Did you Know...

Did you know toothpicks haven't always been made of wood. In ancient times, people used combination "tooth/ear pickers" made of bone, quills, silver, or gold. These "detiscalpias" were used freely by even the best-mannered citizens.

Braces and Brushing

Many more kids are sporting braces these days than when I was growing up.  I'm pretty sure that my parents would say the same thing about their childhood.  Braces are a great tool for bringing the teeth into ideal alignment.  I've seen increased incidence of cavities when teeth aren't ideally aligned, so I encourage braces.  But, with during the period of wearing braces comes the hassle of increased chance of decalcification of teeth and subsequent cavities.  It is important to brush and floss at home.  I advocate use of an electric brush and air flosser.  Both of these make oral care much easier on children.  I also believe it's important to get to the dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups.  With braces gums get inflamed and teeth harbor food.  If you have concerns about your child's teeth and want to get them in for a dental cleaning, please visit our website listed below or call our office for an appointment.

Cracked Tooth Treatment

Saving teeth is what I do.  But, there are times when I'm forced to decide the fate of teeth due to cracks.  Cracks in teeth can present gradually or all at once.  For example, if a person bites into their steak for dinner and crunches down hard on a bone it is possible a tooth will form a crack.  Gradual formation of a crack can occur in teeth of a grinder or just someone who is rough on their teeth.  As for treatment of a crack it depends on the severity of the crack.  If the crack extends minimally into the tooth or down the side of the tooth I might be able to place a filling or crown the tooth to help hold it together.  If the crack extends too far down the tooth's side or too far into the tooth, I would find it unrestorable and get it out.  That leads into replacement of the tooth which is beyond the scope of this post, but the point I make is that the ability to restore a cracked tooth depends upon the extent of the crack.  If you are concerned about your teeth and oral health, please call our office at the phone below or visit the website at the link below.

Triclosan linked to Cancer

If you have been keeping your ear to the ground lately you likely have read about Colgate toothpaste and the ingredient Triclosan.  Triclosan is used in Colgate toothpaste to combat gum disease.  The Daily Mail came out with an article August 11, 2014 informing people of a Freedom of Information Request that was filed, and finally approved, to find out the truth behind Triclosan and cancer.  

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2722289/Chemical-used-Colgate-Total-toothpaste-linked-cancer.html

Fox News posted this article on August 21, 2014 to try and downplay the divulged information: 

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2014/08/21/setting-record-straight-about-colgate-total-toothpaste/

which defends Colgate's position but trying to calm the "storm" with repeatedly emphasizing safety of Triclosan.

In the end, the FDA and ADA are still on board with Triclosan (as of today's post).  It's important to read the articles for yourself and know the potential any chemical may impose on your body.  Each institution that writes an article on Triclosan or other topic will try and skew you to believe one way or another.  Again, read these linked articles and do more research to find truth for yourself and your family.  At some point I will likely write an article on another topic of growing interest -- Fluoride in our water systems.

Tooth Pain From a Heavy Bite

Lately I've seen a number of patients that seem to have tooth pain related to their bite being "off".  The history of a patient's tooth pain is just as important as the objective testing I do such as taking an x-ray and tapping on the tooth.  The story I usually get is one that includes a history of a filling done within the last 6 months.  I typically test the tooth with cold air, pressure, and checking the bite.  I've found that a tooth that is heavy in occlusion(the bite is high) will lead to a pain in that very tooth or the one opposing it.  If you have issues with your bite or merely have questions about your dental health in general or want a cleaning, please give our office a call or follow the link below to our website to schedule an appointment.

Toothpaste Allergy or Taste Sensitivity to Toothpaste

It's not very common, but sometimes I run across a person who has an allergy to an ingredient in toothpaste. And, sometimes I find people, especially kids, who don't like the flavor of toothpaste.  In the past I know companies have tried cinnamon flavor in toothpaste to remedy that, although cinnamon can cause irritation to gums and cheeks occasionally.  An 'old-time' recipe for toothpaste we recommend at our office is:

1 part baking soda
1 part salt

Mix the 2 together and wet the mixture enough to make it a paste.  This mixture also works well for inflamed gums, but remember is no substitute for visiting your dentist for a checkup.  Flavor is obviously compromised here.  But, You can find flavoring online at Ebay or Amazon, as well as in stores like Michael's that sell cake making products.  This is a way to make toothpaste that is effective and also tastes like pina colada.

