Apicectomy

An apicectomy is the removal of the tip of the root of the tooth, known as the apex. This minor surgical operation is performed if infection or cysts continue to be a problem after root canal treatment or if your dentist is unable to seal the root tip with a normal root filling.

Patient glasses

Good afternoon how are you? Is so hot in England. I do not need a sauna. I think for tomorrow I will bring my creams to improve my skin condition. By the way how do I look with the patient glasses? I like them.

Periapical X-rays

Periapical X-rays show the whole tooth — from the crown, to beyond the root where the tooth attaches into the jaw. Each periapical X-ray shows all teeth in one portion of either the upper or lower jaw. Hope this info helps.

Tooth enamel

Is very hot, just remember tooth enamel is the first line of defense against cavities, and helps protect teeth from sugar and acid attacks. If tooth enamel is damaged by chewing ice, it can leave a tooth more vulnerable to acid attacks and tooth decay.

Red meat

While red meat alone is not enough to protect your teeth, it can contribute to a healthy smile. According to research conducted by the University of Michigan and Newcastle University, red meat contains an amino acid called arginine. Arginine helps the mouth break down bacterial biofilm, which can lead to dental plaque.

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, yet chewing ice can still damage it. Tooth enamel is the first line of defense against cavities, and helps protect teeth from sugar and acid attacks. If tooth enamel is damaged by chewing ice, it can leave a tooth more vulnerable to acid attacks and tooth decay.

Champagne’s sugar content

Champagne’s sugar content (while better than sweet white wines) combined with carbonation can cause gum disease in addition to tooth enamel erosion over time so please play attention to this advice.
