Addressing Different Forms Of Dental Discoloration

What Your Dentist Can Do To Address Sleep Apnea
Your dentist is there for you when you have a cavity, or if you want whiter teeth, but why would you ask them for help with sleep apnea?

When you use this appliance, it will keep your airways from being blocked by soft tissue in your throat. Eliminating the issue of blockage will allow you to enjoy uninterrupted sleep. (more…)

Stay Smart About Your Oral Health Care When You Travel
You may be away from home, but your need for quality oral care is with you no matter where you go. Travel can be disruptive to our routines. This can be something to look forward to – after all, part of the fun of going on vacation is escaping our usual responsibilities. However, you may find it more difficult to take proper care of your smile while you are on the move. For instance, your consumption of sugary foods and drinks may spike as you spend time on a long drive, or in a hotel where you have no way to cook for yourself. You could also find that your out of town activities are demanding you adjust your usual morning and evening routines. If you maintain good oral health habits, even while you travel, you can improve your chances of receiving a clean bill of health during your next dental exam. (more…)
Why You Should See Bruxism As A Serious Oral Health Threat
If you think of bruxism – an unconscious habit of grinding your teeth – as merely an annoyance, you should know that it can pose a serious threat to your oral health. You should recognize that because our jaws are able to bite with an impressive degree of force, teeth grinding puts considerable strain on teeth. As the problem persists, you may start to notice wear and tear accumulating. You could also find yourself with a serious chip or crack in a tooth that demands restorative dental care.
