If your one of these people in Bootle that has been guilty of neglecting your teeth, (and you know who you are), it’s highly likely that you have subjected your teeth to some form of tooth decay. This sets-in, once bacteria has been left to enjoy itself in the mouth. Firstly plaque and tartar will form, leading to gum disease. Acids will erode the enamel in the teeth and cavities will develop in the teeth. If this is caught early on, you may be lucky enough to get away with a filling. But any more, and you may require root canal to clear away the damage, and then a crown. Depending on which tooth or teeth have been affected governs the type of crown you will require. If the decay has attacked the back teeth, where there are a lot of chewing and biting pressures absorbed, a gold crown is favored. If however, decay has set-in towards the front of the mouth, you may be able to have a porcelain or resin crown fitted- these look more natural. If this all sounds drastic, then you should have looked after your teeth in the first place if you suffer from tooth decay, but crowns are also used to repair teeth that have been damaged through injury. Dental techniques have come a long way over the decades and having a crown fitted is an easy procedure to have, once you have been measured up by your dentist and you have made a decision on the crown you would like. And they are reasonably priced- porcelain-over-metal crowns usually being the more expensive.
