Fluoride is an important component for strengthening the enamel of your teeth. The enamel is the outermost surface of your teeth which prevents tooth decay. Most toothpaste brands contain fluoride, but it is good to double-check its presence when changing brands. Another popular kind of toothpaste trending in the market is teeth whitening toothpaste. Before picking any one of them, we recommend you should discuss it with your dental care professional.
Some vital factors can determine your eligibility for a dental implant. Such as gum disease, lack of bone density and other lifestyle and function concerns. If you suffer from gum disease, firstly it has to be treated if treatable, especially before initiating a dental implant treatment. Also, to give you a quick heads up, treating gum disease could vary from person to person. And may not prevent you from getting implants.
If your gums are tender or bleed when you brush your teeth, it may be gum disease known as gingivitis or it could be more advanced condition known as periodontitis. But guess what? If you improve your oral hygiene in an earlier stage, there are chances of healing the gums or reducing the severity of gum disease.