Electric Flossers

I've pointed out the importance of flossing in recent blog posts.  Flossing keeps cavities from forming between teeth as we as keeps bone loss and gum inflammation(gingivitis) from occurring.  Some individuals need extra help flossing from lack of ability to clean adequately.  Some people love flossing aides such as Reach's Flosser or Plackers that are very portable.  Electric flossers are used primarily at home in front of your sink.  They use a stream of water to flush debris from between teeth much like a water gun could.  Being either a/c powered or battery powered gives the user the ability to push a button making flossing much easier.  Waterpik is a classic example.  Typically, Waterpiks come with a high pressure and a low pressure tip for the user's preference.  Waterpiks work well under dental bridges or around teeth that have significant bone loss.  If you have any more questions about a Waterpik or about improving your oral health and scheduling a regular checkup, please give us a call or visit our website at the link below.

Partial Dentures

Partial Dentures are an affordable way to replace teeth that you are missing.  This is because whether you are missing 1, 2, or 6 teeth, the price of the partial doesn't change.  By definition a partial denture is a denture that replaces as many teeth as needed right short of a complete denture.  I have made partials for people that replace only 1 tooth, and partials that replace most of a person's teeth.  Partials are custom made to fit your mouth and feel as natural as possible.  If you're interested in getting a partial to replace teeth, have further questions about partials, or need to get a dental checkup, please check out our website at the link below or give us a call.

Tongue-tied and Ankyloglossia

Is your tongue or your child's tongue attached to the floor of their mouth?  Ankyloglossia is a term that explains that a tongue is tongue-tied.  This extra tissue that holds the tongue down tends to affect speech quite a bit.  Sometimes this extra tissue is found connecting the upper lip to the gums above the front 2 teeth.  This causes a separation of the front 2 teeth called a diastema.  A simple procedure called a frenectomy, or frenulectomy, can be done that cuts the extra tissue so that it is not a problem in the future.  Typically it is something insurance pays for as well.  The frenectomy can be done with either a scalpel or a laser.  At my office we have used a laser for this procedure.  There's less pain and healing is easier with a laser.  If you are interested in finding out more about dental health and need more information, please call us or visit our website at the link below.

Dental Insurance

Dental insurance can be both helpful and frustrating to deal with.  Like all insurance dental coverage assists patients in getting work done with less expense to themselves.  It can be frustrating because it differs from medical insurance in the way insurance providers limit reimbursement.  Dental insurance has deductibles to be met, co-pays, and fee schedules just like traditional medical insurance.  There are many different insurance companies out there each with a variety of plan options.  Most dental insurance plans I have seen cover dental cleanings and xrays during a visit. If you have any questions about dental insurance and whether you're covered please visit our website below or call us for more information so we can help you care for your dental health.

Choosing a Toothpaste

There are many choices of toothpaste on the market.  Some claim to whiten, some desensitize, some take care of gingivitis, and some take care of all your dental needs.  I give out samples in my office of several brands.  I have a hard time advocating one toothpaste over another, except for sensitivity protection and personal preference.  What I have found is that some toothpaste works better for certain people than others.  I grew up using Crest toothpaste which does an overall excellent job.  Crest tends to be a bit grittier than Colgate as far as the paste.  Some people advocate Colgate.  I have found Colgate not to be a smoother texture than Crest.  I will say many people who come to see me with sensitivity issues seem to use Colgate Tartar Control toothpaste.  Thus, I tend to ask about Colgate Tartar Control usage when I see sensitivity or at least toothbrush abrasion.  Sensodyne is a great toothpaste for sensitivity.  It comes in different variants but the overall effect is the same.  This concise blog post about toothpaste is just that -- concise.  If you have any more questions about your dental hygiene or are interested in a dental cleaning visit our website at the link below, or call our office.

TMJ Pain / Biteguard Therapy

TMJ pain is horrible for those who have it because it keeps you from enjoying eating and functioning as normal.  the TMJ(temporomandibular joint) is the joint that connects your lower jaw with your skull.  You can experience pain in your TMJ if you have hyper-extended it or overused it.  I have had patients tell me they wake up with pain or tenderness around their jaw joint or muscles in the area.  I have had gum chewers tell me symptoms that have i can link directly to overuse of their jaw.  TMJ can be a complicated issue with some if not total resolve.  Treatment in extreme cases may require surgery, but most of the time biteguard therapy and perhaps some muscle relaxers will do the trick.  If you feel you might have TMJ pain please check out our website for further information or give us a call.

