October is National Dental Hygiene Month. Fresh breath, strong teeth and healthy gums are all part of oral health. That's why it's important to brush every day, and also to get regular checkups and cleanings!
When was your last check up?

#TongueTie
The consequences of an untreated tongue tie can be many and varied, depending largely on the age of the subject and the severity of the condition. The demands made on us increase as we grow older, and our environment becomes less forgiving of mistakes. Delay in treatment, therefore, can have very negative consequences.
Children with a tongue tie have to contend with difficulties which may only be discovered as they grow older. These can include:
🎯 Inability to chew age appropriate solid foods
🎯 Gagging, choking or vomiting foods
🎯 Persisting food fads
🎯 Difficulties related to dental hygiene
🎯 Persistence of dribbling
🎯 Delayed development of speech
🎯 Deterioration in speech
🎯 Behaviour problems
🎯 Dental problems starting to appear
🎯 Loss of self confidence because they feel and sound ‘different’
🎯 Strong, incorrect habits of compensation being acquired

The simple act of trying to keep dentures in place can trigger serious health problems, including neurological damage, a new study by University of Maryland researchers warns.
Preliminary studies link the zinc in some adhesives to neurological damage and blood abnormalities, at least among patients who squeeze out too much denture cream, too often, trying to keep their teeth anchored.
Symptoms include unexplained weakness, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet or balance problems.
When patients suffering from zinc overdoses were taken off their denture adhesives, their blood levels for both zinc and copper returned to normal.
Today, with “New Normal”, it’s time to invest in yourself and your health! Ask us about implants.

According to a study carried out at the University of Helsinki, an infection of the root tip of a tooth increases the risk of coronary artery disease, even if the infection is symptomless. Hidden dental root tip infections are very common: as many as one in four Finns suffers from at least one. Such infections are usually detected by chance from X-rays.

Oral microbiota is an important part of the human microbiota. Oral microbes can be colonized into the intestine in various ways. Oral microbiota is associated with a variety of oral diseases. Recently, increasing evidence has shown that the oral microbiota is closely related to the physical state of humans, such as diabetes, obesity, and cancer.
In the future, we can improve oral health by altering the oral microbiota through developing oral probiotics and enhancing body health. For example, xylitol chewing gum can reduce the load of bacteria in the oral cavity of a subject and improve oral micro-ecology homeostasis.

Chilies have been used as a food and medicine for at least 8,000 years. Now, literally hot off the presses, a new study suggests that eating these fiery fruits could save your life. The researchers reported that people who ate chili peppers regularly lived longer and had much lower risk for fatal heart attacks and strokes than those who ate chilies rarely or never.
The researchers studied a Mediterranean cohort of nearly 23,000 men and women who were randomly recruited from Molise, Italy. About 24 percent of participates ate chilies four or more times a week and 34 percent ate them rarely or never.
The results for the two groups were as follows:
~ People who ate chili peppers frequently had a 40 percent lower risk for dying from a heart attack than those who ate chilies rarely or never.
~ Risk for fatal stroke was halved in the group that ate chilies frequently.
~ Frequent eaters of chilies had a 33 percent lower risk for death of any cause during the study period.
~ Survival benefits of eating chilies were stronger in people without high blood pressure.
~ Consumption of chili peppers had no effect on the rate of cancer deaths.
~ * ~
In 2015, a Chinese study linked eating spicy foods, including chilies, six or seven times a week to a 14 percent lower risk for death from any cause and a 22 percent lower risk for death from ischemic heart disease.
A 2017 U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination study reported a 36 percent lower rate of all-cause mortality in people who ate hot red chili peppers vs. those who did not. Participants were tracked for about 19 years.

Science today is teaching us that the mouth is not a closed system, but one connected to the rest of our body. The health of our mouth is affected by the health of our body and vice versa. Gum disease is a bacterial infection in the mouth and the same bacteria can travel through the bloodstream and put our entire health at risk. When the health of our mouth deteriorates through decay or gum disease, it may put our general health in jeopardy, particularly if we have additional risk factors. By making this critical connection between what goes on in our mouth and the rest of our body, we are taking the first step toward optimal health.

