"Family Feel" Dentistry - by Larry L.

It was my first time as a patient with Dr. Rivera, and I was thoroughly impressed. Everything was great, from scheduling an appointment to verifying my insurance, getting X-rays, and cleaning my teeth. Dr. Rivera and his team were friendly and professional and answered all my questions. I am switching my family over to Dr. Rivera's practice!

I recently switched to Dr. Rivera after a terrible experience with my previous dentist, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Dr. Rivera and his staff are incredibly friendly and professional.

Highly recommend!

Wonderful first visit - by Michelle W.

This was my first visit to Dr Rivera's practice, having recently moved to Victoria. After the in-network list on my insurance, I looked for websites and this was the first that really engaged me. Making appointment was easy, all staff are engaged and personable. Dr Rivera took time with me, attentive to my dental history and discussed the few findings that we will watch over time. I walked out with my 72 year old teeth clean and a smile that I have found a great dentist.

Is iced coffee bad for your teeth? Whether you like yours hot or iced, all coffee is acidic and can lead to tooth sensitivity and increase the risk of cavities if consumed in excess. It can also stain your teeth over time. Many commercially available iced coffees contain added sugars or sweetened syrups, which can promote tooth decay and gum disease if consumed frequently. But don’t worry - we won’t ask you to take away your iced coffee for good!

To minimize potential negative effects on your teeth while enjoying iced coffee:
- Limit consumption of sugary or sweetened varieties.
- Drink through a straw positioned toward the back of your mouth to reduce contact with teeth.
- Rinse your mouth with water after drinking coffee to help neutralize acidity and reduce staining.
- Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing daily.
- Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings.

You may have heard the claim that charcoal toothpaste can be used to naturally whiten your teeth.

However, there's no proof that charcoal dental products are safe or effective, according to the American Dental Association. In fact, using overly abrasive materials like charcoal can have the opposite effect and actually make your teeth appear more yellow by wearing away enamel and exposing the layer yellow dentin underneath. Remember: always opt for a whitening toothpaste with the ADA Seal of Acceptance for safety, effectiveness, and tooth protection.

Don’t hesitate to ask our team any questions you have about choosing the right toothpaste at your next appointment!

Just a friendly reminder to stop and take a deep breath. 💙 Stress not only takes a toll on your mental health, but it can also affect your smile! Clenching or grinding teeth, known as bruxism, can lead to tooth wear, jaw pain, and even fractures. Take time to relax and protect your oral health.

It’s electric! ⚡ Using an electric toothbrush can take your oral hygiene to the next level. Here are some benefits of brushing with an electric toothbrush:

🦷 Electric toothbrushes are more effective at removing plaque compared to manual brushing, helping to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
🦷 Many electric toothbrushes come with built-in timers to ensure you brush for the recommended two minutes.
🦷 The oscillating or rotating movements of electric toothbrush bristles are gentle on gums, reducing the risk of gum recession and sensitivity.
🦷 Electric toothbrushes often feature pressure sensors and different brushing modes to help you find your preferred brushing technique.
🦷 Electric toothbrushes can make brushing fun for kids with colorful designs and music timers, encouraging them to develop good oral care habits from a young age.

If you’re expecting, it’s crucial to keep up with your oral health and visit David R Rivera DDS for regular check-ups. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect your oral health and make gingivitis more common in expecting mothers. These changes can increase the blood flow to the gum tissue and cause your gums to be more sensitive, irritable, and swollen.
Taking care of your teeth and gums not only benefits you but also your little one on the way. 💛 Contact us for more information or to schedule an appointment: https://rwl.io/2U08tUi.
