How can I prevent tooth decay and gum disease?

Good oral hygiene starts at home, though it needs to be supplemented by regular visits to our Comfort Dental.  There are important steps you can take to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Brush at least twice a day using a soft bristled toothbrush and an ADA-accepted fluoride toothpaste. Be sure to replace your toothbrush every couple of  months. Flossing is also vital to the health of your teeth and gums and the prevention of gum disease.  

Does fluoride help prevent tooth decay?

Yes, fluoride will strengthen your teeth, offering  them protection against tooth decay.

What causes sensitive teeth?

Sensitive teeth are caused by a wide range of factors. The porous part of the tooth, is the section that registers pain. Dentin can become exposed by fractured or chipped teeth or by teeth injured by clenching or grinding.

How can sensitive teeth be cared for?

Pain from tooth sensitivity can be sporadic, but if you experience constant pain, you may have a more serious problem.

There are many viable treatment plans for sensitive teeth that include:

• A soft bristled toothbrush to prevent irritation of your gums
• Toothpaste specifically designed to insulate the nerve that registers pain
