From Home made Lye Soap to Organic and Herbal Teeth Cleaning Products, it seems like so many of us are looking for a little more connection with the good old days, as natural and nature begin to once again take priority over the manmade synthetic, chemical, unnatural world that we have all gotten accustomed to. It was all good fun, and we had to try it, but the truth of the matter is that we as a race have come full circle and now realise that mother earth has everything we need.  Always has done, always will do. It’s time to ditch the throwaway societies and get back in tune with the planet by using organic, herbal, and natural recyclable  ingredients in every aspect of our being.  If we don’t, the future generations will suffer the consequences, and that means our children, our children’s children ad infinitum…

Missing A Tooth?

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

Did you go to the local hockey game last night and get a tooth knocked out in a fight? Maybe you have recently had a tooth pulled and are now discussing options with your dentist as to how to fill in the missing gap. Your dentist may recommend that you have a porcelain bridge placed.

Dr. Sam Muslin who is a Cosmetic Dentist in the Los Angeles area specializes in the extreme skill of replacing missing teeth with implant dentistry and porcelain bridges.

A porcelain bridge is an artificial tooth that is placed in the mouth, generally between two anchor crowns on either side of the missing tooth gap. When two crowns are used on either side of a tooth gap for a bridge, it is called a fixed bridge. Fixed porcelain bridges are a permanent fixture in your mouth and can be used in the case of one or more missing teeth.

Cantilever porcelain bridges on the other hand are used when there is only one side of the missing tooth gap to anchor too and when there is not a lot of biting stress in the area. Porcelain bridges are a great solution for missing teeth in that they look just like natural teeth because of the porcelain, they can reduce the risk of teeth moving around and they can correct bite issues where teeth have become misaligned.
