Dr. Amir Kamburov advises to his viewers and readers about health of teeth he always makes smile on his patient's face.

1. Let Your String Sing!
What’s the first thing you search for when you get a piece of spinach caught in your teeth? Dental floss –
naturally! It may surprise you to learn that food removal isn’t the only reason you need to floss. It’s to remove
the bacterial plaque that builds up on your teeth. Even if you were fasting, you’d still need to brush and floss!
In fact, if you’re not flossing, you’re missing about 35% of tooth surfaces that brushing alone can’t reach. And if
you have a dental restoration like a crown and bridge, flossing will let you pay special attention to the gumline.
There are many flossing products designed for individual needs and preferences.

The Secret? Strength!
A crown restoration or cap can do wonders for your smile! The benefits of this natural-looking and durable
restoration are evident even for inconspicuous zones like your side or back teeth! A single crown or a crown and
bridge will eliminate gaps, drifting, crooked teeth or a malocclusion (bad bite). The secret is in its strength.
A crown is used for protection and support when a tooth is weakened by a break, a fracture, or a very large
filling. For one or more missing teeth, a bridge (one or more replacement teeth) can be anchored by one or more
crowns.
Crowns and bridges restore tooth function and appearance. Beautiful materials that reflect light like natural
enamel ensure the completely confident and natural-looking smile that everyone notices!
You've Lost A Tooth
Your teeth work together as a team. Each tooth helps its neighbors do the chewing work so that none has to
carry the full load. When a tooth is removed, it’s like a team losing a star player; the whole team suffers and
some members have to do more work.
Although the removal of a tooth can be a lot simpler than procedures such as root canal, in the long run it’s
better to treat than to pull. Root canal therapy can eliminate the infection and save the tooth.
But if you do lose a tooth to disease or accident, it’s important to replace it with an artificial one to prevent other
teeth from getting stressed out and drifting out of line, which would wreak havoc on your smile. The whole team
will thank you!
Maryland Bridge
Just as bridges span rivers and lakes, a dental bridge can close up the gap left by one or more missing teeth. The
bridge helps restore the normal function and proper position of your bite. If the surrounding teeth are in good
shape, we may recommend a type of bridge called the Maryland Bridge. It's made of a porcelain replacement
tooth bonded to the back of the teeth on either side of the gap with sturdy metal wings. Installing a bridge can be
more effective and less complex than some of the alternatives. The Maryland bridge also requires much less
preparation filing and grinding work on neighboring natural teeth than other bridge options. If you want to know
more about the Maryland bridge, we'd be happy to discuss it during your next visit
