Root Canal Therapy in Dallas, TX

January 18, 2016

 

*Actual Patient*

Has your dentist or endodontist told you that you need root canal treatment? If so, you’re not alone. Millions of teeth are treated and saved each year with root canal, or endodontic, treatment. Learn how root canal treatment can relieve your tooth pain and save your smile.

Your teeth contain several layers: the outer protective enamel, a secondary layer of sensitive dentin, and an inner pulp that contains components commonly referred to as the “nerve” of the tooth. Each pulp chamber branches off, forming canals that lead toward the tooth root tip. These infamous root canals provide a means for the tooth to absorb what it needs from the blood and get rid of toxins or other unnecessary materials via the blood stream. A deep cavity, traumatic injury, or tooth fracture can make the canal susceptible to bacterial infection, which can kill the pulp, stimulate increased blood flow, and create pressure within the tooth. This can cause severe tooth pain and may initiate bone degeneration, tooth loss, and even more acute pain. If you see a dentist in the earliest stages of this condition, the tooth may be saved with a root canal. Otherwise, it should be extracted and replaced with a prosthetic.

Will root canal therapy hurt? Not with today’s advanced analgesics and technology. In fact, the entire process can be so comfortable that many patients doze off. Oftentimes, root canal therapy can be completed in a single appointment. We simply clean out the diseased canal, fill it with a biologically-inert substance, seal it from further infection, and you’re on your way. While some patients experience post-procedural soreness or slight tissue inflammation, these are controllable with over-the-counter analgesics. Follow-up care involves thorough home hygiene and regular dental visits for cleanings and check ups.

Preview Your Future with Digital Imaging

January 5, 2016

When you decide to correct or enhance your smile, it’s often difficult to determine ahead of time exactly what kind of results to expect. After all, a smile is a pretty personal thing, and changing your smile can feel like changing your identity. That’s where cosmetic digital imaging comes into play. Digital imaging is computer software that allows us to take your digital photograph and manipulate it to reflect the procedures you’re considering. The result is a photo that shows you what your smile would look like after treatment. Whether you’re considering 1017529_110613153756_D10g

The process is quite simple. Once your dentist has completed your oral exam and discussed your smile goals, a treatment plan will be created. Various digital photos of your current smile will be taken and change factors will be keyed into the computer. The computer will immediately generate one or more graphic images that accurately demonstrate how the changes will affect the appearance of your mouth, as well as your overall facial appearance. It’s a fun process, and it can instigate excitement similar to when a sonogram reveals the gender of a new baby. Plus, you can take a photo of the new you home to share with family or friends.

Informed patients make wise decisions, and digital imaging allows you the opportunity to actually glimpse your future before committing to treatment. What more could you ask for?

A Beautiful smile is a valuable asset! Let us explain how our advanced procedures in both cosmetic and general dentistry can give you the attractive smile you’ve always wanted.

5 Early Warning Signs Of Bad Breath

December 14, 2015

According to the Bad Breath Report here are the 5 Early Warning Signs of Bad Breath:

1. Bad Breath In The Mornings

An image of a man with bad breath talking to a woman.

You’ve noticed that you have bad breath in the mornings. Many people do, in face, probably most do so you don’t need to feel bad about that. A simple brushing of teeth and a gargle of some nice minty mouthwash will usually clear things up pretty quickly.

2. Bad Breath Between Meal Times

Getting bad breath a few hours after eating can mean that you didn’t brush your teeth or that you’ve been sipping on some sweetened beverage. Your mouth could have dried out and now the food or sugar left over on the back of the tongue is starting to come alive, feeding all kinds of funky bacteria. Washing it all down with water and continuing to keep the mouth moist will prevent this. Brushing the teeth after eating will be a definite plus.

3. Bad Breath After Eating Garlic

Eating garlic or any other food that has a potent odor of its own is guaranteed to give you bad breath. This is something you must plan on and would probably be wise to stay away from foods like that when you know you will need to have a nice breath, or you will be somewhere on planet Earth where there are other people. In an emergency all you need to do is brush your teeth, gargle some mouthwash and pop a gun im the mouth. This will cut the kick out of the odor and give you a chance to excuse your self without making anyone pass out.

