If Your Teeth Could Talk…

I hope that this information sounds familiar to our patients. If you have friends or family who have not seen a dentist in over a year, please encourage them to do so in 2012. The benefit can greatly exceed the expense.

Sugar Obsession

Expert Offers Tips To Battle Sugar Obsession – Dr. Bicuspid.com

For those interested, this article is especially helpful to parents of young children. We strongly recommend 100% xylitol sweetened mints. Xylitol seems to not only “not promote tooth decay;” but also to be potentially effective in inhibiting it. Xylitol-sweetened gum is also available; but the opinion of our team is that gum is “wasted energy” on the joints of the jaw. Either is superior to products sweetened with sugar, other natural sweeteners, or artificial sweeteners. We welcome your questions regarding healthy dental habits.

Tooth Decay, Soda, and Energy Drinks

admin — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 05:53:50 +0000

Soda and energy drinks (even diet) can be destructive to your teeth. If you consume either, we recommend taking a few steps to reduce your risk of tooth decay:
1. drink through a straw
2. drink water after consuming the beverage
3. brush your teeth afterward, but wait 30 minutes before doing so -enamel suffers less damage when brushing occurs after teeth have had time to mount their own defense against acidic erosion
