Did you know the sequence in which you brush your teeth and eat your breakfast can have a significant impact on the health of your teeth and overall wellness? When you brush your teeth right after eating, it is essentially like scrubbing strong cleaning detergent on your enamel. Not good!
Although our enamel is incredibly resistant, when we eat, the acid breaks down the enamel. When you brush acid-softened-enamel, you can wear it down even more and cause tooth decay and discolored teeth. Brushing your teeth in the morning is necessary since it helps reset your mouth so that it is ready for all the food and drinks you’ll eat throughout the day. More importantly, it removes the bacteria that have been growing in your mouth overnight.
These bacteria cause morning breath and turn sugar into acid – which is why dentists are so adamant about patients cutting out sugar. So, you should brush before breakfast. We recommend waking up, drinking a glass of water, and brushing your teeth right before doing anything else. If you need to brush after eating, give your enamel time to settle before – at least for 30 minutes.

More families are at home right now than ever before. And for many, that means it is prime-time for snacking all day. It is also the best time for you to make sure that you and your family are staying on top of their dental hygiene. Floss at least once a day, brush twice a day, and continue to get a cleaning every six months. In fact, the American Dental Association believes that Oral health is integral to overall health and should be considered essential health care. Give us a call today at (925) 961-5484 to schedule your upcoming dental cleaning.
Who would have thought that teeth could be affected by seasonal allergies? Well, the easy answer is that teeth are not impervious to seasonal allergies. Actually, it’s the body that reacts to allergies, which, in turn, impacts the teeth. For instance, seasonal allergies can cause sinus pressure, sore throat, and dry mouth which can all lead to tooth pain based on the decrease of oral health from these allergic symptoms.
For more information on how to care for your teeth during allergy season, call Foothill Dental Care in Livermore at (925) 961-5484 to schedule an appointment today.

Teeth are impressively strong for being so small. However, teeth are still susceptible to damage because they can still chip, crack, and break in many ways. For instance, biting something hard, trauma to the mouth area, falling down, and even not wearing a mouthpiece while playing some sports can cause teeth to become damaged.

Childhood is the easiest time to develop good dental habits. In honor of National Family Health and Fitness Day, we challenge you to be more proactive with your family’s dental health.
