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.

3 Ways Dental Crowns Can Improve Your Quality Of Life
Franklin Steward
Dental crowns are a major part of any dental practice, and the procedure to insert a crown is a routine one. Yet many patients, even those who otherwise regularly visit their dentist for cleanings, may be hesitant to have a crown inserted. If you have a tooth that is broken or decayed, it is important to know that a crown is, in virtually every instance, guaranteed to vastly improve your quality of life. Take a look below at just three of the biggest reasons why.
A Crown Makes Meals Enjoyable Again
When you have a missing or broken tooth, the strength of the surrounding teeth, gums, and jaw can suffer as a result. Chewing then in turn becomes more difficult -- even painful in severe cases. A crown placed over the tooth makes eating far easier, though, which should be reason enough to speak with your dentist about the possibility of having one inserted.
A Crown Protects Against Bacteria
All infections are caused by bacteria, and broken or missing teeth are hot spots for bacteria. Something as simple as a piece of food that gets stuck in your teeth can give bacteria and plaque the fuel they need to begin the process of decay. Fortunately, a crown can act as a kind of protective layer that prevents bacteria from doing their worst. If you already have the warning signs of an infection, set up a consultation with your dentist as soon as possible to see if a post-treatment crown is right for you.
A Crown Looks Like Any Other Tooth
It is all but certain that crowns would be fairly unpopular if they stood out like sore thumbs. Thankfully, modern dental crowns are now made out of high-quality resin and ceramics, meaning they look and feel exactly like natural teeth. This has the important effect of restoring people's confidence in their appearance. With a dental crown securely in place, they are likely to smile and laugh more naturally and more frequently.
While it may seem like a minor fix confined that doesn't affect much beyond your oral health, the truth is that a dental crown can significantly impact your overall quality of life. If you have been dealing with the consequences of a broken or missing tooth for the past few weeks, take the time to make an appointment at your local dentist's office in the next few days for more information on tooth crowns.
