The Strengthener For Teeth
Candy, ice, citrus, coffee and sticky foods are the stuff of nightmares for teeth. Chomping down on these types of foods will certainly increase the chance for more damage to be done and possibly cause your bright smile to diminish. Of course, brushing and flossing are always recommended as the fluoride in the toothpaste will help to fight off nasty cavity causing bacterias, but there is something even more protective that you can do. This “miracle” treatment will require a trip to the dentist, but isn’t your smile worth it?

Dentist OKC: Talking About Sugar & Oral Health
When you were a child, your parents probably told you that too much sugar would rot your teeth, right? Our parents did, too! While this may have helped us avoid a lot of stomach aches, it isn’t necessarily true. While sugar is the main cause of tooth decay, it isn’t necessary to completely cut out sugar from your diet. Taking good care of your teeth and seeing your dentist in OKC regularly can help you avoid cavities and tooth decay even with a diet high in sugar (of course, we’re not saying you should go out and gorge yourself on donuts, candy, and soda. Be reasonable with your diet choices). Today, our dentist in OKC is going to dive right in and talk about sugar, tooth decay, and prevention methods.

What Is Sedation Dentistry And Why Have It?
One of the fears ingrained into the minds of most people is that of visiting the dentist. It seems to be a common misconception that dentists just love to cause others horrific amounts of pain, but let our Oklahoma City dentist be the first to say that he couldn’t feel more strongly about making patients feel as comfortable as possible. When the pain may be more than someone can handle or when the fear is just taking over, that’s when sedation dentistry is offered.

Sleep Without Hearing Your Partner Snore
Do you snore? Does your partner snore? Our Oklahoma City dentist understands that if you are one of those people, you’re definitely not alone! Over 80 million Americans are in the same predicament. When someone snores it is caused by the narrowing or relaxing of the back of the throat. Sometimes, the tongue can fall back causing blockage to the upper airway. The sound you, or others, hear from a snoring person is caused by the air trying to pass through from the lungs out of the nose and mouth. When the air can’t be released, as it should, it causes the vibrations which make the snoring sounds.

Have you been avoiding a trip to the dentist for a while? It’s alright to admit it. We understand that financially it just doesn’t allow for some families to purchase dental insurance coverage.
