As we all know, sugar causes cavities and destroys teeth, but what many don’t realize is that it’s really the interaction of the sugar and bacteria in the mouth that leads to decay. This Halloween, try to limit the candy, and be sure to brush your teeth and floss before bed!

What is hydroxyapatite?
Like fluoride, hydroxyapatite is a naturally-occurring mineral that can be used to strengthen dental enamel. When it comes to remineralization and lesion depth reduction, hydroxyapatite and fluoride are equal. However, many people prefer hydroxyapatite over fluoride because it is oral microbiome friendly, fortifies enamel, is non-toxic and kid-friendly, and whitens teeth. Ask our dental team which option is best for your smile!

Can a sinus infection cause my teeth to hurt?
Toothaches can indicate a serious oral health issue OR they could have nothing to do with your teeth at all. Many toothaches are caused by sinus infections. Your sinuses are a pair of empty cavities that are connected to your nasal cavity. When you have a sinus infection, the tissues in these cavities become inflamed and put pressure on your upper back teeth, causing pain. It can typically be relieved with OTC pain medication.

Do your teeth hurt when you consume hot or cold substances? This is most likely due to tooth (or dental) sensitivity. Sensitive teeth are typically the result of worn-down tooth enamel or exposed tooth roots. Causes of worn enamel and exposed tooth roots include: teeth grinding, drinking too many soft drinks, eating too much sugar, acid reflux, dry mouth, and gum disease. For treatment, our dental team may recommend desensitizing toothpaste, fluoride treatment, dental bonding, or gum graft surgery.

How Dry Mouth Impacts Your Oral Health

Chronic dry mouth, or xerostomia, occurs when the salivary glands do not produce sufficient amounts of saliva. For some, this is temporary, but for others, it can be a constant issue. Left untreated, dry mouth can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, enamel erosion, and dental staining. You can prevent dry mouth by staying hydrated, chewing sugar-free gum, using a humidifier at night, and/or using a saliva substitute. For treatment, contact our friendly dental team today!

Dr. Parkins has never boosted his income by suggesting unnecessary dental work, as other dentists have. Thank you, Dr. & Mrs. Parkins!"
