25.01.2022 What Does Fluoride Do? Fluoride is probably an ingredient in your toothpaste or mouthwash. What is fluoride, and what can it do for your teeth? Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral often found in drinking water and certain foods. It protects teeth in two ways:... 1. By aiding your tooth enamel to be produced in a more decay-resistant form. 2. By protecting the enamel from being attacked by acid from bacteria in your mouth. These bacteria are made even more potent when there is sugar in your diet. Bacteria love sugar. The resulting acid attacks your enamel and can cause tooth decay. Fluoride is available in several forms: Fluoride treatments during a visit to our practice Over-the-counter and prescription toothpastes and rinses Supplements prescribed by a dentist or medical doctor If you drink bottled water or have a higher risk of tooth decay, you may not be getting enough fluoride in your diet.

Are any of your teeth loose? This is something that should never happen to an adult. Do you currently have an infection? A serious tooth infection or even an abscess can potentially be life-threatening. Are you bleeding? This is also a major warning sign of an emergency.

20.01.2022 The Importance of Dental X-rays Dental x-rays. X-rays give us an inside look at whats going on in your mouth. Among the most helpful advances in oral health has been the use of X-ray. Dental X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool. They provide the dentist with a variety of critical data.... X-rays are a form of energy. Theyre related to sunlight, radio waves and the heat generated by an electric stove element. A visual exam doesnt tell the dentist everything they need to know. X-rays supply a more complete picture. They can often detect problems before symptoms arise. By catching and addressing problems early, it may save you time, money and discomfort. Plus, it can help prevent more serious health problems. We use dental X-rays to detect or rule out a variety of oral health issues: Tooth decay Areas of decay show up as dark spots in X-ray images. X-rays are especially helpful by revealing hard-to-see decay between teeth. Periodontal disease Infection around the root of a tooth can occur below the gum line. Naturally, X-ray imaging must be used to see whats going on. Cracks in teeth and fillings Hairline cracks are often invisible to the naked eye, but become more obvious on X-ray. This is often an early sign that a crown will be needed to save the tooth. Cysts Lumps, polyps, nodules and soft tissue growths below the gum line can be more readily seen with routine X-rays. Cancer Bone and other types of cancers can be identified at an early stage, improving treatment options. Infection X-rays can reveal certain bacterial infections. They become useful for detecting the possibility of a failed root canal. Bone loss X-ray is an essential tool when diagnosing advanced cases of periodontal disease. Impacted teeth X-rays can show the exact position of teeth that have not erupted yet. X-rays reveal their location and direction. Unerupted teeth As children mature, X-rays confirm the position of permanent teeth. They also show any blockages to their proper eruption. Clearly, X-rays give the dentist a lot of valuable information. If youre a new patient, taking a full series of X-rays provides an important starting point for your care. As you continue with regular checkups, fewer X-rays are usually needed. Todays dental X-ray procedures are designed to minimi[z]e radiation. So, exposure is negligible. Especially in light of how much information they can provide. Dental X-rays may seem like a lot of trouble or an extra expense. But when it comes to providing quality dental care they are as important as regular teeth cleanings.

18.01.2022 Good dental health for your baby can start even before that first tooth shows. A soft piece of cloth can be used to wipe down your babys gums after feedings to be sure to wipe away bacteria. As soon as that first tooth comes to the gum surface, use a soft toothbrush or soft cloth to brush the tooth with small, gentle, circular movements. Give a bit more attention to where the tooth meets the gum, since its easier for bacteria to get trapped in this area. Although your child...s baby teeth will eventually fall out, its important to care for them now because they set the stage for your babys permanent, adult teeth. Your child can have trouble speaking or chewing properly if their baby teeth arent cared for. And youre teaching them a great, healthy habit at a young age.

