Typically, impacted wisdom teeth are categorized into a few commonly found forms:

• Mesioangular impaction, where the tooth is angled forward, accounts for half of all impacted wisdom teeth.
• Vertical impaction is also common, happening when a wisdom tooth does not fully erupt through the gum.
• Distoangular impaction and Horizontal impaction are the least common, being seen in only a small percentage of all wisdom teeth. These types of impaction are when the tooth is angled backwards or sideways, respectively.

Because of the abundant levels of bacteria in the mouth, it often leads to pericoronitis, an infection of the gum mostly occuring in young people. When a tooth partially erupts from the gum, it exposes a flap of tissue that can trap bacteria and lead to infection. Keeping up with oral hygiene is extra important while wisdom teeth are breaking through the gums.

Generally, wisdom teeth are extracted quickly and painlessly. For many people, wisdom teeth will threaten to be impacted and change the bite or position of other teeth, and are generally considered to be unneeded. Others may not have wisdom tooth problems, or may not grow the teeth at all.

Vitamins A, C, and D are vital to the health of your teeth, both for protecting and building them.
Vitamins A and D help to maintain and develop strong and healthy teeth. The antioxidant vitamin C helps to keep connective tissues and the gums healthy, helping the healing process of scapes or cuts in the mouth. Calcium is also important for the teeth, creating a strong jawbone and foundation for the teeth. In order to keep up your oral health, make certain that your diet has some sources of these vitamins, or foods that contain them.

The following is a list of common sources of vitamins A, C, and D:

• Vitamin A: Find it in dark green vegetables, eggs, liver, and fortified dairy products. Also sweet potatoes, cheddar cheese, pumpkin, cantaloupe melon, apricot, and papaya.
• Vitamin C: Find it in oranges, spinach, raspberries, gooseberries, plums, kale, garlic, and raw cabbage. Animal sources include raw liver, raw oysters, and cod roe. Vitamin C supplements are also an easy option.
• Vitamin D: Find it in catfish, mackeral, tuna, eggs, and fish or vegetable vitamin D supplements. It is also added to many calcium supplements, as these vitamins are harder to find in common foods than vitamins C and A.
• Calcium: Found in milk, soymilk (when calcium is added), nuts such as almonds, and sesame seeds. Because dairy is the most common calcium and vitamin D source, vegans or those who avoid dairy due to lactose intolerance may need to include blackstrap molasses, beans, figs, quinoa, collard greens, or okra.

Additionally, foods containing lots of sugar are most often not great for the teeth. Sticky substances like chocolates or caramels easily get stuck to tooth surfaces for extended periods of time, breaking down the tooth surface and causing cavities.

However, this biofilm does not stay harmless for very long. At first, the biofilm is soft enough to scrape or brush off, but after around 10 days sitting on the teeth, plaque becomes calculus, or tartar. Tartar is more solid and hard to remove, and while plaque and tartar are on the teeth, different processes and reactions created by the bacteria result in acid that may cause cavities. Tooth decay is the primary danger of plaque and tartar sitting on the teeth.
Saliva makes for an ideal environment for bacterial growth, acting as a pH buffer and keeping the pH around 7. Nutrients are also present in saliva, giving the bacteria food. To help prevent cavities and the damage from plaque buildup, brushing your teeth is essential- saliva cannot penetrate the surface of the biofilm to reduce the acidity.

The following is a short list of oral hygiene habits to reduce acid buildup, plaque, tartar, and cavities:

• Brush your teeth (for plaque removal)
• Floss
• Cleaning your tongue
• Gum hygiene
• Foods containing beneficial nutrients, like calcium, fluoride, and phosphate.
• Chewing sugar-free gum after eating.

Regular tooth cleanings and checkups will remove tartar and plaque buildup better than you can at home. Getting a dentist’s cleaning two times a year is recommended for sufficient removal of built up tartar. The application of a fluoride treatment is a common dental treatment that will help strengthen your teeth.

Whether you think you have a cavity or want to ask about teeth cleanings, call your Dentist at 123-456-7890.

Grinding your teeth may produce the following symptoms:

A constant, pounding headache
Tooth erosion, cracked teeth
Fractured or loosened teeth
Soreness of the gums, teeth, or jaws

Since it is more difficult to stop teeth grinding whilst sleeping other issues may arise.
Symptoms can lead to temporomandibular joint problems (TMJ) after they affect the muscles and other structures around the jaw. Symptoms can also lead to worn down teeth, a misaligned bite, or any of a large list of jaw-related problems.

