Did you know that sealants can last up to a decade with proper care and regular dental check-ups? Though they can last long, they are not permanent and can break down due to normal chewing or diet.

Their longevity depends on factors such as the quality of application, oral hygiene, diet, and habits like teeth grinding.

This is why regular dental visits are key! 🦷\

Keep your smile HEALTHY!😃

Although regular dental visits are encouraged for cleanings and check-ups, the foundation of dental care lies in at-home practices.

Our recommendations for maintaining oral health include:
🦷 Thorough brushing with fluoride toothpaste
🦷 Daily flossing
🦷 Minimizing snacks between meals
🦷 Consuming a balanced diet low in sugars and acids
🦷 Using fluoride-containing products like mouthwashes
🦷 Ensuring children under 12 receive fluoridated water or supplements as advised by their dental professionals

Whether flossing before or after brushing is chosen depends on personal preference, though research often supports flossing before brushing.

Either way, daily flossing is crucial for oral health, aiding in the prevention of tooth decay, plaque buildup, and gum disease.

Incorporating both practices into your daily routine fosters better oral hygiene, leading to a cleaner mouth, fresher breath, and improved overall dental health.🦷

Happy birthday, Charlene! We're all wishing you the best year yet!🎉

The life of a dental crown depends on factors like the material used, its placement, and your oral hygiene routine.

Typically, these crowns can last 5 to 15 years, but diligent maintenance can extend their lifespan to 25 years or more!

For optimal oral health, effective flossing is crucial, regardless of when you choose to do it.

Here are some tips to ensure you're flossing correctly and efficiently, helping to remove plaque and food debris from between your teeth and along the gumline.

The reversibility of bruxism damage depends on its severity. Minor wear can often be managed with regular dental care and preventive measures like sealants or mouthguards, while severe damage may require extensive dental procedures.

Although severe cases are typically irreversible, treatments such as orthodontics and custom night guards can help in preventing further damage and maintaining oral health.🦷

Don’t forget to book your regular check-up!

Routine dental check-ups are crucial for optimal oral health, as dentists not only clean teeth but also identify early signs of oral issues.

These examinations encompass a thorough assessment of teeth, gums, tongue, and other oral structures to detect diseases in their early stages.

Professional teeth cleaning during these check-ups targets tartar buildup beyond what regular brushing can address.

Crowns and bridges play a strong role in restoring and improving damaged teeth or replacing missing ones.

A dental crown offers versatile support by completely encasing a compromised tooth.

In addition to reinforcing its structure, it can enhance the tooth's aesthetics, shape, and alignment.🦷

Fear and apprehension surrounding dental procedures typically arises from multiple factors, such as fear of discomfort, previous negative encounters, embarrassment, or a sense of helplessness.

Acknowledging and understanding these feelings is the initial stride toward conquering dental anxiety.

A dental bridge, a prosthetic solution for missing teeth, consists of two crowns flanking a false tooth, called a pontic, bridging the gap between them.

🦷 Traditional bridge: features crowns on both abutment teeth with a pontic between them.

🦷 Cantilever bridge: involves placing a crown on just one abutment tooth with a pontic attached to it.

🦷 Maryland bonded bridge: employs metal wings bonded to adjacent teeth to support the pontic.
