Dental health starts in the...kitchen? You read that correctly! Of course, brushing, flossing and regular dental visits are important, but they aren't the only things to consider when it comes to keeping your pearly whites in tiptop shape. Most people understand that they should limit the sweets and candy they take in, but beyond sugary foods, what should and shouldn't you be consuming? Here

Taste Loss: Could It Be a Dental Problem? Most adults know that poor oral hygiene results in cavities and gum disease, but did you know that it can also cause taste loss? From salty to sweet, spicy to savory – failing to take proper care of your mouth can impede your ability to taste and enjoy just about any type of food set before you. Dentists call this condition "dysguesia", and if you

Your teeth are supposed to last a lifetime. But some common habits could be reducing the durability of your teeth without you even realizing it. By recognizing the habits that can compromise the structure and health of your smile, you can take steps to protect it. 1, Avoiding Regular Dental Care Many individuals skip regular dental cleanings or avoid getting necessary procedures due to anxiety,

What if your dentist told you that x-rays can be done in a single sweep, expose you to less radiation than a round trip flight from Paris to Tokyo, and result in a complete, 3-D picture of your mouth in as little as a few seconds? For anyone who has ever had a mouthful of bitewings, it's a dream come true, thanks to a relatively new technology called "cone beam radiography". If you've never

The verdict is in: electric toothbrushes are here to stay, and they mean business for your teeth! By now, you've probably seen them on the shelves, on TV or in magazines. Dentists endorse them, and most are ADA-approved - but if you swear by your manual toothbrush, these benefits just might convince you otherwise.

There's no way around it: the time has come for your wisdom teeth to be extracted.  According to the horror stories out there, you are in for nothing but non-stop agony, but you don't have to share the same fate!

When it comes to taking care of your teeth and keeping your smile looking great, your toothbrush plays an essential role.  But, how much thought do you actually give to your toothbrush when selecting one or caring for it over time?  Probably not much! Choosing the right toothbrush, caring for it, and knowing when to replace it are all essential components of great oral health.

Have a dental appointment scheduled sometime soon? Sit back, relax and get ready to open your mouth – but not just to have it examined!

It can freshen up your breath faster than brushing, but does mouthwash really make a big difference when it comes to your oral health? You may be surprised to find that looks-or in this case, smells-can be deceiving!

It's undeniable that fluoride has played a major role in the decline of dental cavities in the United States.  However what isn't so clear to many parents is whether or not fluoride treatments are safe and/or beneficial for children. After all, children receive fluoride on a regular basis from many different types of foods and even water.  Through these sources alone, minerals lost due

How are you doing with your New Year's resolutions?  Are you still watching your diet?  Keep in mind, having a sugar-free label does not make a product tooth-friendly. Sugar-free beverages and candies can be as damaging as those containing sugar.

I recently read a published article which considered orthodontic treatment a luxury that only a few should consider.  While most think that putting braces on their kids’ teeth or themselves is purely cosmetic, orthodontics treats much more.  The mouth is a very unstable place.  The misconception that teeth are held still in bone is far from the reality.  Teeth are in a

As we reach the end of the year, we would like to remind you to take advantage of any dental insurance benefits that you may have left before they expire. While treatment is never dictated by insurance, if you have treatment that you have not scheduled, or are experiencing any dental concerns at all — now is a great time to come in before the year is over. Don't let your insurance company

Gingival hypertrophy also known as gingival overgrowth or enlargements are manifestations of gingivitis, which is an inflammation of the gums.  When left untreated, this can lead to advanced periodontal disease, tooth decay and the eventual loss of teeth.  Since this disease is painless, most patients are not even aware that it exists. Much of the cause of this disease can be traced

Have you ever wondered why you have to pay so much money even though you have dental insurance? What most people don’t quite understand is that dental insurance is very different from medical insurance, at least yet in 2015.