Many kids (and kids at heart) look forward to Halloween. It’s the time of the year when all sorts of candies and other treats are handed out freely.
During this spooky season of fun and treats, we want to ensure that you and your family’s oral health is well-taken care of.
~ Brushing and flossing your teeth are one of the simplest yet important ways of keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
~ Pick a treat or two
~ Make your own sugar-free treats
The two types of bacteria that are destructive in your mouth feed on sugar. They form a dental plaque, a sticky, colorless film on the surface of your teeth.
~ Drink plenty of water
Drinking water, especially a fluorinated one, is one of the most beneficial things you can do to prevent tooth decay.

It’s a challenge for children to maintain good oral health by flossing and brushing regularly. Take away the risk of tooth decay by doing away with the processed sugars this year, and consider some other options while planning your trick-or-treat traditions. Here are some ideas to get you started and on your way to being the most popular house in the neighborhood.
We encourage our patients to come in for regular checkups, so we can nip any pesky cavities in the bud. Offering non-candy and non-food items to trick-or-treaters not only helps all children feel included, but also keeps their mouths healthy.

The PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) therapy is a revolutionary, biological method that enables us to use growth factors in dentistry.
Thanks to the PRF method, we greatly enhance the healing process of hard and soft oral tissues, achieving excellent results in a wide range of dental cases.
The advantages of the PRF procedure are:
☑️ Faster healing
☑️ Less post-operative swelling and pain
☑️ Increased vascularization in the operated area
☑️ Lower risk of infection and complications – especially in complex cases
☑️ Better and faster bone regeneration
☑️ The PRF is a 100% natural method since we isolate growth factors from the patient’s own blood.

Even if you are keeping up with your oral hygiene, the teeth have different grooves and indents that can build up plaque and tartar (calculus). These difficult to reach areas need to be professionally cleaned.
Having regular cleanings will contribute to maintaining your oral health.
Your dental professional will discuss with you what areas in your mouth need more attention. They can also provide you with some tips and tricks to reach those areas that need added care.

#PancreaticCancer Awareness Month
Researchers found that men and women whose oral microbiomes included Porphyromonas gingivalis had an overall 59 percent greater risk of developing pancreatic cancer than those whose microbiomes did not contain the bacterium.

Although you can’t control certain pancreatic cancer risk factors like family history, age, race, and gender, there are certain risks that you can control. Among them are tobacco use, losing some pounds if you are overweight or obese, and limiting your exposure to certain chemicals used in the dry cleaning and metal working industries, according to the American Cancer Society.
But, keeping your gums healthy is just a really good idea for everyone since the evidence is mounting that taking care of your mouth may result in better overall health 👍🏻

SmoothEye™
Dark and saggy tissue below the eye is one of the most complained about areas of the face. Dark and puffy eyes add age to the face more quickly than nearly anything else. But with the Fotona laser, that can be changed! This procedure is a patient favorite, as the results can sometimes be seen right after treatment. But after three treatments the area will improve, appear less puffy, and the color tone normally improves as well. Nothing rolls back the clock like smoother areas around the eyes. With no downtime or redness no one will even know you treated them! They will just notice the amazing difference it made!

The mouth is our gateway to the rest of the body, a pathway for good nutrition and healthy habits.

#CottonCandyDay 🍭
Airy spun sugar, cotton candy—AKA Fairy floss—is a pink, fluffy cloud that kids’ dreams are made of. But who invented cotton candy?
Surprisingly, the inventor of cotton candy was actually a dentist! In 1897 William Morrison teamed up with Tennessee candy maker, John Wharton, to create the concoction. The duo premiered cotton candy in 1908 at the World’s Fair. The price was only 25 cents.
We know sweets are cruel on teeth, but just how bad is cotton candy for our smiles? Not as bad as one would expect. The sugary strings are mostly air. 1 ounce of cotton candy has 26 grams of sugar, compared to a candy apple and a funnel cake, which have 45 grams and 35 grams, respectively.
Enjoy the sweet treat, but remember to brush and floss after you indulge!

