Progression of a cavity and why it may not bother you:

Remember, the farther into the tooth a cavity progresses..the more painful it becomes! The goal is to find and treat the cavity at an early stage!

Toothpastes are rated according to abrasivity level (or RDA). If a toothpaste is abrasive, it can be too rough for our enamel and gum tissue (whitening toothpastes are notorious for being very abrasive). It is best to use a toothpaste rated low in abrasivity. Below is a chart listing the abrasiveness level of popular toothpastes. How does your toothpaste measure up? Do any toothpastes have a RDA level that surprises you?

Why should you floss your teeth every day? 🦷

In addition to removing pieces of food stuck between your teeth, flossing can:
• Stimulate the gums
• Reduce plaque
• Help lower inflammation in the area

Flossing just once a day is usually enough to reap these benefits!

A cavity may be much larger than what we can see with the naked eye. For this reason is it crucial to stay up-to-date with checkup xrays and address problems as they arise!
Once a cavity has formed, it continues to grow! Take care of it before it has a chance to reach the nerve and cause you pain.

Picture on the left shows what we can see when looking in the mouth, while picture on the right shows the cavity and how large it actually is!

Abfraction??

What is it? You may hear us talk about an abfraction while sitting in our chair. An abfraction is often caused by grinding, clenching, or a misaligned bite. It is defined as the loss of tooth structure at the gumline, usually presenting as a small, V-shaped notch or groove. We will often refer to them as "ditches".

The blue arrows are pointing to abfraction lesions.

Gum chewer?

Did you know that some gum brands are better than others?

Chewing sugar-free gum with xylitol (a natural sugar alcohol) helps prevent cavities by starving decay-causing bacteria and stimulating saliva flow. Examples include: trident and orbit.

Be sure to check the ingredients and choose one without sugar and with xylitol the next time you go to buy a pack of chewing gum!

Do you chew on a specific side? Pay attention next time you sit down to eat a meal. Chewing only on one side could have a traumatic effect on your teeth, jaw muscles, or your TMJ!
