This article reviews the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of OSA and its related health risks. It also discusses the proposed associations between OSA and diabetes and insulin resistance.

Gum disease (periodontal disease)often progresses slowly, without pain, over a long period of time. This is one reason why it is common among older adults. The longer the disease goes undetected and uncontrolled, the more damage it causes to gums and other supporting tissues. Although periodontal disease is caused by plaque, other factors can increase the risk or severity of the condition. These include food left between the teeth, smoking, smokeless (spit) tobacco use, badly aligned teeth, ill-fitting bridges or partial dentures, poor diets and systemic diseases such as anemia.

First, surgery is performed to place the anchor. Surgery can take up to several hours, and up to six months may be required for the bone to grow around the anchor and firmly hold it in place. Some implants require a second surgery in which a post is attached to connect the anchor to the replacement teeth. With other implants, the anchor and post are already attached and are placed at the same time.
After the gums have had several weeks to heal, the next step is begun. The artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor. Because several fittings may be required, this step can take one to two months to complete.

Teeth whitening, also known as teeth bleaching, has become extremely popular over the last several years. Its a great way to improve your appearance, its reasonably priced, non-surgical and non-invasive.
As with everything else, teeth whitening isn't perfect and it isn't for everyone. Before you decide to have your teeth whitened, you should talk with your dentist. Your dentist can determine if you are a good candidate for teeth whitening. Knowing the facts can help you with your decision also:
| Teeth Whitening Fact #1 |
Teeth whitening procedures are not covered by most dental insurance plans. |
| Teeth Whitening Fact #2 |
Tooth colored fillings, crowns, bridges and veneers will not lighten when your teeth are bleached. |
| Teeth Whitening Fact #3 |
Teeth whitening toothpastes can make your teeth appear a little lighter by removing stains, but they do not actually bleach your teeth. |
| Teeth Whitening Fact #4 |
Teeth whitening does not produce the same results on all types of teeth discoloration. Someone with yellow tinted teeth would probably have great results with bleaching, while someone with gray tinted teeth might be disappointed because gray tinted teeth don't bleach as well. |
| Teeth Whitening Fact #5 |
Tooth sensitivity and gum irritation are common side effects of teeth whitening treatments. |
| Teeth Whitening Fact #6 |
If you have any cavities, they should be filled before you have your teeth whitened. |
| Teeth Whitening Fact #7 |
Teeth whitening kits from the dentist produce faster results because they contain a stronger peroxide bleaching agent than whitening kits purchased over the counter. |
| Teeth Whitening Fact #8 |
Touch ups are usually needed to maintain your desired shade, depending upon habits such as smoking, drinking coffee and tea and eating certain foods which will stain your teeth. |
| Teeth Whitening Fact #9 |
People with gum disease shouldn't get their teeth whitened. |
| Teeth Whitening Fact #10 |
It's a good idea to have a dental cleaning prior to having your teeth whitened to remove surface stains. |
Call your dentist promptly if you develop any of the following sign and symptoms that may suggest oral health problems :
There are two parts to a dental implant which simulate the strong holding ability of the tooth root. The main part of the dental implant is embedded in the jawbone for an effect that is vastly stronger than dentures are capable of. The second part of the dental implant is a post that protrudes above the jawbone and gumline, to provide a fixed point to attach the tooth restoration that will simulate the crown.
To replace one tooth, a single post is all that is required. For the replacement of multiple teeth, it might be necessary to place several dental implant posts.
Your implant dentist will discuss your treatment needs during your initial consultation.
