25.01.2022 Dental Benefits of Xylitol Tooth decay happens when bacteria in your mouth consume the sugars we eat. When you eat food containing ordinary sugar (sucrose), it gives bacteria on your teeth energy, allowing them to multiply and start making acids that can eat away the enamel on the teeth. This acid attack causes tooth decay and cavities to begin to form. Xylitol is a natural sweetener derived from the fibrous parts of plants. It does not break down like sugar and can help ke...ep a neutral pH level in the mouth. Xylitol also prevents bacteria from sticking to the teeth. This is how it protects the teeth from tooth decay. With the dental benefits of Xylitol, the acid attack that would otherwise last for over half an hour is stopped. Less Bacteria, Less Acid Healthier Teeth! Because the bacteria in the mouth that are causing cavities are unable to digest xylitol, their growth is greatly reduced. The number of acid-producing bacteria may fall as much as 90%. No acid is formed because the pH of saliva and plaque does not fall. After taking xylitol, the bacteria do not stick well on the surface of the teeth and as a result, the amount of plaque decreases.

24.01.2022 Oral Health for Children How Do I Help My Children Care for Their Teeth and Prevent Cavities? Teaching your child proper oral care at a young age is an investment in his or her health that will pay lifelong dividends. You can start by setting an example; taking good care of your own teeth sends a message that oral health is something to be valued. And anything that makes taking care of teeth fun, like brushing along with your child or letting them choose their own toothbrush, encourages proper oral care. http://www.airportdental.com.au/index.php/info-for-patients

23.01.2022 Bruxism refers to grinding of the teeth during sleep (and sometimes during the day). In addition to being detrimental to oral and dental health, the noise from bruxism is often disturbing for others. Bruxism can lead to headaches, jaw pain and daytime tiredness (from disruption to normal sleep brain-rhythms). If left undetected, dental damage will usually occur, leading to tooth loss and gum disease. read more: http://www.airportdental.com.au//gen/16-general/56-bruxism

12.01.2022 Fissue sealants absolutely beneficial!! The August edition of The Journal of the American Dental Association contains a systematic review of the use of sealants as well as clinical practice guidelines that have been updated as a result of that review, which indicate the benefit of using sealants to prevent and manage occlusal caries in children and adolescents. The guidelines show that sealants are more effective in managing pit and fissure caries than fluoride treatmen...ts, such as varnish, said the articles lead author, Dr. John Timothy Wright. According to the article, the analysis indicated that children treated with sealants have about a 70 to 80 percent reduction in the incidence of occlusal caries compared with children that do not receive sealants. Check how you can benefit from them. Read more: http://www.airportdental.com.au//preventi/fissure-sealants

11.01.2022 The tongue position when swallowing can be important indication of a persons health, and it can impact in the way they look and speak. Luckily, an abnormal tongue position can be corrected with Myofunctional therapy (a specialized training process that ensures a future of good health and a pleasing smile despite having a development condition) This form of therapy is a method of exercising the mouth and facial muscles to correct a deviated swallow - often referred to as "tongue thrust". The condition can be found in adults and children with speech disorders as well as people with misaligned teeth. Myofunctional therapy is ultimately customized for the individual based on age, allowing the patient to swallow correctly as time goes on.

09.01.2022 Teeth Bonding or Resin Veneers Bonding is the application of a tooth-coloured composite resin (plastic) to repair a decayed, chipped, fractured or discoloured tooth. Unlike porcelain veneers, which are manufactured in a laboratory and require a customised mould to achieve a proper fit, bonding can be done in a single visit. The procedure is called bonding because the material bonds to the tooth. What its used for?... Bonding is among the easiest and least expensive of cosmetic dental procedures. The composite resin used in bonding can be shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth. Most often, bonding is used for cosmetic purposes to improve the appearance of a discoloured or chipped tooth. It also can be used to close spaces between teeth, to make teeth look longer or to change the shape or colour of teeth. Sometimes, tooth bonding is also used as a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings, or to protect a portion of the tooths root that has been exposed when gums recede.

04.01.2022 Gum (periodontal) disease is an infection that is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. Because gum disease is usually painless and develops slowly, a person may not be aware that the infection exists. Gum disease is caused by plaque, a sticky film of bacteria (germs) that constantly forms on the teeth. These bacteria create toxins that can eventually damage the gums and the bone surrounding the teeth. In the early stage of gum disease, called gingivitis, the gums become red..., swell, and bleed easily. The disease is still reversible at this stage, and can usually be eliminated by careful daily brushing and flossing. In the more advanced stages of gum disease, called periodontitis, the gums and bone that support the teeth become seriously damaged. If the disease is left untreated, it can eventually lead to loss of teeth. read more: http://www.airportdental.com.au//preventive-de/gum-disease

04.01.2022 FLOSS MYTHS AND REALITY When it comes to your health, flossing your teeth is more important than brushing. So, why do so many of us find reasons not to do it? Dentists say there are simple answers for all our excuses. Excuse No. 1: Food never gets stuck in my teeth.... You dont floss so much to remove food from the teeth. You do it to get rid of plaque, the bacterial film that forms between teeth and along your gum line. Doing so daily prevents gum disease and tooth loss. Everyone gets plaque, and it can only be removed by flossing or a deep cleaning from your dentist. Excuse No. 2: I dont know how to floss. Flossing is the most difficult personal grooming activity there is, says Samuel B. Low, DDS, a professor at the University of Florida and past president of the American Academy of Periodontology. But its one of the most important to learn. The American Dental Association gives these tips for flossing right: Use 18 inches of floss. Wrap most of it around the middle finger of one hand, the rest around your other middle finger. Grasp the string tightly between your thumb and forefinger, and use a rubbing motion to guide it between teeth. When the floss reaches the gum line, form a C to follow the shape of the tooth. Hold the strand firmly against the tooth, and move it gently up and down. Repeat with the other tooth, and then repeat the entire process with the rest of your teeth. Use fresh sections of floss as you go. Dont forget the back of your last molars. By far, most gum disease and most decay occurs in the back teeth, Low says. Excuse No. 3: Im not coordinated enough to floss. If you have trouble reaching the back of your mouth, ask your dentist about using one of these tools: plastic, disposable, Y-shaped flossers that allow for extra reach small, round brushes pointed, rubber tips wooden or plastic pics (called interdental cleaners) A child will need your help to floss until hes about 11 years old. Kids should start to floss as soon as they have two teeth that touch.
