WHAT IS A CAVITY?

A cavity is a lesion on a tooth where it has demineralized/softened due to acid created by bacteria that snack on sugary foods🍭🥞🍩

Cavities are identified when a sharp instrument detects a sticky spot on the tooth 🔍. Cavities in between the teeth can only be detected using bitewing x-rays 📍

How do we treat them? With "fillings"! Stay tuned for our future post about the steps of filling! 👀

❓FAQ❓ : Do I really need to straighten my teeth? If I don't mind how they look, does it matter?

Patients often think that orthodontic treatment or Invisalign is purely for aesthetics. The truth is, aligning your teeth is so much more than that. Some of the amazing benefits include:

☑️ Easier oral hygiene and flossing
☑️ Reduced jaw pain, migraines, tension
☑️ Less damage to teeth from accidents
☑️ Better chewing
☑️ More confidence!

FAQ: How often should I visit my dentist? 🤔

The truth is, the answer is different for everyone. We determine how frequently one should visit is by evaluating your oral health including your gum health, history of cavities, habits (like grinding) and hygiene habits at
home 🦷🪥

If we start seeing improvements, we may recommend less frequent visits!

Healthy ways you can reduce your visits to the dentist include:

🦷 Flossing regularly (duh!)
🚭 Avoiding smoking (healthier gums)
🍭 Low sugar diet (less cavities)
😁 Wearing a nightguard (preventing broken teeth)

Some of our goals for the new year include:
💫 Serving more patients
💫 Starting more Invisalign journeys
💫 Growing our team
💫 Expanding our services
💫 More continuing education to care for you all better

What's one of your goals for the new year?

Does the dental office make you anxious?

At Beechwood Dental we offer nitrous oxide sedation, better known as "laughing gas" 💨

Nitrous is safe for anxious patients of all ages and because of its short-lasting effects, it's even safe to drive yourself home after! 🚗

Fun fact: laughing 😂 is actually a sign of overdosing of nitrous oxide. At an optimal level, you should feel relaxed and your arms and legs may feel a little heavy.

💭 Keep in mind, you should not drink or eat anything 3 hours prior to your procedure for the best effect.
