With the advent of modern dentistry, a lot of possibilities have opened up in the areas of tooth modification. Long term alterations like braces were already a part of dentistry in the past but now there are also quick solutions to small changes in appearance, position, etc. The primary aim of these solutions is to make your teeth look more appealing while taking care not to damage them in anyway. The practice that concerns mainly these dental procedures is called Cosmetic Dentistry.The name "cosmetic" is given to it because it focuses on the appearance of your teeth. It includes procedures such as teeth whitening, polishing, reshaping, etc. Although the American Dental Association (ADA) does not recognize it as a specific kind of practice, highly qualified dentists do it as part of their normal practice. The ADA does not recognize it because it does not have a medicinal role to play and for no other reason.Cosmetic dentistry has become an important part of many people's lives whereby they have been able to replace or repair their damaged teeth through it.

Dental Emergencies Requiring Immediate TreatmentSee a dentist if you have a dental injury.Swelling in the mouth or having a tooth knocked out of the socket are two serious dental emergencies that require prompt dental attention.Oral swelling is almost always caused by an infection of a tooth or the gums. Swelling that is caused by a tooth is the result of a deep cavity or trauma that causes bacteria to infect the tiny nerves and blood vessels within the tooth. Untreated, the infection spreads, killing the tissues within the tooth and forming pus, the product of a tooth abscess. The abscess looks for a way to spread, but because the tooth is hard and confining, it moves into the surrounding jawbone, and then to the cheek and near the gums. Untreated, the swelling can spread to the throat and become fatal if it prevents our ability to breathe.Swelling caused by an infected tooth will be treated with either root canal therapy, where the infected nerves and blood supply are removed from the tooth, or by a tooth extraction. In most cases, it is preferable to save the tooth with root canal therapy. If the swelling is hard, the dentist may make a small incision to drain the infection....more
