If your smile has been giving you headaches, literally, it could have something to do with your teeth and gums. According to your Burlington dentist, headaches and backaches could be a sign of tooth decay or gum disease. Cracked teeth are hard to detect with the naked eye, and if they happen to be in a tooth that is already filled, even harder to find. If you follow the Chittenden Dental Blog, you will remember that tooth decay is often discovered under old fillings. Silver amalgam fillings are notorious for hiding dental caries. However, it isn’t just old fillings that you should be concerned with. Chipped and Cracked Teeth Only Get Worse Dr. Mike Morris, whether it’s from a cold beverage or sucking in air, should check out tooth sensitivity.

It’s a new decade and that means it’s time to take control of your oral health. If the last ten years have been less than kind to your teeth and gums, cosmetic dentistry may be the answer. Best of all, cosmetic dentistry is much more affordable than it used to be. Most people are good candidates for cosmetic dentistry. However, before anything can take place you will need to schedule a thorough dental examination with Chittenden Dental in Burlington.

This makes it easy for bacteria and acid to eat away at the enamel on your teeth. If you aren’t able to floss properly, you are also opening yourself up to gum disease, which is the leading

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.

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.

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
