The following are a few things you must do to protect your teeth ๐Ÿฆท:

โœ…Your food choices matter- To keep your teeth strong and healthy, you need to reduce the consumption of sugary and acidic foods.
โœ…Fluoride helps- According to the American Dental Association (ADA), fluoride is a natural cavity fighter because it helps fortify the enamel and can effectively curb the initial stages of tooth decay.
Fluoride also makes your teeth less vulnerable to acids produced by the bacteria in the mouth.
โœ…Protect against dry mouth- Saliva is essential for cleaning the mouth of food debris and bacteria that can cause cavities. It also neutralizes the effects of acid. Water is necessary to keep your mouth thoroughly moist and clean.
โœ…Avoid Teeth Grinding (bruxism)- This activity typically happens while sleeping. A sufferer will grind or clench the upper and lower teeth against each other. With time, teeth grinding degrades the enamel and weakens the tooth.
โœ…Regular checkups are important- To keep your teeth healthy and strong, it is vital to visit the dentist every six months for a routine checkup and deep cleaning.

The dentist will be able to diagnose issues in the teeth before they cause significant damage.- Call us today and schedule your appointment with us!

Going to the movies is a fun experience whether you're with your family or on a date. While you may be focused on what movie you're going to see, it's also important to focus on how the movies can damage your teeth.๐Ÿฆท

๐ŸฟBe Careful with Popcorn: Popcorn has a reputation among dentists as being a bit of a foe to smiles. Partially popped kernels can crack a tooth.

๐ŸฌBalance the Sweets: If popcorn is the king of movie snacks then candy and soda are its royal family. If you like to drink a soda with your popcorn, maybe skip the candy and vice versa. Moderation is important.

๐ŸšฐDrink Water: If you're having popcorn, you'll need something to wash it down. Many people go for a refreshing soda, but soda is one of the worst drinks for your teeth.

A gum abscess can cause persistent pain in the affected area. You might also notice swelling and redness.

Keep in mind gum abscesses will not completely heal on their own. Treatment involves draining and removing any debris from your periodontal pocket and some deep cleaning. Draining the abscess is necessary to prevent complications.

Does sugar cause cavities?

Sugar itself is not the problem. Rather, the bacteria that eats the sugar. These bacteria generate an acid compound that promotes tooth decomposition.

We recommend rinsing and brushing after meals to reduce acid and plaque buildup.

Thereโ€™s no need to forego a glass of red wine just to avoid tooth discoloration.

One of the easiest things to do is to brush your teeth before you start to enjoy that very first glass. This helps remove any plaque from your teeth that can attract stains.

Also, remember to sip on water between drinks to better remove any stain-causing particles from tooth surfaces.

Many people lack the proper brushing technique, and as a result, oral health is jeopardized and could lead to damaging the teeth and gum tissues.

Here are some brushing tips to avoid putting your oral health at risk:

1)Make sure you brush your entire mouth and not just your teeth
2) Brush your teeth for at least two minutes
3) Do not brush with a worn-out toothbrush
4)Brush your teeth in a soft circular motion and hold the toothbrush in a 45 degree angle to remove excess debris.
