When is the best time to get teeth whitening?

5/31/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
If you know you have an upcoming event, like a wedding, family get-together, school reunion, or another important social event, you can schedule your whitening weeks in advance. We recommend getting this cosmetic procedure about four to six weeks prior to your special event. This gives you enough time to whiten your teeth and for your teeth to overcome any temporary sensitivity caused by the whitening process.

Cavity - Risk factors

5/24/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Everyone who has teeth is at risk of getting cavities, but the following factors can increase the risk:

Tooth location. Decay most often occurs in your back teeth (molars and premolars). These teeth have lots of grooves, pits and crannies, and multiple roots that can collect food particles. As a result, they're harder to keep clean than your smoother, easy-to-reach front teeth. 

Certain foods and drinks. Foods that cling to your teeth for a long time — such as milk, ice cream, honey, sugar, soda, dried fruit, cake, cookies, hard candy and mints, dry cereal, and chips — are more likely to cause decay than foods that are easily washed away by saliva.
 

Frequent snacking or sipping. When you steadily snack or sip sugary drinks, you give mouth bacteria more fuel to produce acids that attack your teeth and wear them down. And sipping soda or other acidic drinks throughout the day helps create a continual acid bath over your teeth.
 

Inadequate brushing. If you don't clean your teeth soon after eating and drinking, plaque forms quickly and the first stages of decay can begin.
 

Not getting enough fluoride. Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral, helps prevent cavities and can even reverse the earliest stages of tooth damage. Because of its benefits for teeth, fluoride is added to many public water supplies. It's also a common ingredient in toothpaste and mouth rinses. But bottled water usually does not contain fluoride.
 

Dry mouth. Dry mouth is caused by a lack of saliva, which helps prevent tooth decay by washing away food and plaque from your teeth. Substances found in saliva also help counter the acid produced by bacteria. Certain medications, some medical conditions, radiation to your head or neck, or certain chemotherapy drugs can increase your risk of cavities by reducing saliva production. 

Eating disorders. Anorexia and bulimia can lead to significant tooth erosion and cavities. Stomach acid from repeated vomiting (purging) washes over the teeth and begins dissolving the enamel. Eating disorders also can interfere with saliva production.

​Are fillings considered preventive dental care?

Fillings are not considered preventive. They fall under “basic restorative” services, which often include fillings, extractions, and root canals, among other things.

Preventive dentistry is dental care that helps maintain good oral health. It’s a combination of regular dental check-ups along with developing good habits like brushing and flossing.

What are common preventive dentistry services?Preventive dentistry services may include: Regular oral exams, usually every 6 months Teeth cleaning Routine X-rays

Do I have more plaque than others?

5/10/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Everyone gets plaque and it's not a huge deal, so long as you remove it by regularly brushing and flossing your teeth. Who may be more likely to get plaque? Although everyone gets plaque, you may develop more plaque than usual if you consume a lot of sugary or starchy foods or drinks.

Good tooth and gum care is key to reducing plaque.
You should:
Floss daily
Brush twice a day
Choose healthy foods
See your dentist
