If you have gluten intolerance, it is taking a toll on your teeth. A 2016 study published in The European Journal of Oral Sciences confirmed that gluten causes the body to produce an immune reaction against a main protein responsible for creating tooth enamel. "The outside protective layer of teeth is enamel and is what makes teeth bright and shiny. The absence of it causes an excess of cavities, tooth wear, tooth loss and infection," comments Dr. Busch.

It used to be an inconvenience to get a crown placed. The X-rays, the trays full of goop that made everyone gag. It felt like all the teeth were coming out when they pulled the tray out, plus at least two visits to the dentist's office. The final step was to get a temporary crown that tasted and felt like aluminum foil.

Remember when cosmetic dentistry was only for the rich and famous? Movie stars underwent cosmetic procedures to keep their smiles white and beautiful in order to keep their jobs on the big screen. Now, with new techniques and advancements in cosmetic dentistry, anybody can have a dazzling smile.

Before the development of dental implants, a patient with a missing tooth or teeth had only two options: either get a dental bridge or do nothing about it. Neither solution was ideal, as dental bridges require one more tooth on either side of the missing tooth to be sacrificed, while ignoring the problem meant having to put up with poorer oral function, diet and general health. Today, Dr. Bill Busch recommends dental implants as the most effective, practical and aesthetically pleasing means of tooth restoration.
