It's that time of year again where the temperatures cool and the landscape slowly reddens. Happy first day of autumn.
One of the most shocking things patients learn about is the hidden sugars in their favorite foods and drinks and how this affects their teeth. Foods like yogurt, dried fruits, granola and protein bars, bbq sauce, and dressings all have a surprisingly high amount of sugar additives. What's worse are the drinks! Faves like fruit juice, chocolate milk, sports drinks, and even vitamin water bathe your teeth in tooth-decaying sweeteners. We encourage you to check the labels of foods and drinks to be more aware of the things you are putting into your body as well as your mouth. Stay aware to stay healthy!
There's some (ahem) wisdom involved when determining the fate of a wisdom tooth. More often than not the wisdom tooth needs to be extracted because of the strain it puts on the rest of your teeth with overcrowding and shifting. You will eventually experience overlapping and misalignment, especially if the wisdom tooth is angled towards your back teeth, which will only end in the inability to preform proper brushing and flossing. Yikes! If you're concerned this might be the case with your teeth, call and make an appointment with us today. We will give you an honest assessment and a knowledgeable course of action to prevent future damage.
Dentures are not for everyone. All natural teeth must be removed and the dentures placed after the gum tissue has healed, which can take several months. They also require frequent adjustments during the first couple of months to make them comfortable for your mouth. If you’re interested in learning more about dentures, please call and schedule an appointment with us. We can help you determine the best treatment for your ongoing oral health.
Look, we know if you've only flossed three times over the past six months. You can't pull the wool over our eyes. Flossing before you come to a dental check-up is like cleaning up the crumbs of a cookie while there's still chocolate on your face. LOL. That's why we suggest you floss like every day is dental check-up day. That kind of focus on your dental health will not only bring you huge kudos from your dentist but your smile as well.
It's true! If you were to total up the amount of time spent brushing over the course of a person's life it averages about 38.5 days. Wow! But you know your smile is worth every second.😁
Thanks for recommending us, Jesse. We greatly appreciate it.

Everything in moderation is a good motto to remember. Having a few sweet treats once in awhile is acceptable. Problems arise when you consistently bathe your teeth in sugar and then don't brush or floss after. So with Halloween fast approaching, enjoy yourself, but make sure you don't forget about your teeth's health in the process.
