At what age do people have wisdom teeth?
When you get to be about 17 or 18 years old, you notice that your teeth seem to be more sensitive than they have in the past. You might have some pain while chewing or you might notice some swelling around your jaw. You wonder what is going on.
Surprise! Your teeth were not finished growing in. Your third set of molars is pushing its way into the back of your mouth. But why in the heck does anyone need three sets of molars? That is a very good question!

Your mouth seemed pretty full with 28 teeth, didn’t it? Simply put, there is usually not enough room for another four teeth in your mouth. If your wisdom teeth are growing in sideways, they are also pushing at the other teeth in front of them and you will most likely require wisdom teeth removal.
This crowding can not only cause your teeth to shift (there goes all of the orthodontic work you had done), but wisdom teeth can also rub up against the root of the molars next to them, which could cause other problems.
Partially erupted teeth serve as a trap for food. Trapped food is a breeding ground for bacteria—and bacteria leads to infection. There is every chance that your impacted wisdom teeth have become infected and that is when you need to contact your dentist.

Once your wisdom teeth start to emerge, your dentist or oral surgeon will be able to take X-rays via dental x-ray machine to determine if they are impacted or not. Even if they are growing in straight, most dentists will recommend having the wisdom teeth removed to alleviate crowding and lower the risk of infection.
Choosing to undergo the procedure between the ages of 17–25 will produce the best results and will certainly alleviate further complications down the road, such as periodontal disease (gum disease) and bad breath, impacted teeth, pain and swelling and, and ultimately teeth removed. You will be able to get along just fine with your 28 teeth.

What causes cavities? And how to prevent cavities ?

What causes cavities? Dental cavities, or caries, are tiny holes in the hard surface of the teeth. They are caused by bacteria on the surface of teeth creating acid out of sugar. The most common culprit is a bacterium known as Streptococcus mutans. The bacteria form a sticky film known as plaque. The acids in plaque remove minerals from (demineralize) your enamel — a coating of the teeth made mostly of calcium and phosphate. This erosion causes tiny holes in the enamel. Once the acid damage spreads into the dentin layer underneath the enamel, a cavity forms. How to prevent cavities? 1. Sugar-free gum Sugar-free gum containing a compound called casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) has been shown to reduce S. mutans even more than xylitol-containing chewing gum. You can find this type of gum in stores. 2. Vitamin D Vitamin D is important to help absorb calcium and phosphate from the food you eat. Studies show an inverse relationship between eating f...

How Long Will Dental Implants Last?

Dental implants are one of the biggest innovations in modern dentistry. They are true prosthetic replacement teeth and consist of artificial titanium roots with a porcelain crown. More than 3 million Americans have dental implants with dental implant machine , an increase of 500,000 people a year. As dental implants become an increasingly popular alternative to missing teeth, we will ask: How long does the dental implant last? The short answer is that dental implants can last a lifetime. And here is a long answer. Anyone who has to replace a crown or bridge or reinstall a denture knows that not all dental restorations will last forever. All three types of restorations may fail for their own reasons. In the case of crowns and bridges, if the original tooth structures to which they are attached are damaged by decay, they may fail. When bone loss causes the jaw to change shape, most dentures eventually need to be reinstalled or replaced. It is lucky for you to get dent...

Mexico City. A few days ago, our Smile Builders Mexican dentist Ricardo Guevara met with Mexican Tourism Director Miguel Torruco Marques to discuss the importance of dental tourism in Mexico and how Smile Builders can help patients from all over the world with their oral health.
