Periodontal Disease - silent and deadly

Accidental tooth loss
If the tooth is loose even extremely so, leave it in the place. If it is out of its socket completely but still in the mouth, it is best to attempt re-implantation If it is out of the mouth, do not let it dry out. Rinse it off in milk or lukewarm water .Preserve it in milk. Call dental office. Time out of the socket is critical in the long -term success of re-implantation. After 30 minutes, the success potential begins to decline.
Tooth whitening
Tooth bleaching involves the placement of the bleaching solution on the teeth to eliminate stains and discoloration. Sensitive teeth, or those that are chipped, eroded or weakened by cavities, should be repaired or protected before they are bleached. Bleaching is safe and effective .The American Dental Association's seal of approval has been given to wide range of tooth whitening products.
Why have dental crowns?
