Dental disease will strike at every single human being to some extent within their lives. Bacterial diseases that devastate the teeth, jawbone and gums are ones known as dental caries, or tooth decay, and periodontal disease, gingivitis, or gum disease, and periodontitis, or pyonrhea.

Just like the average person, babies should be given good dental health care both at home and professionally. Giving care early would help you make sure your child’s first teeth would grow the right way. Since primary teeth make the way for permanent teeth to grow, this is important. Empty spaces created by primary teeth that fall too early could be taken by other teeth, and this would cause new teeth to grow out crookedly.

In 1973 the Skylab space travels began marking the start of manned space flights into earth orbit and during this time the astronauts relied on different modern dental equipment as they proceeded with their journey. There was a need for a dental component to be incorporated into the in flight medical support system or IMSS of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA especially during the Skylab flights and so their military dentists developed the necessary component. The dental equipment on board the three Skylab flights managed to assist the three man crews who were sent into space for periods lasting from 28 to 56 days at a time.

Braces may have a dull reputation, but orthodontic patients have the option of adding character and color to those metal mouths. There are many different choices that range from bright colors that would be nice for a celebration to softer pastels that you could coordinate with your dress. The colorful elastic ties are the devices that bind the wires to the brackets on braces.

Given high rates of dental decay and gum disease over few years that have passed, a significant number of people that have become either partially or completely without teeth have become evident. These would depend on oral prosthetic devices for both form and function. These prostheses would often make patients uncomfortable as they are often ill fitting so indeed, these will not offer the patients a great natural teeth substitute. Now crippled dentally, these poor patient will go from one dentist to another trying to find an answer for their plight.
