The Ideal Morning And Night Skincare Regimen

/0 Comments/in /by

Do you already have your daily go-to skin regimen every day? Having an effective and consistent morning and evening skincare regimen stabilizes your skin and its health.

That’s how essential it is to have a regimen that works for you. If you’re still puzzled and are still looking for the right regimen for you, let’s get you some help.

In the morning, take the following steps:

Clean your skin – This should be as easy as ABC. Simply rinse off the residue with warm water and a gentle cleanser.

Use Toner – use a toner for your skin type that will deliver active ingredients like A and B vitamins and antioxidants as well as shrinking pores.

Don’t Forget Moisturizer and Sunscreen – Never ever forget your moisturizer and sunscreen. You should use a moisturizer that contains sunscreen or apply an effective moisturizer for your skin type followed by a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher.

Acne Treatments – Apply spot treatments for acne rather than washing the whole face with these usually harsh and abrasive products.

Serums & Eye creams – These are concentrated products used to tackle fine lines and wrinkles.

After your morning skincare regimen, you should apply makeup or other products as you usually would. At night time, your routine will be similar to your morning plan with some basic changes.

Follow these steps for the evening:

Cleansing – Use an oil-based makeup remover to avoid pulling or scrubbing at the skin. Then, gently rinse with warm water and clean skin with a mild cleanser.

Hydration – A lot of moisture is lost from the skin at night while we sleep. You may want to apply an extra hydrating mask or skin oil a few times a week or every night if you have dry skin. You should also apply a moisturizer or night cream liberally before going to sleep.

Toners & Boosters – You can use the same toner you use in the mornings at nighttime. You can also apply mists, boosters, and essences that can add glow and vitality to your skin.

Following these recommended steps will give your skin the daily boost it needs for its glow and health.

Fixing A Cracked Tooth | Shinagawa Dental Blog

Fixing A Cracked Tooth

/0 Comments/in /by

Knowing if you have a cracked tooth should be a concern for you if you love your teeth.

A cracked tooth is most common on teeth in the back of your mouth where the majority of chewing happens. All degrees of a crack can be classified under the diagnosis of “Cracked Tooth Syndrome.”

As we continue to age, our teeth can begin to have little lines or cracks on the surface. Although these may seem concerning, oftentimes they are simply what we call “craze lines.” These craze lines are in fact cracks in the tooth enamel, generally limited to the superficial outer layer of the tooth, that develop over time with normal wear and tear. Craze lines are not serious as long as they do not penetrate to the inner surface of the tooth called dentin.

If you have a cracked tooth, you may notice sensitivity or pain when biting and chewing food. In more severe cases, it will hurt consistently, especially around the gums if the tooth segment is loose. There are various types of cracked teeth, and depending on how deep the damage goes, certain treatment options are suggested based on your situation. Treatment can be as simple as a crown, but in more extreme cases removing the tooth completely is required.

Typically a cracked tooth will require more invasive treatment than a chipped tooth. If the crack extends beyond the surface of the tooth, a root canal is likely recommended and then places a crown to cover the entire tooth.

Here are the most common treatments for a cracked tooth:

Least severe: The tooth will require a dental crown to cover and restore the damage.

Medium severity: If the crack has extended a little deeper into the tooth, it is often treated by performing a root canal procedure, then placing a crown on the tooth to restore aesthetics and functionality.

Most severe: If the crack has extended deep into the tooth, a tooth extraction needs to be performed. This is the most extreme situation and dentists usually try their best to keep your natural teeth and repair the damage if possible. If an extraction is the best treatment plan, a dental implant can be used to replace your original tooth.
