How’s Your Daily Flossing Going?
How are your flossing habits? Hopefully you didn’t just respond with, “What flossing habits?” Removing the plaque from between your teeth that your toothbrush inevitably leaves behind is a significant factor in maintaining a truly healthy, clean smile free of oral diseases like gingivitis and tooth decay. You may assume that as long as you’re running floss between your teeth each day, you’re doing enough. However, that’s simply not the case. When it comes to effective flossing habits, frequency and technique are equally important if your flossing is to make an impact on your preventive care.

I Have A Cavity! Now What?
If you have a cavity, it has formed as the result of plaque. Unfortunately, this extremely sticky substance will attach itself to your teeth on a daily basis. The bacteria within plaque (plaque is full of bacteria) feed on carbohydrates in your mouth, which they turn into acids during digestion. Those acids are delivered directly onto your teeth, which result in the weakening of your tooth’s outermost layer called enamel. With enough exposure to these acids, a softened area of your tooth will cave in, forming a cavity. The good news? We offer restorative treatments to address your cavity, so you can enjoy restored comfort and daily function. Ready to learn more about what will happen with your tooth?
