According to a British Science and Health research study, People having gum disease have double chance to get Pancreatic Cancer. Best advice is to have your gums and periodontal health checked and if need be treated, for your overall systemic health and the foundation of your teeth,bone, and keeping your smile. Dentistry or Cosmetic Dentistry must start with checking the foundation of your teeth, which is your gums and the bone underneath your gums.In my opinion, cosmetic dentistry can not be started before checking for gums disease !
Ask your cosmetic dentist, How are my gums doing ?

I usually get questions like…how much does it cost to get a veneer? Or how much does it cost to do a smile makeover, or full mouth reconstruction? Although I want to answer them honestly, in my opinion it is impossible to quote the price before the cosmetic dentist have done his complete evaluation.

What is a complete evaluation in my office?

It consists of 5 specific tools I need to give you a proper consultation , regarding your health and cosmetic needs.

1.   I need to do comprehensive exam, meaning I record each tooth in your mouth , and the existing restorations, taking measurements of the teeth and the surrounding gums. Making note of the color of your teeth.

2.   I need complete intra oral radiographs (xrays),  taken in my office with my trained assistants , as I am very particular about the angle and accuracy.

3.   I need upper and lower impressions of your teeth, so my laboratory can fabricate the cast study models , which is an exact replica of your existing teeth for my evaluation of your bite.

4. I need to take your teeth photos and your smile photos in different angles to evaluate and study your smile.

5.   I need to do a bite analysis to determine what kind of restoration best fits your needs. I will be taking intricate measurements of teeth, and smile line.

With all the above,  I study your mouth and come up with “Ideal” Treatment Plan, plus different options that might be available to you,  including all the  PRICES and COST involved to achieve your ” Perfect Smile“.  You will also be informed the pros and cons, the risks and benefits of each procedure, and the time involved to complete the procedure.

So now after the complete evaluation you have met the Doctor , you know all about your teeth and gums , you know the solutions and the cost involved.

I believe this gives you a better clarity and perspective rather than the office just quoting you a price , when the doctor does not know anything about your bite, the color of your existing teeth and the health of teeth involved!!

How much does the complete evaluation and consultation cost? usually between $750 to $1000.

I just answered that question in whanda, thought it might help others,

The question was:

WHY DO I HAVE TEETH SENSITIVITY AFTER TEETH WHITENING?

WHY DIDN’T  MY TEETH WHITENING LAST?

In my opinion, do not use over the counter whitening products , having said that you need to see a cosmetic dentist, to check if you do have any micro fractures, or micro cracks,? is there any recessions of gums or gingivae? if so you need to be tested re sensitivity!! or evaluate if you need dental bondings on the root area PRIOR to start your teeth  whitening!! is there any abfractions ?
also if there is internal or genetic discoloration ? if so whitening would not help much.
are your gum pockets in good shape? Is there any inflammation of gums, or gum disease prior to teeth whitening procedure?

and is there any leaking fillings in your mouth!
sometimes teeth whitening can cause more damage unfortunately , depending on the concentration of the bleach product.,, and does not help your wants at all !! also depending on your eating and drinking coffee , tea, red wine , etc …. ,you might be defeating the purpose of receiving your white smile.
First thing make an appouintment with a Cosmetic dentisit for a complete evaluation.

Did you know Smile Lift is even available ?

With age our teeth wear down and the bones in our jaws recede, making the distance between your chin and nose smaller.This in turn causes the fundamental structure of the face appear collapsed. I recommend consulting cosmetic dentist first,and see if you need to get your teeth done? before rushing to botox , restylane,….. or other injectables.

A Non Surgical Smile Lift or Face Rejuvenation in the field of cosmetic dentistry can be accomplished by full mouth reconstruction of your teeth,or by applying porcelain veneers (ultra thin piece of  porcelain ), to help restore facial volume, boost the cheeks, or plump your lips.

The overall outcome? A face that’s more filled out, and you suddenly look and feel younger, but people do not know why? Of course the cosmetic dentist’s vision and dexterity to create such masterpiece is of vital importance.

In summary I highly advise you to have a full cosmetic dentistry consultation with an EXPERT COSMETIC DENTIST, before you do any kind of face beautification or any “smile makeover lift” surgical or non surgical.

Lets face it, accidents can happen, and especially when it comes to our teeth, SMILE and mouths, they can be pretty frightening. Being careful is good a prevention, but being prepared makes you confident about and possible oral health emergency. Its important to know when home care will suffice and when a trip to the dentist is necessary. If you are ever in the situation that makes you feel like you need to speak with your dentist, call the office, your dentist should provide a day to night time number. If you call during non-business hours, voicemail will give instructions about how to reach the on-call dentist. With that in mind, here are some guidlines to help you through common situations:

Toothache/Sore Gums: Rinse with warm water to remove any food or debris; if you notice anything lodged between teeth, floss to remove it. Take an over the counter pain medication (but never apply the medication directly to teeth or gum), see the dentist if the pain persists.

