a variety of symptoms, including erratic pain when
chewing, possibly with release of biting pressure, or pain when your
tooth is exposed to temperature extremes. It is sometimes difficult to
determine the extent of a cracked tooth and early diagnosis is important
if your tooth is fractured. When a crack reaches the tooth root, <a href="http://www.baileyfamilydental.com/root-canal-therapy.html">root canal treatment</a>
is frequently needed to treat the injured pulp. A crown will bind and
protect the cracked tooth. A cracked tooth that is not treated will
progressively get worse, eventually resulting in the loss of the tooth.<br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif;"> Toothaches can be caused by a variety of reasons. Hartland Dentist Bailey Family Dental has a few options for you to try.</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif;">Simple
toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to clear it of
debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can be caused or
aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the tooth and another
tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve
pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif;"><b>Broken, Fractured, or Displaced Tooth</b></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif;">A broken, fractured or displaced tooth is usually not a cause for alarm, as long as decisive, quick action is taken.<br />
<br />
If the tooth has been knocked out, try to place the tooth back in its socket while waiting to see your dentist.<br />
<br />
First, rinse the mouth of any blood or other debris and place a cold
cloth or compress on the check near the injury. This will keep down
swelling.<br />
<br />
If you cannot locate the tooth back in its socket, hold the dislocated
tooth by the crown - not the root. Next, place it in a container of warm
milk, saline or the victim's own saliva and keep it in the solution
until you arrive at the emergency room or dentist's office.<br />
<br />
For a fractured tooth, it is best to rinse with warm water and again,
apply a cold pack or compress. Ibuprofen may be used to help keep down
swelling.<br />
<br />
If the tooth fracture is minor, the tooth can be sanded or if necessary,
restored by the dentist if the pulp is not severely damaged.<br />
<br />
If a child's primary tooth has been loosened by an injury or an emerging
permanent tooth, try getting the child to gently bite down on an apple
or piece of caramel; in some cases, the tooth will easily separate from
the gum.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.baileyfamilydental.com/"><img alt="Hartland Dentists, Hartland dental, " border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UDih9Zru6zw/UXq2j2RwP8I/AAAAAAAAAIA/SP8cWOHG9Ng/s1600/Bailey%2BLogo.jpg" title="" /></a></div>
<br />
Anyone who participates in a sport that carries a significant risk of
injury should wear a mouth protector. Sports like basketball, baseball,
gymnastics, and volleyball all pose risks to your gum tissues, as well
as your teeth. We usually think of football and hockey as the most
dangerous to the teeth, but nearly half of sports-related mouth injuries
occur in basketball and baseball.<br />
<br />
A mouth guard can prevent serious injuries such as concussions,
cerebral hemorrhages, incidents of unconsciousness, jaw fractures and
neck injuries by helping to avoid situations where the lower jaw gets
jammed into the upper jaw. Mouth guards are effective in moving soft
issue in the oral cavity away from the teeth, preventing laceration and
bruising of the lips and cheeks, especially for those who wear
orthodontic appliances.<br />
<br />
Mouth protectors, which typically cover the upper teeth, can cushion a
blow to the face, minimizing the risk of broken teeth and injuries to
the soft tissues of the mouth. If you wear braces or another fixed
dental appliance on your lower jaw, a mouth protector is available for
these teeth as well.<br />
<br />
A properly fitted mouth protector may be especially important for
people who wear braces or have fixed bridge work. A blow to the face
could damage the brackets or other fixed orthodontic appliances. A mouth
protector also provides a barrier between the braces and your cheek or
lips, limiting the risk of soft tissue injuries. Although mouth
protectors typically only cover the upper teeth, your dentist or
orthodontist may suggest that you use a mouth protector on the lower
teeth if you have braces on these teeth too. If you have a retainer or
other removable appliance, do not wear it during any contact sports.
<br />
<h2>
<b>Types of mouth guards</b></h2>
There are three types of mouth protectors:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div id="slot-main">
<br />
<li>
<b>Stock</b> - Inexpensive and come pre-formed, ready to
wear. Unfortunately, they often don't fit very well. They can be bulky
and can make breathing and talking difficult.</li>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<li>
<b>Boil and bite </b>- Can be bought at many sporting goods
stores and may offer a better fit than stock mouth protectors. They
should be softened in water, then inserted and allowed to adapt to the
shape of your mouth. If you don't follow the directions carefully you
can wind up with a poor-fitting mouth protector.</li>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<li>
<b>Custom-fitted</b> - Made by your dentist for you
personally. They are more expensive than the other versions, but because
they are customized, they can offer a better fit than anything you can
buy off the shelf.</li>

