Dentists- Choosing the best dentist depends on a number of factors ...

Dental Pain Control
There is nothing worse than to experience dental pain. But finding a solution is dependant on identifying the factors that cause the pain.
It is important to bear in mind the age, whether pregnant, or a nursing mother along with other possible dental conditions. Also allergies, such as asthma, have to be considered.
In the vast majority of cases, dental pain can be controlled in the short term by the use of paracetamol, aspirin & ibuprofen. These can be obtained without the need of a prescription, and are ready available for most shops. Only a small number of dental pain cases require a visit to your general practitioner, or dentist.

Crooked teeth
Crooked teeth are straightened by the use of special devices and techniques [orthodontics]. An orthodontist is a dentist who has been specially trained to use a selection of braces (orthodontic appliances), both fixed and removable, to improve the appearance and health of the teeth and gums.

Ulcers of the Mouth
An ulcer is any breakdown of the lining of the mouth, which includes the cheeks, tongue, gums, lips and roof of the mouth. The raw area of an ulcer is often very sensitive and painful.
Some ulcers appear as single ulcers; some ulcers arrive in groups. Some heal quickly leaving no mark behind, and some heal leaving a scar that may be noticeable for some time. Some ulcers appear and then disappear never to return, others may keep coming back again and again.
A single ulcer, which is not healing and which has been present for more than 10 days should be looked at by your dentist. If there is no good reason for the ulcer not healing, it should be investigated further to exclude a possible cancer. Most ulcers however are not malignant and can be explained after the dentist has asked about different features of the ulcer.
A dentist can look at the ulcers about which there are worries. If the dentist feels it is appropriate, they may refer to a hospital specialist, such as a consultant in Oral Medicine, for further investigation and/or treatment.

Tooth Whitening and Bleaching
Tooth discolouration can be a result of either extrinsic (surface stain) or intrinsic (internal stain) factors. As a general rule our teeth become darker as we become older ? it is part of the normal ageing process. The deciduous or milk teeth have a much whiter appearance than their permanent successors. Many people would prefer their teeth to be whiter and so look at various whitening and bleaching options.

Regular visits to the dentist or hygienist and proper tooth brushing are all an essential part of maintaining good oral hygiene, a healthy mouth and clean teeth.
Bleaching is the use of chemical agents to produce an oxidation of the discolouring molecules within the tooth. It is not a temporary process. A dentist using chemical agents can also remove superficial stains such as tobacco, tea and coffee.

So it pays to take time and effort to care for your teeth. Leave too late and it will be ?too late?!
