23.01.2022 Brush and Floss Each Day to Avoid Decay Good oral hygiene is an important part of your overall health, and can also allow you to greet the world with a big healthy smile. By making regular tooth brushing and flossing a priority, youll reap long-term benefits of reducing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. The American Dental Association recommends tooth brushing twice a day, along with daily flossing, to help promote oral health. Remember that just brushing your teeth... isnt enough. Both brushing and flossing are important because they help promote oral health in different ways. Why you need to brush: Tooth brushing with fluoride toothpaste helps control plaque, which is the residue that can build up on teeth. Be sure to replace your toothbrush (or toothbrush head if you use an electric brush) every three to four months. Why you need to floss: Flossing is important because proper flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from those spaces between the teeth where a toothbrush cant reach. So if all you do is brush, youre missing an opportunity to promote not only healthy teeth, but also healthy gums. Research shows that regular flossing can reduce the risk of developing gum disease. Consistency is what counts. Find the toothbrush and floss you prefer, and get kids their favorite colors and characters to encourage good brushing habits. Theres a toothbrush and type of floss for everyone, so there is no reason to shy away from complete oral care.

22.01.2022 Saliva Shortage? Pay Extra Attention to Plaque Removal Saliva has an important job to do in your mouth. For starters, it helps to remove food particles. But it also helps prevent tooth decay and infection by washing away plaque and keeping disease-causing bacteria from building up on your teeth and gums. But saliva cant do all that work by itself. So its important to remove plaque yourself by practicing good oral hygiene, which means proper flossing each day, and twice-dai...Continue reading

21.01.2022 Do not Fear the Fluoride You may have always wondered just why fluoride is so important - or even if its safe. The simple truth is that exposing your teeth to a modest but consistent amount of fluoride throughout life helps strengthen the tooth enamel and protect against tooth decay.... For most people - such as older children and adults - fluoride is safe in moderate amounts, such as the amounts in toothpaste, tap water, and mouthwashes. But infants and children whose teeth have not yet emerged from their gums can develop a condition called enamel fluorosis if they are exposed to too much fluoride. Fluorosis appears as thin lines or streaks on the tooth enamel. One way that infants may become over-exposed to fluoride is if they are fed powdered infant formula mixed with fluoridated water as their primary source of food during their first year of life. This may result in a very mild or mild case of enamel fluorisis, which is barely noticeable. Occasional use of formula mixed with tap water should not increase an infants fluorosis risk, but talk to your dentist and pediatrician if you have concerns. Breast milk contains very little fluoride, even if a breastfeeding mother drinks fluoridated water and uses fluoride toothpaste daily, so theres no reason for a new mom to neglect her own oral health. Enamel fluorosis affects the appearance of the teeth, but not their overall function. You can prevent your child from developing fluorosis by choosing a toothpaste that doesnt contain fluoride. Once the teeth have fully emerged from the gums they are no longer at risk. But keep in mind that fluoride is not meant to be swallowed. Which is why some dentists recommend that very young children avoid fluoride toothpaste - they have not yet developed the reflexes to keep from swallowing it.

16.01.2022 Invisalign Having a confident smile can change everything. And Invisalign makes the decision easy, because you can get a great and healthy smile without most people even noticing you're going through treatment. So start on the right track today, and find out how you can achieve the smile youve always wanted with Invisalign. Your Invisalign treatment consists of a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that you change every two weeks for the next set of aligners. E...ach aligner is individually manufactured for your teeth, and your teeth only. As you replace each aligner, your teeth will move little by little, week by week until they have straightened to the final position prescribed by your dental practitioner. If you're ready for a smile that transforms your appearance, Invisalign is your answer. Although there are many choices out there, no other treatment works as comfortably as Invisalign.

