Ignoring wisdom teeth pain is never a good idea. Problems include pericoronitis (swelling and infection), tooth decay, impaction, and others. Whether or not they're impacted, wisdom teeth are often removed to prevent future problems. If you still have your wisdom teeth, check with us to see if we suggest extraction. It could save you a lot of trouble later on!

One of the most effective ways to remember to brush is by establishing a regular bedtime routine. Having a pattern means that as much as possible, doing the same thing every night. Your routine might be something simple: taking a shower, brushing your teeth, and reading a book. Keep it simple and consistent.

According to the CDC, 1 out of 4 adults have untreated tooth decay, and nearly half of all adults have signs of gum disease. The longer you put off treatment, the more significant the problems become. Don't forget to brush for two minutes twice each day, floss daily, and give us a call to schedule an appointment!

We all want a clean toothbrush! Store your toothbrush upright, not touching other brushes, and in a medicine cabinet or closet away from the open-air (and flushing toilets...yuck!). If you use a toothbrush cover, make sure it has holes to allow moisture to escape or has antibacterial properties.

Do you like salads? Leafy green vegetables are incredibly healthy for both body and teeth. Advantages include folic acid, which helps fight gum disease, calcium which rebuilds enamel, and a texture that makes them ideal for scrubbing teeth while chewing.

When you skip flossing, you miss cleaning up to 40% of the surface of your teeth! Many cavities get their start in areas that a toothbrush simply cannot reach. In addition to brushing for two minutes twice every day, don't forget to floss!

Charcoal toothpaste has become famous for its whitening effects, but unfortunately, it can also be very abrasive. Unless recommended by a dentist, whitening toothpaste should typically be avoided, because it can cause damage to tooth enamel - leading to sensitivity.

How does candy cause cavities? The sugar in candy provides the food that harmful bacteria need to create acids that wear away tooth enamel. STICKY candy and hard candies are more likely to damage teeth because they stay around for a lot longer, hiding in the crevices of your teeth. We like candy as much as you! Just remember to save it for special treats, and don't forget to brush for two minutes, two times every day!

Did you know eggs can make your teeth stronger? Eggs contain phosphorus, vitamin D, and vitamin K, all of which support keeping your tooth enamel strong. Include eggs in your daily meals to make your teeth happier and healthier!

Do you bite or chew your nails? Biting your nails can lead to chipped teeth, damaged enamel, or injuries to sensitive gum tissues. Here are a few ways to help kick the habit-
1) Keep nails short and trimmed.
2) Apply a bitter nail polish
3) Keep hands busy with a stress ball or fidget toy

Is an electric toothbrush better than a conventional one? Research is mixed and some electric brushes are better than others. However, if you have trouble staying motivated to brush, a good way to get excited about brushing is to try an electric toothbrush! Some electric toothbrushes have a built-in two-minute timer and other cool features to make brushing more interesting!

Research shows that if you eat a breakfast that is high in protein, you are less likely to crave sugar later in the day! Yay for Avocado toast!

Brushing hard doesn’t clean teeth any better than brushing softly and only serves to wear down enamel and cause potential damage to sensitive gum tissues. Toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush are all you need, so let them do the hard work!

Did you know that fibrous vegetables like celery and carrots help scrub teeth and freshen breath as you eat them? And the other health benefits of eating vegetables are a bonus!

Did you know that one human mouth contains more bacteria than the number of people on Earth?! All the more reason to keep brushing!

A quick reminder that it may be time for a new toothbrush! Toothbrushes should be replaced around every 3 months or before bristles become frayed. When choosing a toothbrush for your child, be sure to pick one made for smaller hands and with a head size made for smaller mouths. Soft bristles are usually the best choice!

Did you know that raw fibrous and leafy vegetables can help keep teeth clean? Foods such as broccoli, apples, celery, and carrots. Regardless of what you’re eating, don’t forget the best tooth tip: brush two times every day for two minutes!

Surprisingly, there’s no consensus on a correct order for brushing and flossing, although some research suggests that flossing first may be the most efficient way to remove plaque. Whether you prefer to brush and then floss or floss then brush, we want to make sure that our patients are doing both!

Apart from the obvious benefits of good oral health, good dental hygiene also builds confidence and a positive self-image. If it’s time for a check-up, give us a call today!

While sugar-packed chewing gum is terrible for your teeth, did you know that some sugar-free gum can actually help keep teeth healthy? Chewing gum increases saliva, helping balance pH and wash away cavity-causing debris. And chewing gum with xylitol, a natural sugar substitute, has even been shown to prevent cavities.

A fact that may make you think twice before sharing utensils or drinks: Did you know that cavity-causing bacteria can be transferred from one person to another through saliva?

National Dentist's Day is coming up this Sunday! Our patients make caring for teeth the best job in the world!

Who doesn’t love potato chips?! Unfortunately, chips can be as bad for teeth as candy because starchy foods like chips and crackers can easily stick in the tiny grooves of your teeth and provide the sugars that cavity-causing bacteria need to grow. Go ahead and enjoy the occasional snack, just don’t forget to brush twice a day for two minutes!

Whitening toothpaste can often be abrasive and cause sensitive teeth. But did you know that you can whiten your teeth naturally with strawberries? Strawberries contain an enzyme called malic acid, which can make your teeth whiter and brighter!

If you or a family member has been sick lately, it's important to switch out your toothbrush! Airborne illnesses can contaminate toothbrushes, making everyone in the house sick!