You may be considering dental implants for a lot of reasons:
durability, functionality and imperviousness to decay. But perhaps the
winning reason is how they will make you look — their life-like quality
can restore a smile marred by missing or disfigured teeth. Achieving
that result, though, requires your dental team to determine beforehand
the state of your bone and gums, and treat any conditions that would
interfere with the final result.<br />
The first area to look at is the amount of bone available to support
the implant. An adequate amount is necessary not only to stabilize the
implant, but to also ensure proper placement needed to achieve the best
“smile” result. Your specialist, then, will take steps to protect
available bone during procedures, or even aid in building up the bone
structure by inserting grafting materials that encourage new bone
growth.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4F_gfgrZnKo/UnYRqI7jj9I/AAAAAAAAAOo/Zsqd4M_yXOc/s1600/baileys.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4F_gfgrZnKo/UnYRqI7jj9I/AAAAAAAAAOo/Zsqd4M_yXOc/s1600/baileys.png" /></a></div>
The degree of bone volume in adjacent natural teeth is also important
because it can greatly affect the health of the papillae. This is the
triangular-shaped gum tissue that occurs between each tooth that gives
normal teeth their arched appearance. Insufficient bone in these areas
could cause the papillae not to regenerate properly around the implant
site, which creates unsightly dark spaces in the gum tissue known as
“black hole disease.”<br />
We must next consider the quality and health of your gum tissue.
Patients whose gum tissue tends to be thin face difficulties during
cosmetic surgical procedures; their thinner tissues are also more prone
for objects behind them to be visible, including metal or other crown
materials.<br />
Our aim is an implant crown emerging from the surrounding gum tissue
just as a natural tooth would. To achieve this requires knowing first
what we have to work with regarding your bone and gums, and to address
any issues that are problematic. One aid in this process is to affix a
temporary “prototype” crown on the implant to wear while the permanent
crown is manufactured. This allows you to “test-drive” the new look, and
make adjustments in the final product regarding color and materials.<br />
Accounting for all these factors — and then making adjustments along
the way — will help ensure the final crown meets your expectations for
function and appearance.<br />

Periodontal or gum disease is a serious condition that could lead to
tooth and bone loss. Unfortunately, you may not even realize you have it
— the disease in its early stages can be difficult to detect. If you
know what to look for, however, a few signs can tell you something isn’t
quite right.<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CFaOYnxPwTg/UnYQaMQrIqI/AAAAAAAAAOc/yZTtZoEEbZg/s1600/Bailey+Logo+-+Copy+-+clear.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CFaOYnxPwTg/UnYQaMQrIqI/AAAAAAAAAOc/yZTtZoEEbZg/s1600/Bailey+Logo+-+Copy+-+clear.jpg" /></a>Bleeding gums after brushing, for example, are a likely indication
that your gum tissues are inflammed due to an infection caused by
bacterial plaque. Coupled with chronic inflammation from the body’s
response to the infection, the unhealthy tissues bleed easily.<br />
As the disease progresses, you may also notice changes in your gums’
appearance: redness at the gum line, as well as some slight swelling.
Receding gums expose more of the tooth below the enamel crown. As roots
become exposed to the oral environment, you’ll begin to notice painful
sensitivity to hot or cold. In time, the disease may cause bone loss
producing other signs like loose teeth or teeth shifting from their
original position.<br />
In some cases, gum disease can cause a painfully acute abscess. This
occurs when the bacterial infection becomes isolated in a pocket of
space between the teeth and gums. As the body attempts to fight the
infection, its defenses are overwhelmed and the abscess becomes painful,
swollen and filled with pus.<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/JjHsNAYbb28?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe>If you encounter any of these signs, it’s important to take action
quickly to minimize the damage and stop the disease’s progress. Our
first priority is to remove as much bacterial plaque and calculus as
possible and may consider antibacterial and antibiotic treatments. This
may take more than one session, but it’s necessary in stopping the
disease.<br />
Long-term success, though, will depend on improved oral hygiene
(brushing and flossing), regular office cleanings to remove difficult to
reach plaque and calculus, and checkups to monitor the condition of
your gums. You can also lower the risk of reoccurrence with improvements
in diet and life-style (such as quitting smoking). Instituting better
hygiene and lifestyle habits, as well as keeping alert to any signs of
recurring disease will go a long way in preserving your teeth and
overall oral health.<br />