Breathing is one of the most vital functions of the human body. Every breath we take can have a positive or negative impact on our bodies depending on how it is performed; and it has been well established that normal breathing should be achieved through the nose. However, it may be detoured to the oral cavity in the presence of an airway obstruction.

Post-holiday no one wants to start off their New Year’s Resolutions with “Get Cavities Filled.” How to survive the sweetest of seasons with enamel and fillings intact?
🎄Eat sweets with a meal.
Saliva does more than keep our mouths from getting dry. It also helps prevent cavities by washing away food particles and neutralizing the acids from food and bacteria, which damage enamel.
Eat dessert with a meal, and you benefit from increased mealtime saliva production.
🎄Rinse after eating.
Rinsing your mouth with water after a meal or a snack, especially a sugary one, also helps wash away the sticky sugars and carbs, which oral bacteria convert into acids.

❗️What’s inside: Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Fiber & Potassium
🍠 Why sweet potatoes are good for your teeth: Yams and sweet potatoes are often interchangeable in recipes and can be prepared a lot of different ways — some of them more healthy than others. But at the heart of every yam or sweet potato dish is a vitamin-packed starch that is low in fat and high in nutritional value. Great at regulating blood sugar, their anti-inflammatory properties can help prevent periodontal disease. Healthy doses of Thiamine and Niacin in a balanced diet can decrease tooth decay. And Vitamin A promotes saliva production, which is crucial for cleaning away destructive bacteria and food particles from between teeth and gums.

If the root of the tooth has an infection, it is most likely due to an abscess or other condition that is below the root spreading up through the tooth. This is why it is crucial to seek professional treatment from an endodontist who has the expertise and tools to perform the necessary endodontic surgery. Do not hesitate to schedule an examination to determine the extent and cause of the pain. If endodontic surgery is necessary, there will be specific signs to look out for. Here are seven signs that you need endodontic surgery.

If you have an accident while on the slopes and knock out a tooth, here are a few steps you can take:
▶️ Make sure you have the number for ski patrol. If you fall in a low-traffic area, you may need to call for help.
▶️ Pick the tooth up by the 𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯. Try not to touch the root. If the tooth is dirty or has snow on it, rinse it with milk. If you can’t find milk, use water.
▶️ Don’t wipe the tooth with clothing or a towel. Doing so can damage the tooth.
▶️ Keep the tooth in a glass of milk. Don’t have milk? Place the tooth in your mouth (between your cheek and gum). If you have a young child who may swallow the tooth, ask them to spit it into a cup with their saliva.
▶️ You can try to slip the tooth back into its socket, but don’t force it. Make an appointment to see a local dentist as soon as you can and bring the tooth with you.

❗️What’s inside: Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Fiber & Potassium
🍠 Why sweet potatoes are good for your teeth: Yams and sweet potatoes are often interchangeable in recipes and can be prepared a lot of different ways — some of them more healthy than others. But at the heart of every yam or sweet potato dish is a vitamin-packed starch that is low in fat and high in nutritional value. Great at regulating blood sugar, their anti-inflammatory properties can help prevent periodontal disease. Healthy doses of Thiamine and Niacin in a balanced diet can decrease tooth decay. And Vitamin A promotes saliva production, which is crucial for cleaning away destructive bacteria and food particles from between teeth and gums.

Oral health has risen in importance in recent years, as researchers have discovered a connection between declining oral health and underlying systemic conditions. It turns out that a healthy mouth can help you maintain a healthy body. According to the Mayo Clinic, oral bacteria and inflammation may be associated with:
➕ heart disease
➕ endocarditis, or inflammation of the lining of the heart
➕ premature birth
➕ low birth weight
Bacteria can spread from your oral cavity to your bloodstream, causing infective endocarditis. Infective endocarditis is a life-threatening infection of your heart valves. Your dentist may suggest you take antibiotics as a preventive measure before they perform any dental procedure that could dislodge bacteria in your mouth.

Choosing between dental tape and floss depends on which one is best at cleaning between your teeth and which one is easy for you to use. For instance, waxed dental floss is recommended for people whose teeth are tightly packed together. Similarly, some people find it hard to handle thin strands of floss, so dental tape is a better option for them.
If you have any questions regarding dental tape or dental floss, do not hesitate to call us!

