Everyone at Lifestyle Dental has been busy working hard and we have all the updates on the team in the recent newsletter which will be dropping through your letter box soon and via email and also will be available online.
Recently also been getting quite a few questions about tooth wear and why are my teeth wearing away so i guess this is a good time to cover this area here as well.
Tooth wear can be due to a number of different reasons although it can be grouped into four areas
1, Tooth wear due to bruxism or grinding this can be due to a habit at night or during the day the exact reason for grinding is not known in most cases although it can be a stress relieving habit. If you think you grind your teeth you may find your muscles are sore or you have a sore jaw in the mornings due to the excessive pressure.
2, Tooth wear due to erosion this can be due to a very acidic diet so if your having alot of food which is acidic in nature then this can cause the teeth to wear down. Some of the main foods which cause this can be fizzy drinks and citric drinks like orange juice. If you think this may be happening then a good idea to look at your diet if you need help with this then we can help you with a diet sheet to record everything
3,Excessive brushing can result in wear of the teeth also there are a few toothpastes which can be abrasive in nature be careful to use only light pressure which brushing
4, Tooth wear can also be to internal acids if you have an eating disorder or if you have gastric reflux then this can result in an acidic environment in your mouth causing tooth wear if you need advice on this then there is a great website for further help seed eating disorders
so there are a few other reasons and also in most people we find that the tooth wear is due to a combination of factors so if your concerned about your teeth wearing away then give us a call on 01772 717316
My sister told me about Lifestyle Dental it was very local and i lked the website www.lifestyledental.co.uk
I have finished my treatment now and everything has been really great I am vry pleased with the end result and wodul be really happy to recommend friends and family to come here
I had looked at having my teeth sorted previously but was told it was not possible. Two years later I decided to look into it again. I found Lifestyle Dental on the internet. When I came the atmosphere was very welcoming and Nadim, the dentist, was very knowledgeable and helpful at the same time, which was very important as I wanted someone who knew what they were doing. The procedure was explained clearly and I was sold in seconds. When I started the treatment at the beginning it was uncomfortable but then after a day I could barely tell it was in place. The only thing that took a while was getting used to speaking.
I am extremely happy with the end result so glad I went for it and it is going to make a huge difference as I can smile with confidence now.
I would definitelyrecommend friends and family here
You may be thining well it takes a few years and would involve metal train track braces on your teeth which dont look very good.
well there are alternatives. well quite a few alternatives lets look at the options
If you have slightly twisted or crooked teeth at the front of your mouth which just ruin your smile and lower your confidence then you could have the Clearstep brace or the Invisalign brace – these are a series of aligners which are clear and invisible (well not noticable) and when you wear each one this exherts a small amount of pressure on to the teeth and this gradually pushes the teeth into position. The degree of crowding or overlapping of your teeth will determine how long the treatment takes but even severe cases can be treated in 2 years or less.
Lifestyle dental is about to turn one on the 4th of September- Yes it has been a year, gone pretty fast during our time the dental practice has grown and over this time we have seen over 500 patients.
1, brush regulary – this seems pretty obvious regular brushing and in correct manner to make sure everything is cleaned efficiently and chances are you will have a great smile
2, diet – a high intake of sugar can ruin teeth very quickly although you would be supprised as to what food contains sugar good to have a diet check with your dentist. There are also other food which can damage teeth to book in and find out if your diet is effecting your teeth then www.lifestyledental.co.uk