Finally: Your braces are off! Break out the taffy, bubble gum, corn on the cob... and... whoa!!... the retainer?
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mXhvJlXalwE/U7EHIcSUKmI/AAAAAAAAATg/AtQHtHr4FfU/s1600/TBailey.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mXhvJlXalwE/U7EHIcSUKmI/AAAAAAAAATg/AtQHtHr4FfU/s1600/TBailey.png" height="200" width="132" /></a>Yes, the retainer. As the name implies, this simple device will
ensure that your pearly whites remain in the new, desired position
you've worked so diligently to achieve. Here's why:<br />
The same physiological properties that allow your teeth to move when
you're wearing braces are always at work — braces simply direct that
movability in controlled ways. Teeth are not set into your jaw bone like
posts fixed in concrete; rather, the root portion is attached to the
bone by elastic periodontal (peri – around; odont – tooth) ligaments
that permit micromovement of teeth all the time. The periodontal tissues
are living; therefore, they are always changing and “remodeling” (just
as hair grows, skin peels, etc.) When a light orthodontic force is
placed on a tooth the following processes occur:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>on the pulling or tension side, the periodontal ligament will
activate bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) to deposit new bone to fill in
the area from where the tooth was previously, and</li>
<li>on the pressure side, the periodontal ligament will activate
bone-resorbing cells (osteoclasts) to remove bone allowing the tooth to
move in that direction.</li>
</ul>
Visualize drawing your hand forward through water: The water parts in front of your hand and fills in behind it.<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vze0txehVqQ/U7EHMYeHxrI/AAAAAAAAATo/KDfAm2C7Sk4/s1600/RICH2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vze0txehVqQ/U7EHMYeHxrI/AAAAAAAAATo/KDfAm2C7Sk4/s1600/RICH2.jpg" height="200" width="132" /></a>Once your teeth are in their desired position and your braces are
removed, your teeth will tend to return to their old position if they
are not stabilized or “retained” in their new one long enough for the
bone and ligament to re-form and mature around them. This can take
several months. In addition, orthodontic treatment stretches collagen
fibers in gum tissues to some extent, contributing to the forces that
tend to shift teeth back in the direction from which they came. The gum
tissues will continue to exert this pressure until these tissues
remodel. This can take longer than the bone and ligament stabilization,
as collagen cells reorganize at a much slower rate.<br />
<h2>
Types of Retainers</h2>
The type of retainer you will use, how frequently and for how long
will depend on your unique situation. The most familiar type of retainer
is removable and one you may not have to wear all the time, at least
after the first couple of months. In cases where the retainer is going
to be needed for a long-term period, a common alternative is to have
thin retainer wires bonded to the inside surfaces of the front teeth so
they don't show.<br />
Considering how much time, effort, and sometimes expense is required
in improving your smile, the retainer is your assurance that it was all
well spent. Even people getting a comparatively simple pedicure/manicure
don't leave the salon without letting the polish dry!<br />

women. That may not sound like a lot, but the disease often isn't
detected until it has progressed to its later stages when it's harder to
treat and the outlook for survival is significantly diminished.<br />
The main areas where oral carcinomas (cancers) occur are:<br />
<ul>
<li>the tongue (most common location, particularly the sides and underneath)</li>
<li>the lip (especially the lower one),</li>
<li>the oral cavity (the mouth), and</li>
<li>the pharynx (back of mouth and throat).</li>
</ul>
<h2>
Risk Factors You Can't Control</h2>
Even if you can't change these risks, awareness helps raise your
vigilance in order to catch potential problems early when treatment
options and positive outcomes are greatest.
<br />

<li><strong>Aging</strong> — More than 90% of all oral cancers occur in
individuals over 40. However, the incidence among younger people has
been on the uptick recently, perhaps related to lifestyle behaviors.</li>
<li><strong>Race</strong> — African Americans have a higher incidence of oral cancer than Caucasians.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
Risk Factors You Can Address</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Smoking and chewing tobacco</strong> — Smokers are at five to nine times greater risk and snuff and tobacco chewers at about four times greater risk</li>
<li><strong>Alcohol</strong> — Moderate to heavy drinkers are at three to nine times greater risk; the higher the alcohol content, the greater the risk</li>
<li><strong>Chronic sun exposure</strong> — Often connected with lip cancers.</li>
<li><strong>Viral infections</strong> — Namely the human papilloma virus
“HPV 16,” which has been linked to sexual transmission (oral sex) and
cervical cancer in women.</li>
</ul>
One way you can address these risk factors is to have a diet rich in
fruits/vegetables, which are high in antioxidants because they been
found to have a protective effect against a variety of cancers,
including oral.<br />
As part of your routine oral hygiene, you should be closely
monitoring any non-healing changes in your mouth (e.g., ulcers or sores,
white or red patches on the tongue). And rest assured that as part of
your regular check-ups, our office performs a comprehensive visual
screening for signs of oral cancer.<br />

