Can my silver fillings be replaced with white fillings?
The answer to this is yes. However you shouldn't get them replaced until they need to be. Silver filling can last a long time if your are doing good home care and regular visits to the dentist. Some last as long as 25 years and beyond. The key is to remove them as soon as they begin to break down. Do not wait until they break. Usually it is the tooth structure that breaks before the filling does. Visit your dentist every six months and really take to heart when they tell you it is time to change them out. READ MORE
How often can I use a mouthwash in a day?
Generally, you should use mouth wash every time you brush and floss which should be at the very least, once a day and preferably after every meal. There is no downside to using mouth wash as often as you like as long as it is not alcohol based. The alcohol will tend to dry out your mouth and kill a lot of the good bacteria that is essential to the health of your mouth. You may have a more serious issue if you use mouth wash all day long and still have bad breath. You may have periodontal disease or an active infection if you constantly have bad breath. Mouth wash is no substitute for brushing and flossing. Have your dentist check it out if the bad breath is constant. READ MORE
How can I help my child's fear of the dentist?
The best thing to do in this situation is to have the child go with you to your Cleaning appointment as an observer. Tell her that you are going to the dentist and that she needs to go with you just to watch. Knowing that she will not be the subject may make it easier for her to go. Talk to your dentist ahead of time to make sure the whole staff is on board. READ MORE
How often do you need your teeth cleaned?
You should get your teeth professionally cleaned every six months. There are many places in the mouth that people miss, even if they are very diligent. Chances are you probably have gingivitis if you are very lucky and probably early stages of periodontal disease. Get to your dentist as soon as possible! READ MORE
Are my medications staining my teeth?
Generally, medications will not stain your teeth. Most likely, the dyes in your medications are staining the plaque or hardened tarter on your teeth. Go see your Dental Hygienist and get your teeth cleaned at least twice a year. READ MORE
What are the early signs for gum disease?
Hello! Gum disease is characterized by swollen, red, and puffy gums. The gums may bleed when brushing and often from flossing infrequently. The cause is usually from a build-up of plaque on the teeth that hardens over time and attracts bacteria that attacks the gums. The best way to get rid of it is to have your teeth professionally cleaned and then brushing and flossing at least twice a day after the cleaning. The white spots may be a sign of gum disease if they are accompanied by the red swollen gums. The white spots may be normal if they are on pink healthy gum tissue. It is impossible to know for sure without an examination from your dentist. Bottom line, if your gums hurt and bleed whenever you decide to floss, you probably have gingivitis. The first and only reversible stage of gum disease. Get your teeth cleaned as soon as possible if it has been over 6 months. READ MORE