13.01.2022 Feeling Confident in Dentures Getting Used To Dentures Dentures take some getting used to, but with a few simple strategies up your sleeve, you can feel confident all day long.... Eating with Confidence When you speak, the sound reaches your ears through vibrations in the bones of the jaw and skull. Wearing dentures changes and increases the sound, but this is much more noticeable to you than to anyone else. If your dentures "click" when you speak, try to speak more slowly to avoid movements that raise and/or move your lower denture. Keeping your lower denture in place requires the ability to hold it still with the muscles of your lips, cheeks, and tongue. At first, these muscles may tend to "kick out" your denture. With time and practice, you will be able to overcome the difficulties of speaking. To speak more confidently while wearing your dentures: -Bite and swallow before speaking. This places your dentures in position so you can speak more clearly. -Practice reading aloud. -Use a denture adhesive. Using an adhesive will help keep your dentures in place and make it easier to speak clearly. Eating with Confidence As a new denture wearer, you may find that chewing feels different with dentures. You also may think that food has "lost its flavor." While you are adjusting to wearing your dentures, your mind is receiving strong signals from your mouth about your dentures, which overpower the messages from your taste buds. After you are accustomed to the denture, your mind will pay less attention to your dentures and more to your taste buds. During your adjustment time, you may have trouble sensing hot foods and drinks, which is common with new denture wearers. Be careful; you don't want to burn your mouth. To eat more easily and enjoyably while wearing dentures: -Begin with small quantities of food cut into smaller pieces. -Chew half of the food in your mouth on the back-left side of your mouth and the other half on the back-right side. This will even out the pressure on your dentures. -Start with soft foods. Some good examples are eggs, fish, chopped meat, cooked vegetables, and puddings. After you feel more confident, try eating chewier foods, such as steak or celery. (Credit to Source: https://oralb.com//oral-care/feeling-confident-in-dentures)

12.01.2022 Can You Benefit From Dental Implants? If youre missing one or more of your teeth and would prefer not to have a bridge or full or partial dentures, you might consider asking your dentist whether youd be a good candidate for dental implants. Dental implants provide a more natural tooth replacement than dentures because theyre artificial teeth that are attached directly to the jawbone. To benefit from dental implants, you must be in good health (aside from missing teeth) an...d have a fully developed and healthy jawbone - healthy gums and a healthy jawbone are needed to support the implants. If youre healthy and your dentist determines that youre a good candidate for implants, he or she will schedule the procedure to take place either at the dentists office under local anesthesia, depending on the patients particular dental health needs and the amount of surgery that is required. But implants arent a good choice for everyone. Pregnant women and people with chronic illness or immunosuppression (due to the increased risk of infection during surgery), children (because their jawbones are still developing) and people who grind or clench their teeth (this habit can put too much pressure on implants), are not good candidates for dental implants. Keep in mind that the surgery to place dental implants takes several hours, and more than one procedure may be needed. So anyone who is at increased risk for infection may not want to choose dental implants. If youre healthy and you undergo surgery for dental implants, be sure to follow your dentists instructions for oral hygiene - including twice-daily toothbrushing and daily flossing - following the procedure to keep your new teeth clean and healthy.

06.01.2022 Food Choices That Prevent Tooth Decay It's no fun passing up sugary treats like cookies and candies. But when it comes to tooth decay, food choices play an important role. Some foods can harm your teeth, while others contain essential nutrients to keep them healthy and strong. To help prevent tooth decay, keep the following food choices in mind. Calcium... Calcium is a prime ingredient for preventing tooth decay, especially for growing children. Dairy is a great source, with choices such as milk, yogurt and cheese. And calcium isn't hiding in the fat, so skim milk and low-fat yogurt are just as good. Other options are leafy greens such as broccoli and bok choy, canned fish with bones, almonds, Brazil nuts and dried beans. Fruit, Fiber and Veggies Eating high-fiber foods keeps saliva flowing, which helps create mineral defenses against tooth decay. Good sources of fiber are dried fruits such as dates, raisins and figs, and fresh fruits, like bananas, apples and oranges. Other options include veggies, such as beans, Brussels sprouts and peas, along with peanuts, almonds and bran. Whole Grains Whole grains provide B vitamins and iron, which help keep gums healthy. Whole grains also have magnesium-an important ingredient for bones and teeth. In addition, whole grains are high in fiber. Look for foods such as bran, brown rice, and whole-grain cereals and pasta to be good sources of whole grains. Sugar Snacks When you get the munchies, focus on choosing healthy foods, like the ones we mentioned earlier. Try to steer clear of sweets, because sugar partners with plaque to weaken enamel, leaving you vulnerable to tooth decay. In fact, each time you eat a sugary snack, your teeth are under siege for the next 20 minutes. The Food Pyramid When looking to follow a healthy diet that's good for your teeth and the rest of your body, try sticking to the food pyramid. The pyramid is structured to give you a healthy serving of all the necessary food groups you need throughout the day.
