Most people bite their cheek occasionally in moments of inattention. That’s nothing to worry about. However, some patients find themselves biting their cheek accidentally a lot more often. This may indicate a more deeply-rooted problem such as a misalignment of teeth, TMD or simply a nervous habit. We can help align teeth, or adjust dentures or bridges, to prevent frequent cheek-biting and improve your bite. Be sure to let us know if this is a concern at your next dental visit.

One simple way to check if you’ve done a good job brushing and flossing is the tongue test! Run your tongue across the surface of your teeth, especially at the gum line. If you find any areas that don’t feel smooth and slick, you may need to give those areas some extra attention!

Here's a fun groundhog's day fact! A groundhog's teeth never stop growing. They grow about 1/16 of an inch per week. Groundhogs wear down their teeth through constant usage. This helps to prevent any issues from arising.

For most people, removing your dentures before you go to sleep is the healthiest option. It reduces your risk of plaque buildup, infections and irritations and gives your gums and bones a chance to relax. Studies have shown that removing your dentures at night also reduces the risk of aspiration pneumonia. When you remove your dentures be sure to clean them gently and leave them to soak in water or a soaking solution. Give your mouth a clean before you put your dentures back in.

You may have been instructed to wear your dentures overnight to help with sleep apnea. If that’s the case, be sure to remove your dentures for 5-6 hours during the day to give your mouth a break.

When a tooth is missing, the bone surrounding the tooth can be lost. Bone loss can change the appearance of the face to give the mouth a “sunken” look.

Dental implants are a popular replacement for missing teeth, but they also have another benefit: they can prevent bone loss. The implant stimulates the surrounding bone, keeping it strong and healthy. For best results, the implant should be placed as soon as possible after losing a tooth. Call us to learn more.
