A Little Bit of Dentistry


Since one of the goals of my blog is to introduce you to different topics of dentistry, I think it's just right to introduce you briefly to a new tendency on dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry.
I'll explain in a few words, the main difference between traditional General Dentistry and Cosmetic Dentistry.

Traditional dentistry focuses mainly on oral hygiene, as well as preventing, diagnosing and treating oral diseases. On the other hand, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a person's teeth, mouth and smile.

We could say that restorative, general and family dental practices solve dental problems that require necessary treatments, while cosmetic dentistry provides elective -or desired treatments or services.

Just until a few months ago, I thought people just go to the dentist because they are in pain, or need a filling, a root canal treatment or some other kind of restorative treatment, but since working at Joinway Dental, I've learnt a lot and I've seen how more and more patients are walking into the clinic asking today for cosmetic surgery.

Then I realized that it actually makes sense, people are looking really hard every day to boost their self-steem, people worry about personal appearance now more than a few decades ago.
A beautiful smile, with sparkling white teeth and perfectly healthy mouth can make a very lasting impression on people around us, and can make us all very happy and confident.

So, although we have a very old concept of dentistry, I encourage you all to try some basic procedures so you can feel better and happy and make people around you happy.

If you have tried any kind of cosmetic dental treatment or if you have any information or questions about the topic, you are welcome to leave your comments on our comments section.
