Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings, which are applied to the chewing surface of the back teeth to prevent decay. Children between the ages of five and fourteen benefit most from sealants. Adults that are cavity prone may also benefit from sealants. After an examination by your dentist it can be determined which teeth can be sealed. Click here to read more.

Crowns are restorations that cover a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size. It can strengthen or improve the appearance of a tooth. Crowns may be fabricated from different materials depending on the location, color or shade and function of the tooth. A bridge is a restoration, which closes spaces where one or more teeth have been lost.  There are two types of bridges--fixed and removable. Fixed bridges are bonded into place and can only be removed by a dentist.  The patient can remove a removable bridge. Removable bridges, also known as partial dentures, are not as desirable as fixed bridges due to a decrease in stability. Click here to read more.

The interesting thing about bad breath, besides the fact that it is a $1 billion business in the US and Canada, is that half the population has it. Most of the remedies last only 10 minutes and are costly. To get rid of it, you have to understand exactly what bad breath is and what causes it. The source of bad breath is volatile sulfur compounds (vsc's), which are from bacteria of decaying proteins. These proteins come from food and cells that naturally occur in the mouth. The bacteria that produce vsc's are anaerobic. Unlike aerobic bacteria these anaerobic bacteria like to thrive where there is no air. This would be in crevices, cracks under the gums and in "hiding places". Click here to read more.
