Teeth That Last a Lifetime

Monday, April 01, 2013

Not so many years ago people expected to lose some, or all, of their teeth as they grew older. Today it is easy to have teeth that last a lifetime!

New advances in understanding how tooth decay and gum disease work, along with astonishing new types of care to treat these problems make it more likely that your teeth will be with you always.

Keeping teeth that last a lifetime begins at home. Good home care is essential to good oral health. This means brushing twice a day, every day with a fluoride toothpaste and flossing ever single day - no skipping! Flossing is important because it cleans the surfaces between the teeth that your toothbrush can't reach. If you have a hard time managing regular floss you can try floss picks that are small plastic handles with floss attached or you could try a water flosser like a Waterpik. Of course a healthy diet, avoiding soft drinks and remaining smoke-free go along with a healthy lifestyle and a healthy smile.

Your next step toward your forever smile is a regularly scheduled visit to your dental hygienist. A professional dental cleaning not only keeps your teeth and gums healthy but good oral health has been linked to better overall health as we age. Rates of heart disease, diabetes, dementia and even some cancers have been linked to poor oral health. This visit also allows your dentist to keep tabs on the health of your teeth and to catch any small problems before they become big ones. People of all ages can develop tooth decay - it is not only for kids!

If you haven't been keeping a regular schedule of oral health care it is not too late to start! We can get your smile healthy and help you keep it that way. Just contact mercury-free cosmetic dentist Dr. Kenneth A. Mogell in Boca Raton at 561-394-9000 today to schedule your appointment.
