Teeth and Gum Care Tips

These are some basic tips for caring for teeth and gums:
-Brush your teeth regularly. Brush at least twice a day and preferably 30-60 minutes after every meal and snack.
-Use a fluoride-containing toothpaste.
-Floss at least once a day.
-Use a mouth rinse daily.
-Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings -- typically twice a year.
-Eat a variety of foods to maintain overall health. Eat fewer foods containing sugars and starches between meals. If you must snack, choose nutritious foods, such as cheese, raw vegetables, plain yogurt, or a firm fruit (such as an apple).

*Tooth Extraction*

Gum disease can loosen or severely damage a tooth. A tooth that is severely damaged may need to be removed.
Before removing your tooth, your dentist will give you a local anesthetic to numb the area where the tooth will be removed.
You can gently bite down on a cotton gauze pad placed over the wound to help stop the bleeding. The removed tooth can be replaced with an implant, a denture, or a bridge. A bridgecamera.gif is a replacement for one or more (but not all) of the teeth and may be permanent or removable.

*What To Expect After Surgery*

In most cases, the recovery period lasts only a few days. The following will help speed recovery:

-Take painkillers as prescribed by your dentist or oral surgeon. Apply an ice or cold pack to the outside of your mouth to help relieve pain and swelling.
-After 24 hours, rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water several times a day to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Make your own salt water by mixing 1 tsp (5 g) of salt in a medium-sized glass [8 fl oz (240 mL)] of warm water.
-Change gauze pads before they become soaked with blood.
-Relax after surgery. Physical activity may increase bleeding.
-Avoid smoking.
-Eat soft foods, such as gelatin, pudding, or a thin soup. Gradually add solid foods to your diet as healing progresses.
-Do not lie flat. This may prolong bleeding. Prop up your head with pillows.
-Avoid rubbing the area with your tongue.
-Do not use sucking motions, such as when using a straw to drink.
-Continue to carefully brush your teeth and tongue.
