By this age, the back molars have grown in, and some front teeth have

important to get rid of the old liners and replace
them with acrylic, to solidify and tighten the fit of the

HOW does the car
brake system work?
Thebrakepedalinyourcaris
connected to the power brake
booster. When the brake pedal
is pressed the brake booster
assists by the brake
pedal softer for braking ease.
The master cylinder. which is connected to the
brake booster, sends brake fluid through the brake
lines down to the calipers and wheel cylinders at
each wheel
The calipers squeeze the brake pads onto the
brake rotors, and the wheel cylinders use brake fluid
to press the brake shoes out against the drums.
Byusing friction, the car slows down.

What is a Deep Cleaning at the Dentist?
Plaque and tartar can collect on your teeth over time. Nth regular care and
good hygiene. this plaque and
tartar can be brushed away and removed during routine dental cleanings. If
left undisturbed the plaque can
calcify into a very hard material dentists call "calculus."
Calculus is very rigid and most of the time cannot
be removed with brushing alone. Bacteria thrive in environments with
calculus and cause the surrounding
structures ofbone and gums to be irritated Over time. the irritation leads
to the loss of the supporting
bone around teeth and the associated gum tissue. The boneless and
deterioration around the teeth lead
to pocketing around the teeth. These pockets are notorious for harboring
the damaging bacteria that
allows this cycle of irritation and bone loss to occur. The generally 4mm
or more, are impossible to
clean with toothbrush bristles. When these pockets exist and the bacteria
are causing deterioration of the
periodontal structures its known as "periodontal disease."
Your dentist may recommend a deep. cleaning to help treat periodontal
disease. The dentist uses local
anesthetic to numb the affected areas and clean the deep pockets that
cannot be reached with a toothbrush.
These areas cannot be comfortably cleaned duringa routine dental cleaning
Removal of the calculus that lies below the guns and
disruption of the bacteria allow the chronic inflammation to improve,
allowing a reduction in pocket depth. This reduction give:
appropriate access. allowing routine brushing and cleanings to reach the
needed areas.
The problem is that until periodontal disease gets quite severe. the person
often has no symptoms. The goodvnews is tln‘t if gum disease
is caught in time, its progression can be halted and improved upon.
Periodontal disease has also been linked to many chronic, systemic
diseases a: well. It is mnemer irnpimant tohave your periodontal status
assessed at routine dental checkups.