4. I Smell it But Others Say It’s Not There

Situations like this will happen to the best of us. Worrying about bad breath when it really is not there is a psychological thing and needs to be dealt with on the psychological level. If your peeps are telling you that your breath smells fine but you continue to smell some funk, it is probably just in your head. Trust your friends and just believe.

5. Bad Breath Even After Brushing Teeth

There are people with serious conditions that really need to be concerned about and probably have a dentist or a doctor take a look at. When you have bad breath all the time and nothing you do seems to really get rid of it, there may be some more serious issues that need to be dealt with.

A lot of people will have bad breath and will start worrying about it going to the dentist and seeing specialists when all they need to do is form some good habits and start taking care of their oral hygiene a little better. Majority of people with bad breath will not need medical attention but only their own.

Halitosis (also commonly referred to as bad breath) can undermine your confidence and negatively affect your social and professional relationships. To combat odor and restore sweet-smelling breath, Dr. Mitchell offers the Oxyfresh breath treatment system.

 

Missing Teeth are a serious concern. Dallas Dentist recommends Dental Implants for Restoring Smile

November 30, 2015

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , — @ 11:32 am

Dallas Dentist Recommends Dental Implants for Restoring Smile.

Missing teeth are a serious concern. An incomplete smile undermines your confidence, keeps you from eating the crunchy and chewy foods you love, and puts you at risk for serious health complications. Dr. Mitchell restores oral comfort, function, and appearance with custom-made dental implants.

Many people prefer dental implants to dentures because of their completely natural look and feel. Dental implants are a permanent addition to your smile, so you’ll never need to use adhesive or worry about slippage. If you have sufficient bone tissue and good oral health, implants might be right for you.

An oral surgeon will place tiny titanium posts in your jaw, one for each dental implant or a few to anchor a bridge, partial, or denture. Dr. Mitchell will oversee the entire process, then create and place your custom restorations in our office.

According to the ADA Dental Implants are an excellent long-term option for restoring your smile. 

Implants:

Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth and are designed to blend in with your other teeth. They are an excellent long-term option for restoring your smile. In fact, the development and use of implants is one of the biggest advances in dentistry in the past 40 years. Dental implants are made up of titanium and other materials that are compatible with the human body. They are posts that are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, where they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth.

Most patients find that a dental implant is secure, stable and a good replacement for their own tooth. There are generally three phases to getting an implant:

  • First, the dentist surgically places the implant into the jawbone. Your dentist may recommend a diet of soft foods, cold foods and warm soup during the healing process.
  • Next, the bone around the implant heals in a process called osseointegration. What makes an implant so strong is that the bone actually grows around it and holds it in place. Osseointegration means “combines with the bone” and takes time. Some patients might need to wait until the implant is completely integrated, up to several months, before replacement teeth can be attached to the implant. Other patients can have the implants and replacement teeth placed all in one visit.
  • Finally, it’s time for the placement of the artificial tooth/teeth. For a single tooth implant, your dentist will customize a new tooth for you, called a dental crown. The crown will be based on size, shape, color and fit, and will be designed to blend in with your other teeth. If you are replacing more than a single tooth, custom-made bridges or dentures will be made to fit your mouth and your implants. (Note: The replacement teeth usually take some time to make. In the meantime, your dentist may give you a temporary crown, bridge or denture to help you eat and speak normally until the permanent replacement is ready.)

If you are interested in dental implants, it’s a good idea to discuss it carefully with your dentist first. If you are in good general health this treatment may be an option for you. In fact, your health is more of a factor than your age. You may be medically evaluated by a physician before any implant surgery is scheduled.

Chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or leukemia, may interfere with healing after surgery. Patients with these issues may not be good candidates for implants. Using tobacco can also slow healing.
