Prosthodontics dentist Hampstead 2021? Why do I have to give a medical history when I attend the dentist? The dentist not only needs to check the health of your head and neck and inside of your mouth but is also assessing your overall health. This includes your past and current medical history, any allergies or chronic medical conditions and any medication you might be taking. Letting the dentist know what medication you are on is important as some medications have an effect on the treatment that the dentist prescribes. For example, some medications cause your glands to produce less saliva causing “dry-mouth”. This can increase the risk of decay for some people as the plaque is more likely to dry on the teeth rather than be washed away by saliva. The dentist and hygienist can advise ways to reduce such risks and a full medical history can help them to assist you.

Certain illnesses such as diabetes, liver or kidney problems, nasal or stomach conditions and “dry mouth” (xerostomia) that affects the flow of saliva can be the cause of bad breath. Dental problems account for the majority of breath disorders. These can range from broken, leaking fillings or obvious infections to impacted teeth and calculus buildup that can harbor odor-causing bacteria. Bits of food that get caught between the teeth and on the tongue will rot and cause an unpleasant smell.
With dental veneers, a layer of porcelain is placed over the discoloured surface of your tooth, making it appear much lighter. Your dentist in Hampstead can even paint over the veneer in a dental cement of whichever shade you like, to achieve the perfect look for you. You can also be born with discoloured teeth (congenitally discoloured or malformed teeth) or unsightly banding of the teeth if you had medication or suffered any systemic disease at the time the teeth were developing.
