Dentistry & You with Dr. David Barsan, show #1
These shows cover many dental topics in detail, many topics you are likely considering.
You'll find information on your options with tooth whitening, crowns, invisalign braces and more.
As an example, you may not have known why people replace mercury amalgam fillings with white enamel.
The seal between the silver filling and the tooth erodes over time, bacteria enters the top of the tooth with decay resulting. This, combined with the fact that a hole is drilled into the tooth for the silver to fit in which weakens the tooth, predisposes teeth to break say on a peppercorn at a restaurant.
The new white enamel fillings actually increase the strength of the tooth, bonding to the tooth itself.
Of course, they also look better.
We have no comment on claims that mercury amalgam fillings are dangerous to your health, we've seen articles proposing both sides of that argument.
