How Happy Are You with Your Smile?

By admin | Blog | Comments are Closed | 18 September, 2019 | 0

When you meet someone new, your smile is one of the first things they notice, but it takes a bit of dedication to have a healthy and attractive smile. We’ve listed a few easy tips to help improve your dental health and the appearance of your smile.

  1. Floss every day, as flossing removes plaque and food debris between teeth and just underneath your gum line, where a toothbrush cannot reach. Daily flossing prevents gum disease and tooth decay.
  2. Book twice-yearly visits to our hygienist here at One Smile. Routine dental cleanings help to keep your teeth and gums in great shape, removing plaque and tartar buildup that can otherwise cause gum disease. Also, having your teeth cleaned professionally leaves them looking sparkly and your mouth feeling beautifully fresh.
  3. Quit smoking as it stains your teeth and increases your risk of developing gum disease. Smoking gives you bad breath and is terrible for your health on many levels.
  4. Reduce your consumption of coffee, tea and red wine as these drinks can stain your pearly whites. Otherwise, drinking through a straw can reduce the staining effect on your teeth.
  5. Drink plenty of water as it’s great for your smile and body.

Spring Clean Your Oral Health Routine

By admin | Blog | Comments are Closed | 18 September, 2019 | 0

If spring leaves you with the urge to clean, think about spring cleaning your oral health routine too. It’s an excellent time of year to book your regular checkups and hygiene appointments and especially as the summer months can be busy for many people. Regularly seeing our dentist should be part of your preventative dental care routine and is an easy way to maintain a healthy mouth. Some of the advantages of preventative dental care are outlined below.

Reducing Plaque

Regular dental visits and cleanings remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. If plaque is left to build up over your teeth and gums, it increases your risk of gum disease, cavities and other dental problems.

Reversing Early Gum Disease

Early gum disease is called gingivitis and is entirely reversible with improved oral care. We can professionally clean your teeth and provide advice on how to brush and floss more effectively. If you don’t treat gingivitis, it will soon progress into periodontal disease, a condition that destroys gum and bone, causing tooth loss.

Protecting Your Overall Health

Your oral health is closely linked to overall health. When your mouth is free from dental disease, it protects you against serious health problems like diabetes, heart disease and other systemic diseases. Also, we can screen regularly for oral cancer, as early detection can lead to a far better long-term prognosis.

How is Hay Fever Linked to Dental Health Problems?

If you suffer from seasonal allergies like hay fever, you know all about the unpleasant side-effects including coughing, sneezing, having a stuffy nose and itchy, watery eyes. What’s not so well-known is the potential effect on your dental health as allergies can increase the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath and sore throats.

Frequently, hay fever causes sinus pain, and when your sinuses are full of mucus, the additional pressure can press down on your upper back teeth, potentially causing toothache. One way to tell if it is true toothache is to take antihistamines to relieve the symptoms. If the tooth pain remains, it’s best to come and see us here at One Smile, in case the toothache is due to an infection.

Any advice if “Tramadol” causes or not physical addiction? Been with less harmful painkillers but they do not help, doctor advised me Tramadol by https://tramadol4painrelief.com, but don’t want to be addicted. Please share your experience, because it is hard to support the pains.

Other problems include dry mouth and especially if you need to breathe through your mouth. Medications like antihistamines can frequently cause dry mouth as a side-effect. When your mouth is drier, it loses the protective effects of saliva, increasing your risk of cavities, bad breath and gum disease. If you have dry mouth, make sure you drink plenty of water, and some people like to chew sugar-free gum or suck sugar-free sweets. Also, remember we can provide you with additional advice and care to reduce the impact of hay fever on your dental health.
