Best Ways To Protect Your Teeth

 

Cavities are little holes in the teeth that can lead to major complications. They occur when tooth-eroding acid affects the protective outer layer of a tooth (enamel). 

This acid is mostly derived from two sources: your diet and specific oral bacteria that thrive in the absence of proper dental hygiene.

If cavities are not treated promptly, decay-causing bacteria can penetrate deeper into the tooth, eventually leading to root-canal issues and possibly tooth loss. The good news is that cavities can be avoided, which means you can maintain all of your natural teeth for life! Here are our top tips for teeth protection:

• Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride-containing toothpaste after each meal and especially before going to bed to avoid tooth decay.

• Use dental floss or interdental cleaners to clean your teeth on a daily basis.

• To help kill bacteria that produce plaque, rinse your mouth daily with fluoride-containing mouthwash or antiseptic chemicals.

• Limit snacks and eat well-balanced meals. Brush your teeth immediately after eating sticky or sweet foods.

• In order to preserve your rear teeth (molars) against decay, consult your dentist about dental sealants (a plastic protective coating).

• Visit your dentist on a regular basis for professional cleanings and oral exams.

• Dentists may sometimes advise getting a dental cap to protect teeth with caries. The blog discusses the best crowns for front teeth and various types of tooth caps in the following section.

Zirconia crown

A zirconia / ceramic crown will not help your natural tooth grow back to health, but it will prevent additional decay and improve the appearance of the damaged tooth. This crown is more suitable for front teeth as it naturally matches the color of natural teeth and provides numerous other benefits. 

A dental crown may be used by your dentist to treat a variety of oral issues. Preventing fractures on a weak tooth is the most usual along with the decayed tooth. A metal cap for teeth may also be suggested if the patient has budget issues.

During the process of protecting the tooth from further damage, a dentist may sometimes put a temporary crown before fixing a permanent one. A temporary tooth cap is generally not kept for a longer time and soon it is replaced. 

The average tooth crown cost in India is between 2500 and 15000 INR depending upon the location and the type or material of the crown that needs to be fixed. The front tooth crown cost also starts from INR 2500.

We would give a specific mention that if you choose to get a ceramic/ Zirconia crown then you must choose the best. DentalDirekt zirconia crowns are the best in the market available at affordable prices offering the best ever quality.
