We recommend that you floss once a day. Whether you do it first thing in the morning, right after your lunch, or at bedtime doesn't really matter. The important thing is to fit it into your schedule diligently as you do with eating meals or brushing your teeth. #DrDinaLebowitz #BramaleaPeriodontics

Replacing your missing teethwith dental implants can prevent bone loss from occurring, allowing your jaw to keep its natural shape and appearance. Dental implants mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth. When you have dental implants placed into your mouth, they integrate to your jawbone and stabilize both it and your surrounding teeth. Dental implants also provide your jawbone with the constant stress and stimulation it needs to maintain itself. This stimulation ...is something that a basic crown and bridge solution cannot provide. With a dental implant, you keep your jaw healthy and maintain the structural integrity of your whole set of teeth. #DrDinaLebowitz #BramaleaPeriodontics

Have you heard of mask mouth? With all the mask wearing to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, some people have noticed that they have not been pleased with what they are smelling while sporting a mask.

Wash your reusable mask regularly! Stay hydrated! Practice good daily oral hygiene at home! Brush your teeth twice daily and floss once a day. Clean your tongue. See your dentist regularly! Keep your scheduled maintenance appointments. Use a mouth rinse! Cut down the sugary snacks! Breathe through your nose! #DrDinaLebowitz #BramaleaPeriodontics

Still having sensitivity? Gum recession is one of the leading causes of tooth sensitivity. Brushing too often or too hard, long term gum disease (gingivitis or periodontal disease), clenching habits and even aging can contribute to gum recession. As the gums recede, the underlying dentin can gradually become exposed over time and becomes very sensitive. Give our office a call. We can help. ... . . #DrDinaLebowitz #BramaleaPeriodontics See more

Signs of Gum Disease Periodontal (GUM) disease begins as inflammation of the gums. This may manifest as bleeding gums during flossing, brushing, or even eating.... Pain can, but usually does not accompany gum disease until it reaches an advanced stage. Recession of the gums is also a common presentation and may include sensitivity of the affected teeth to cold air, food, or liquids. Bad breath and loosening of teeth is another sign of periodontal disease and should be discussed with your dentist or periodontist as soon as possible. #DrDinaLebowitz #BramaleaPeriodontics

A link has been proven between control of blood sugar (glycemic control) in diabetics and periodontal disease. Patients who have gum disease have worse control over their diabetes then those with healthy gums. Unsurprisingly, the reverse is also true; patients with diabetes are more apt to have periodontal disease (and it is often more severe). Regardless of your blood sugar levels, do not skip your regular dental visit and get your gums checked today! #bramaleaperiodontics #DrDinaLebowitz #gumsanddiabetes #diabetes

Did you know , when you have missing teeth, you lose the natural support to your facial structure that your teeth provide. Over time, this can change the shape of your face and can make you appear older. Dental Implants can help restore the shape of your face and mouth and provide that missing support if your natural teeth are no longer there. . . #DrDinaLebowitz #BramaleaPeriodontics #smilesforlife #dentalimplants #restore #dentalrestoration #didyouknow #healthysmile #healthcare #dentalcare #oralhealth #smile

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

Professional dental cleanings are important for removing plaque and tartar buildup. . . No matter how astutely you brush at home, there are likely some hard-to-reach places on your teeth where plaque has an easier time settling and proliferating. If not removed, plaque can begin hardening into a sticky substance known as tartar in just 24 hours. .... . #DrDinaLebowitz #BramaleaPeriodontics See more

Did you know that your jawbone needs the stimulation from your teeth connecting with each other, like when you chew, in order to maintain its mass? When you have missing teeth and that stimulation is not present, it is common to lose bone mass in your jaw as a result. Dental Implants are the only tooth replacement treatment that generally helps maintain bone volume in the area of the missing teeth being replaced.... #DrDinaLebowitz #BramaleaPeriodontics
