Is Grandpa Smiling?

by

elderly oral health Wakefield

How are Americans doing when it comes to the dental health of those who are sixty-five and over? Well, at Future of Dentistry we have some good news and bad news.

The Good News:

  • Tooth decay rates in older Americans has decreased in the past thirty years.

The Bad News:

  • 25% of people over sixty-five have no remaining teeth
  • Nearly 20% have untreated cavities
  • 10% of adults 65 and over have moderate to severe periodontal disease.
  • There is evidence to suggest that advanced gum disease is linked to diabetes, heart disease, stroke and respiratory disease
  • Most older Americans don’t have dental insurance

Clearly, there is room for improvement. What elements will improve the oral health of older Americans? The National Institutes of Health cite three components:

  • Improved oral health education for the elderly
  • Seniors practicing effective daily oral hygiene
  • Increased access to dental care

At Future of Dentistry we are committed to providing all of our patients with comprehensive oral health education and care. Patients come to us from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley for our full range of general and cosmetic dentistry. Please call our office to schedule an appointment today!

Infant And Toddler Teeth Care

by

Infant and Toddler Teeth CareThis post from Future of Dentistry is about dental care for infants and toddlers.

Caring for your infant’s teeth should begin even before they come in. To prevent bacteria growth, parents can wash their baby’s gums with a wet washcloth after feedings.

Babies should never be put to bed with a bottle, no matter how tempting it is for tired Wakefield parents. The sugars in milk or juice that stay in contact with teeth for hours can damage the enamel. When your child gets his first tooth, it is time to brush. Parents should use non-fluoride toothpaste until the child is two years old. Then, use only a tiny dab. Young children often swallow toothpaste while brushing. If a child ingests too much fluoride, teeth can become stained.

When a child is old enough to brush his own teeth, it is important that an adult go over them after the child finishes to make sure they are clean. Many children thoroughly clean the chewing surfaces, but often fail to clean the backsides and gumline. Consult the child-friendly staff at Future of Dentistry about dental sealants – an extra protection against decay.

Monitor your child’s meals and snacks. We all know that sugary snacks are not only bad for growing bodies; they are also bad for teeth. Scheduling set times to drink anything other than water during the day can also help prevent cavities for children.

At Future of Dentistry our services include pediatric dentistry. Patients from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley also come to us for cosmetic dentistry. Schedule an appointment today!

For A Healthier Smile, Stop Doing This

by

Wakefield friendly family dentist

Your teeth can last a lifetime. With regular checkups at Future of Dentistry and a few daily precautions, you’ll go a long way toward making sure they do.

If you do any of the following, we recommend that you stop:

Chewing sugared gum all day.
Cavities, a sore jaw, or compromised bridgework may result. If you must chew, select gum with Xylitol.

Drinking soda and energy drinks.
These sugary, acidic beverages are immensely efficient at eroding enamel.

Chewing ice or hard candy.
Your enamel is quite hard. But so are ice and hard candy, and head-to-head, occasionally they win, resulting in a cracked tooth.

Skipping flossing.
Maybe you think brushing is enough. Following brushing with a careful flossing job cleans away fragments of food and plaque between teeth.

Using a firm bristled toothbrush.
A soft bristled brush is the best tool for the job. Save your firm brush for cleaning the grout around your bathtub.

At Future of Dentistry our family dentistry will help keep your teeth and gums in excellent condition. Patients come from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley come to us for regular checkups and for restorative dentistry. Call to schedule an appointment today!

7 Surprising Causes Of Bad Breath

by

bad breath treatment Boston

Anyone with chronic bad breath understands the embarrassment and frustration associated with this condition. As unpleasant as it is, rest assured we can help at Future of Dentistry.

There are several possible causes for bad breath, some that you may overlook:

  1. Poor oral hygiene
  2. Digestive problems
  3. Systemic infection
  4. Bacteria on dentures
  5. Gum disease
  6. Food particles on tonsils
  7. Dry mouth

If your bad breath is the result of poor oral hygiene, you’re in luck — this is one of the easiest types to treat. Make sure you brush for a full three minutes before you climb into bed. (Don’t forget to floss!)

People who have no idea how long they brush can set a timer (there is probably one on your smartphone). In addition to cleaning tooth surfaces, scrub your tongue! Then take the time to floss around each tooth to wash away the plaque between your teeth and keep your gums healthy.

You can also brush after each meal to prevent food debris from sitting on their teeth. In addition to freshening your breath, brushing after each meal will improve your dental health.

Treating bad breath starts with a visit to Future of Dentistry. Be sure to mention it! Patients come to us from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley come to us for general and family dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and much more. Call to schedule an appointment today!

Artistic Smile Masterpieces

by

Artistic Smile Masterpieces At Future of Dentistry

In this blog post from Future of Dentistry we are talking about personal transformation. Many people want to reinvent themselves in at least one aspect of their life. A good start is with their smile, which we can transform with cosmetic dentistry.

Cosmetic dentistry is an umbrella term for a range of procedures that can enhance your smile. Even a small improvement can have a big impact. We have many techniques we can use, depending on the state of your smile: we can correct teeth that are discolored, chipped, mis-shapen, and even missing.

General dentistry addresses the health of your teeth and gums. That is never overlooked, but cosmetic dentistry aims to complement overall dental health. We consider the shape, alignment, color and condition of the teeth, and the facial shape and coloring of each patient. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment.

It’s been said that cosmetic dentistry is part science and part art. That’s a pretty good definition. We use sound dental techniques to bring positive changes to the smiles of our patients.

Cosmetic dentistry from name of practice can have positive changes on your life. Patients from Patients come to us from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley also come to us for our general and family dentistry. Set up an appointment today!
