Nutrition
A healthy body will handle nutrients efficiently. Themechanisms are
complex and intricately interdependent; too little of one vitamin,
mineral or substance may affect the body's need for anothertype and
cause imbalances. thus nutritional supplements must always be given
in biologically compatible forms to be effective. Dietary excesses
or deficiencies of any kind can cause or aggravate diseases. A
healthy diet is essential to good health. As part of our health care
programme, we are happy to discuss and advise on this very important
aspect of dental health care.
Occlusion
Occlusion, or bite, is the way in which teeth fit together; TMJ
Disfunction Syndrome occurs when the teeth do not fit together
properly. The results can be painful - broken teeth, migraine,
headaches, jaw clicking and muscle and facial pain - and it is
estimated that more than 35% of the population suffer symptoms of an
incorrect occlusion. When we eat and swallow our teeth make contact,
but tooth-to-tooth contact can be increased pathologically by
clenching and grinding! These symptoms need corrective action which
can be discussed with your dentist.
Orthodontics
Orthodontics is the science of moving teeth.- It can produce a great
improvement in facial comfort, shape and aesthetics. A person's age
is no restriction to orthodontic treatment.
