Everyone knows (at least we hope) that you should brush and floss regularly, visit the dentist, and try not to subside on a diet entirely consisting of candy. There has to, however, be more to it than just the simple things. After all your dentist has undergone years of education and training to provide you with great care. The following quiz merely scratches the surface but it will hopefully enlighten you to some interesting facts about your pearly whites. 
If you were to visit Oral B or Phillip’s websites you would find that they under no uncertain terms state that the powered toothbrushes are more effective than manually brushing. This is not surprising. Many manufacturers of products claim to be the champions of that industry. You can find the “best” diets, Airborne claims to fight off colds, and Audiomason’s speakers are 200,000% more eco-friendly than your home speakers. We feel that it is beneficial to provide you with an analysis of the powered toothbrushes with data to back it up. 
Do you have sleep apnea? Obstructive sleep apnea is a common condition characterized by brief lapses in breath during sleep. These can range from just a few in the course of an evening to so many that sleep is severely disturbed. A significant percentage of people that suffer from obstructive sleep apnea don’t even know they have the affliction. Hopefully this can shed some insight into the problem. 
Are you missing teeth? Does this make it more difficult to chew or speak? Do these teeth show when you smile? Teeth are lost due to many different reasons. Trauma, decay, systemic complications, and other reasons can leave a person without one or more teeth.

Here we will discuss several different treatments that are available for you from your dentist. 
Cosmetic dentistry is a progressive segment of dentistry. There are constantly new materials, technologies, and methods to attain the best possible results. Cosmetic dentistry refers to any sections of dentistry that are designed to make the teeth, gums, and smile of patients as aesthetically pleasing as possible. You will see many dentists market themselves as cosmetic dentists. There is no formally recognized training involved in cosmetic dentistry so dentists can freely use this term in their description. This information makes it crucial for patients to interview the prospective doctor to determine that particular doctor’s qualifications. The best way to become trained as a “cosmetic dentist” is to become a master at the different treatments involved in this section as well as the ability to properly treatment plan any situation.

Do You Brush Your Teeth Correctly? Maybe Not 
When teeth are missing there is a number of reasons to replace them. First aesthetically, this can be a difficult social problem. People with missing teeth have reported to think about the “tooth gap” with every smile and every conversation. In addition, eating can be problematic.

Functional problems also arise from missing teeth. Speech patterns can be affected if teeth in the front are missing. Missing teeth also make the face sag and indent and give the “old maid” look where the chin appears protruded.
