ORAL CANCER

idiculla — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:04:05 +0000

“Routine screenings” can protect you from Oral Cancer! There are an estimated 91,200 people in the U.S. living with oral cancer, a potentially disfiguring and fatal condition. It’s not just tobacco users who are at risk. Alcohol consumption, genetics, nutritional deficiencies, prolonged sun exposure (lip cancer) and if you are predisposed, just being over age 40…can increase your risk. Oral cancer can spread very quickly! Early detection is important. About 37,000 new cases of oral cancer are diagnosed every year.

Do germs really live on my toothbrush?

idiculla — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:17:38 +0000

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.

Oral health habits may affect whether a person develops dementia later in life. Researchers followed adults with no previous diagnosis of dementia and a median age of 81 and determined that participants who reported brushing their teeth less than once per day had up to 65 percent greater risk of developing dementia than those who brushed three times daily.