related diseases, all of which involve the tissues that surround the
teeth. It's sometimes thought of as a “silent” malady, because its
symptoms — bad breath, soreness, or bleeding of the gums — may be masked
by other conditions. Or, they may simply be disregarded.<br />
But don't ignore these symptoms! Left untreated, periodontitis can
have serious health consequences. Here are five things you should know
about this disease.<br />
<strong>Gum disease is a chronic inflammatory disease.</strong><br />
That means it's a disease related to a natural response of the body's
immune system (inflammation), and it develops over time (chronic).
Gingivitis, an inflammation of the gums, may be the first step in the
disease's progression. Left untreated, it can be followed by destruction
of the periodontal ligament (which helps hold the tooth in place), loss
of the supporting bone, and ultimately tooth loss. But it doesn't stop
there.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_dmCm4H3F-4/U2OyMxUPaKI/AAAAAAAAARw/l_lU5KYVbTw/s1600/building.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_dmCm4H3F-4/U2OyMxUPaKI/AAAAAAAAARw/l_lU5KYVbTw/s1600/building.jpg" /></a></div>
<strong>The effects of gum disease aren't confined to the mouth.</strong><br />
In fact, recent research has suggested a connection between
periodontal disease and chronic diseases in the whole body. There is
evidence that severe periodontal disease is linked to an increased risk
of cardiovascular diseases (like heart attack and stroke), pregnancy
complications, and other conditions. It is also believed to have an
adverse effect on blood-sugar control in diabetics.<br />
<strong>Gum disease is caused by the bacteria in dental plaque.</strong><br />
Oral bacteria tend to build up in a colony of living organisms called
a biofilm. Of the many types of bacteria that live in the mouth, only a
relatively few are harmful. When oral biofilms are not regularly
disturbed by brushing and flossing, the disease-causing types tend to
predominate. Once it gains a foothold, treating gum disease can become
more difficult.<br />
<strong>Prevention is the best defense.</strong><br />
Good personal oral hygiene, carried out on a daily basis, is probably
the best defense against many forms of periodontal disease. Proper
brushing and flossing is effective in disrupting the growth of dental
plaques. Lifestyle changes — like quitting smoking and reducing stress —
are also associated with lessening your chance of developing the
disease. Genetics also seems to play a part, so those with a family
history of periodontitis should pay special attention to preventive
measures.<br />
<strong>Prompt, effective treatment is critical.</strong><br />
Bleeding of the gums is never a normal occurrence. But sometimes this
(and other symptoms of gum disease) may be overlooked. During routine
dental checkups, we can detect the early signs of periodontal disease.
We can then recommend an appropriate treatment, from routine scaling and
root planing (a cleaning of the teeth) to other therapies. So, besides
brushing and flossing regularly, don't neglect regular examinations —
they're the best way to stop this disease before it becomes more
serious.<br />

Have you been avoiding seeing a dentist because you are afraid that
the visit might be unpleasant or painful? Are you unhappy with the
appearance of your teeth and the health of your mouth, even envious of
others who are able to visit their dentist without hesitation?<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4F_gfgrZnKo/UnYRqI7jj9I/AAAAAAAAAOo/Zsqd4M_yXOc/s1600/baileys.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4F_gfgrZnKo/UnYRqI7jj9I/AAAAAAAAAOo/Zsqd4M_yXOc/s1600/baileys.png" /></a>If you've answered yes to these questions, you are not alone. Many
people experience some anxiety about visiting their dentist. Some fears
are based on past negative experiences, indirectly influenced by family
members or friends, or even by images seen in the movies. Regardless of
the origin of your fear, we will work with you to turn negative
perceptions or experiences into positive ones. The most important thing
to remember is that allowing dental problems to remain untreated can
have bad consequences, including toothache, infection, poor appearance
and even general health complications.<br />
We will listen to you and even encourage you to express your
feelings. Tell us the details of your fear and anxiety. You won't be
judged but, instead, we want to understand exactly what troubles you, so
that together we help you overcome what is preventing you from getting
the care you want and need.<br />

