Smoking can have various negative effects on oral health, including several tongue-related problems.  Heavy smoking Here are some common tongue issues associated with smoking: Discoloration: Smoking can cause the tongue to develop a yellow or brownish discoloration.

 Many of us has missing teeth, causing spaces,it might be difficult to chew food with it, and they do not know what to do. Some others do not know what is the difference between crown and bridge. So I am here to explain that. What is a bridge? A bridge is a dental appliance that replaces one or more natural missing teeth, thereby “bridging” the space between two teeth. Fixed bridges are cemented into place next to the “abutment” teeth—surrounding teeth on either side of the space, or “span.” Unlike removable partial dentures, fixed bridges cannot be taken out of the mouth by the patient. A fixed bridge is a device that typically consists of three units—a pontic (false tooth) fused between two crowns that are cemented onto the abutment  teeth .  Who should get a bridge? If you are missing any teeth and are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene practices, you may be a good candidate for a bridge. A bridge is one of the most natural c...
