As you read on, your cosmetic dentist in Williamstown discusses some of the latest fads and why you should stick to methods that are tried and true.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>5 Unhealthy Dental Trends Discussed<\/h2>\n<p>You may be shocked at what some people will think of when it comes to making cosmetic adjustments to their appearance. The following risky practices should absolutely be avoided:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Widening a Gap <\/strong>\u2013 Your teeth maintain a degree of equilibrium that affects the stability of your entire jawbone. When you intentionally try to widen a gap between your teeth, you could experience some very serious problems, one of which being TMJ disorder \u2013 the acute inflammation of the joint where the upper and lower jaw meet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tooth Reshaping <\/strong>\u2013 Another craze involves reshaping teeth to look like fangs using fillers. This can result in weaker structures that are more sensitive and could easily break.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crown Lengthening <\/strong>\u2013 Equally as troubling as reshaping your teeth is crown lengthening. Usually reserved as a corrective measure, in recent years this has become a cosmetic fad. The process involves removing gum tissue from the teeth, making them appear longer. Because it requires a surgery to complete, the chances of side effects or complications increases.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diamond Teeth<\/strong> \u2013 Just when you think you\u2019ve heard it all, you learn about a process called diamond teeth, where a person replaces or covers their existing ivories permanently with diamonds. This creates a health hazard because the diamonds can fall out if the wrong food is eaten and can stifle your oral hygiene habits as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Removable Mouth Jewelry \u201cBling\u201d <\/strong>\u2013 While wearing bling can make your mouth sparkle, its effects can dim your dental health. That\u2019s because the inserts can contribute to bacteria growth that can lead to a host of oral problems like cavities and gum disease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keep it Simple<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to making cosmetic improvements to your smile, it\u2019s best to keep it simple. Stick to the methods that have been tested and proven to be safe and effective. Therefore, you can enjoy the best of both worlds \u2013 a better looking and properly functioning smile.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about reasonable ways to cosmetically overhaul the look of your ivories, reach out to your local dentist to schedule a consultation today. Soon, you\u2019ll have the smile you\u2019ve always wanted without worrying about problems down the road!<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A graduate of Temple University, Dr. Wael M.
