Do you suffer from headaches or persistent jaw pain? The cause could be a number of problems with your teeth. If your doctor's remedies aren't working, schedule a visit with your dentist for a diagnosis (and have a teeth cleaning while you're there).

When brushing your teeth, remember to brush your tongue as well. Neglecting tongue hygiene often leads to bad breath and other oral health issues because the tongue's rough surface makes it easy for bacteria to thrive.

If you have been ill with a cold, the flu, or any bacterial or viral infection, you should replace your toothbrush once the sickness has been diagnosed, and as soon as you have recovered, even if it has only been a few days. Germs can linger and transfer, creating additional medical problems.

What should I expect with nitrous oxide? The gas is often administered through a mask that covers up the nose. You will not go to sleep and you will be able to hear and answer any questions from the dentist. But you will also feel completely relaxed.

A root canal is a procedure that removes an infection from inside your tooth. This infection can cause inflammation and immense pain. If left untreated, dental infections may even result in tooth loss.

In the past, animal hairs were used as bristles for toothbrushes. These however, tended to harbor bacteria and kept falling off the toothbrush heads. So, in 1938, a company remedied this situation by manufacturing a more effective toothbrush that had nylon bristles.

Enamel is the outermost layer of your teeth. While it is mainly responsible for protecting your teeth, it is partly responsible for imparting their white color too. So, if your teeth have started appearing yellow, it may indicate decaying enamel.