Treatments for teeth grinding seek to reduce pain, prevent damage to the teeth, and reduce the time spent grinding or clenching the teeth. Mouth guards or appliances, such as splints, are recommended for the prevention of permanent damage to the teeth.

If you are experiencing any of the signs or symptoms of Bruxism (tooth grinding or clenching), call your Dentist at 123-456-7890 immediately and schedule an appointment. There are many options readily available to resolve the issue, both for prevention and repair. Mouthguards can aid in preventing nighttime tooth chewing, while surgery for crowns or bridges may be needed for teeth that have been severely injured.

While you’re waiting for your appointment, immediate fixes to ease pain include curtailing alcohol and caffeine, applying ice or warm water to alleviate soreness, relaxing and avoiding stress, and warming your face (with a warm washcloth or steam) to relax the jaw muscles before sleeping.

Fortunately, modern medicine has made a number of significant advances in the past few decades. For most conditions, a patient can come to a dental office and not require extensive follow-up treatments. This makes it possible, under normal circumstances, for people to get what ever kind of care they need, no matter where they live.

It does get a little complicated if you need very specialized treatment, Particularly the kind of treatment that may require a number of visits. Still, things are not what they used to be and the technological advancements are so significant that all but the most difficult cases can be resolved. Sit down for a full consultation with your dentist, even if the consultation needs to happen on the phone. Ask every question you need answered and don’t stop asking until you feel completely satisfied.

We believe that life is better with great teeth and that you deserve a great smile. To that end, we will do everything we can to help you get that.

Yours sincerely,

One of the challenges that often surfaces when we require more than an average visit to the dentist is the intimidation factor. Many of us are afraid or stressed out about expressing a different need. This can also apply to something that we want such as a cosmetic change, a better smile or even something as simple as whiter teeth. How intimidating can it be if we need a complicated implant or to have our receding gums treated through oral surgery?

At the end of the day you deserve to have the best possible care for what ever your needs may be. In that regard, sometimes you may truly need a specialist with a higher level of training than your average family dentist and you should never feel afraid to ask questions and figure out what will give you the best possible results. We hope you found this video helpful and that you always receive the best care for you, whether you need a specialist or not.

Yours sincerely,

The good news is that there are many options and your dentist can explain the choices in detail to help you determine what is right for you. At the end of the day, being properly informed will help you make the best possible choice–and that is exactly what we want for you.

Well, absurd or not, it happens all the time. Want to find out why? Watch this short video.

Although this may seem silly, dentists are often like medical doctors. Their practices fill up, you do not have the infrastructure to support additional patients and therefore tell their front office staff to stop accepting new patients. Then, as openings begin to become available, they start accepting patients again. The more specialized the dentist is, the more often this happens. Dentists who practice sedation dentistry, cosmetic dentistry and other advanced surgical procedures are more likely to fall into this group.

This is generally because they are only able to see a small number of patients each day. It is important for you to know whether or not your dentist of choice is accepting new patients before you spend any time speaking with their office. We hope you found this video valuable and that you can find the right dentist for your needs.

Yours sincerely,

Watch this video that will give you an overview of existing amalgams and what you need to know to protect your teeth.

A common practice with dental amalgams for many years was to use a mixture of mercury with another metal. The reason for this generally dealt with the fact that the cost was relatively low, patient suffered few side effects and these amalgams lasted for a long time. As various other techniques have evolved new restorative materials have been created that offer you, as a patient, a number of other options. You will want to consider such things as appearance, durability, and ease of treatment.

It is important to know that whatever you do to your mouth will not wear out in a few years and require additional treatment. The best way to become fully informed is to have a consultation with your dentist so that you can truly understand all of your options. Cost may be a factor as well and if you are on a budget you will want to know the price of the initial treatment as well as any potential maintenance.

Watch this short video where we will share with you the full truth about amalgams. It’s information that you truly want to know!

Many people operate under the assumption that if their teeth wear out, the next step is to get dentures. You may have many other options–another common notion is that as teeth wear out we can replace them with implants. That is true, though not always the best alternative. Some people think that a crown will solve the problem. Maybe and maybe not.

The good news is that the options are very varied and you have multiple choices. You can even correct an overbite later in life and not suffer from any discomfort while you are eating. The best person to discuss this with is your dentist who will examine your situation, offer you some options and let you decide what is best for you.
