Another Tooth Fact of the Day!

The first toothpaste was made in ancient Egypt around 5000 BC and was found to be made from mixtures of crushed eggshells, pumice, herbs, and ox hooves ashes that was used to clean teeth. The Greeks and Romans also made toothpaste, but their versions were more abrasive and often contained ingredients like crushed bones and oyster shells.

In the 19th century, toothpaste began to be mass-produced and sold in jars. The first toothpaste sold in a tube was called Colgate Ribbon Dental Cream, which was introduced in 1896 (check out the image below to see how it looked like!). It was the first toothpaste to contain fluoride, which is now a common ingredient in toothpaste.

Today, toothpaste comes in a variety of flavors and formulations, and many brands contain ingredients like baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and essential oils. Toothpaste is an important part of oral hygiene, as it helps to remove plaque and prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

A quick Fun Teeth Fact of the Day!

Did you know that sharks have evolved a fascinating trait that have allowed them to remain at the top of the oceanic food chain? Sharks are constantly shedding and replacing their teeth so that they are always equipped with sharp and efficient tools to catch their pray. Many species of shark have over 20,000 teeth over their entire lifetime! 🦷👀

No more uncomfortable, mouth-stretching impressions!

We are excited to add the 3Shape Trios4 Intraoral Scanner to our lineup of equipment!

This amazing appliance gives us 3D scans of your teeth, which can assist with creating 3D impressions for major dental work (crowns, implants, orthodontics), cavity detection, shade matching, early identification of dental conditions, and more. There is no harmful radiation emitted during the scanning process thus making it safer for the patients.

Compared to traditional physical impressions, digital scanning is faster and more comfortable for both the patient and dentist. It is a great solution for children and patients with a strong gag reflex who cannot tolerate traditional impressions. Due to the incredible accuracy of the digital impressions, fewer lab remakes are usually needed. We can also design a possible treatment outcome, based on a scan and a photo of your face. This design can be shared with you, and you can even show a photorealistic design to your family and friends!

Drills, Needles, and pain, oh my!

For many people, going to a dentist is an unpleasant but manageable experience. For others, just a thought of going to the dentist causes severe anxiety, leading them to delay or avoid dental treatment. Unfortunately, this behavior can spiral into a vicious cycle of dental pain, health problems, worse anxiety, and more complex and costly dental procedures.

Nitrous oxide, more commonly known as laughing gas, reduces a pain and anxiety safely and effectively. A small mask fits over your nose, and delivers an odorless mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. Patient relaxes within minutes without losing control over the body functions. The effects of this type of sedation are reversible by giving oxygen at the end of procedure.

Talk with our office and explain what makes you nervous. A doctor will do a careful review of your medical history in order to make safe recommendations.

Loose baby tooth? It's time for the tooth fairy!

Starting at around age 6 and until age 12-13, children lose 20 baby teeth which get replaced by stronger permanent teeth. Some children who have their first loose tooth are excited to get a gift from the tooth fairy, whereas others worry about pain.
A loose tooth may cause localized discomfort, primarily with eating. If this is the case for your child, avoid hard, crunchy foods and encourage them to chew with the other side.
Bleeding is normal after your child loses their tooth. Use gauze to wipe the gums and clean the area. A warm saltwater rinse also helps, although it may be a little uncomfortable. If your child experiences pain or inflammation after the tooth falls out, you can use a topical anesthetic or an anti-inflammatory.
As always, maintaining a good relationship with your child’s dentist is very important to help your child be comfortable at the dentist’s office and to reinforce good, lifelong dental habits.
