hEALThY hAbIT ‘‘Go to the dentist once every six months!’’ - we hear from the early childhood, but in the hectic everyday routine we often forget to plan a visit to the doctor. We know that to ix a small caries is much easier than to later deal with a completely damaged tooth, but we do not always realize that a regular profes- sional hygiene is a great help in preserving healthy teeth. This simple procedure is performed in several stages: ultrasonic cleaning, polishing, brushing with special luoride paste for enamel protection. RESTORATION AS AN ART Sometimes, it happens that seemingly ideal smile spoils a small, but such an annoying imperfection - a gap between teeth. It is possible to solve this problem with only one visit to the dentist. Aes- thetic restoration allows to «increase» the volume of neighboring teeth so that the gap closes naturally. A dentist layers illing material of different shades, translucency and density, which allows to achieve an absolute similarity to the natural «living» tooth and erase transition between the real tooth and ill- ing. Aesthetic restoration is also used in caries treat- ment. bETTER ThAN ThE PREvIOUS TEETh As a result of illness or an inattentive attitude to health - it is less likely to be able to restore a dam- aged tooth. In this case, the dentist may decide to utilize prosthetics. This can be a crown or veneers. They both cope well with the problems that arise during life, when the teeth are ground down, there are sometimes ugly cracks on the enamel. They can also correct misshapen teeth and make them dazzling and white. Before placing the veneers, it is possible to try them and adjust the shape. CAREFUL ON ROAD TURNS One unfortunate bicycle turn or pirouette on a slip- pery loor and the front tooth can be knocked out or broken. The situation is unpleasant, but reparable. In such cases, a doctor removes the injured tooth and places the implant with a crown, or if only a part of the tooth is missing he will rebuild it so the person does not walk a single day without a tooth.
