It’s almost the end of the year with holiday parties in full swing. While you may be careful about watching what you put in your mouth because of your diet, are you as careful about what those foods can do to your teeth? According to Burlington dentist Dr. Mike Morris, so-called healthy foods may be great for your waistline, but not so good for your teeth. Below is a list of foods that you may want to avoid this holiday season. Starchy Goodies for Teeth Your grandmother’s favorite Christmas cookies are probably just as bad for your waistline as they are for your oral health. Just like bread, chips, crackers and bagels, cookies are full of starch. Starch stays on your teeth and converts to acid and bacteria, which eats away at the enamel on your teeth. Candy Canes and other Hard Candies Your favorite

Cosmetic dentistry is one of the best gifts you can give someone. Best of all, porcelain veneers, invisible braces, cosmetic dental crowns, or dental implants will last much longer than that 75” color TV. In fact, cosmetic dental procedures can last for more than a decade if you practice good oral hygiene. Cosmetic Dentistry for Self-Esteem Everyone in your family could probably benefit from porcelain veneers, clear braces, or cosmetic dental bonding. All great cosmetic dentistry procedures. If your partner is missing teeth, why not gift him or her with dental implants? Just as strong, if not sturdier than your natural teeth, dental implants actually fuse to your jawbone making them a permanent replacement for missing teeth. The Advantages of Cosmetic Dentistry Aesthetics aside, both restorative and cosmetic dentistry make for healthy teeth and gums. Chipped, cracked, and missing teeth cause problems for adjoining

If the thought of permanently removing the enamel on your teeth isn’t very appealing, it’s time to call Dr. Mike Morris from Chittenden Dental. Cosmetic dental bonding is a less invasive procedure and could be the perfect fit if you have teeth that are cracked or chipped. Furthermore, if you have a small space between your teeth talk to your cosmetic dentist in Burlington about bonding. What is Cosmetic Dental Bonding?

Tooth whitening still remains at the top of the list when it comes to popular cosmetic dental procedures, however, as Dr. Mike Morris from Chittenden Dental explains, there is a difference between professional tooth whitening and those over the counter tooth whitening products. Over the Counter Tooth Whitening Although strips, gels, pastes, rinses, and trays are readily available from your local pharmacy, they are not as strong as professional products. Hydrogen peroxide is the main ingredient in both types of whitening, having a higher percentage in professional whitening products. Another thing to consider is safety. Because strips and other over the counter products are not as strong, people have a tendency to overdo it. Doing so could result in chalky or transparent looking teeth. Permanent enamel damage and sensitivity can also occur from too much tooth whitening. Professional Tooth Whitening for the Best Results According

Porcelain veneers are the preferred cosmetic dental procedure when it comes to a beautiful smile. What are Porcelain Veneers? Manufactured from dental grade porcelain and matched to your natural smile, porcelain veneers don’t require as much tooth removal as cosmetic dental crowns, but won’t be as sturdy either. If you are less than kind to your teeth, talk to your Burlington Dentist about cosmetic dental crowns. If your dentist in Burlington believes you are a good fit for veneers, a mold or impression will be made both before and after tooth removal. Because your veneer needs to look natural, Dr. Mike Morris will remove a portion of your enamel for a perfect fit. Unsightly teeth require temporary veneers. During your second appointment Dr. Morris checks your new veneer. This is done for fit and color. Once satisfied with the overall result your veneer or

If you have been considering dental crowns, there are some things you should know. Especially if the dental crown is for cosmetic purposes. Just because your favorite celebrity has confessed to cosmetic dental crowns instead of veneers doesn’t mean you have to. It’s important to remember that dental crowns will come with a price. The Truth About Cosmetic Dental Crowns Firstly, dental crowns require more structural removal of the tooth, secondly they aren’t always necessary if your smile is healthy and just needs a little boost. According to Chittenden Dental, cosmetic dental bonding is an excellent solution and does not require tooth removal. Both porcelain veneers, and dental crowns, require permanent tooth removal for a natural fit. If you have teeth that are stained but cannot be whitened with professional tooth whitening products, or teeth that are slightly chipped or cracked, cosmetic dental bonding

Men and women are different, very different, but did you know that men and women also differ when it comes to teeth and gums? According to Dr. Mike Morris from Chittenden Dental, women experience hormonal changes throughout life that will affect teeth and gums making women's oral health very different to a mans. Puberty and Women's Oral Health When tweens and teenage girls begin puberty, gums will bleed, swell, and get red. In some girls, an overreaction to bacteria and plaque will cause enlarged gums.

Avoiding the dentist at all costs will have far-reaching consequences. Ignoring a painful tooth or swollen gums will eventually lead to more invasive dental procedures such as root scaling and planing and root canal therapy. Thankfully sedation dentistry takes care of all that. Sedation Dentistry Helps Ease Anxiety According to Dr. Mike Morris from Chittenden Dental, sedation dentistry helps patients with dental fear, giving them a reason to smile again. Skipping dental appointments only makes things worse, especially if you are dealing with a toothache or bleeding gums. When you take a pill the day of or the night before your dental appointment, you will arrive relaxed, and ready for your procedure. Just remember that you will need someone to take you to and from your dental appointment in Burlington if you are having sedation dentistry. Laughing gas, or Nitrous Oxide, is a sedation technique
