    Tonsil Stones: Symptoms, Causes, Treatments How to Remove

    June 1, 2023 /

    Key Facts Tonsil stones (tonsilloliths) are a common but typically harmless oral health condition. They are comprised of calcified debris like dead cells, mucus, and food particles that can accumulate in the tonsils.

Treatment options vary from self-removal techniques to surgical interventions, with a focus on oral hygiene for prevention. What are tonsil stones?

    Mandibular Tori: Removal, Symptoms, Causes, Surgery Treatment and Pictures

    May 24, 2023 /

    What Are Mandibular Tori? Mandibular tori (alternative Latin name: torus mandibularis) are harmless bony growths along the inner side of the lower jaw or mandible, below the tongue. They usually present as bilateral (on both sides), symmetrical, and hard nodules or lumps, usually smooth and painless. These outgrowths are typically benign, meaning they are noncancerous and do not pose a significant threat to health. They can vary in size and shape and may occur as a single large torus or multiple smaller ones. The exact cause of mandibular tori is still unclear, although several factors, including genetic predisposition, environmental influences, and certain oral behaviors, are believed to contribute to their…

    Best Water Flosser – What Is Water Flossing Waterpik vs. Flossing

    August 15, 2022 /

    Some parts of this article are taken directly from our Tooth Decay Masterclass. It's the most complete course on solving the problem of tooth decay once and for all! A water flosser, Waterpik, or oral irrigator are all names of fairly simple device that sprays water under high pressure to remove food stuck between your teeth. It is highly effective at removing food particles from between your teeth, and it does this job way better than classic floss. But the whole idea of using floss in tooth decay prevention is to remove or disrupt dental plaque and studies show that water flossers are not as good in this field. Water…

    September 16, 2021 /

    Some parts of this article are taken directly from our Tooth Decay Masterclass. Dental fillings are used to fill a tooth after a cavity (tooth decay) has been removed.

Types of fillings These days there are three most common types of dental fillings or restorations, each having a different estimated lifespan: Composite resins (so-called white fillings), longevity studies: [1], [2] – they are made from mix of acrylic and ceramic resins…

    What Is Root Resorption? Causes, Symptoms, and What to Do

    January 8, 2021 /

    Teeth root resorption is the loss of dental root structure that can occur as a result of orthodontic treatment. This can be a serious and potentially painful condition, and it is important for patients and their orthodontists to be aware of the risk factors and ways to prevent or manage root resorption. There are two main types of root resorption: external and internal. External root resorption occurs when the root structure is lost due to factors outside of the tooth, such as trauma or pressure from external sources. Internal root resorption, on the other hand, is caused by factors within the tooth, such as inflammation or infection. Orthodontic treatment can…

    September 18, 2020 /

    Is it possible to replace all of the natural teeth with dental implants? It is possible to replace all of your natural teeth with dental implants, but it is a complex and costly process that should only be done under the guidance of a qualified dental professional. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically implanted into the jawbone to support replacement teeth. The number of implants needed, as well as the type and size of the replacement teeth, will vary depending on the individual’s mouth and specific needs. The process of replacing all-natural teeth with dental implants typically requires multiple surgeries and a significant amount of time to…

    June 29, 2020 /
