Why Does My Tooth Filling Need Replacing?

Replacing Fillings - Brian Zuerlein DDS - Omaha Cosmetic Dentist

There is no perfect replacement for a healthy tooth. A tooth that has decay will need treatment with a tooth filling or other restoration depending on the degree of decay damage.

A tooth filling may last several years before needing to be replaced. Fillings are however subject to stress from chewing, clenching or grinding teeth, which puts tremendous force on fillings and tooth enamel. These factors can cause a filling to wear away, chip, crack or even fall out.

Some of the most common reasons a tooth filling may need to be replaced are:

Worn Edges: A tooth filling may eventually wear around the edges or pull away from the surrounding tooth enamel leaving a space for bacteria to enter and cause decay around the margins of the filling.

Poor Oral Hygiene: A poor diet, gum recession or a lack of saliva can contribute to tooth decay. If recurring tooth decay is not treated early it can progress deeper into the tooth causing need for further treatment.

Amalgam Fillings: Older amalgam fillings should be replaced with newer composite material for a more natural looking tooth surface. Composite fillings also restore the original strength of the tooth.

Regular dental examinations are important because problems like these can be detected at an early stage to prevent greater damage. If you are experiencing issues with an existing tooth filling, then please contact us so we may examine the area and find the best solution to treat it.

Gum Disease and Cancer… How They Are Linked!

Gum Disease and Cancer ::

The importance of keeping your gums healthy can’t be overlooked. Gum disease may increase the risk of developing cancer. In fact, in a study, periodontal disease was significantly associated with an increased risk of lung, kidney, pancreatic and blood cancers. The higher risk persisted even in people who had never smoked.

What is gum disease? It is an infection of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth. There is also a direct link between periodontal disease and the development of heart disease and diabetes. Inflammation in the blood has been linked with cancer.

A study was conducted by Dr. Dominique Michaud of Imperial College London to see if gum disease increases the risk of cancer. Nearly 50,000 men filled out health surveys and were followed for more than 17 years. The survey included information on gum disease and bone loss as well as the number of teeth and tooth loss. More than 5,700 of the men developed cancer, excluding cases of non-melanoma skin cancers and non-aggressive prostate cancer. The researchers found that men who had gum disease had 14 percent higher cancer risk compared to those who did not.

The risks were higher depending on the type of cancer. The report also stated that although it is premature to suggest that good oral hygiene can help prevent cancer – periodontal disease should nevertheless be treated.

Quick Facts About Gum Disease And Cancer ::

LEFT :: Without brushing and flossing, bacteria have the potential to damage your gums which could eventually lead to tooth loss.
RIGHT :: Research has shown that we see teeth as whiter when they are surrounded by pink gums.

Addressing Orthodontic Issues With ClearCorrect

Of course everyone would ideally like perfectly straight teeth for cosmetic reasons, however having a straight smile is actually better for you. This is why treating bite problems is so important.

There are a variety of conditions that require orthodontic procedures to correct them, such as:

Crowded Teeth
Crooked Teeth
Too Much Space Between Teeth
Overbite, Underbite and Overjet
Openbite

The cause of orthodontic problems is largely caused by heredity and bad habits, like thumb-sucking or tongue thrusting. When you have a bite issue, not only does it affect your appearance (and self-esteem), but it can also lead to other problems. For example, crowded teeth may be harder to clean leading to more cavities and periodontal issues. It may also be difficult to chew, teeth may be more likely to chip, along with jaw and misalignment, which can be caused by grinding or clenching of your teeth. All of the above secondary issues caused by orthodontic problems can result in costly restorations down the road.

What can be done NOW to prevent these issues? ClearCorrect invisible braces! ClearCorrect invisible braces straighten your teeth with a series of clear, custom-made aligners that show your smile, so most people won’t even know you are wearing them.

For February and March 2015 ONLY we are offering a 10% courtesy on all ClearCorrect cases.

Younger Looking Smile, Omaha Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Bolding

Your teeth’s enamel allows light to pass through in much the same way that glass does. This is why healthy tooth enamel has such a beautiful luster. Cosmetic porcelain veneers are crafted from porcelain, allowing for the same kind of luminous appearance. Despite being translucent, porcelain veneers can add strength to your enamel, brighten your smile several shades and mask flaws or damage.

Cosmetic veneers can help you achieve your dream smile if…

You are unhappy with the shade or uneven color or mottled appearance of your natural enamel.

Porcelain veneers MASK the cumulative staining effect from coffee, tea, colas and tobacco products.

You are unhappy with the shape and proportion of your teeth.

Porcelain veneers ENHANCE the appearance of your smile by acquiring more balanced proportions, disguising gaps and spaces, and covering chipped, broken or malformed teeth.

You are unhappy with the misaligned appearance of your teeth, but don’t want to wear braces.

Porcelain veneers IDEALIZE the appearance of slightly rotated, tipped or misaligned teeth by using veneers as instant orthodontics.

Bring your smile wish list to your next appointment and leave the rest to us!
