Hey, my name is Shelly Katalgo. My love for sedation dentistry started in high school. My best friend had a severe fear of going to the dentist and I wanted to help her feel better about it. Although I always enjoyed my dental visits, I felt bad that she struggled so much with going to hers. My parents taught me about sedation dentistry and I instantly dreamed of becoming a dental professional. I wanted to help kids like my friend stay fear free throughout their appointments by using gentle techniques and professional medications. Although I opted to follow a different career path, my passion for dentistry remained throughout the years. I will update my site with developments in this industry as soon as they are reported. I will also discuss the benefits of sedation dentistry in detail. Thanks for visiting. I hope you come back soon.

Understanding The Importance of Sedation Dentistry
Learn More About Your Teeth
Franklin Steward
Learning more about your dental care needs doesn't have to be a chore. In fact, learning about the history of dental care and better educating yourself on some interesting and lesser-known facts can help you gain more respect for the care of your own teeth. The information here will give you interesting facts on the history of dental care, as well as some fun facts that can also give you more insight into the importance of paying your mouth the amount of attention it deserves and needs.
Your teeth affect your smiling and your mood
The average person smiles anywhere from 20 to 50 times a day, and the average child smiles 400 times a day. Smiling is important to your overall well-being because it causes a decrease in the stress-induced hormones that lead to negative physical and emotional health. Also, there is a good feeling that comes from being able to smile a wide smile when photos are being taken instead of hiding in the next room until you know the camera has been put away.
When you don't feel good about the condition your teeth are in, you may get in the habit of not smiling because you are too self-conscious. This can cause you to not be as happy and emotionally stable. This is one reason why you want to keep your teeth in good shape through daily care, regular exams and cleanings, and prompt treatment for problems.
Your enamel plays a very special role
While you may just consider enamel as just one part of your teeth, the enamel is actually an impressive material. Enamel is technically stronger than your bones, but you should still consider it fragile due to its thinness. It can be damaged and destroyed by things like excessive force, excessive wear, neglect, and cavities.
Your teeth are shaped the way they are for a reason
Your teeth have specific shapes that help you to eat the types of foods humans were intended to eat. You have front incisor teeth, which are flat and used for cutting, and you have cuspids which are pointed and made for tearing. Then, you have molars that make it easier to chew and break down your food. Saliva is made to help break down food and to help the food go easily down your throat. The molars have their raised and dipped shape to make it easier to mash up the food and hold it in place during the chewing process. Since each tooth has a specific job, it is important to replace them if you lose one or have one extracted.
Speak to a dentist if you are self-conscious about your teeth, have damaged your enamel, or are experiencing other tooth-related issues.
