Many people are reluctant to smile because they are embarrassed about the appearance of their teeth. Not feeling confident enough to smile affects your entire life. There is a Brooklyn NY Dentist who can make you proud of your smile. Improve the look of your smile and the health of your teeth and gums.

Invisalign is a way to straighten teeth that is undetectable when worn. Far more convenient and comfortable than the old metal braces, the Invisalign tray can be removed when the wearer is ready to eat, and placed back into the mouth by the wearer. The process can take up to thirty weeks, and the tray will be replaced as needed to further straighten the teeth. The end result is as good or better than metal braces.

There are three choices for a decaying tooth. Your dentist can fill the cavity, perform a root canal if appropriate, or the last resort, extract the tooth. If a tooth is beyond repair it should be extracted. Allowing the tooth to remain in the mouth puts other teeth at risk for decay.

In most cases, dental hygiene is all that is needed to maintain the health of your teeth and gums. Flossing twice a day should be a matter of routine. Flossing reaches all the places that a tooth brush misses. Brushing two to three times a day is also needed. Brushing and flossing remove harmful bacteria before there is time for damage to occur.

Everyone should have a thorough cleaning at the dental office at least twice a year. Keeping up with this practice will ensure that any signs of decay will be discovered at the early stages. Regular dental visits also ensure early detection of periodontal disease, which can be a very serious condition.

As people age, the teeth and gums age also. Regular dental care becomes more important with each passing year. Only you can ensure your regular dental care. Flossing, brushing, cleaning and regular dental visits are the preventive measures you need to take to help keep your teeth and your gums healthy for years to come.
