A Brief Guide to Dental Abscesses
A dental abscess is a pocket of pus inside your tooth or gum, caused by a bacterial infection. It can be very painful and also can stop you from sleeping well. A dental abscess will not get better without treatment, may start to affect other parts of the body and may even result in loss of the affected tooth. Dental abscesses are a very common reason for people to visit emergency dentists, as they wait until the pain is unbearable and then require out-of-hours treatment.
What Causes Denture Acrylic to Turn White?
Dentures don't just help you to eat; they are also an important aspect of your day-to-day interaction with people. That is why it is important that they appear as real as possible. After all, it is hardly good for your confidence when people are staring at and commenting on your dentures all day long.
To that end, finding a reputable dentist should be your first priority when you are looking to replace teeth with dentures.
About Me
Hi! My name is Molly, and in spite of being diligent about brushing and flossing, I suffer from a lot of oral health issues including cavities and gum disease. I have realized over the years how big of a role genetics plays in oral health, and I find it to be such an exciting topic that I have created a blog about it. In this blog, I am going to include info about genetics and dentistry, but I am also going to include posts about what to do if you "inherited" challenging teeth from your family. For example, sealants have helped me to avoid cavities. I hope you find this blog useful, and that you keep returning to read its posts! --Molly
