On her free days she loves to lounge around with her husband and their Mini Schnauzer named Bebe. She has plenty of stories to share about her love of hygiene, family, Bebe, and oral self-care.

What do you do if you experience a dental emergency?
Stop, drop, and roll? Write out S.O.S in the sand? Call 911? What do you exactly do if you experience a dental emergency?
First, stay calm and contact us as soon as possible. Next, hold your tooth just by the crown (which is the part that is used to chew food) and gently rinse with water. Be sure not to agitate the tooth or tissue that surrounds the tooth, and do not use any other substance to rinse aside from water.
If your tooth fell out, the best way to preserve it is to hold it in the socket that it came from. If this is not viable, then place the tooth in a container of milk and rinse your mouth gently with warm water.

Did you know, chocolate is proven to make us smile more than anything else we eat? ๐ซ
So what is the difference between Invisalign and braces?
Well, braces are attached to your teeth and you can't take them off without professional help. They'll help structure your smile and bring them where they need to be, but you have to be aware of what you're eating to avoid getting sticky substances stuck in between.
Invisalign is a clear liner that you can take off without the help of a dentist, that shapes your teeth. In between meals you can take out the liner so you can eat whatever you want, as long as you snap the liner back in after you're finished. Finally, it's more cosmetically appealing.
Do you have a better understanding of the two? Let us know down in the comments below!

So you've probably heard the term "dentin" thrown around here and there but what exactly is it?
Well, the dentin is the part of the tooth that's below the enamel and cementum. It has small microscopic tubules that allow heat and cold or acidic and sticky food to stimulate the nerves and cells inside the tooth, which is what you experience as sensitivity.
It also provides support to the enamel and protects the pulp of your tooth.

Meet Jenny Our Registered Dental Hygienist
Jenny is our dental hygienist. She graduated Harper College with an Associates in Dental Hygiene. What she loves most about hygiene is getting to know each of her patients while personalizing the care she provides to each individual including oral health education. The best feeling she gets is when a patient leaves her chair feeling cleaner and happier because of the care she provided. On her free days she loves to lounge around with her husband and their Mini Schnauzer named Bebe. She has plenty of stories to share about her love of hygiene, family, Bebe, and oral self-care.