You will be in control at all times and we will never rush you. First
we'll spend the time necessary to get you comfortable, before we even
do any dentistry. After all, attempting to rush through a procedure may
only incite more anxiety, and that is the last thing we want to do! We

Can you explain?</strong><br />
A: It’s no wonder you’ve heard of them: Dental implants have been called
the most exciting advance in dentistry in the last 50 years!
Essentially, the implant itself is a small, screw-shaped post that is
placed in the jaw bone (underneath the gums), and serves as a
replacement for the tooth’s roots. It is attached to a lifelike crown (a
replacement for the visible part of the tooth) via a sturdy connector
called an abutment. Dental implants offer results that can last a
lifetime, and have the highest documented success rate of any tooth
replacement system — over 95%.<br />
<strong>Q: How does a dental implant work?</strong><br />
A: A few decades ago, it was discovered that titanium metal has a unique
property: It can actually become fused to living bone tissue in a
process called osseointegration. Implants are made of titanium, and take
advantage of this feature. Solidly anchored in place by both
osseointegration and mechanical forces, dental implants provide a strong
and durable base for several different kinds of natural-looking and
fully functional replacement teeth.<br />
<strong>Q: What are dental implants used for?</strong><br />
A: One dental implant can be used to replace just one missing tooth
with a crown that matches your own teeth. Two or more dental implants
can be used to support a fixed bridge (a series of three or more
replacement teeth) without requiring any work to be done on the
adjacent, healthy teeth. Four or more implants can support an entire
arch (complete top or bottom set) of replacement teeth that won’t slip
and will never need to be removed — a great alternative to traditional
removable dentures! Implants can also be used to support some kinds of
removable dentures, and in certain orthodontic procedures.<br />
<strong>Q: What is the procedure for getting a dental implant?</strong><br />
A: The implant process begins with a consultation, a thorough exam, and
a set of diagnostic images. Placing one or more implants involves minor
surgery, which is typically performed in the dental office and requires
only local anesthesia. After the area has been numbed, a small opening
is made in the tissue of gums and jaw bone, and the implant is carefully
inserted. In some situations, a temporary replacement tooth may be
placed on the implant immediately; otherwise, the implant will be
allowed to rest for a period of weeks. In either case, the permanent
replacement teeth will be secured to the implants at a subsequent visit.<br />
<strong>Q: What are the advantages of an implant over other tooth replacement methods?</strong><br />
A: We already mentioned the high success rate and the long life of
dental implants. Another advantage is the fact that implants stop the
deterioration of bone in the jaw that inevitably follows tooth loss.
Bone loss, a “hidden” consequence of tooth loss, is what tends to make
people who are missing teeth look older than they really are. Implants
need no special care beyond what you would give your natural teeth, and
their longevity can make them a cost-effective investment in the long
term. Plus, they look, function and “feel” just like your natural teeth.<br />

knowing that you have chosen a successful tooth replacement option, with
long-term success rates of well over 95%. Your implant will look, feel
and function just like the natural teeth that it has replaced.<br />
However, despite the natural appearance, when you visit us for a
regular cleaning, you may notice that we are using special instruments
to clean around the implant. Cleaning around implants differs from the
maintenance of your natural teeth for two reasons:<br />
<ol>
<li>Your implants attach to the surrounding bone and gums in a very different way from your natural teeth.</li>
<li>The materials that comprise your implants are very different than those that make up your natural teeth.</li>
</ol>
Cleaning implants is just as important as cleaning natural teeth,
because both depend on healthy surrounding tissues for support. Just as
bacterial biofilm (plaque) collects on your natural teeth, it can also
collect on your implant. That is why it is very important to brush and
floss thoroughly on a daily basis at home. Without daily biofilm
removal, the gums surrounding your implant can become infected, leading
to bone loss and eventually loss of the implant.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UDih9Zru6zw/UXq2j2RwP8I/AAAAAAAAAIA/SP8cWOHG9Ng/s1600/Bailey+Logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UDih9Zru6zw/UXq2j2RwP8I/AAAAAAAAAIA/SP8cWOHG9Ng/s1600/Bailey+Logo.jpg" /></a></div>
Your regular dental cleanings will also play an important role in
keeping dental implants infection-free, and we will select the right
instruments for a professional cleaning. We will ensure that these
instruments will not damage the crown, abutment, or the implant itself.
If implants are scratched, they can attract and harbor bacteria. That's
why the instruments we use, called scalers and curettes, are most often
made of plastics and resins. Natural teeth don't scratch in the same
way, and therefore metal instruments need to be used to clean them.<br />
A number of power instruments have nylon or plastic sheaths or tips
to minimize implant damage. They clean by using high-frequency
vibration, which may be necessary if large quantities of debris have
accumulated on your implant. We use these on a low power setting with a
lot of water irrigation, and sometimes antibacterial solutions, to clean
and flush material.<br />
When it comes to keeping your implants infection-free, keep in mind
that the most successful formula will be consistent oral hygiene at home
mixed with regular dental cleanings.<br />

