A digital x-ray is safer, much quicker, and shows more detail than its film predecessor. Digital x-rays are a crucial diagnostic tool that helps us better understand the inner workings of your mouth and, more specifically, the teeth, roots, and alveolar bone.

Brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can damage tooth enamel and the gums. The effects of this may include tooth sensitivity, permanent damage to the protective enamel on the teeth, and gum erosion!

Remember not to forget to brush your teeth before bed! It’s no secret that the general recommendation is to brush at least twice a day. Still, many of us continue to neglect brushing our teeth at night. But brushing before bed gets rid of the germs and plaque that accumulate throughout the day.

During your regular check up, we will clean your teeth and remove plaque and hardened tartar. Call us today to schedule your next visit.

Consuming sugar can lead to cavities. Remember, everything in moderation and make sure to brush your teeth after you have a little treat!

Some studies indicate that certain mouthwashes can benefit oral health. We can help you choose the best mouthwash for your individual needs. A mouthwash cannot substitute brushing and flossing, but it can complement these practices!

Your tooth has three layers: enamel, dentin and pulp! Protect your enamel, and overall tooth, by reducing the number of acidic foods you are consuming!

Be sure to position your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle toward the gumline to get the hard to reach bacteria that may be trapped between your teeth and gums. For more healthy dental habits, contact us today!
