How can I tell if I have gum disease?

January 25, 2013 by AllSmiles

How can I tell if I have gum disease? My gums are bleeding. Thanks. Thomas

Thomas – The best way to tell if you have gum disease is to see your dentist. Your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to make the determination.

Symptoms of gum disease

  • Gums that bleed when you floss or brush your teeth
  • Inflamed or sore gums
  • Gums that are receding, or pulling away from the teeth
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Pus between the teeth and gums
  • Loose teeth
  • A change in your bite—the way your teeth fit together
  • An increase in the space between your teeth
  • A partial denture that no longer fits correctly

Inadequate brushing and flossing your teeth, genetics, certain illnesses, and certain medications can make you more susceptible to gum disease. Regular brushing and flossing, as well as regular exams by your dentist and dental cleanings can help prevent gum disease.

If you think you have gum disease, make an appointment with your dentist. Early detection makes it easier to control the gum disease and save your teeth. Teeth that are lost due to gum disease can be replaced with a dental bridge or dental implants.

Quality porcelain veneers that don’t fall off

January 15, 2013 by AllSmiles

We receive many inquiries to our website from people who are not our patients, but whose porcelain veneers fall off—some whose veneers keep falling off, even though they have been re-bonded.

Porcelain veneers should last 15 to 20 years or longer, depending on how well you take care of them. But the duration of the veneers also depends on how well they are bonded to your teeth and how well they are cared for during dental cleanings.

An experienced cosmetic dentist like Dr. Duane Delaune will ensure that your porcelain veneers are properly bonded so they remain secured to your natural teeth, and properly cared for during dental cleanings so they maintain their beautiful glaze and shine. He was voted a Top Dentist by New Orleans magazine. If your porcelain veneer has somehow been damaged, Dr. Delaune will give you an honest assessment as to whether it can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced. But he won’t pressure you to have any treatment.

If you don’t have porcelain veneers yet, but are interested in getting them, learn from the experience of others. Quality, natural-looking porcelain veneers come from an artistic, skilled cosmetic dentist. Don’t shop around for cheap or inexpensive veneers. You may regret that decision. The bargain price may mean a sacrifice in the quality of the veneers, or improper bonding.

Dr. Delaune offers a complimentary consultation if you’re interested in getting porcelain new veneers.
