At Ziving es ortodoncia we are committed to the oral health of people in which dental aesthetics is very important. The mouth is one of our best calling cards and has a great impact on self-esteem. What are the most common problems and how to solve them?
Whiter teeth
If you want to improve the whiteness of your teeth, the first thing you should know is that their natural colour is a yellowish white, not nuclear white. The exact shade varies from person to person depending on the colour of the dentine and the opacity of the enamel. To preserve and improve the natural white of your teeth, we recommend following these tips:
- The first step to restoring whiteness is extreme hygiene. Brushing after every meal and flossing daily prevents plaque build-up and tartar formation. In addition, you can use a toothpaste and rinse specially formulated to whiten teeth.
- Limit consumption of drinks that can stain enamel, such as tea, coffee or wine. Some food colourings can also have the same effect.
- Tobacco is an enemy of oral health, and also of aesthetics. Smoking can change the natural shade of your teeth, so if you do, you have one more reason to quit!
- In addition to taking care of your teeth at home, you can ask your dentist about professional teeth whitening.
A more harmonious smile
Misaligned or crowded teeth are another common aesthetic concern. They can also have health implications, as plaque builds up more easily. Fortunately, orthodontics works very well... and it's not just for kids!
¡Help, my tooth is broken!
In addition to having white and aligned teeth, it is important that all teeth are intact! Some accidents can lead to broken or missing teeth, but there is a solution to these injuries. Broken tooth fragments can be bonded or reconstructed with a filling, while knocked-out teeth can be reimplanted.
In these cases it is very important to act quickly. Pick up the broken tooth or the pulled out fragment, soak it in milk or saline solution and rush to the dentist! The sooner treatment is applied, the better the chances of success.
Ziving will be happy to inform you about the right cosmetic dentistry treatment for you and show off a healthy and beautiful smile!
