What Causes Dry Mouth

Blog — Mission Viejo Smiles The latest new from our practice and around the dental world

Every year, kids in North America spend close to half a billion dollars on chewing gum.
That’s a lot of gum-smacking and bubble popping! Actually, gum isn’t a bad thing if you make sure to chew only sugar-free varieties. In fact, chewing gum can help your oral health by stimulating saliva production which helps fight off the bacteria that causes tooth decay. It also keeps your breath fresh. Go ahead and chew away

Halloween Candy and Dental Health
The spookiest time of year is great fun for the young and old, but beneath the veil lies a dark side. The tradition of consuming large amounts of candy is usually a huge risk to dental health. The sugar traces that remain in the mouth attract bacterial activity. As bacteria consume the sugar, it secretes a weak acid that eats into the teeth enamel, causing cavities and increasing tooth sensitivity. Not only can these conditions prove painful, but they can cost a lot to treat. Here are a few tips to help limit the risk of this occurring:
Practice good oral hygiene. Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing daily helps remove the remnants of food and candy that will damage teeth. Brush in the morning and evening, for at least two minutes each time, covering all the surfaces of your teeth.Limit your intake of high-sugar and starchy foods. These encourage bacterial activity in the mouth. Try to avoid such snacks between meals as this provides long periods of exposure whereby bacteria will spend more time producing acid. Opt instead for low-risk foods like raw vegetables, low sugar fruits, nuts, plain yogurt or cheese.
Enjoy at mealtimes
Saliva does a good job of cleaning the mouth of food particles and is at its highest production during your top meals. In some cases, it may be better to have your candy during or just after your primary meals, if you must. Drinking more water at this time will also help in washing away food particles. Additionally, fluoride has been proven to aid in preventing tooth decay so brush after meals for best results.
Choose wisely and once. Try to avoid sticky candies like toffee and gummy bears. When they get stuck on and between your teeth, it takes longer to get rid of them, providing a greater chance for bacteria to consume them.Visit your dentist twice annually. To ensure your teeth remain in good shape, be sure to visit your dentist twice a year for an exam and professional cleaning. Even with religious brushing, there will be some level of dental plaque buildup that requires a professional to eradicate.
