It has been determined that the toughest part of the body is actually the enamel in teeth. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be proactive in protecting the health of your teeth. For example, you may be able to, at least in part, ward of the decay of teeth by eating cheeses like aged cheddar, muenster, and gouda. But what if home care of your teeth isn’t enough and you still end up suffering from missing or chipped teeth?
In those cases, you will likely want to find a cosmetic dentist who can administer the appropriate cosmetic dental surgery to solve the problem. If you are missing all of your teeth, this may likely involve getting all on four dental implants. This procedure, which consists of titanium roots in the gums, fitted with abutments that hold the porcelain crowns, is positive for patients an overwhelming 98% of the time, according to scientific sources.
But that isn’t the only condition that may require cosmetic dental work. Actually, if a patient has “bad breath,” also known as halitosis, 85% of the time it is because of a related dental issue.
All this said, not everyone feels comfortable going to dental implant specialists or other cosmetic dentists, mainly because they have what is known as odontophobia, a fear that is detailed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Those patients would do well to find a cosmetic dentist in whom they can fully trust.
