Don’t Bother Keeping Your Wisdom Teeth

Image
Wisdom teeth are a set of molars that typically appear in your jaw when you’re between the age of 17 and 21 years old. Long, long ago, when human beings ate a lot of raw meat, roots, and vegetables, they would require a third set of molars in early adulthood. As human beings have evolved, though, the need for this third set of molars has disappeared. The change in our diets and the elimination of some of our historical hunting habits has made wisdom teeth unnecessary. Our diets and hunting habits aren’t the only things that have changed over millennia. So too has the size of our jawbones. Today, our jawbones are smaller than they were in human beings millennia ago. That gradual shrinking of our jawbones has one serious consequence. Not only do we not need wisdom teeth anymore, there just isn’t usually enough room in our jaws for them anyway. That lack of extra space in your jaw means that wisdom teeth often come in crooked or twist and shift teeth already present in the jaw. In some ca...

Using a Mouthguard for Your Grinding Teeth Problem

Image
Have you heard of the term bruxism? It is the constant clenching of teeth, and if you suffer from it or know someone who does, you may know the ugly consequences that it has. Among them, you may find that you wake up with intense headaches, toothache, or jaw pain. It may also lead to your partner’s lack of sleep since they may hear the grinding and remain awake. If you feel related to what you are reading, you may visit our dentist in Kendall for a solution because there are options for you! Types of Bruxism There are two types.

Can You Really Undergo a Root Canal And Get A Crown in the Same Day?

Image
History tells us that the very first root canal procedures were performed in around 1838. The technology and techniques involved in root canals continued — thankfully — to develop in the decades after 1838. By 1961, what is now referred to as the “standardized technique” was developed.  Root canal therapy in South Miami has continued to develop since the 1960s, though, and is now a painless technique for eliminating the pain and other serious consequences of infection inside teeth while eliminating the need for preventable tooth extractions.  Here’s an introduction to what is not the usual method of undergoing root canal therapy in Kendall, a process that takes at least two appointments with a dentist near you. After that introduction to the most typical process, we’ll introduce a wrinkle — one-day root canals! Dentists understand that scheduling, arranging, preparing for and recovering from multiple appointments can be difficult and stressful. Today, the right patient treate...

All About Spa Dentistry

Image
In case you didn’t know, the irrational fear of the dentist does exist. Although you probably did know about it, many people suffer from it.  It might be because many decades ago, dentistry was not conservative at all. If you had tooth decay, the option was extracting the tooth. Can you imagine?  So years passed, and people started to see the dentist as a scary figure; when, in fact, it is the professional that keeps your teeth healthy and extends their life. Dental Anxiety The extreme fear to a dental professional, a dental office, or anything related to dental treatment is called dental anxiety. Individuals who suffer from it don’t know what to expect from a dental procedure, and if they have to imagine, they will imagine the worst. So, what to do when patients don’t want anything to do with a dental office? Let us introduce you to our dental spa in South Miami. And yes, you read correctly. It is a dental spa in Kendall with many amenities to make your dental experienc...

Busting Some Myths About Botox

Image
What, you didn’t know that you could get Botox from a dentist in South Miami? You thought that Botox was the exclusive domain of plastic surgeons dermatologists? That’s not the only myth about Botox floating around out there. Getting Botox from your dentist makes more sense than you might realize at first. After all, the dentist near you is an expert in the structures and muscles of your face, not just your jaw. Beyond that, your dentist has always been committed to helping you achieve your cosmetic goals. Botox treatment is just one more way that they can help.  Just what is Botox?  Botox is a neurotoxic protein. It is based on a toxin produced by a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. When strategically placed, botulinum toxin interferes with the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from nerve endings where nerves meet muscles. Essentially, botulinum toxin temporarily paralyzes the muscle by preventing it from being triggered by the nerve. By preventing the muscl...
