KEEPING HEALTHY INSIDE AND OUT FROM 1 TO 100

Mira SAYS!

Brush twice a day for at least two minutes each time.

Be considerate to all your teeth, don't ignore any tooth while flossing.

Exercise while brushing and flossing.

Always be aware of what you put in your mouth. Healthy foods and snacks keep your teeth and body happy.

Smoking is definitely a downer for your teeth and your health.

Piercings cause infections so try not to pierce any part of your mouth.

Be sure to see your dentist every 3-6 months to keep healthy and happy.

TOOTH EROSION - CAUSES AND PREVENTION

Melissa O. SAYS! 

Tooth Erosion (enamel erosion, dental erosion)

When acids contact the teeth it may eat away or soften the tooth. The teeth become translucent and the cusps of the teeth start to wear out. This can cause extreme sensitivity on the teeth to hot, cold and brushing.

Causes of tooth erosion:

Acidic foods and drinks
Eating disorders
Acid Reflux
Aggressive brushing

How to prevent tooth erosion:

Maintain a healthy diet.
Reduce the intake of acidic drinks or food.
Drink juices through a straw to minimize contact with teeth.
Do not sip on acidic drinks throughout the day Example: pop, juice, ice tea, sports drinks or wine.
Rinse mouth with water after acidic foods/drinks.
Use a soft or extra soft toothbrush and delay brushing for an hour after the intake of acidic foods/drinks.

REPLACE YOUR TOOTHBRUSH AFTER A COLD OR THE FLU

Mira SAY!

Although we are suppose to replace our toothbrush every 3 months, now that the cold and flu season has started be sure to replace it after you have an episode of the flu, cold or any other viral infections. Notorious microbes can implant themselves on the toothbrush bristles leading to re-infection.
