Make Sure You Stick To A Smile-Friendly Morning Routine
Your morning routine can set your mood for the day. Some people are natural early risers who make the most of their time before their responsibilities need to be addressed, while others struggle to fully awaken unless they enjoy every minute of sleep available to them. No matter what your start to the day usually looks like, it should include time spent cleaning your smile. When we sleep, our bodies reduce saliva production, which allows any oral bacteria present in our mouths to multiply with less interference. If you frequently wake up with “morning breath,” this can be why. Cleaning your teeth thoroughly when your day begins fights this buildup. You can also protect your teeth by making smart choices at the breakfast table and limiting your sugar intake. Remember that our Celina, TX dentist’s office is happy to offer tips and guidance on daily care when you come in for routine dental appointments. (more…)
Let Your Dentist Know You Have Concerns About A Restoration
Once you have a dental filling or dental crown put in place, the tooth protected by your restoration should remain safe. They do more than just avoid future problems with infection or injury – fillings and crowns make it possible for you to safely apply bite pressure to a tooth, which means you can stick to natural biting and chewing functions. If you start to feel that your restored tooth is no longer able to do this, or if the tooth begins to feel uncomfortable, you should let your dentist know. When a filling or crown breaks, loosens, or becomes lost, the supported tooth is vulnerable to problems. At our Celina, TX dentist’s office, we can take a look at an older restoration, or one that has been damaged, and provide a dependable replacement. (more…)

Make Sure You Protect Yourself Against Gingivitis
When you brush and floss your teeth, make sure you do not overlook your gum line! People who rush through their preventive dental care routine, or those who are not consistent about their habits, can unknowingly allow plaque to form at the base of teeth, which can eventually lead to the presence of tartar deposits. While plaque and tartar increase your risk for tooth decay, the buildup of bacteria at the base of teeth will also make you vulnerable to gingivitis.

When patients show signs of poor periodontal health during their dental exams with their Celina, TX dentist’s office, we are able to recommend a special periodontal cleaning to fight an infection.
