5 summer tips for healthy teeth This summer, stay hydrated and healthy. But think carefully when you choose your beverage some drinks can increase your risk of tooth decay. Drink water - Keep your mouth moist by drinking water throughout the day. This helps wash away plaque-causing bacteria and can even improve your breath.... Choose tap- Fluoridated tap water strengthens your enamel, making your teeth more resistant to decay. Skip the bubbles - The acid in carbonated drinks can wear down your enamel. Use a straw - If you drink acidic beverages, reduce their contact with your teeth by using a straw and finishing the drink quickly, instead of sipping over a long period of time. Try tea - Tea contains compounds that suppress bacteria, slowing down tooth decay and gum disease.

How important is proper brushing technique? When people don't practice proper dental hygiene, bacteria in the mouth forms plaque on the teeth. These bacteria may cause your gums to become inflamed, which results in red, swollen, or bleeding gums.

How long do dental crowns take? Crown placement is typically completed in two visits. Give Gentle Dental a call at (604) 434-3020 to see if dental crowns are the right fit for you.

Help make sure your small child doesn't develop baby bottle tooth decay by never putting them down for naps or bed with a bottle of juice, milk, or formula. If you must put your child down with a bottle, make sure it is only water!

Brush for two minutes every time and use a soft-bristled toothbrush. Don't brush too aggressively which can harm gum and tooth enamel. Brush at least twice a day will help you from getting cavities and gum disease.

For a healthy smile, you must practice good oral hygiene every day. Brushing after meals, using antimicrobial mouthwash, and flossing at least once per day helps to keep these disease-causing bacteria from reproducing in your mouth, and causing tooth decay.