15.01.2022 Ox Hooves, Crushed Rocks and Eggshells Paste on toothbrush. The ingredients in toothpaste were designed to keep their gums clean, teeth white and breath fresh. Today, its available as a gel, a powder or a paste. You probably put it on your toothbrush without much thought. It may surprise you to learn that toothpaste is not a new invention. What is new are the ingredients that help prevent cavities, reduce sensitivity and brighten your smile.... Heres a brief and fascinating history of dentifrice. The Ancients Used Toothpaste Bad breath and stained teeth have been around as long as humans have. It was the Egyptians who started using a paste to clean their teeth. Back in 5000 BC, even before the invention of the toothbrush, Egyptians were cleaning their teeth and gums. The ingredients were designed to keep their gums clean, teeth white and breath fresh. These included a powder made from ox hooves, burnt eggshells and pumice rock. The Greeks and Romans preferred a more abrasive cleaning and used crushed bones and oyster shells. Ingredients added by the Romans helped tame bad breath. They often used powdered charcoal or bark. The Chinese relied on a different palate of [flavor]ings including ginseng, herbal mints and even salt. Some ancient formulations included mint, dried iris flowers, pepper and even burnt bread. Many of these concoctions produced bleeding gumsrather than preventing them. Innovation In The 1800s Many of the toothpaste products that we know today got their start in the 19th century. These versions often contained soap. In the 1850s chalk was introduced as an abrasive agent. Prior to the mid-1800s, dentifrice was usually a powder. But by 1873 a crme product was developed by Colgate, later offering it in a tube similar to todays toothpaste tubes. The Addition of Pharmacological Ingredients Around the time of the First World War, fluoride was added to toothpastes. This, after it was discovered the element could help reduce the formation of dental cavities. With the advent of mass advertising and the stigma of "halitosis" was introduced. So, manufacturers added ingredients designed to reduce bad breath. More recently, herbal toothpastes have become available. They include ingredients such as peppermint oil, myrrh and various plant extracts. Theres edible toothpaste as well. They were created for astronauts who cant spit in zero gravity. Down on earth it has found a market for children learning to brush their teeth. Today you can choose from a breathtaking variety of toothpastes and gels. They contain ingredients that make them smooth, foam and moist. Plus, they may contain fluoride, col[o]ring, flav[o]ring and even sweeteners. Regardless of the ingredients in your fav[o]rite tube, the key is to use it regularly!

03.01.2022 Is It Plaque and Tartar? Breakfast foods. Sugar can be sneaky and a cause of plaque. Take a look at your diet and try to cut excess sugar. The terms plaque and tartar are often used interchangeably. However, there are a few key differences. Its a difference that not only affects your teeth but your overall health.... It All Starts With Eating Plaque and tartar are issues because most of us enjoy eating. Sometimes three times a day. Or more often. Eating begins the digestion process. As we chew, saliva mixes with the crushed food to start breaking it down so our body can absorb its nutrients. This is the perfect environment for bacteria to grow. In fact, at this very moment you have over 500 different species waiting for their (your) next meal. One way to put an end to the creation of plaque and tartar is to stop eating. We dont recommend that. Instead, there are some simple strategies you can deploy to at least slow the process. Which Produces Plaque Plaque is a clear sticky residue that is constantly forming on your teeth throughout the day and night. Plaque begins to develop on our teeth within hours after eating. Food particles, bacteria and saliva all combine to form this colorless film. Its what makes your teeth feel "dirty" between brushings or upon waking in the morning. The bacteria in your mouth are having a field day. The result is a variety of acids, which attack your teeth and gums. This is the same bacteria, which if left unchecked, produce gingivitis and cavities. The key purpose of brushing and flossing is to consistently interrupt this bacterial growth. If it isnt, it can harden into tartar. Tartar Beware When plaque accumulates it can minerali[z]e, causing it to harden within 24 to 72 hours, turning into a substance called tartar or calculus. Tartar tends to bond quite strongly to tooth enamel. The most prevalent areas where this occurs are adjacent to salivary glands, such as the lower front teeth and the upper molars next to the cheeks. Its tough stuff. This hard, crusty material can trap stains, turning yellow or brown. As we age we become more prone to tartar build up. You also have a greater risk of developing tartar if you suffer from dry mouth, have crowded teeth or smoke. About two-thirds of all adults have tartar build up on their teeth. The inflammation from the bacteria not only becomes gum disease, it can produce an inflammatory effect throughout your body and cardiovascular system. The best way to fight tartar is to constantly reduce the formation of plaque. Which you can do at home. Once it becomes tartar, youll need the help of a dental professional. All of us experience plaque buildup, regardless of how well we care for our teeth and gums. Even dentists and hygienists. Thats why its so important to brush and floss regularly and see us for professional cleanings.
