April’s Fool Friday – 1 April 2016

When no one has the time or mood to play board games with Cass, she will bug her grandma 😀

Thankfully grandma is ever so sporting and willing to entertain this Energizer bunny. Grandma would do anything to stop this little girl from getting hooked on electrical gadgets. I have the same sentiments too but I do not have the time. My time for Cass at home is spent drilling her on her BM these days.  She has 2 more weeks before her exam and her BM is still not up to par. Gawd, I am really worried for her. How can she even pass when her BM grammar is so weak? And she is in the top class. I shudder to think of her position in all the exams this year. I think I am going to speak in BM with her at home!

Here’s Cass playing a game of Blokus with grandma…

Happy weekend world!  We’re off to Ipoh for Cheng Meng tomorrow 🙂

Good Oral Health Is Closely Related to Overall Good Health

In order for a person to enjoy overall good health, they cannot underestimate the importance of having good oral health. It is essential for any person who wants to enjoy good health to stick to an oral healthcare routine that includes regularly brushing, flossing, and taking care of their teeth. Part of their dental routine involves visiting a dentist at least twice a year. When a person experiences a dental problem, they should visit a dentist right away. Not only is this going to help them maintain a beautiful smile, but it is going to help them have good overall health, sleep better, and have more self-confidence.

More and more individuals are seeing the benefits that come from dental implants when they need a tooth replaced. However, lots of people still have questions about dental implants. They realize that a dental implant involves placing a screw in the bones of the face. A dental implant is then connected to the screw. This leaves people wondering if the procedure is painful. You will be relieved to know that the process is not painful. Your dentist will use a local anesthesia while doing the procedure. After the anesthesia takes effect, you will not feel anything. When it wears off, you may experience some mild discomfort, but you will be given pain relief medications to help control the pain.

Something else you may be wondering about is how long the process will take. Depending on your personal circumstances and needs, the entire process can take anywhere from 2 to 9 months. During the first phase, the implants will need to heal by fusing to the bone. Then the tooth replacement restoration will have to be created and then attached. Throughout this time, it is recommended that you maintain an implant dentistry journal in order to chart your progress.

Once the dental implants have been placed, they can last for 30 or 40 years. As long as you maintain a good oral healthcare routine and care properly for your new implants, they will serve you well for many years into the future.

It is important for parents to take good care of their child’s teeth in order to help them avoid cavities, tartar buildup, gum disease, and other problems that can lead drastic steps needing to be taken in order to maintain good oral health. Even though dental implants and other options are available, it’s best if parents can help their children keep their natural teeth.

Dental Implant Process

If you don’t have the desirable smile that you want, then consider dental implants Jacksonville dentists can place in the mouth. They are similar to your natural teeth, and you can get one or several so that you have the smile that you desire. They are strong enough so that you can eat almost anything that you desire, but you need to take care of the implants as you would you natural teeth, which includes brushing and flossing.

The first thing that the dentist will do is prepare the gum to receive the implant. This is done by cutting the gum open to reveal the bone. If the bone is too soft or there’s not enough bone to hold the implant, then a graft might be needed. This is when the dentist will remove a piece of bone from another area of the body, placing it in the jaw so that there is enough support.

A hole is drilled in the bone, and the dentist will place a metal post. This looks like a small screw with an area on the top that will hold the new tooth. The post will act as the new root for the tooth. The jaw and gums will need to heal before the crown is placed. This process can take as long as six months. Once the jaw is healed, the dentist will place an abutment. This is what will hold the crown. After about a week, a mold of the mouth is taken so that each crown will be the right size and shape.

When the crown is ready, it is placed over the abutment. Some crowns are made so that they can be removed, but in the case of most implants, they are permanent. You can usually eat whatever you want and treat them like normal teeth, but you will need to care for them like normal teeth, which involves brushing and flossing. There could be swelling of the face and jaws during the healing process. You should consume soft foods for about a week after the crowns are put in place.