Take precaution to not apply too much pressure while brushing. The toothbrush bristles should not bend or splay while brushing. If you are pressing down hard on your toothbrush, you are already exerting too much force. To apply the right amount of pressure, try holding your toothbrush with just your 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬. This will help eliminate that impulse to press too hard.

The following vitamins are all great options to supplement with if you want to keep your gums and teeth in tip-top shape.
📣Vitamin A
In addition to being great for your vision and skin health, vitamin A also helps you maintain a healthy amount of saliva production. Saliva is necessary for cleaning away bacteria and food particles from in between the teeth and gums.
📣B vitamins are important for warding off mouth sores and minimizing oral inflammation.
The B vitamins niacin and riboflavin are especially important for this job, but all of the B vitamins are necessary.
📣Vitamin C keeps the connective tissues in the gums healthy and strong.
When these tissues are strong, they hold your teeth securely in place. If your teeth become loose, you can experience bleeding gums and an increased risk of gum disease.

It’s been well-documented during the pandemic that people have suffered from poorer sleep quality as a result of heightened anxiety and depression. That tends to correspond with more intense teeth grinding and jaw clenching, a phenomenon referred to as bruxism 😬
The consequences of bruxism can include mild to severe headaches, fracturing or breaking a tooth or a tooth filling.
While stress and anxiety are clearly contributing to the orofacial pain many people are experiencing, delayed dental visits could also be contributing to the problem.
To avoid cracks in your teeth, lose caps and additional jaw pain, call us and schedule a check up. We will be able to determine the cause of your bruxism, and come up with perfect treatment for you!

Just as periodontal health can affect your overall health, certain health conditions and their treatments can affect your periodontal health. Cancer therapy is one example.
Oral complications from radiation, bone marrow transplantation or chemotherapy may include:
➕Inflamed gums, mouth ulcers and infection
➕Dry mouth
➕Difficulty speaking, chewing and swallowing
➕Dental decay or erosion of the tooth enamel and root
➕Loss of taste sensation
➕Jaw stiffness
➕Delayed healing
If at all possible, an oral evaluation by a periodontist or knowledgeable dental professional should be obtained prior to beginning your cancer treatment. Identifying and correcting a potential oral problem may ease discomfort so it does not intensify or interfere with your cancer treatment.

Scientists found that people who use an electric toothbrush have healthier gums, less tooth decay and also keep their teeth for longer, compared with those who use a manual toothbrush.
The ground-breaking research took 11 years to complete and is the longest study of its kind into the effectiveness of electric versus manual brushing.

While too much white or milk chocolate can be a very bad thing for your teeth, it’s not all bad news for chocolate lovers.
Some studies suggest that the polyphenols found in dark, raw and unprocessed chocolate can help to fight the overgrowth of organisms including bacteria in the mouth which cause bad breath. Polyphenols can also prevent some sugars from turning into acid and breaking down the enamel in teeth.
Additionally, flavenoids in dark chocolate can slow tooth decay, and antioxidants in dark chocolate are beneficial to heath overall. They can help fight gum disease.

Dental stress has manifested itself in the increase of bruxism (grinding) and clenching. As a result, there is an increase in fractured teeth, broken restorations, TMD issues, headaches, and neck and shoulder problems.
We’re also seeing an increase in people with gum conditions getting worse along with an increase in decay rates. The combination of not coming into the office due to the pandemic, poor eating habits, and frequent mouth breathing due to masks adds to the negative impacts of stress on the body.

#Ceramic #implants made of zirconium oxide can be a genuine alternative to the frequently used titanium implants for people with intolerances. The gums grow onto this metal-free implant solution particularly well, thereby closing the gap for any bacteria that could enter into the blood circulation via the gums.
In addition, ceramic implants do not release any particles into the tissue, therefore eliminating the risk of allergies or intolerances developing. Due to the good level of tolerance, it is no longer possible to imagine biological dentistry without the use of ceramics as an implant material.
