WHAT IS A HEALTHY TOOTH


A healthy tooth is strong and clean with solid bones and solid gums. it is free from cavities and decay.
Tooth decay, caries, pulpitis, periodontal cases etc are the concerns of oral health.
Any person who is devoid of such problems is considered healthy.
Well this is true as far as pure dentistry is concerned but in the case of Cosmetic dentistry it is not so.
Definition of health in cosmetic dentistry does not confine to healthy disease or damage free teeth alone instead it encompasses health and appeal of tooth under one roof. Under this new stream of dentistry the very interpretation of health is different. Because of this a tooh however healthy is problematic if it affects the way you smile.
Under this interpretation
  • gaps between teeth
  • crooked tooth
  • malpositioning of tooth
  • disproportion in terms of size and structure
  • over prominence of certain tooth as seen in canines
are all problems that need handling. The list doesn’t end here as smile displays both tooth and gum ; the gum part should also be appealing.
The appeal of one’s smile diminishes if it’s gummy or even if the gums are swollen or receded.
To overcome these defects cosmetic dentist has many teeth like artificially engineered methods and products.
All these can be done without experiencing much pain.
 
It is this flexibility of this stream that has made it influential in inculcating a new attitude. This sort of attitude in treatment in turn has found its way in normal dental cure. Because of which mere metal crown are replaced by various material selections like full ceramic thus giving protection and appeal.
So, A Healthy tooth is a wealth which can be attained through dentistry, now you can increase the looks of it.
