Fun Fact! The alignment between our neck, face, and oral muscles can modify our spinal curvature and dictate whether we have an appropriately straight posture or a hunched one. So, a link between teeth, occlusion, and posture can't be ignored. https://bit.ly/49yBvkm

Although dentures are excellent appliances to replace missing teeth and revitalize your smile, there is the potential for them to create different dental problems if you don’t take care of them. Denture odor is one of the problems that can arise from a lack of proper dental maintenance. Food particles stuck in your teeth, wearing your dentures all the time, and a lack of proper cleaning are the most common reasons why denture odor would occur. If you have questions regarding how to care for your dental appliances, give us a call at (734) 426-2220.

Your mouth is home to millions of different bacteria and while brushing and flossing your teeth is a great way to keep your mouth clean, it doesn’t remove the bacteria from your tongue. This bacterium produces sulfur compounds that lead to bad breath and other health issues. Use a tongue scraper or a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush your tongue. After cleaning, be sure to rinse with mouthwash and thoroughly rinse your toothbrush with water. You’ll know your tongue is fresh and clean when all the discolored debris disappears and you’re left with a clean pink tongue! Contact us at (734) 426-2220 to schedule your bi-annual appointment!
