| Board Certification for Cosmetic Dentistry? Dentists Say No.
Dentists are opposed to cosmetic dentistry becoming a board-certified specialty, according to a Wealthy Dentist survey. Most already practice some form of cosmetic dentistry, and general dentists want to be able to continue to offer their patients cosmetic options. The 11% of dentists in favor of cosmetic credentials are concerned about the quality of care offered by some so-called "cosmetic dentists." .
Malls in Bangkok, Thailand, offer one-stop beauty shopping, healthy cheap food — and jobs
While mall shopping is a big pastime for Americans, it serves additional purposes for travelers to Bangkok. For many visitors, the heat and pollution of the city can be overwhelming, and they'll walk into a mall for relief. On the surface, malls in Thailand appear similar to malls in the U.S., until you take a closer look. There are clothing stores and movie theaters, but unlike in the U.S., you will also find dental and cosmetic surgery. It's not enough in Thailand to get the new outfit; you also want to have the whitest teeth and a wrinkle-free complexion to match. Thai malls take one-stop shopping for good looks even further. A shopping list might include a new pair of jeans and a spot of Botox. And because all that shopping might be a little strenuous, Thai malls offer massage.cosmetic dental

Interactive Leonardo: The 40s
As we age, our teeth and gums can take a lot of wear and tear. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, strikes over 70 percent of the adult population. Furthermore, most of us develop minor cosmetic dental conditions after age 40. Gum Disease
Chronic periodontal disease is a persistent and sometimes painful inflammation of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Starting with an inflammation caused by plaque build-up (also known as gingivitis), periodontal disease can lead to gum recession, loose teeth, changes in tooth position, and tooth loss. Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in people over the age of 40, but it can be controlled or prevented by brushing and flossing after every meal. Cosmetic Conditions
Though some people go through life blessed with sturdy, ultra-bright white choppers, common cosmetic conditions in the 40s include darkened, stained, chipped, or cracked teeth.