The dentists at <a href="http://www.baileyfamilydental.com/">Bailey Family Dental</a> of Hartland Can help you with crooked or severely stained teeth with Veneers! </h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif;">Veneers
are thin pieces of porcelain cemented over the front of your teeth to
change their color or shape. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif;">Veneers are used on teeth with uneven
surfaces or are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or
crooked. Little or no anesthesia is needed. Veneers have a longer life
expectancy and color stability than bonding, and highly resist permanent
staining from coffee, tea, or even cigarette smoking.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_dmCm4H3F-4/U2OyMxUPaKI/AAAAAAAAARw/l_lU5KYVbTw/s1600/building.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hartland Wi Dentists, Family Dental, Emergency Dentists" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_dmCm4H3F-4/U2OyMxUPaKI/AAAAAAAAARw/l_lU5KYVbTw/s1600/building.jpg" title="" /></a><span style="font-family: lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://www.baileyfamilydental.com/veneers.html">Veneers</a> are usually made by a dental lab technician working from a
model provided by your dentist. Veneers are usually irreversible because
it`s necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth to
accommodate the shell.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Porcelain veneers can mask undesirable defects, such as teeth stained
by tetracycline, by an injury, or as a result of a root-canal procedure,
and are ideal for masking discolored fillings in front teeth. Patients
with gaps between their front teeth or teeth that are chipped or worn
may consider porcelain veneers.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Typically, veneers entail at least three appointments: diagnosis and treatment planning, preparation, and bonding.<br />
During the tooth preparation visit, usually lasting one to two hours,
the teeth are lightly buffed to allow for the small added thickness of
the veneer. Usually, about a half a millimeter of the tooth is removed,
which may require a local anesthetic. During the same visit, a mold is
taken of the teeth, and sent to the laboratory for the fabrication of
the veneers.<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UDih9Zru6zw/UXq2j2RwP8I/AAAAAAAAAIA/SP8cWOHG9Ng/s1600/Bailey+Logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Cosmetic Dentists, Hartland Cosmetic Dentists, Dentists" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UDih9Zru6zw/UXq2j2RwP8I/AAAAAAAAAIA/SP8cWOHG9Ng/s1600/Bailey+Logo.jpg" title="" /></a>During the final "bonding" visit, also about one or two hours, the
veneers are placed on the tooth surface with water or glycerine on the
teeth to check their fit and get a sense of the shade or color. While
the veneers are resting on your teeth, they can be adjusted with various
shades of cement to match the color of your teeth. To apply the veneer,
the tooth is cleansed with specific chemicals to achieve a bond. Once a
special cement is sandwiched between the veneer and tooth, a visible
light beam, or laser, causes a catalyst to be released, hardening the
cement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During a two-week period of adjustment that follows, you may notice the
change of size and shape in your teeth. It is important to brush and
floss daily. After one or two weeks, you`ll return for a follow-up
appointment. Porcelain veneers are reasonable facsimiles of natural
teeth, not perfect replacements. It`s not uncommon to see slight
variations in the color of porcelain veneers upon close inspection, as
this occurs even in natural teeth.<br /><br />