Wisdom Tooth Pain

Wisdom tooth pain can be aggravating to say the least.  Sometimes teething occurs and you have room for them.  Most people I see don't have room for wisdom teeth, so you need them removed.  Generally speaking wisdom teeth are taken out by an oral surgeon, but sometimes general dentists take them out.  Wisdom teeth can start hurting anytime from about age 16 and on.  Some people develop all 4, while others have anywhere from 0-3 develop.  In the end it doesn't matter how many develop as long as they either erupt through the gums, or are taken out.  Wisdom teeth that don't erupt pose a potential for abscess or cyst formation, neither of which sound good.  If you have further questions about wisdom teeth or other dental concerns please link to our website below or give us a call.

Oral Cancer

I see a lot of patients during a work week.  One item i see articles about is making sure clinicians perform a soft tissue check on patients during an oral exam.  This part of the oral exam is a way to stay on top of oral cancer.  It's doesn't prevent oral cancer, but helps identify it hopefully before it becomes a larger issue.  According to the National Institute of Health the incidence of cancer is 10.5 people per 100,000.  While that sounds low, if you are one of the few that develop oral cancer I'm sure you would want to know about it in its infancy.  The best way to find it early is to have regular checkups at your dentist and make sure your dentist is checking out your gums, cheeks, floor of mouth, back of throat, and roof of mouth.  If you look in the mirror one morning and notice something that wasn't there before it's not a bad idea to get it checked out.  It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to oral cancer.  If you have any questions about your oral health or about our office please visit our website at the link below or call our office to come in for a visit.

Zoom Bleaching and Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is very popular.  There are options at your dental office as well as retail stores such as Walmart.  The retail kits can cost upwards of $50 for something that really isn't custom.  The trays sold in retail kits are designed to fit the mouths of 80% of the population.  This means they don't fit well leading to irritated gums and a disgruntled consumer most likely.  The alternatives are offered by a dental office.  Our office offers take-home bleaching trays as well as an in-office method of whitening.  Currently we offer Zoom for bleaching teeth in the office.  The total time for the procedure takes about 1 1/2 hours.  The results vary by patient, but overall have been very successful.  Take-home trays are another option for whitening your teeth.  Bleaching with trays is done daily over a period of a week.  This option appeals to individuals that want white teeth but are more budget conscious.  If you desire to have whiter teeth or are due for a dental checkup please visit our website at the link below or give us a call.

Electric ToothBrushes

As I have posted in other blogs, it is important to brush and floss to keep cavities and bone loss from running rampant.  Several companies make electric toothbrushes including Oralb and Sonicare.  Price on these brushes range from $6-$200+.  You may ask what the difference is and will get different answers.  I believe the $6 spinbrushes that you see on the shelf at walmart are a good starter brush.  Those who aren't sure whether an electric brush will be any better than a manual brush should start there.  After experimenting with that brush you can step up to a better electric brush with more 'bells and whistles'.  The more expensive toothbrushes track your time spent on brushing, and have different brushing modes.  If you have further questions about electric toothbrushes call our office or visit our website at the link below.

Better Home Care

Better home care refers to better brushing and more effective flossing.  I consistently see individuals who are collecting plaque and calculus behind their lower front teeth.  The importance of brushing well is important for long-term tooth and gum health.  Keeping debris off your teeth will help keep cavities from forming.  Keeping debris away from your gums will keep inflammation and subsequent gum recession from occurring.  It's important to use a good toothbrush and floss.  I typically recommend a soft bristle brush and good sturdy floss.  Some people have a hard time getting things cleaned adequately, possibly due to extra space between teeth or decreased dexterity.  For those people I commonly recommend electric brushes or electric flossers.  In my up-coming posts I will be talking more about electric brushes and flossers available on the market.  If you have more questions about improving your oral care, please call our office or visit our website by clicking on the hyperlink below.

Flossing

Flossing is something you'll hear from your dentist and hygienist that you need to do more of.  Floss comes in several shapes and sizes.  The important thing is to floss regularly.  Some studies are showing that a Waterpik can replace the use of floss.  Whether using a Waterpik or traditional floss, the idea is to remove debris from between teeth.  The longer debris remains interproximal the more damage and inflammation it causes the bone and gum(periodontitis and gingivitis).  I recommend flossing daily.  Some patients complain that they can't get their hands all the way back to the back teeth.  We have tested methods and tools to help you get the task done.  If you have further questions about flossing technique, types of floss, or just need a regular dentist please give us a call or visit our website for more information.

