Healthy Smiles For Life!
A healthy smile begins with healthy dental habits, and that means brushing properly for a full three to five minutes twice a day, and flossing at least once a day. Flossing removes the plaque and debris that collect between the teeth and under the gumline, where your toothbrush can't reach. Mastering the proper brushing and flossing techniques is your first line of defense against the bacterial plaque that causes tooth decay and gum disease.
People are living longer than ever these days, and in fact, senior citizens are the fastest growing demographic in our population. Seniors are also keeping their teeth longer than previous generations, and are recognizing that tooth loss isn't a result of the aging process as was believed in the past, but rather is a result of oral disease. For this reason, dental patients, especially the elderly, need not only to be vigilant about their oral hygiene, but also to remember to keep their dentist informed of any changes or updates in their medical history to help prevent potentially harmful drug interactions or health conditions. For example, many medications cause a decrease in the saliva flow, which can lead to a dry mouth condition, subsequent dental decay and possible tooth loss.
Sometimes even healthy teeth can be crooked, chipped, uneven or stained - all common problems that now have common solutions. There are a multitude of options available today, and we're happy to report that we have the technology to put the right, bright smile on your face!
