| Protecting Your Mouth from Tooth Sensitivity |
|
|
When your mouth becomes sensitive to heat, cold, or even tastes like sweet or bitter, it can make living difficult. You become afraid to eat, drink, and depending on the weather, you may even become nervous about going outside! Instead of living like that, you need to learn how to protect your mouth. Here are some of the best ways of protecting your mouth when it becomes sensitive.
Make Sure to Keep Up with Your Oral Hygiene Routine
A leading cause of tooth sensitivity is cavities. These often show up when something is missing from your oral hygiene routine. Make sure that you come in and see us every six months, plus keep up with your daily routine. This should include brushing twice, flossing once, and making sure to rinse your mouth fully with an alcohol-free mouthwash.
Call Our Office When You First Notice Sensitive Teeth
One of the best ways of protecting your teeth is to make sure that you come in and see us when you first notice any sign of sensitivity. The best way to protect your teeth from the pain that comes from sensitive teeth is to have us correct the problem as soon as you notice it. We can look at the cause, then treat your teeth to help get rid of the pain. This may involve filling cavities, sealing your teeth, or changing your diet.
Call us today and let us help protect your teeth. We can help you live a life without sensitive tooth pain, and help keep your mouth healthy at the same time.

| Five-Minute Whitening Options to Brighten Your Teeth at Home
|
If you want to have whiter teeth, you have a few different options. You can call us and schedule a time for a professional whitening procedure, or you can try your luck with at home products. Some work better than others, but each of them has the potential to brighten your smile.
When giving some of the options from home a try, consider going simple. First, try a toothpaste that helps to whiten and brighten your smile. Couple that with a whitening mouthwash, and see what kind of results you get. You can also try ADA Seal Approved Crest 3D Whitestrips. This is gentle, and often quite effective for minor staining.

| How to Protect Oral Tissues When a Tooth Gets Chipped |
Having a chipped tooth can be both painful and painless at the same time. Most small chips in your teeth are not painful at all. You may not even notice them at first. However, that chip wearing back and forth against your oral tissues can really cause a sore spot.
If you have a chipped tooth, come in and see us or your primary care dentist. One of the best options for helping protect your mouth is to have us dull the edges or fill the chip with dental bonding. Until you can get into our office, use a small bit of dental wax on the area. This can cover the jagged edge and protect your mouth until you can come in for treatment. |
