Do germs really live on my toothbrush?

Published on March 12, 2013 by

 

After recovering from an illness, one of the most important steps you can take to avoid becoming reinfected is replacing your toothbrush. Germs can linger on the bristles, and you risk prolonging your sickness by continuing to use the same toothbrush. Always keep a spare, just in case! To protect your toothbrush from bacteria all year long, consider the following tips:

• Wash your hands before and after brushing
• Allow the brush to air dry after each use, harmful bacteria dies after being exposed to oxygen
• Store the toothbrush in an upright position to allow water to drain and dry faster
• Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months. Worn bristles are less effective in properly cleaning your teeth, and can actually be damaging to teeth if used too long!

Don’t let cavities sneak up on you

Cavities don’t always hurt, at least until they are really bad, in which case you’ve waited too long.

Stay on top of your dental health by scheduling your cleanings and exams.

Regular Dental Visits Are A Must!!!

You may not experience any noticeable symptoms but gum disease can affect your overall health. It causes damage to your teeth and gums and usually gets worse gradually. Having a thorough dental exam, periodontal charting and x-rays can help us detect gum disease before you even know it’s there.

Top 5 Holiday Dental tips

Published on December 11, 2012 by

Holiday Tips

1. Don’t crack nuts with your teeth. Squirrels can do that, not humans. Cracking a tooth can be very painful resulting in the urgent need for a root canal and crown. Be smart when muching on those delicious holiday nuts, use a nutcracker!

2. Be very carefull when eating caramel popcorn. Biting down on a single unpopped kernal of popcorn too hard can break a tooth.

3. Don’t give into the temptation to bite down on candy canes. Savor the pepperminty -goodness!

4. Don’t bite tags off clothing. That’s what scissors are used for!

5. Brush and floss your teeth after eating cookies, pies and sweets. The greatest cause of dental decay is from sugary food left on or around your teeth.

Be thankful for your teeth and a healthy smile. If you are not,  contact our office for a free consultation and we will help you get a reason to smile!

If your mouth or jaw hurt, it could be from a toothache. Toothaches usually indicate a cavity but they can also signal gum disease. In some cases, a toothache is a sign of an abscess or impacted tooth. A toothache should be evaluated by a dentist right away to determine the cause of the problem and prevent the tooth from dying.

Dont delay! Contact our office to schedule an appointment for a consultation.
