The point of preventive dental care, including your daily dental hygiene routine, is to protect your smile by preventing some of the more common types of dental problems from developing. For instance, both tooth decay and gum disease can have many contributing factors, but they form specifically when oral bacteria are allowed to infect your teeth or gums (respectively). While you can largely prevent these concerns, there are some less minor developments that you might not be able to. One of these is the gradual staining of your teeth after years of constant use and exposure to foods and beverages. (more…)
What to Eat for Better Oral Health
There are many different ways you can take good care of your smile, and probably some ways in which you can improve how well you take care of it now. However, next to the importance of good dental hygiene, other things can often seem less important. For instance, when it comes to keeping your teeth strong and healthy, brushing and flossing them every day is only half the battle. Like the rest of your body, your teeth also need an ample supply of essential minerals and nutrients to remain healthy, and many of them have to be introduced through your diet. (more…)

You can successfully protect and preserve your smile without a good dental hygiene routine. Most people recognize this, and yet, many common dental concerns (like tooth decay and gum disease) still affect a large percentage of people of all ages.

How to Save a Tooth That’s Structurally Damaged
While preventive dentistry is the foundation of keeping your smile consistently healthy, the art of restoring a tooth that’s been compromised can be just as important. Healthy, natural tooth structure is incredibly resilient, and able to withstand enormous amounts of pressure. However, your tooth structure can become damaged (i.e., fractured, worn down, or broken) in several different ways. When this occurs, the damage to your tooth will not resolve itself. In fact, the only way to save the tooth is to restore it, which will allow you to continue biting and chewing on the tooth without it becoming even more compromised. (more…)

Why Are Modern Fillings Tooth-Colored?
Patients who have cavities and need fillings to treat them often expect their fillings to be made of metal. That’s largely because metal fillings have been the typical cavity treatment for over a century. However, many patients are often surprised to learn that they can successfully treat their cavities with more discreet and biocompatible tooth-colored fillings. Instead of being made from metal and shining conspicuously against the appearance of your teeth, a tooth-colored filling is designed to blend in with your tooth’s appearance and remain virtually undetectable after it’s placed within your cavity. (more…)
How to Stay Ahead of Cavity Development
On average, people need cavity treatment more frequently than any other dental treatment, aside from routine dental checkups and cleanings.

Though it’s highly preventable, it can develop naturally if your dental hygiene and preventive dental care are consistent. Fortunately, you can save your smile from a cavity even after it’s developed, and the sooner you do so, the better it is for your long-term oral health. With these few tips, you’ll have a much better chance of staying ahead of cavity development and avoiding severe infection in your tooth. (more…)

There are some oral health concerns that some people have to deal with despite their best preventive efforts. For example, teeth can sometimes be congenitally misaligned and need orthodontic correction, or you may experience a dental emergency resulting from accidental trauma.

The most important factor in successful prevention is consistency – with it, you have a much better chance at keeping your smile safe from most common dental issues. (more…)