With the new e-cigarette trend, users have been told that the vapors
from these kinds of cigarettes do not harm their teeth.</h2>
<h4>
The real truth
is that ingesting any form of nicotine whether from traditional
cigarettes or electronic ones can cause periodontal disease.</h4>
<h3>
More Dental Problems in Teens Due to E- Cigarettes</h3>
Currently there seems to be no real regulations on who
can get their hands on these e-cigarettes, and thus kids are dabbling in the use of e-cigarettes under the
auspices that it is perfectly safe. The real truth is that nicotine
decreases the blood flow in your body.<br />
Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, meaning it reduces blood flow. As a
result, less oxygen and nutrients are fed to the gums. If less oxygen
reaches the gums, a smoker has a higher probability of suffering from
gum disease over their life.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_dmCm4H3F-4/U2OyMxUPaKI/AAAAAAAAARs/cVfOWzPNzMg/s1600/building.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_dmCm4H3F-4/U2OyMxUPaKI/AAAAAAAAARs/cVfOWzPNzMg/s1600/building.jpg" /></a></div>
Since more teenagers are using e-cigarettes, there has been an
increase of gum disease in younger people. This is why regular checkups
are crucial, especially if you smoke traditional or e-cigarettes. Once
the gum disease begins, it can spread throughout your mouth and affect
your blood stream if ignored. It is important to visit your dentist like the ones at <a href="http://www.baileyfamilydental.com/">Bailey Family Dental </a>in Hartland Wi regardless if your are a traditional smoker or e-cig smoker. <br />
<h2>
Signs of Gum Disease</h2>
<ul class="thislist">
<li class="thislist">Gum recession </li>
<li class="thislist">Bleeding or inflamed gums </li>
<li class="thislist">Loose teeth </li>
<li class="thislist">Persistent bad breath </li>
<li class="thislist">Sores in the mouth </li>
<li class="thislist">Tooth loss </li>
</ul>
With less oxygen and nutrients reaching the gum line,
your gums can become recessed, bleed, experience inflammation, along
with many other issues. For instance, you can be experiencing a loose
tooth, bad breath, sores in your mouth and tooth loss. Nicotine can
cause all of these symptoms and more. Nicotine can also lead to mouth
and lung cancer. Additionally, smokers experience yellowing of their
teeth, which requires teeth bleaching and other treatment.<br />
<br />
Regardless of whether e-cigarettes are promoted as a “healthier”
alternative to smoking, any form of nicotine puts your teeth, gums, and
jaw at risk for dental health problems. The best method of preventing
periodontal disease is to floss regularly, avoid nicotine, visit a
dentist regularly, and eat well.<br />

Hartland Dentists Bailey Family Dental<blockquote class="tr_bq">
It is easy to take some things for granted until they're suddenly gone. Imagine what it would be like if you lost one or two of your front teeth. Smiling, talking or eating they'd all be pretty unpleasant. A properly fitted mouth guard, or mouth protector, is an important piece of athletic gear that can help protect your smile. You may have seen mouth guards used in contact sports, particularly in football, boxing, ice hockey, lacrosse and field hockey. Mouth guards help cushion blows that might otherwise cause broken teeth and injuries to the lips, tongue, face or jaw. It’s believed that they also may reduce the severity and incidence of concussions. You don’t have to be on the football field or in a hockey rink to benefit from a properly fitted mouth guard. New findings in sports dentistry show that even in noncontact sports, such as gymnastics, mouth guards will help protect participants. Many experts recommend that everyone from children to adults wear a mouth guard during any recreational activity that might pose a risk of injury to the mouth. </blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">Why should I wear a mouthguard?
</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">A
mouthguard can prevent serious injuries such as broken teeth, jaw
fractures, cerebral hemorrhage and neck injuries by helping to avoid
situations where the lower jaw gets jammed into the upper jaw.
Mouthguards are effective in moving soft tissue in the oral cavity away
from the teeth, preventing laceration and bruising of the lips and
cheeks, especially for those who wear orthodontic appliances. They may
also reduce the severity and incidence of concussions.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">In what sports should I wear a mouthguard?
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Anytime
there is a strong chance for contact with other participants or hard
surfaces, it is advisable to wear a mouthguard. Players who participate
in basketball, softball, football, wrestling, soccer, lacrosse, rugby,
in-line skating and martial arts, as well as recreational sports such as
skateboarding and bicycling, should wear mouthguards while competing.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Parents
are sometimes uninformed about the level of contact and potential for
serious dental injuries involved with sports in which the child
participates. Some, though not all, schools reinforce the health
advantage of mouthguards for their contact sports. Cost may be another
consideration, although mouthguards come in a variety of price ranges.

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b>Stock mouthguards</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
The
lowest cost option is a ready-made, stock item, which offers the least
protection because the fit adjustment is limited. It may interfere with
speech and breathing because this mouthguard requires that the jaw be
closed to hold it in place. A stock mouthguard is not considered
acceptable as a facial protective device.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b>Mouth-formed
mouthguards</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
There are two types of mouth-formed mouthguards. The first
is a shell-liner mouthguard that is made with an acrylic material that
is poured into an outer shell, where it forms a lining. When placed in
an athlete's mouth, the protector's lining material molds to the teeth
and is allowed to set. Another type is a thermoplastic, or
"boil-and-bite," mouthguard. This mouthguard is softened in hot water
and then placed in the mouth and shaped around the teeth by using
finger, tongue and sometimes biting pressure.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b>Custom-made mouthguards</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
The best choice is a mouthguard custom-made by your dentist. It offers
the best protection, fit and comfort level because it is made from a
cast to fit your teeth.

