Las Vegas Orthodontist Answers How You Can Avoid Sensitive Teeth (Part I)
Las Vegas Orthodontist Answers How You Can Avoid Sensitive Teeth (Part I)
You've probably met someone who simply cannot understand why they suffer from sensitive teeth. How can they avoid this problem? To answer this question, we need to look at what causes it. If you suffer from sensitive teeth, you may experience unbearable pain when exposed to heat or cold, such as when drinking hot coffee or eating ice cream. You may also feel pain when brushing your teeth. Sometimes, bleeding can occur, as well. This usually happens to people with cavities or damaged teeth. Most of the time, it is because the enamel protecting the teeth has been worn down. When this happens, the dentin (sensitive part of the tooth) is exposed and left vulnerable to all kinds of painful experiences.
The cemetum under the gums is a protective substance that covers the tooth root. When the dentin loses the protection of the enamel, the nerves under the tooth are stimulated, triggering pain whenever it is hit with a hot or cold temperature. So, how do you fix this problem? When even brushing causes intense pain and even damage to sensitive teeth, how are you supposed to keep protected against sensitivity?
I have compiled a few tips to help answer this question, which will come in Part II of this post.

Las Vegas Orthodontist Answers Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get special designer braces?
Most orthodontists offer a variety of styles for braces. These work the same as standard braces, yet they are designed to be more attractive in appearance. There are several brands of these designer braces available and they come in a large variety. They may take only slightly longer than normal for your orthodontist to place them.
Can I kiss while wearing braces?
Today, yes. In the past, braces were large and clunky and occasionally made it uncomfortable to kiss while wearing them. These days, manufacturers can make braces smaller and less noticeable when kissing.

Las Vegas Orthodontist answers question about Childrens Orthodontics
When should I start thinking about orthodontic treatments/exams for my child?
In the age range of 6 to 12 – when the child’s adult teeth begin to arise and malocclusions begin to appear. According to the ADA, the ages of 8 to 14 is when orthodontic treatment should begin and can have the biggest impact on the children’s dental health. We recommend for your child orthodontic treatment to begin at the age of 7. At this age we suggest pediatric orthodontics – because they have a combination of their permanent teeth and baby teeth so we can contain problems with teeth and jaw growth that could be harmful to your child’s dental health. Regular dentistry and orthodontics examinations are very important for the child’s health.
