dental fluorosis? What can make the spots less noticable?

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

13 year old has dental fluorosis. It is mainly the first two top front teeth that have them the worst. Their is a brown stain on the bottom of the front teeth. The rest are only a little bit noticable. What can make it less noticable?
Bonding the teeth? or is she too young?
bleaching?
what else?
Will the spots get worse as the years increase?
What should she not eat or drink?

It wont increase. This damage was done as the teeth were forming. If not too severe, it is purerly cosmetic.

What i would be more concerned about is the damage that flouride has done that you cant see. Her entire skeletal system also looks like this. Many people dont realise this. Flouride is a poison.

The damage that dental fluorosis causes to the internal matrix of the teeth is permanent. There is no way to reverse this damage.

However, there are ways to ‘hide the damage’ — to treat the surface of the teeth so as to hide the discoloration.

Treatment options for fluorosis vary and will depend in part on the severity of the fluorosis and what you can afford (some of the treatments are very expensive). Some of the more common treatments include:

- Abrasion: Abrasion involves finely sanding off the outer layer of the enamel. It is a common approach when the fluorosis is mild. However, if the fluorosis is of a more advanced severity, abrasion is probably not a good idea as it can bring to the surface of the teeth a highly-porous enamel that will be prone to attrition.

- Composite bonding: Composite bonding first involves lightly roughening the area of the damaged enamel. After etching the enamel, a composite resin (with a color matching your teeth) is "glued" on to the exterior of the tooth.

- Porcelain veneers/laminates: Made out of porcelain, veneers form a ceramic shell over the surface of the tooth. Veneers may need to be replaced after several years, however, which can become quite expensive.

Fluoride is a powerful poison – more acutely poisonous than lead. This explains why fluoride is the active ingredient in many pesticides and rodenticides. It also explains why accidental over-ingestion of fluoride can cause serious toxic symptoms.

As documented in the Journal of Dental Research (Whitford 1987, 1990), there is enough fluoride in a tube of children’s fluoride toothpaste to kill an average-weighing child under the age of 9.

Each year there are thousands of reports to Poison Control centers in the United States related to excessive ingestion of fluoride products (toothpaste, mouthrinses, and supplements).

Malfunctioning water-fluoridation equipment, leading to excess levels of fluoride in water, has been another periodic source of acute fluoride poisoning.

When should I get my teeth bleached if I am getting a dental implant?

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

I am a former smoker and a current coffee drinker, so my teeth are a bit stained. I recently cracked a tooth (#5, behind the eye tooth) badly enough that it had to be extracted, and I’m still healing from the extraction.

Before the crack, I’d been planning to do in-office whitening (like Zoom).

When should I do it? If I wait until after I get the implant, will the implant bleach to match my teeth? Or should I do it now, and have them match the implant to the bleached teeth?

Just remember as soon as your natural teeth start to discolour, it is going to make your implant tooth very noticable, so probably not a good idea to go with a really white implant-unless your happy to keep a strict teeth whitening schedule…..

Best Tooth Whitening Products

Friday, March 5th, 2010

http://www.bestteethwhitening.biz/ – There are a lot of options out there when it comes to teeth whitening. This video covers some of the best tooth whitening products out there.

There is no doubt about it teeth whitening is very important nowadays, for the reason that a stunning mouth full of pearly whites does amazement for one’s looks. But, are all those whitening strips, toothpastes, and dental treatments effective?

Before we proceed on some tips to whitening teeth, let me just say that some stains are not external, because some stains begin from the inside the tooth itself and are related to medications like tetracycline, genetics, and other underlying diseases. In these cases, your dentist will suggest other things you can do to improve the way your teeth look.

Over years tooth whitening has become big business and dentists are definitely not the only ones cashing in. There are many types of over-the-counter products available to help whiten your smile.

The primary categories for tooth whitening products include: Whitening Toothpastes, Mouthwash, Whitening Strips and Gums. These are home options that you can do to make your teeth whiter but some people would opt to go to the dental offices to whiten their teeth.

The in-office teeth lightening procedure works very well. This is the fastest, but most expensive whitening option. Whitening treatments generally improve your teeth’s appearance, but an amazing smile can be accomplished through a much more likely method. While it is well known that everyday flossing, brushing and general teeth maintenance can help keep your teeth and mouth in a healthy state, we can at times forget the significance of what we drink and eat.

The worst enemies that are known to stain our teeth include coffee, red wine, tea, and even in these times, tobacco. In the present day it is easier to get tooth whitening products and bleaching solutions. Experienced dentists are everywhere. In office bleaching may take more than a few minutes and more than a one sitting, but the work is carried out by your dentist.

But if you are the do it yourself type, some of the best teeth whitening products can be bought from any drugstore. Some reported side effect include gum irritation and burns. If you have highly sensitive teeth or have undergone a dental operation recently you should consult your doctor before deciding to get your teeth whiten. Your dentist will then determine what kind of tooth whitener is appropriate for you.

If you feel that the irritation is caused by an allergic reaction to the chemicals, discontinue using the product and confer with a specialist. Whether your favored technique for teeth whitening is in office bleaching or at home whitening, the truth is that there is no longer any reason to put up with stained teeth. With the collection of tooth whiteners in the market, there is every reason in the world to smile.

Does dental bleach expire?

Friday, March 5th, 2010

I have had a tube of bleach for my teeth for over a year. It is used to put in dental trays to bleach teeth overnight. There is nothing on the tube that mentions an expiration. Does anyone know?

I had a tube in my fridge that I’d forgotten about and I asked my dentist about it. She says that they’re usually good for a year and keeping it in the fridge extends that for about 4 months. Beyond that, it’s not toxic or anything, but tgenerally are less effective (if effective at all).

Going to the dentist…Crest whitening strips? 8 day Dental Trays or the full blown Bleaching…?

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Please Help me choose!

Crest strips – $36+
Dentist Take home gel trays (8) $150
Full on zappage $400+

I personally didnt go to the dentist to get my teeth whitened. I purchased Aquafrsh White Trays. I say a result in 3 days!!!!!! There little trays that have gel in them. Very inexpensive. I believe they were 30$. You put one tray in the top and one in the bottom and let it sit for 1 hour. Take the out, brush your teeth. Then do the same the next day.

****DONT DO BLEACHING. RUINS THE TEETH ENAMEL!!!****
