It's time to smile

Invisalign treatment is one of the most popular and revolutionary dental procedures to emerge in oral hygiene over the past few years. After receiving FDA approval several years ago, these near-invisible aligners have replaced metal braces as the favoured method for straightening crooked teeth, and involve frequent trips to the orthodontist for a fresh alignment every couple of weeks. Despite its popularity among dental patients, invisalign treatment won't do all the work for you.

It's easy for parents to think that because their child's baby teeth are going to eventually fall out that they don't need to see a dentist until after this happens. They may also assume that a child's new teeth are so healthy that they aren't likely to need dental work until they get much older. In truth, it's good to take your child to a dentist regularly once their teeth start to come in, and then especially right after they get their adult teeth.

Are you experiencing some discomfort with your teeth, and would like to receive root canal treatment, but are not sure if it's the right one for the pain you are suffering? By understanding the symptoms of your pain, you can get a good idea if you will need root canal treatment before even visiting a dentist. Here are some common signs that you could be in need of root canal treatment, and what you can do to reduce the chances of needing it in the future.

It's a joyous moment when your little one gets her first tooth. However, the process is not smooth for babies. By the time their first tooth pops up, babies have to endure pain, swollen and inflamed gums. The gum micosa is very sensitive and this is why babies get fussy and cranky when a tooth is pushing through. When the baby is irritable, it takes a toll on the parents. The good thing is that there are several safe remedies you can give the baby to make the teething process more bearable.

For most adults, opting for braces to fix crooked teeth and restore their smile is out of the question. This is largely due to body image. No one wants a mouth full of metal while navigating their busy careers. However, this does not mean you are out of options when it comes to teeth straightening. The popularity of invisalign has grown significantly due to the inconspicuousness that it offers adults. In addition, this treatment option tends to be both comfortable as well as convenient as it does not require much maintenance.
