Childrens Teeth

November 11th, 2009

Children
For years, the American Academy of Pediatrics advised Fontana parents to begin children’s dentist visits
before the third birthday. The AAP now advises Fontana parents to take their toddler to a California dentist
before their first birthday, or about six months after their first tooth appears.

Why? Prevention, prevention, prevention!

Sadly, Fontana dentists find advanced tooth decay in very young children. High-risk children should be
seen as early as possible.

Following are some of the risk factors:
Sleeping with a bottle
Drinking juice continually during the day
Abnormal tooth development
Thumb sucking
Tooth grinding
A mother with significant tooth decay
Other health problems

What are my options when I need dental care?

November 4th, 2009

Both young and old require dental care from time to time. Younger people who have lost teeth to decay or accident and older people who have lost teeth too the same or just the aging process requires restorations to stay healthy. Others are just not happy with their teeth or the aesthetic look they inherited from there ancestors. Whatever the reason there are wonderful choices available today, and priced for just about any budget, while delivering best value and desired results. So, if you need dental assistance to stay healthy or just tired of looking at crooked, unsightly spacing, missing, or chipped teeth, then read on and educate yourself and pick a solution that works for your treatment plan. Dental laboratories like Iverson Dental Laboratories of Riverside, California and Palm Court Dental of Fontana, California are great places to find more information about the following: For those people who desire not to have metal under-structures on their crowns and bridges, the all-ceramic restorations are available and a great choice. These restorations are designed using state-of-art CAD/CAM technology and can be place in the anterior or posterior area of your mouth. All-ceramics will transmit the color of adjacent teeth and tooth structure, blending well, and providing an attractive looking smile. In addition, the all-ceramic product like the IPS e.max and Zirconia boasts a fractural toughness between 360-400 mega pixel strength. Porcelain Fused to Metal, perhaps the most traditional dental option has many benefits; precise fit, reliable strength, biocompatibility with tissue, marginal integrity, natural anatomy, and color, texture, shape and contour.

Many dentists prefer Full-Cast Restorations (gold), and recommend to patients who desire long-term
durability for posterior crowns. You have several choices if you choose this product, white high noble,
noble cast 40%, and yellow high noble 60-77%. These products are biocompatible and adapt to
surrounding tissue. Implants are popular options for people with missing teeth or teeth that need to be removed. Implant technology has come along way in the past few years. Zirconia Crowns attached to implant abutments and Titanium insert resemble existing teeth, thus providing a natural looking tooth while adapting to soft tissue and ensures gingival health and quality bone.
Removable crown & bridge combinations or dentures and partials can be attached to implants, holding them
securely and making it hard to tell the difference from natural teeth and provide overwhelming relief to
those who have struggled with ill fitting dentures.

These are just a few of the choices available to you if you require dental assistance. Dentist like Dr. Neil Vavra, of Fontana, CA can help you choose the products that work best for you. In addition, Palm Court Dental has a great program if you are looking to get whiter teeth.
