Charcoal has been a very popular trend this past year? But why? Is it because it seems like such an unlikely thing to use on your teeth or even skin? Whatever the reason is for its popularity, letâs take a look at the pros and cons for using it as toothpaste. PROS While it isnât proven to actually whiten teeth, there are some possible benefits to using it: * it may help bad breath * it can possibly protect against staining of teeth if used occasionally after a professional cleaning CONS * most brands of charcoal toothpaste donât contain fluoride (a chemical that helps prevent tooth decay and cavities * it may wear down tooth enamel and might make your teeth look yellow * if used everyday, it can cause tooth sensitivity * since itâs popularity has not been long-term, itâs effects and safety over time are not well known, so it can be risky to use too often.

All About Night Guards Jun 15 2014
Night guards are designed to protect teeth from damage during the night. That sounds pretty self-explanatory, right? If your dentist recommended a night guard for you or you would like to try a night guard to see the results you may have some more questions about what it actually does, what theyâre made out of, and why they work. Hereâs a quick list of everything you need to know about night guards: 1. Most night guards are made out of a thermoplastic material that you can use to mold and fit in your mouth. Thermoplastic means that the material softens in water and then hardens again so when you bite into the soft material and then remove it the guard will keep the shape of your mouth. You can purchase generic ones, not made by dentists, but they tend to be harder to breathe or talk in. 2. If you need a mouth guard you probably have what dentists call bruxism. Bruxism is the medical term for teeth grinding. 3. Night guards not only add a barrier of protection between your teeth to prevent damage and erosion from forced contact, but it also works because the act of wearing the device makes patients more aware of the grinding motion, even during sleep. 4. The fit of your night guard does matter because a securely fitting guard will be less likely to fall out in the night or be taken out during sleep. If it is uncomfortable many patients will take out the device during sleep and continue to grind or clench their teeth until morning. 5. If you donât wear night guards there may be serious consequences. Not only can it be annoying for your partner but it also can lead to serious dental problems. Cracked teeth, abrasions, jaw pains, headaches, and extended wear on the tops of your teeth can ensue.

Third World Dentistry Apr 29 2014
According to the International Dental Journal, in underdeveloped countries about 75% to 80% of the population live in rural areas where no dental care is offered. These terrible conditions pose serious threats to the dental health of generations of families as no immediate care is offered and no corrective work can be done. One of the largest problems that has yet to be addressed in the third world is the question of short term fixes versus long term solutions. There are an increasing number of outreach programs that send volunteering dentists into the third world countries to perform operations and treat the local residents but there are far fewer organizations who teach dentistry to promising candidates in these areas. When the visiting practitioners leave the community they are once again living without proper dental care and no better in the long run than they were before.
