CRAVEN, 'Review columnist and Have you heard all the hoopla about bonding? Do you know what it is? I really believe you should! It can save you dollars and time in your dental needs. Simply put, bonding is cosmetically resurfacing teeth. An analogy might be compared to painting fingernails. We can treat a tooth with some mild chemicals which let us glue layer upon layer of white tooth structure, until we have the proper shape and color. We can change the alignment, the color or the shape of individual teeth and all of this without a shot in most cases. Another good thing about bonding is if you dont like it, you can have it sanded away and have your teeth the way they were. to maximum smoothness. These bonding proceedings are an alternative to crowns or caps d for about the cost and as I mentioned, in most cases, they are reversible. If you are not happy with your smile, it can be changed and this might be the way for you. It has become very popular to close spaces between teeth, to cover stains, to change the shape and to artificially straighten teeth without the timely and costly orthodontics. Bonding is perhaps the most popular development on the dental scene in a few years and Im sure your dentist would be happy to discuss how it might be beneficial to you and your smile. - ; polished one-thir- Dental Health- Bonding is just light cured veneers comprised of ultrafme resin particles that mechanically lock into the tiny pores all teeth have. The material is placed in a liquid mass with a brush until the exact contour is achieved. Then a high intensity light is shined on the material and it hardens in about 30 seconds. After the additions are done, they can be If a tooth is chipped, save the chip and get to a dentist. If a tooth is knocked completely out, what should you do? Find the tooth, pick it up by the crown, not the root, cleanse it if possible, without rubbing the root and keep it moist. Store it in your mouth between your cheek and gums, store it in milk or wrap in a moist cloth and seek out a dentist immediately. If you can have the tooth replanted in the mouth (by yourself or a dentist) within about thirty minutes or one hour, there is about a 90 percent chance that the tooth will stay put for years. It will probably have to have a root canal, but it will be functional. Dont wait until a tooth hurts to seek help.

We must find the things that each of us can do to increase the worlds happiness: and to find those things we must begin on the inside. Christmas reminds us that we have spiritual resources, that we need not d live only on lifes surface.
