Signs You Have Tartar

General Dentistry, Today's Dental Comfort

At Today’s Dental Comfort, we regularly express the importance of caring for your teeth and oral health. It is important that you brush your teeth for two minutes at least twice per day and use dental floss daily. In addition, we recommend patients visit our office every four to six months for a routine hygiene examination and cleaning. Cleaning your teeth regularly and visiting our office for a thorough cleaning is the best way to ensure you don’t have lingering bacteria and plaque on your teeth. Plaque buildup will eventually lead to an issue with tartar.

Should I Brush My Tongue?

General Dentistry, Patient Education, Today's Dental Comfort

You know the importance of brushing, flossing, and caring for your teeth. One area of your mouth you may not be brushing is your tongue. Just as food and bacteria get trapped between your teeth, your tongue is also a magnet for bacteria. It has quite a bit of texture. Bacteria can build up on the tongue and not be fully removed from rinsing the mouth. We encourage our patients to brush their tongues when cleaning their teeth.

Why Is Your Jawbone Important?

Patient Education, Today's Dental Comfort

When you think about your oral health, the two main areas of concern that we speak of regularly are your teeth and gums; however, there is another area in the mouth that can also be cause for concern, and that is the jawbone. Although we typically give the jawbone very little thought, it holds your entire mouth together. The jawbone creates the guide for your face shape and holds all of your teeth in place.

Is A Cracked Tooth A Big Deal?

Emergency Dentistry, Patient Education, Today's Dental Comfort

Between appointments in our office, it is important to be mindful of the state of your teeth. You should be regularly inspecting your teeth and gums for changes or signs that there might be a problem with your oral health. This can be done visually by looking in your mouth for any indication of a problem. You may also be able to feel changes to your teeth by running your tongue along each one. If you notice or feel any changes, it is important to contact our office immediately. One complication that needs immediate attention is a cracked tooth. Read on to learn more.