<a href="http://www.baileyfamilydental.com/blog/post/minor-procedure-can-help-keep-the-space-between-teeth-closed.html">Minor Procedure Can Help Keep the Space Between Teeth Closed</a></h1>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br />
You have a beautiful smile, but with one noticeable flaw — there's a
small gap between your two front teeth. It's a common occurrence that
can be corrected with orthodontics.<br />
There are a number of causes for this wider spacing, including an
excessive overlap bite of the upper teeth over the lower, habits such as
tongue-thrusting or finger-sucking, or extra (or even missing) teeth.
But one of the most common is the presence of an overly large muscle
attachment called a frenum or, as it's sometimes referred to, frenulum.
If that's the case, you may need a minor surgical procedure in addition
to orthodontic treatment to ensure the space remains closed.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-thKTZdJq2zI/Ur3alcMK4zI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/fXmRSsFCFY4/s1600/gap2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-thKTZdJq2zI/Ur3alcMK4zI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/fXmRSsFCFY4/s1600/gap2.jpg" /></a></div>
The frenum is the fold of tissue that contains some muscle tissue
that connects the gum to the lip. In certain people, a larger than
normal frenum may extend further to the front of the roof of their
mouth, just behind the teeth, and may also extend lower between the
teeth and contribute to the gap. Unless some of this tissue is removed,
it can force the teeth apart again after the gap has been closed through
orthodontics.</blockquote>

<a href="http://www.baileyfamilydental.com/">Bailey family Dental</a> offers <a href="http://www.baileyfamilydental.com/services.html">Teeth Whitening</a> among its services to Hartland Wi. Here are some questions we are asked about sensitivity to your teeth after whitening. </h3>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Whitening your teeth is one surefire way to boost your
self-confidence and improve the look of your smile. It is also a rather
simple procedure that can be accomplished either at the dental office or
at your own home. The only downside to whitening your teeth is the
sensitivity that sometimes develops. There are ways to combat this issue
and still allow yourself to whiten your teeth and achieve that
beautiful smile.<br />

Although the exact cause of sensitivity from whitening is largely
unknown, we do know that the properties of peroxide (one of the main
ingredients in most tooth whitening products) has been shown to irritate
the tooth nerve. This irritation or inflammation causes symptoms such
as cold sensitivity and a tingling sensation.<br />
Try the following techniques when whitening your teeth at home if
sensitivity occurs. If you have the procedure done in a dental office
and start having issues with sensitivity, feel free to try some of these
techniques, but be sure to follow any instructions given to you by your
dentist.
<ul>
<li><b>It is very important</b> to follow the instructions of your dentist when using a professional product or the manufacturer's instructions for the over the counter products. (Never whiten your teeth for longer than recommended.)</li>
<br />
<li><b>Try cutting back</b> to every other day once the sensitivity
starts along with shorter application times. Sometimes just giving your
teeth a short break between treatments can help to alleviate the
symptoms.</li>
<br />
<li><b>Taking <a href="http://pain.about.com/od/treatment/p/ibuprofen.htm">Advil</a> or Aleve</b>
can help reduce the symptoms if taken before applying the whitening
product. Taking it ahead of time may prevent the symptoms from
surfacing.</li>
<br />
<li><b>Check to see</b> if you are using a product with a lower
peroxide level (6 to 10% is a relatively low peroxide level for most
people). While you may think that the higher the level of peroxide, the
better the result, it is not worth it if you and your teeth are
miserable.</li>
<br />
<li><b>Limit the cold drinks and foods</b> while you are whitening. Teeth may be temperature sensitive under normal conditions, but whitening can really exasperate <a href="http://dentistry.about.com/od/dentalfactsfaqs/f/toothsensitiv.htm">sensitivity issues</a>.</li>
<br />
<li><b>Overuse</b> of whitening products can also cause sensitivity.
When used to excess, they have the potential to make your teeth very
sensitive or even damage them.</li>
<br />
<li><b>Using <a href="http://chemistry.about.com/b/2011/09/11/how-fluoride-works.htm">fluoride rinses</a> and/or sensitivity toothpaste</b>
can help alleviate the symptoms. Fluoride treatments are also sometimes
recommended either before, during or after you whiten your teeth.</li>
</ul>
