Hello, few days ago I started a teeth whitening treatment. As a result of watching my teeth more often to see the changes, note that what we once thought it was a simple flaw in one of my teeth is really a crack. With a small white light bulb note that the other front teeth and canines also have that kind of cracks.
These cracks are not visible to the naked eye, only the first tooth is detected. I had to use a spotlight shining from the side to notice the problem. When I pass my fingernail through the fissures do not feel as if they get stuck in the crack, but feel like the first tooth is detected.
Feel no pain, but if I have a little more sensitivity in the tooth with more cracks. I have some sensitivity in all teeth.
Trying to think of a reason, I remembered that many times I chewed food
and hard with those teeth pills instead of using the molars (no excuse, I know)
Tomorrow I’m going to the dentist, but I would like to know what you think here, if no solution to this.
Thanks for your time.

Toothbrushes are the best allies to fight plaque, which our teeth are exposed.

A toothbrush has a certain time of life and use. Before dentists recommend changing every three months, due to the amount of bacteria that accumulate in the bristles and the handle of the object.

Soft bristle brushes and rounded tips, are typically shorter than those of strong bristles. The first help you if you are hypersensitive to the enciíllas and you can make a massage.

Remember that although the sensitivity brought under control, you should see your dentist to identify and timely settlement of the cause of your problem.

Apply a good technique and know how to use the toothbrush we facilitate the process of hygiene of the teeth and ensure the cleanliness of all parts.

If you use a good brush in good condition and wash your mouth with each meal, you will enjoy perfect teeth and a healthy smile.

Dental caries is a common problem, but this early phase of tooth decay can be prevented easily if you brush your teeth every day and really clean with dental floss.

And that’s not all. Certain factors increase your risk of tooth decay. The removal of plaque by brushing and flossing is indeed the most important risk factors, but do not forget the following factors:

* Certain foods and beverages. Foods that stick to your teeth, increase susceptibility to dental caries the most likely. All sugary and starchy foods cooked most promote the formation of plaque, including milk, honey, raisins, hard candy, dry cereals and bread.
* Frequent snacks. Some diets recommend more meals per day to lose weight or maintain weight loss. However, remember that with frequent snacks regardless of the nature of the food, the acid in the food more time to attack your teeth. Here’s another tip: The brush your teeth after eating is not only removes plaque, it can also help you to stick to your diet, because your mouth feels cleaner, and therefore you probably do not eat so quickly want.
* Mineral water instead of tap water. Some people are concerned about the quality of their local tap water worries. The public tap water contains fluoride, however, which promotes oral health through the protection of enamel from plaque formation. Check the content of your mineral water – some bottled waters contain additional fluoride. And if you have children, ask your dentist about the right amount of fluoride, they should take in order to control plaque formation and to promote oral health.
* Receding gums. If your gums back, can form plaque in the vicinity of the tooth roots, which did not protect the tooth enamel and are therefore nonbelligerent.

Born in 1989 in Spain the formula Vital Dent and contextually, it is outlining a new concept of dental care, close to the patient and meets the expectations of a changing society. A revolution in health, until then regarded as expensive and exclusive, which has set itself the ambitious goal of making the visit to the dentist a positive experience and to make dental care accessible to all: these aspects are represented and still represent the engine of growth and evolution of the company, making it a landmark in the European market for dental specialist. Vital Dent has developed over time and established his own personality, to become the leading shows in Spain, where sull’operatività today has over 400 centers, which are added another 30 facilities in neighboring Portugal. The success in the Iberian Peninsula has been the impetus for the development of model Vital Dent in Italy, where this is actually the end of 2007 with an ambitious expansion project: to achieve the goal of 100 clinics in operation by 2010.

If your dentist tells you that you have a hole in a tooth, do not you come around a filling to protect the tooth from further decay.

A hole in the tooth may get worse in the untreated state only, and caries can eventually lead to bone loss. Fortunately, the action is a result of dental fillings progress almost painless. If the dentist recommends a filling, there is therefore no reason to avoid them.

If you are to have a tooth filling, the dentist will first talk with you about the type of material to be used. There is now much more choice when filling material than before, and your choice may depend on a combination of optics, cost and functional reasons.
Some possibilities for filling materials are for example:

* Gold. Gold fillings are robust and do not corrode. They hold up to 15 years. Many people like the look of gold fillings. However, you can be more expensive than other fillings.
* Amalgam. Silver-colored amalgam fillings are a mixture of metals including silver, copper, tin and mercury. You are resilient, durable and inexpensive, and also the most researched dental filling material. Many people may not, however, their gray color.
* Composite. Composite fillings are made of tooth-colored mixtures of glass and resin fillings made of plastic, the color of your teeth can be adjusted. However, they are not as durable as metal and must be replaced more frequently in some circumstances.
* Ceramics. Ceramic restorations are often made of porcelain and are popular with people who want to have natural looking teeth. They are durable, but may have an abrasive effect when they come to the natural teeth. Your dentist must ensure that your bite properly and the ceramic crown is smooth, so your teeth do not suffer wear and tear.
* Glass-ionomer cement. These glass panels and acrylic bind chemically to the hard tooth and slowly bring to the currently vacant fluorine. They are suitable only for low loads and are normally used in front teeth or roots. They are used frequently in children than short-term solution for milk teeth.

When it is time to fill your hole in the tooth, the dentist will first numb the relevant local area. If you are afraid or nervous, you ask your dentist about ways of dealing with your concerns and your peace of mind.

Once the area is numb around the hole, your dentist with a special drill, an air abrasion device or even a laser from the infected tooth decay drill bit further. The end result is the same – to remove the infected tissue dental caries. The instrument used depends in part on the location of the hole and how large it is. Air-abrasion (sand blasting) is a relatively new method in dentistry, where a handset is used to spray a tiny stream of aluminum oxide particles on the body to remove the tooth. The particles hit the tooth and grinding without heat or vibration from the desired amount of tooth tissue. Most patients find the procedure as essentially painless. However, if you have a very deep hole, or it is in a difficult spot between the teeth, your dentist will probably use a dental drill.

Once the decay has been removed from infested materials, your dentist will clean the hole of the remains and sets the filling. If there is a deep hole, your dentist may bring only a lining material into the hole before filling it in order to protect the nerve.

If the filling is in place, the dentist cleans and polishes them. It may be that your lips and your gums are numb for several hours. Chew be careful, and avoid chewing on the side with the filling. During the first few weeks after a dental filling, a certain sensitivity of the tooth is normal. You should also Irritating substances such as very hot or cold foods to avoid. If you have a few weeks still sensitive teeth, you should contact your dentist. And if you feel pain when biting into the tooth, you should see your dentist as soon as possible. It may be that the filling needs to be corrected.

Do not worry if you’re in teeth adjacent to the treated tooth pain or feel a certain sensitivity. This “pain is transmitted” by the fact that nerves send in the filled tooth pain signals to other teeth. This is normal and should disappear within a week or two.

Look after your teeth thoroughly after you get a filling. Keep a regular oral care routine with twice daily brushing (preferably with a fluoride toothpaste) and flossing daily one. And be sure to attend regular check-ups with your dentist. You may not notice when your filling will start to wear out, but your dentist would do this and also to locate during a check-up other vulnerabilities. If your filling falls out or breaks, you should see your dentist immediately so they can be repaired or replaced.