Chipped or Broken Tooth: Save the pieces, if you can, rinse them thoroughly. Apply an ice pack or cold compress to the swollen lip or gum tissue near the chipped tooth to prevent swelling. If the area is bleeding, apply gauze for ten minutes, or until the bleeding has stopped. Call your cosmetic dentist immediately.You can possibly have a dental bonding , porcelain inlay or porcelain onlay treatment done to salvage your tooth.

With recent advancements in full mouth dentistry and cosmetic dentistry, you might not lose your tooth. If there’s enough remaining healthy tooth structure, there are several treatment options that may eliminate the need for root removal. While the success of these procedures depends on the severity of the break, it’s worth asking about options other than complete removal. I highly recommend you contact your cosmetic dentist.

Knocked Out Tooth: Depending on the situation, find the tooth, make sure not to hold it by the root, and rinse it briefly with warm water. If possible, gently reinsert the tooth into the socket and bite down on gauze or cloth to keep it in place. If you cannot reinsert it, place it in a container of milk or mild salt water solution. Call your cosmetic dentist as soon as possible-if treated within 2 hours, the tooth may be salvaged.

Soft Tissue Injuries: Soft tissues such as gums, cheek, lips, and the tongue tend to bleed heavily, only because the tissue contains a great deal of blood flow. To control the bleeding, first rinse with warm, mild salt water solution. Apply pressure with gauze or a moistened towel for 15 to 20 minutes. Afterwards, to reduce swelling and help stop residual bleeding, apply a cold compress to the outside of your mouth. In the event of a serious soft tissue injury, in which the bleeding is profuse or the damage is visibly traumatic, its best to stay calm, keep applying pressure, and go to the emergency room.

Tooth whitening products  are  available for home use to remove external stains by abrasion or by bleaching teeth. Their safety and effectiveness vary according to the type used.

Kits that contain abrasive agents can give you a white celebrity smile initially by removing surface stains, but they can be harmful over the long run because they accelerate the natural aging process, in which the enamel of teeth is slowly worn away to reveal the yellow dentin behind it, or can cause recessions on gums (meaning the roots will be exposed) and consequently cause TOOTH ABFRACTION on the roots of teeth concurrent with sensitivity to cold and air.

It is of utmost importance to have the abfraction checked by the COSMETIC DENTIST ,so the sensitivity be stopped. there is various treatment that can help further breakdown and abfraction of the roots, including but not limited to, DENTAL BONDING, or possibly DENTAL VENEERS or LUMINEERS.

iF YOU DO HAVE ANY EXISTING SENSIVITY ,I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT TO DO ANY TEETH WHITENING OR BLEACHING OF TEETH ,till all the  necessary treatment for the sensitivity is rendered.

Teeth bleaching or TOOTH WHITENING PRODUCTS,are usually carbomide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide derivitives, and of course with different concentration. In my opinion you should be screened for your gums, root sensitivity, any micro cracks, microleakage possibly from your fillings , or abfractions by a dentist before you put whitening and bleaching products in your mouth.

In summary I highly advise you to have a full check up and consultation with an EXPERT COSMETIC DENTIST, before you do any kind of teeth whitening, to avoid further damage to your precious teeth and smile.

Studies show that two out of every five adults take some type of medication that could have dental related side effects. Depending on your age, this chance can be doubled.
In addition to prescribed and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements can also cause oral health issues .The side effects can range from dry mouth (causing cavities or tooth decay ) to inflamed gum (gingivitis ) to taste altercations and possibly bone loss (periodontal disease).

Some of the most common side effects from medications that affect oral health include:

.Dry Mouth , in which can lead to bad breath , or HALITOSIS

.Abnormal Bleeding

.Altered Taste

.Inflammation, Mouth Sores, or Discoloration of the soft tissues in your mouth

.Enlarged Gums

.Cavities

.Teeth and Gum color changes (stains),

Some drugs can cause intrinsic stains of teeth,meaning ,teeth whitening products can not alter the color any more,and you might need dental veneers or porcelain veneers to mask the discoloration.

It is best to have the COSMETIC DENTIST , or DENTIST ,to be in communication with your physician and you ,in order to provide optimal health care. It is of utmost importance that you do fill the health questionaire properly,and know your medication and dosages.

“Periodontitis or gum disease are caused when bacteria from plaque deposits on the teeth and bleeding gums invade tissue and penetrate beneath the gum-line….. the damaged tissue may become a gateway to the bloodstream, and eventually, the heart and other Systemic Organs.

Patient’s motivation to floss should be greater then ever!

A second study showed that tooth decay increased the risk for heart disease by one and a half. Further research shows that people who are diabetic are at a greater risk for developing heart disease if they too have periodontal disease. Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums in which can lead to periodontal disease.

Also remember that bleeding gums or gum infection can be treated with various surgical or non surgical therapy options, and controlled with regular cleaning dental appointments and a proper home care routine of brushing and flossing.

please have your gums checked before commencing any cosmetic dental treatment,including but not limited to dental veneers, full mouth reconstruction, dental implants, or smile make over.

You deserve the best!!!
