🐣Many parents mistakenly think that because bab

🐣Many parents mistakenly think that because baby teeth are only there for a few years, it’s not important to try very hard to keep them cavity-free.

🦷Yes, baby teeth will eventually be replaced with permanent teeth, but healthy baby teeth are better for chewing, talking, and guiding the permanent teeth into place than cavity-filled baby teeth. Some baby teeth are present until your child is 12 years-old.

💕When Is the Right Time to Start Flossing?
Flossing your kids teeth for them starting age two and a half is a good start. Kids take a while to develop the dexterity and hand-eye coordination they need to be able to floss their own teeth. Kids need help brushing and flossing until ages 8-10 y.o.

🦷Parents demonstrating good brushing and flossing habits is an essential part of kids growing up with those habits.More than anything else, consistency is key.

🪥HAVING HEALTHY SMILES isn’t just about brushing twice a day. It’s also about flossing, Do you floss your kids teeth?

🪥Did you know? Maintaining good oral health is not just about your teeth and gums, but also about your body's health!

🦷Research shows that poor oral hygiene can contribute to various health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems.

😄🌎WORLD SMILE DAY!

Do you want a whiter smile? Whitening -how does it work?

👀Let’s take a look at how teeth whitening works, how to do it safely, and what you should know about its side effects
Teeth whitening options range from toothpaste with whitening ingredients to professional teeth whitening sessions overseen by your dentist.

🦷Some whitening products aim to actually remove extrinsic stains from your teeth, while others simply bleach intrinsic and extrinsic stains so that they appear lighter in color.

🛍️Many over-the-counter (OTC) and in-office treatment options use hydrogen peroxide to break down and minimize stains on your teeth. Carbamide peroxide, another oxidizing ingredient, is also often used.

🦷These chemicals can be aggressive and irritating to your body in higher doses. That’s why it’s extra important that you use teeth whitening products as directed.

🦷Talk with your dentist about any sensitivity you may experience after using whitening treatments at home or when receiving them at the dentist’s office. If a product causes tooth pain or redness or bleeding in your gums, stop using it and consult your dentist.

📸I’m sure you’ve heard the expression a pic

📸I’m sure you’ve heard the expression a picture speaks a thousand words? It applies to dentistry as well.

🦷What if I told you that your amalgam filling on the upper right molar needle to be replaced because it was leaking and pulling away from the edges. What if I used words like the Mesial ridge of your filling is cracked or Your crown is defective? What does that mean?

🤳Now what if I showed you the photos above, the words might not make sense but often the picture does, or at least it allows us to show you what we see and what it means.
This is where the Intraoral camera comes in. It is a small camera that allows us to take photos in your mouth.

🦷Does your dentist have an intraoral camera?
