Brushing and flossing regularly can stop plaque from building up on your teeth, but sometimes you miss a bit of plaque and it hardens into tartar. Left untreated, tartar buildup can damage the connective tissue between the teeth and bone — leading to gum recession, gum disease, and eventual tooth loss. Only a dental hygienist can remove tartar with special tools.

Dental restorations come in many shapes and sizes to repair decayed or fractured teeth. Fillings are used to repair smaller areas of decay while larger areas may be addressed with an inlay or an onlay. Crowns are used when there is a large amount of decay or fractures. If the tooth cannot be saved then an implant-retained crown may be used.

Children’s baby teeth are very important. They help children speak, chew, and smile. They also hold space for their adult teeth that are still growing. If a baby tooth is lost too soon, it can affect the alignment of the adult teeth later. That’s why babies should go for their first dental exam after they get their first tooth.

The Oral Cancer Foundation says 30% of all tooth decay in adults is caused by dry mouth. Here are some products that can help with dry mouth …

MOUTHWASH: Rinsing for 30 seconds with a mouthwash formulated for dry mouth can provide soothing moisture for up to four hours. You can use these alcohol-free mouthwashes up to five times daily to ease dryness.

LOZENGES: Dry mouth lozenges are easily popped anytime your mouth feels dry. Many contain a natural sweetener called xylitol, which helps stimulate salvia. Look for these in the diabetic section of the drugstore.

SPRAY: Dry mouth sprays are spritzed directly into your mouth for immediate hydration.

GEL: Dry mouth gels are applied directly to your tongue so you can spread the gel throughout your mouth to lubricate it.

DISCS: Dry mouth discs stick to your teeth or gums to keep your mouth hydrated. They slowly release xylitol, to increase saliva flow, and can even be worn overnight.

To soothe your teething baby, gently rub their gums with a clean finger, cold spoon, or a moist gauze pad. Avoid using numbing gels as they may be hazardous to your baby's health. Letting your baby chew on a solid rubber soother can help to ease their pain as well. Call us with any questions or to arrange your baby’s first dental visit by the age of 1 (or within 6 months of their first tooth).

We love treating kids at Safavi Dental Clinic! We try to make every visit as positive as possible and involve children and parents in their oral health. That includes demonstrating proper brushing and flossing techniques and evaluating and discussing risk factors for tooth decay or other oral health issues.

In addition to educating patients and removing stains and plaque from the teeth, a children's dental exam may involve X-rays, sealants, fluoride treatment, pre-orthodontic evaluations, or restorations. Book an appointment for your child today! (905) 839-0931
