Those Baby Teeth Are A Big Deal

by

Kid-friendly Wakefield dentist

This post from Future of Dentistry focuses on baby teeth. New parents sometimes wonder: why take care of them when they’re just going to fall out and go to the tooth fairy? It’s a good question with an even better answer.

Parents should never feel like they are wasting their time taking care of their little ones’ teeth. Those baby teeth are important. For one thing, they’re needed to keep the proper amount of space available for the permanent teeth that come later.

Baby teeth are also invaluable in the development of clear speech.

Take Care

Even before your baby’s teeth come in, you should be cleaning out their mouth. Pay special attention to the gums. The best way for cleaning is to use a soft cloth dipped in warm water. No toothpaste is necessary. At this point, it’s enough to wipe them clean.

Once the teeth do come in, get a small, baby-sized toothbrush. You still don’t need any toothpaste, although you can use a tiny dab if you want to. Gently brush whatever teeth are there.

Remember to never put your little one to bed with a bottle.

When that first tooth comes in, it’s time to bring your baby in for their first checkup. If they reach the age of one and there still aren’t any teeth, bring them in just the same.

At Future of Dentistry, we want the very best of dental health for all our patients, and it starts with our pediatric dentistry. Patients come from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley also come to us for complete general and family dentistry. Call to schedule an appointment today!

4 Oral Ailments To Discuss With Your Dentist

by

Bad Breath Treatment Boston

This article is about some of the most frequent conditions that should be discussed with us, at Future of Dentistry.

There is a solution for each one of these issues.

  • Tooth Decay. This is easily the most common dental problem. Tooth decay, or cavities, occur when plaque combines with the sugars and/or starches in food to produce acids that attack tooth enamel. We can always do a drill-and-fill, but prevention via regular brushing and flossing is best.
  • Dry Mouth. Also known as xerostomia, this lack of saliva is very bothersome and can predispose you to a host of dilemmas such as decay and gum disease. It’s a common side effect of prescription medications, so make sure to bring a list of current prescriptions with you to your appointment.
  • Jaw Issues. If you suffer from jaw pain or notice a clicking sound, be sure to schedule an appointment with us immediately. These symptoms can be signs of a condition called temporomandibular disorder, or TMD.
  • Teeth Grinding. If you’ve been stressed out and find that you’ve been grinding your teeth, discuss it with us. An oral appliance can make all the difference.

At Future of Dentistry, the dental health of our patients is always our top priority. Patients from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley  come to us for complete general and family dentistry, restorative dentistry, and much more. Call us to schedule an appointment today!

Periodontal Disease Is Linked To Systemic Diseases

by

gum disease treatment Wakefield

Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss among adults. Nearly half of Americans over the age of thirty have gum disease in some form. Fortunately, it’s a treatable condition at Future of Dentistry.

What do your gums do?

Gum tissue has an important job. It protects the roots of your teeth and provides a barrier for the connective tissues and ligaments that hold your teeth in their sockets. It also protects the alveolar bone in which your teeth are anchored.

What is gum disease?

Gum disease is inflammation and infection of this soft tissue. It starts with inflammation. Gums become swollen and tender. Early stage gum disease is called gingivitis. If it progresses, the gums pull away from the teeth, developing pockets. This more severe condition is called periodontitis or periodontal disease.

Signs of gum disease include:

  • Swollen gums
  • Receding gums
  • A change in the color of gums
  • Loose or shifting teeth
  • Pain and tenderness
  • Changes in your bite

As serious as gum disease is on its own, it also puts you at risk of conditions like heart disease. The good news is that gum disease is 100% preventable with regular brushing and flossing, and regular dental checkups.

At Future of Dentistry we treat gum disease. People from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley choose our practice for complete general and family dentistry and much more! Schedule your next checkup today!

Your Smile Says Keep Trying!

by

gentle dentist Wakefield

This message from Future of Dentistry is for anyone who is finding it difficult to improve their dental health. We urge you to keep working at it and assure you that we’re here to help!

Keep Trying To Floss

Many people are really good about brushing their teeth, but sometimes skip flossing. This is a bad idea. Flossing is the only way to clean food debris and plaque from between teeth.

Failure to floss can lead to cavities, and even gum disease. Our recommendation? Brush twice a day, and floss before going to bed at night.

Keep Trying to Quit Tobacco

Smoking is as bad for your teeth and gums as it is for other parts of your body. If you’ve tried to quit but just can’t, you’re far from alone. Keep trying!

According to the Centers for Disease Control, former smokers now outnumber active smokers. Everyone who has kicked the habit was once right where you are. Keep trying!

Keep Getting Checkups

Regular cleanings and checkups are a critical part of maintaining good dental health. Along with brushing and flossing, they are part of your first line of defense against tooth decay. On average, we recommend a checkup every six months. Some patients can spread them out a little more, and others may need more frequent visits.

Remember, the link between your dental health and overall health is well-established. Patients come to Future of Dentistry from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley for complete general and family dentistry, and specialties like clear braces. Schedule your next checkup today!
