On average, it takes dental plaque about 4-12 hours to form on the surface of your teeth after its removal. In addition to making your teeth look and feel dirty, dental plaque has been found to contain about 1,000 different types of bacteria that can cause tooth decay and gum disease. This is why it is so important to brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily.

Wellness Wednesday:
Avoid using your teeth.

Don’t use your teeth as tools! Avoid using your teeth for anything other than chewing food. Using your teeth to crack nuts, open bottle tops, or rip open packaging puts you at risk for chipping or breakage.

🔸How Sick Are You?

Since you’re quite possibly on the hook for a cancellation fee, your instinct is probably to go. While other issues will impact your decision, the first thing to decide is how sick you are. Something like a typical headache isn’t contagious and your ability to sit through a dental appointment is a matter of pain tolerance.

But migraine headaches can be a very different story. If you suffer from migraines regularly, you’re the best judge of whether you should go or not. But migraine or not, you should decide the severity of the headache, and if it’s not too bad, you should go. You can avoid the cost of a cancellation. Plus, you don’t have to wait until the dentist can reschedule the appointment.

🔸Are You Contagious?

Contagious illnesses are a different story. When you are sick and could pass along your illness to others, you should think about how your choice impacts them. Obviously though, you might not know if you’re contagious. So, you should make an educated guess based on your symptoms. Especially keeping in mind the latest know symptoms of COVID-19.

Are you coughing or sneezing? You might have a common cold, a virus, or maybe even the flu. You don’t want to infect others. If you’re not currently coughing or sneezing but have done so over the past few days, you might still have a contagious illness, since you can spread the flu to others for a full week.

When you’re contagious, your best bet is to contact us at ☎️ 861-4549.
