Associations and accreditations
Oral Hygiene
Good oral hygiene is essential for keeping your teeth healthy. Brushing twice daily, flossing once a day, and using an anti-bacterial mouthwash can help prevent the buildup of plaque and bacteria in the mouth. Learn more about proper oral hygiene to keep your smile healthy for years to come.
Children's Oral Health
It is especially important for children to practice good oral health habits from a young age. Encourage your child to brush and floss their teeth twice a day, and visit the dentist regularly. Introducing your child to good oral hygiene habits early on in life can set them up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
aging
As we age, our oral health needs change. Seniors may need to visit the dentist more often for check-ups and preventive care. It is also important to be aware of any changes in saliva flow and dry mouth, which can increase the risk of developing dental problems. Discussing your changing needs with a dentist can help ensure that your teeth and gums stay healthy for years to come.
dry mouth
Dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, is a common condition that can affect your oral health. In addition to making it difficult to chew and swallow food, dry mouth can make it easier for bacteria to accumulate in the mouth, leading to dental problems such as cavities and tooth decay. If you experience dry mouth for longer than two weeks, it is important to talk to your dentist.
nutrition
The foods and beverages you consume can have a major impact on your oral health. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can help keep your teeth strong and healthy. Limiting sugary snacks, acidic drinks, and other damaging foods can also reduce your risk for cavities and other dental problems.
Tobacco
Tobacco use of any kind can have a negative impact on your oral health. Smoking and chewing tobacco are known to increase the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and other dental problems. Quitting smoking or using other forms of tobacco is one of the best things you can do for your overall health, as well as your oral health.
allergies
When visiting the dentist, it is important to let your dental care provider know about any allergies or sensitivities you may have. You should also inform them of any medications that you are taking, as some can have an effect on your oral health. An allergist can also help identify and manage any potential issues with certain products used in dentistry.
anxiety
Dental anxiety is a very real problem for many people, and it can make trips to the dentist seem like an overwhelming experience. If you suffer from dental anxiety, talk to your dentist about ways to ease your fears. From sedation dentistry to distraction techniques, there are many options available to help you feel more comfortable during your appointment.
Teenage Hygiene
Teenagers should be particularly aware of their oral health, as this is the time when the adult teeth are coming in and it is essential to establish good oral hygiene habits. Encourage your teen to brush twice a day and floss once a day, and visit the dentist regularly for check-ups and preventive care. Taking care of your teen’s teeth now can help set them up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
erosion
Tooth enamel acid erosion is a condition that can occur when the protective layer of your teeth starts to wear away. It is often caused by consuming large amounts of acidic foods and drinks, such as sodas and citrus fruits. To prevent tooth enamel acid erosion, it is important to limit these types of foods, drink plenty of water, and visit your dentist for regular check-ups. Your dentist can also provide other tips to help protect your teeth from acid erosion.
oral cancer
Oral cancer is a serious disease that can affect the mouth, tongue, and throat. It is important to be aware of any changes in your oral health, such as sores or lumps in the mouth, difficulty swallowing, or persistent pain. If you have any of these symptoms it is important to seek medical attention from a dentist or primary care physician right away.
