Prevention
“Brush and floss. Avoid too many snacks. See your dentist regularly.”
How many times have you heard that? Now there are even more reasons to heed that advice. Taking good care of your teeth and gums isn’t just about preventing cavities or bad breath.
The mouth is a window into the health of the body. It can show signs of nutritional deficiencies or general infection. Systemic diseases – those that affect the entire body such as diabetes, AIDS and Sjogren’s syndrome – may first become apparent because of mouth lesions or other oral problems.
The mouth is filled with countless bacteria, some linked to tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease. Use the menu to the left to find out more information about the services that we offer, and contact us to schedule a consultation. Maybe a life-changing smile is in your future.
Flossing
Regular brushing will not clean the area of your teeth below the gums…this leads to tooth root decay and eventually tooth loss. It will also lead to gum and periodontal disease and loss of bone density that holds your teeth in place.
Brushing
Regular brushing twice a day and flossing is a great way to maintain good oral health care. Poor brushing and flossing techniques are sure to lead to tooth and root decay and eventually tooth loss. It will also lead to gum and periodontal disease and loss of bone density that holds your teeth in place.
Diet & Nutrition
How is your diet? Do you eat a balanced diet? Are you getting the right amount of the four food groups to keep your body healthy? Do you drink lots of water?
Fluoride
We are seeing more patients with cavities now than we have in quite some time? Since communities started fluorinating their water, plus bottled water products containing fluroride, fluoride toothpaste and mouthwashes have all helped to keep the onset of cavities down.
Sensitive Teeth
If a taste of ice cream or a sip of coffee is sometimes painful or if brushing and flossing makes you wince occasionally you may have a common problem called “sensitive teeth”.
