In a recent article in the mirror newspaper a report indicates that there are 110 million missing teeth in the UK alone
so what are the options if you have missing teeth
well
1. Implants – this is a titanium post which is inserted into the jaw bone and allowed to integrate with the bone and then a crown can be placed on top the benefit of this type fo treatment for missing teeth is that it does not alter the adjacent teeth in way although it is dependent upon teh amount of bone in the jaw
2, Bridges - a bridge consists of a missing tooth or teeth which is attached to the teeth on either side of the gap. The attachment can be a crown or even a wing on the teeth either side of the gap for more information and video click here
3, Dentures – dentures are made to be inserted where teeth are missing and they are removable and can be anything from 1 tooth to all teeth and can vary in complexity

we recently had treated a few people who were suffering from nack and back problems as well as headaches they had treatment in the form of massages and physio etc although still seemed to get issues. on further assesment this type of pain can sometimes be related to the way your teeth fit together or what is termed the bite or occlusion.
In certain situations if you have had several fillings and dental work done at different times this can make the bite different and if your an individual who is very sensitive to these small changes then this can result in changes in the way the mouth is held and can then result in pain in certain muscles which are overworked.
if you or someone you know is suffering from something like this then please get them to give us a call on 01772 717316 and see if we can help them

Have you ever thought about why foods taste different?
Your tongue and the roof of your mouth are covered with tiny taste buds. when you eat something these taste buds are responsible for converting the chemicals in to a signal to the brain.
There are four different types of taste buds
The salty/sweet taste buds are located near the front of your tongue; the sour taste buds line the sides of your tongue; and the bitter taste buds are found at the very back of your tongue
the taste buds change as you get older so this is why taste develops different as you get older .
many things can effect taste if your having problems with your taste then give us call on 01772 717316 or email on info@lifestyledental.co.uk .
I found out about Lifestyle Dental through the inman aligner website. I decided to come for an initialt free consultation and the practice looked very nice. I was unhappy with my teeth at the front. I wasn’t really aware of what could be done and I didn’t think I could afford it, but I was proved wrong.
I was most impressed by how easy the treatment was and the appointments were quick and I could come at a time when it suited me.
I could take the aligner out which was really good.
I would really recommend others to come to Lifestyle Dental
