One of the biggest benefits of using sedative medication during dental procedures is that these drugs are effective at reducing the patient’s sense of pain. In addition, they are able to relax and even drowse during the entire process.

Why are high levels of acidity harmful to the mouth? Acids weaken tooth enamel and this isn't something that the body can reverse. What's more is, eroded enamel is not just unsightly, it also leads to much more serious problems like tooth sensitivity and decay.

Left untreated, cavities can cause significant pain. Once the bacteria eats through your enamel, the exposed nerves will begin to send pain sensations when in contact with hot or cold temperatures.

It is recommended to replace your toothbrush after you have an episode of the flu, cold, or other viral infection. These viruses can implant themselves on the surface of the toothbrush leading to re-infection.

Among the many conditions poor oral health can cause, one of them is malnutrition. This is especially prevalent in those suffering from tooth or mouth pain because eating is uncomfortable or even painful.

In ancient Egypt, the tomb of Hesy-Re, a scribe, describes him as "the greatest of those who deal with teeth, and of physicians." Historians say this is the first reference to someone who apparently was a practitioner of early dentistry.

It is important to find a dentist with whom you can have an open conversation with about your concerns and to be sure that the dentist takes the time to communicate clearly the procedures that he or she recommends.

When considering dental implants, a periodontist or a prosthodontist would be the type of dentist to see as they specialize in the supporting structures of the teeth and dental prostheses. However, oral or maxillofacial surgeons can also do the procedure so you can consult with them as well.

Introducing laser dentistry into a practice allows it to offer a far wider range of procedures for the patient. With laser technology, a wide range of treatments that would have previously meant a referral can now be done in a patient's regular practice.

Experts believe the Chinese may have created the first metal tooth filings. Early medical texts reference a silver-based paste which appears to have been compounded as an amalgam to repair cavities in teeth.

The National Institutes of Health estimates that over ten million Americans have TMJ issues at any given time. While most of these people have mild pain that subsides on its own, it sometimes becomes chronic and debilitating. In these cases, it's important to seek treatment.

Did you know that brushing your teeth after each meal could actually help you lose weight? For some, brushing their teeth is a psychological signal that food time is over and cravings may stop. Now you can do something good for your teeth and your waistline at the same time.
