| Authored by-Tillman Coleman Why You Need Cosmetic Dentistry For SummerA great tip when it comes to dental hygiene is to avoid extreme temperature changes. When you go from a particularly hot environment to a cold one (or visa versa) your teeth can become very sensitive and in some cases, you can damage the enamel. This also means you shouldn't eat hot and cold foods together. Make certain your tongue gets a good brushing! Many people forget to brush their tongue, but keeping it clean is as crucial as it is to clean one's teeth. There are all kinds of bacteria on the tongue. If this bacteria remains on your tongue, it will be transferred to your teeth. Additionally, the bacteria can contribute to bad breath. What Are Dental ImplantsIf one of your teeth gets knocked out, you should not just throw it away. Gently rinse the tooth off to cleanse it. Also, be sure that you leave any tissue intact, and then try to put the tooth back in the socket from which it came out. If not, use milk to soak the tooth in and call your dental office as soon as possible. In order to keep your teeth healthy, try to avoid eating foods high in carbohydrates. These foods, such as candies, chips, pretzels, and pastas, tend to stick onto your teeth and are hard to come off, even when you brush them thoroughly. This is what causes cavities and other dental issues. How Do You Become A DentistIf you are afraid of needles, discuss sedation dentistry with your dentist before having any major work done. Sedation dentistry allows you to take a small pill that helps you to relax before your appointment. It is safe for most individuals, and it can make a dental visit much less stressful. If your teeth have been decaying rapidly, you may have a nutritional deficiency. A lot of people who aren't eating enough items that contain essential vitamins and minerals may end up having problems with their teeth. Take a multivitamin and visit your doctor for additional testing, if necessary, to find out exactly what the problem is with your health. If you drink or eat a lot of acidic things, don't brush for an hour or longer after you've finished. The acidic foods soften your teeth enamel. While your enamel is soft, you can destroy the enamel by brushing. Chose foods that act as tooth cleaners for dessert. Popcorn, celery, carrots and apples are good options. These firm foods clean your teeth while you eat them. If you cannot brush your teeth immediately, eating these foods will help clean your mouth. See your dentist for checkups and cleanings regularly. It is recommended that you see a dentist every 6 months to have your teeth cleaned. This will help you prevent cavities and catch any that you have early on. This will save you from a bigger problem with your teeth later on. If you have a serious fear of the dentist and conventional methods won't work, you might want to consider taking some sort of medication. Your dentist can give you anti-anxiety medication or nitrous oxide which will make the entire dentist visit a whole lot easier. Just make sure that you don't have any adverse reactions to the medications. Be sure to get any chips or cracks in your teeth as soon as possible. When you have a cracked or chipped tooth, you are giving germs and bacteria a great place to hide. Obviously, when you have these problems fixed, bacteria and germs have nowhere to go. Fluoride mouthwash can also help. When you are trying to keep your teeth healthy, it is important to clean your tongue. Bacteria can build up on your tongue if you are not cleaning it properly or frequently. To clean your tongue, you can use your toothbrush or a tongue scraper. Both work equally well at cleaning your tongue. Limit the amount of candy that your child consumes. Candy is the culprit for the development of cavities. Chewy candy stick to the teeth, causing even more problems with the sugar adhering to the teeth surface. If your child wants something sweet, offer him a piece of fruit instead, followed by a sip of water. You might be surprised at the areas you're lacking in after having read this article. Keep working towards a healthier and brighter mouth, and next time expect your dentist to say good job. You want them to think that you've been taking care of your mouth in between visits. ![]() |
