Keeping your teeth young

As we get older suddenly we realised many things we didn't appreciate about being young - being fit, having smooth skin and having all your own teeth. As our loose teeth (and bridges) struggle to deal with chewier food we start eating bland mush and, there is no easy way to say this, OLD PEOPLE FOOD. I'm determined not to let that happen to me and I'm doing everything I can to keep my own teeth as long as possible, and when that's not possible to get the best possible teeth replacement. If you are like me and want to keep on eating whatever you want, I think you'll like my site. It's all about dental health and teeth replacement & maintenance.

  • The End of the Road: When It's Time to Have Your Dental Filling Replaced

    24 February 2022

    Although a dental filling should permanently stop a cavity dead in its tracks, the filling itself isn't a permanent solution. When you have a cavity filled, you're unlikely to wonder what happens next, because any flaws in the filling won't develop for many years—if not a decade or more. A filling may completely detach from the tooth, but in many cases, the filling won't abruptly fail one day. The signs of a filling coming to the end of its useful life are usually more subtle.
