Do you buy teeth whitening products over the counter?
Do you buy teeth whitening products over the counter? If so, proceed with caution.

How do you protect your newly bleached, bonded, crowned or veneered teeth
How do you protect your newly bleached, bonded, crowned or veneered teeth from getting stained? Any teeth, even cosmetically treated ones can be stained by tobacco and certain foods and drinks. Veneers and crowns are generally more resistant to stain than bleached or bonded teeth. To avoid stains, avoid tobacco products, coffee, tea, red wine and heavily colored foods. Use a straw when feasible to avoid direct contact of potentially staining liquids to your teeth. Visit our clinic to consult with our team about stain prevention methods.
Usage of straw to protect your teeth
Are you a person who always has a straw handy for any occasion? Using a drinking straw can help protect your teeth against staining that happens from long term exposure to dark-colored foods and drinks. Using a straw means you avoid constant and direct contact with the front of your teeth.This leads to reduced exposure which means less chance for bacteria and sugary substances to stick to your teeth and potentially cause erosion. Make an appointment with us and discover methods to reduce the formation of bacteria in your teeth.
What is the right way to brush your teeth?
How long should you really brush your teeth? You may have learned growing up that you should brush your teeth for at least two minutes. But if you’ve been using that as your only benchmark for brushing, it may be time to adjust your habits. The truth is, you need to brush your teeth in a way that ensures that all the surfaces of your teeth have been reached and cleaned by the toothbrush. After you brush your teeth, it’s important to floss to make sure you clean in between teeth. Also, try to avoid brushing your teeth for a half hour after drinking anything acidic like citrus juices or carbonated beverages. Visit our clinic and talk to our dentists to learn about proper brushing technique today.
Dental Inlays and Onlays
Dental inlays and onlays are a sort of ‘middle ground’ between dental crowns and dental fillings. They are usually used in back teeth where there is an average degree of tooth decay or a gap between teeth. Inlays and onlays can also be used to restore fractured teeth, but a severe fracture might require a crown or extraction of the tooth itself. Ask about these conservative restoration techniques at our clinic.
How much do you know about Molars?
Did you know that your molars can feel a piece of grit as small as 10 microns across between your teeth? They are a set of eight teeth (excluding your wisdom teeth) at the back of the jaw, with four on top and four on the bottom. Located towards the rear of the mouth, these teeth play a big role in breaking down food. Learn more about caring for your grinders by making an appointment at our clinic.
