Personalized Homecare Can Help Improve You Oral Health!

July 21, 2021|Homecare, Preventative Care

 

A misconception about proper oral hygiene is that patients often think that if they are brushing and flossing, they have a disease-free mouth. Unfortunately, obtaining optimal oral health is not so straight forward. Your home care needs to be personalized to your specific needs. 

Many times, when we are brushing our teeth or flossing, we are thinking about what we have to do next with our busy schedules. Homecare can become very monotonous and what happens is we can be completely skipping over some areas in our mouth. 

Next time you are brushing try and give your full attention to the task at hand. (it’s only two minutes!)  You want your tooth brush bristles to reach all the way to the gumline. Plaque tends to accumulate in this area, which leads to red, puffy, sore gums. When it comes to flossing proper technique can greatly improve your oral health. Using the C-Shaped flossing method ensures that the entire side of the tooth is cleaned. When you wrap the floss in around the side of the tooth this also helps strengthen the gums. The stronger your gums are the less likely you are to experience sensitivity due to root exposure from receding gums. 

We look forward to seeing you at your next dental hygiene visit and discussing your personalized homecare routine!

    If it's been a while since your last dental cleaning, you may have “gum disease” which is also called “periodontal disease.” If left untreated the sticky film of bacteria (plaque) can cause bone loss and eventually teeth can become loose (among other things!).  Read more about Periodontal Disease here.

    Oral Cancer Screening

    Dental exams are the most important means of detecting oral cancer. When you come in for your dental check-ups, not only are we checking your teeth, but we are also examining the entire oral cavity.

    Crown and Bridge

    crown veneer

    A crown is a dental prosthesis used to fix a broken or decayed tooth where a filling would not be adequate to repair the tooth.  A fixed bridge is fabricated to replace a missing tooth, and is anchored off the adjacent teeth for support. Different materials can be used for crowns and bridges, including porcelain, gold, or porcelain fused to metal.

    Crown Lengthening

    Crown Lengthening is done for restorative dentistry and to improve the esthetics of your gum line. This procedure adjusts the gum and bone level to expose more of the tooth so it can be restored. Sometimes crown lengthening is done to improve a "gummy" smile because the teeth appear short. 

    We work hard to provide you with an amazing dental experience. We strive to be the best dentists & dental professionals in Lakeland.

To ensure you maintain great oral health, your personal oral hygiene routine needs this same level of quality. We help you establish a dental hygiene routine to keep your teeth healthy and white.

    Your teeth are not the only important part of your mouth. Your gums are essential to oral hygiene as well. We can provide periodontal cleanings and treatment, or refer you to one of our recommended specialists.

    Implants

    Dental implants replace missing teeth by placing a titanium screw into the bone and anchoring a tooth or teeth to the implant. Implants can replace a single tooth or multiple teeth. Replacement of teeth with implants allows for high functionality with long term stability. Ask your dentist if you are a candidate for implants.
