Flossing is an important part of a proper oral health routine. Here are some of our favorite facts about floss to share with you! 1 Flossing removes food debris and plaque that is wedged in the hard to reach areas between teeth. This plaque buildup can lead to cavities and cause bad breath. 2 Irregular flossing can lead to bleeding sensitive gums, but keep flossing! If you floss consistently, the bleeding will eventually subside.... 3 Brushing only cleans around 70% of the surface area of teeth, leaving the cracks and spaces between teeth uncleaned. Flossing helps scrub the remaining spots, and gets teeth 100% clean! 4 People with braces can floss too! Floss threaders and proxabrushes are great ways to helps people wearing braces remove food debris from between their teeth, and stuck in their brackets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bad Breath Q: I often seem to have noticeably bad breath not just in the morning. How unusual is this problem? A: Persistent bad breath, or halitosis, is a very common complaint that is thought to affect millions of people, including perhaps 25 to 50 percent of middle aged and older adults. It’s the driving force behind the market for breath mints and mouth rinses, with an estimated value of $3 billion annually. It’s also the third mos...t frequent reason people give for seeing the dentist (after tooth decay and gum disease). Q: Can bad breath come from somewhere other than the mouth? A: Most of the time, bad breath does originate in the mouth; its characteristic smell is often caused by volatile sulfur compounds which have a foul odor. However, it can also come from the nose, possibly as a result of a sinus infection or a foreign body. In some cases, pus from the tonsils can cause halitosis. There are also a few diseases which sometimes give your breath an unpleasant odor. Q: What exactly causes the mouth to smell bad? A: In a word: bacteria. Millions of these microorganisms (some of which are harmful, and some helpful) coat the lining of the mouth and the tongue. They thrive on tiny food particles, remnants of dead skin cells, and other material. When they aren’t kept under control with good oral hygiene or when they begin multiplying in inaccessible areas, like the back of the tongue or under the gums they may start releasing the smells of decaying matter. Other issues can also contribute to a malodorous mouth. These include personal habits (such as tobacco and alcohol use), consumption of strong-smelling foods (onions and cheese, for example), and medical conditions, like persistent dry mouth (xerostomia). Q: What can I do about my bad breath? A: Those breath mints are really just a cover-up. Your best bet is to come in to the dental office for an examination. We have several ways of finding out exactly what’s causing your bad breath, and then treating it. Depending on what’s best for your individual situation, we may offer oral hygiene instruction, a professional cleaning, or treatment for gum disease or tooth decay.

1: Incisors are the first 4 teeth in the front center of the mouth on top or bottom. These are the initial teeth that you obtain as an adult and their main function is to assist in biting food. 2: Canines are the next teeth that develop they are the most pointed and are the sharpest used for tearing food apart. They also function as a guidepost for the rest of your teeth.... 3: Premolars start where you feel the initial flat biting surface in your mouth. They are smaller than your big molar teeth but play a major role in tearing and crushing up food. 4: Molars are the largest teeth in the mouth. They grind, tear, and crush food with the largest flat biting surface. These teeth are essential in the chewing process and play a role in maintaining your facial structure.

Why is dental health during pregnancy important?

This is called pregnancy gingivitis or gum disease.... - Gingivitis can lead to more serious periodontal (gum and bone) disease without good oral care. - Poor dental health may affect the health of your developing baby. Research shows there may be a link between periodontal disease and having a pre-term or low-birth weight baby.
