Cosmetic Dentist, East Grinstead, Amalgam Free Dental Centre

One subject that causes the most controversy in dentistry today is the use of Amalgam (Mercury) Filling materials, although these have been used for many years here in the the UK. There is now a growing concern amongst consumers that the use of dental amalgam can cause problems in the body. Here at My Brilliant Smile Dental Centre we have chosen to become a completely amalgam free practice. We do not have or store any dental amalgam at the centre, we only use tooth coloured composite resin filling materials.

I first became aware of this controversy many years ago after reading some research papers from sweden that were pretty convincing. Since then numerous studies have been undertaken around the world and dental amalgam does now have a question mark around it. This video as far as we have been able to tell is not a spoof video, but a genuine attempt to show some facts.

Without wishing to add to that controversy all i would say is that we have modern tooth coloured resin materials that can be used, without a question mark surrounding them, hence we are a amalgam, mercury free, dental centre.

Advantages of Dental Implants

Advantages of Dental Implants

Dental implants are strong and durable , implants offer a permanent solution to tooth loss. Additionally, implants may be used in conjunction with other restorative procedures for maximum effectiveness. For example, a single implant can serve to support a crown replacing a single missing tooth. Implants can also be used to support a dental bridge for the replacement of multiple missing teeth, and can be used with dentures to increase stability and reduce gum tissue irritation.

Advancements, including the development of narrower “mini” implants, mean that more people than ever before are finding themselves suitable for dental implants. However, your Dentist may determine that you should opt for an alternative restoration.

What is a Dental Implant And How Does It Work?

What is a Dental Implant? My Brilliant Smile Dental Implant Centre
Almost all dental implants in use today are made from titanium or zirconium, materials that have a long history to be well integrated to the jaw bone. The terms 'osseointegrated implants' or 'endosseous implants' are widely used to describe dental implants that can develop and maintain a close union with bone in order to support replacement teeth. Dental Implants are a highly reliable form of treatment. A dental implant is essentially a substitute for a natural root and commonly it is screw or cylinder shaped. Each implant is placed into a socket carefully at the precise location of the intended tooth. An implant has a screw-thread on its outer surface and is screwed into position.  There is an initial stability, which over time is steadily enhanced by further growth of bone (osseointegration). The fixture is the part of the implant that goes into the jaw, you will find some pictures on this site which show that part. Normally the next component the (abutment) is screwed onto the fixture and then a crown, bridge or denture can be fitted over that. Dental Implants are now seen as the treatment of choice for many people. To reserve a free implant consultation please call 01342 325522.

'A Life of Abundance' 'We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world'   Helen Keller "A Window To Your Hearts Health!"       How about this; "Did you know that your next visit to the dentist could prevent a heart attack? "       Medical researchers have known for years now that there's a definite link between gum disease (i.e. gingivitis) and persons' risk for a heart disease Evidence is mounting.       However, that information from a routine dental X- may serve as an accurate early-warning system of risk of dying from heart attack or stroke.       According to researchers, a study of 818 teeth and jaw x-rays of Pima Indians in Arizona found that those who had a build-up of calcified plaque in the carotid arteries were twice as likely to die from heart attack or stroke.      Normally, this type of plaque is present in only about 3 percent of the general population.      An earlier study of 2,700 dental patients showed calcium deposits on each side of the carotid arteries could be spotted in x-rays of the teeth and jawbone.     It makes sense that the dental x-rays would see the carotid artery --which carries blood from the heart to the brain and back.

An individual blood cell takes about 60 seconds to make a complete circuit of the body. By age sixty, most people have lost half of their taste buds. "An Ancient Tool!"       The Chinese were believed to create the first real toothbrush, or a device that was used to clean teeth, but it was much different from the ones that we are used to today.      These first toothbrushes, crafted in the 1400s, did not use nylon for bristles, or plastic for the handles. They were made from bamboo, one of the most common plants from that area.      The bamboo formed the handle for people to hold on to. Attached to this handle was a set of bristles, which were taken from the tough hair of the Siberian wild boar.      The hairs used came from the back of the neck of this animal. This is the toothbrush associated with having been the ancestor of the one that we use today.      However, there is evidence that there was another form of the toothbrush dating up to 3000 years before the birth of Christ. This form of the toothbrush was found within pyramids of the Egyptians.      These toothbrushes were crafted from a stick. Unlike the Chinese version of the toothbrush, the end of the stick was flayed so that the fibers of the wood were more soft.      This stick was then rubbed against the teeth to serve as a form of oral hygiene. This form of the toothbrush did not become as far spread as the Chinese version.      Due to these findings, the toothbrush may be one of the oldest inventions still used by man today, only truly outdated by the wheel.      The Chinese version of the toothbrush spread to Europe, where some people began to use the hairs found on the backs of horses to craft the bristles on their brushes, as this was much easier on their gums and teeth than boars hair.      Despite the added softness of the horse hair bristles, the boar hairs were more commonly used, as horses were too valuable to Europeans during this period of time.      The boar hair toothbrush continued to be used until the early 1900s. Then in 1937, Wallace H. Carothers created nylon in the Du Pont laboratories.    This invention forever changed the future of the toothbrush.
