Best rated teeth whitening services in Edinburgh? What are dental crowns and bridges? A dental crown sits over a tooth that may have been broken or weakened and helps return the tooth to its former strength and shape. If you are missing one or more teeth a dental bridge can be fitted. A bridge is similar to a crown but is used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. Conventional bridges are made by crowning the teeth on either side of the gap and attaching a false tooth in the middle to restore function and look natural. The bridge also stops the surrounding teeth from moving out of place over time and maintains the shape of the face.

Baby teeth start to break through the gums around 6 months but it is important to start good oral care for infants even before the first tooth comes in. From healthy gums come healthy teeth. Wipe your baby’s gums with a soft washcloth after feeding. This helps remove the bacteria that can cause tooth decay.
