Have a smiley Sunday!

March 6 is National Dentist’s Day, a day to celebrate the men and women who keep our chompers chomping, our gnashers gnashing, and our whites pearly. Dentists are doctors who specialize in oral health. It’s their job to prevent, diagnose, and treat oral diseases, monitor the growth of our teeth and jaws, and perform surgical procedures on our teeth and mouths! Dental health is integral to our overall health, so today we salute them not just for keeping our teeth looking good, but keeping our bodies in tip-top shape.

Maysa’s Fun Birthday Party The weather held well for her

An apple a day.....Keeps the dentist away? People have been asserting that an apple a day keeps the doctor away since the 19th century. While it may not necessarily be true that those who eat apples never have to see a doctor, apples certainly have great health benefits for our bodies! Did you know they can even be good for our teeth? Let’s take a look at what the research says It’s widely thought that chewing a crisp, fresh apple can help brush away plaque on our teeth. ...We’re not too sure on this one, as some studies show a higher plaque content on teeth after eating an apple. At the same time, there is evidence to suggest some polyphenols in apples can lower the ability of cavity-causing bacteria to adhere to teeth. Further, some studies have shown that the antioxidants in apples can help prevent periodontal disease. Apples even contain a (very) small amount of fluoride. This is worth noting, as fluoride is so important in helping prevent cavities. Lastly, the act of chewing an apple stimulates saliva production. Saliva helps wash away food debris and bacteria. Remember, though, apples contain sugar and acid so it’s best not to go overboard with them. You can even swish with water after eating one to wash away some of the sugar left behind. As the science continues to look into how apples affect our teeth, one thing we know is true: regular dental visits, along with daily tooth brushing and flossing, is your best defense against tooth decay!

Dental Care Tips During the Winter to Avoid Teeth Pain.... ***Try Different Toothpaste Use the toothpaste that contains fluoride or try one that is specifically formulated for sensitive teeth. ***Reduce the Amount of Acids and Sugar in Your Diet Acids and sugar can damage the surface of your teeth and break down the delicate enamel that protects them. Your teeth are frequently under attack by acids, but the good news is this damage is constantly being reversed. Acids leec...h minerals from the enamel through a process called demineralization. Fortunately, the natural process of remineralization replaces those minerals and strengthens the teeth all over again and your saliva is a key player. Saliva contains minerals such as calcium and phosphates to help repair the teeth. Fluoride is another mineral that helps repair weakened enamel. However, replacing lost minerals can only do so much to prevent the effects of sugar on teeth if you eat lots of sweets and starches throughout the day. ***Breathe in Through Your Nose Breathing through your nose prevents the cold air from hitting your teeth while exhaling through your mouth allows the air from the lungs to keep them warm. ***Clean Your Toothbrush Keeping your toothbrush clean and replacing it every few months, reduces your exposure to bacteria that could eventually lead to gingivitis and tooth decay.