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and Bridges are restorations done to teeth that need something more than a filling to hold things together.  That 'in a nutshell' is the answer.  A crown covers the tooth like a hat around your head holding your hair against your head on the top and sides.  A crown costs more than a filling because of the added laboratory costs associated with fabrication.  But, hopefully a crown last longer than a typical filling as well.  Typically crowns are reserved for when teeth no longer are going to be a stable platform for daily function with large fillings.  Sometimes patients want crowns for aesthetic reasons so that their teeth won't ever discolor.  Bridges, by definition, are 2 or more crowns tied together.  The most common bridge is a 3-unit bridge.  That type of bridge replaces 1 missing tooth by being attached to the tooth in front and in back of the space.  A bridge accomplishes re-establishment of function in that space, holding the teeth from shifting, and helps with esthetics and phonetics.  If you think you may need a crown or a bridge, or have other concerns about your dental health, please call us or check out our website for more information at the link below.

Tooth Pain

Tooth Pain varies from mild irritation only when stimulated by cold or sweets, to crippling due to an dental abscess.  I have found some people can sense the smallest of cavities coming on while others won't every feel pain with a tooth even when the tooth is to the point of being broken off at the gumline.  Sometimes people will have pain in their teeth when the weather is changing associated with sinuses.  Wisdom teeth erupting can cause quite a bit of discomfort.  After all this information I will sum it up to say the sooner you treat it, the better and easier the outcome.  If you think you have a cavity, or just need a regular checkup please call our office or visit our website below for more information.

Regular Checkups

New patients are a toss-up.  Sometimes they are quite regular with getting cleanings.  Sometimes they haven't been in years due to a bad experience or maybe getting out of the routine.  It is important to get regular checkups because cavities, gingivitis, and bone loss all develop over time, but sometimes faster than other times.  We see patients either on 3, 4, or 6 month intervals and is dependent on a number of factors.  Those factors could be dry mouth(which leads to cavities), gum loss, bone loss, ability to care for their teeth, and other factors.  Whether young or old, rich or poor, lots of teeth or few teeth, it's important to stay regular.  If you need a checkup and cleaning give us a call or visit our website for more information.

Veneers

Veneers are essentially facings on teeth.  Veneers are thin porcelain that is made to fit a tooth perfectly and give the patient a 'new look' or a 'new smile'.  Sometimes veneers are done to fix teeth that are chipped.  Because of the area of the teeth that is chipped the patient may not be a good candidate for a simple composite white filling.  The other reason patients as for veneers is because of the desire to have white teeth or straight teeth, but not spend the time to get braces.  This is a simple rundown of veneers.  I could go into more information, but i will spare readers the nuances.  If you have questions about veneers or any other questions about your overall dental health, please call our office or visit our website at the link below to find out more information.

Dry Mouth

Sometimes i have patients who are concerned about dry mouth.  Dry mouth is a symptom of a lack from saliva production.  It is most commonly associated with taking some medications.  After talking to your physician, you might be able to switch to another medication if you think the current medication you are taking is causing your dry mouth.  Lack of salivary flow also can be generally associated with aging.  Regardless of the cause of dry mouth it can be devastating to the teeth because it allows for rampant cavity production.  The best defense against that is good oral care at home and a regular visit with your dentist.  If you need a regular checkup, give us a call or check out our website for more information.

Canker Sores (Apthous Ulcers)

Once in a while i get a question about Canker Sores, otherwise known as apthous ulcers.  Some are simple, where others are complex.  Both types hurt and can make talking and chewing uncomfortable.  The root cause of canker sores is unknown, but i believe it's likely viral in nature much like fever blisters are.  Fever blisters occur on the lip's border whereas canker sores always occur on mucosal tissue in a person's mouth.  Canker sores appear on non-bound tissue such has floor of mouth, cheek, and vestibule.  There isn't a solution that works all the time.  Mostly, it's a waiting game for the canker sore(s) to run their course.  I've even tried using a laser to create a cover over the sore, but it doesn't work every time.  It's believed that they appear after stress, eating acidic foods, or having a deficiency in B12, iron, or folic acid.  If you have more questions about canker sores or your overall dental health please visit our website at the link below or give us a call to schedule an appointment.

Teeth Grinding and Biteguard Therapy

I have many patients who grind their teeth, so i get asked routinely about options to fix this problem.  For some, it's as easy as making a biteguard that one sleeps in to prevent further trouble from occurring.  For others it might involve muscle relaxers, or finding the root cause of their worries.  Sometimes it can be a tooth or sinus issue.  I typically ask a series of questions when patients come in and work with them to find the appropriate solution.  Broken teeth are often a sign that you may grind your teeth.  If you grind or clench your teeth, or just need a regular checkup, give us a call or visit our website for more information.
