Sometimes I get a 'clicking, popping' noise, or just general soreness in my jaw (TMD). Is this a problem, and what can I do about it?
This usually occurs due to an impaired function of the jaw joints and muscles. To relieve this relax and avoid straining, clenching, grinding your jaw or opening your mouth too wide. Remember, lips together... teeth apart. In addition, try to eat a softer diet, gently massage your jaw muscles and apply warm compress. If problem persists you should talk to your dentist.
Why do I experience sharp pains when eating or drinking hot foods or drinks?
Teeth are naturally protected by enamel, the hardest substance in the body. It is supported by a softer substance called dentin, which extends to form the roots of the teeth. The nerve of the tooth resides in the porous dentin. Exposed dentin allows stimuli such as hot and cold drinks, ice cream, sweet and sour foods and even the touch of a toothbrush to trigger the pain. Sensitive teeth can be caused by poor brushing techniques. If you use a hard toothbrush, or do not brush your teeth correctly, you can wear away protective tooth enamel and expose dentin. Incorrect brushing techniques or gum disease can also cause gums to recede or pull back, exposing the roots of the teeth. Once this area is exposed, the chance of sensitivity is greatly increased.
What is the best way to floss my teeth?
Flossing your teeth should be done once a day. This helps to remove plaque that builds up between the teeth and under the gumline and cannot be removed by a toothbrush. Begin by taking about 18 inches of floss, and winding the ends around the center fingers. Next grip the floss firmly with the index fingers and thumb. Guide the floss between the teeth using a gentle sawing motion, scrape the sides of the teeth but be careful not to snap the floss onto the gums. Unwind the floss when needed to ensure that a clean piece is used for every tooth. Don't forget to floss between the back teeth as well as the front teeth. If your gums bleed or feel tender from flossing, do not be alarmed. The gums often take a little time to become accustomed to flossing. If your teeth are crowded, you may find it easier to use a specially coated mono filament floss, such as Colgate Total Floss, to avoid shredding and breaking the floss.
What is the right way to brush my teeth?
Brush at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste that has the ADA seal of acceptance. Use a toothbrush with soft, end-rounded bristles and replace it every three to four months.
To clean the outer surfaces of your teeth, tilt the brush at a 45-degree angle against the gumline. Gently move the brush back and forth in short (half-a-tooth-wide) strokes. Keep the bristles angled against the gumline.
Repeat the motion on the inside surfaces of your teeth.
Brush the chewing surfaces of the molars.
To clean the inner surfaces of your front teeth, hold the brush vertically and use gentle up-and-down strokes with the front part of the brush.
Gently brush your tongue to remove bacteria and to freshen breath.
When do I know if it is time to get a new toothbrush?
When the bristles are splayed in all directions it is time to get a new brush. This usually happens after 3-4 months of regular use. When a toothbrush gets into this condition it is no longer as effective in cleaning teeth, especially along the gumline and in between teeth. After a cold or illness it is wise to change your brush, too.
What is the best way to care for my partial or complete denture?
Clean dentures regularly. Plaque and tartar build up on dentures as easily as they do on natural teeth. Unless removed from your dentures, plaque and tartar can spread to your natural teeth and gums, causing cavities and gum disease. Remove dentures every night. Brush your teeth and gums carefully twice a day with a soft toothbrush. Be sure to clean and massage your gums. If your toothbrush causes irritation, try moistened gauze. Soak dentures overnight in a half-and-half solution of luke warm water and white vinegar or denture cleanser. This loosens plaque so you can brush it off more easily. If your dentures have metal clasps, use water only.
How safe am I from contagious infections, like AIDS, when I go to the dentist?
The dental office is simply not a place where serious infections are transmitted. Dentists have always used, and continue to use, effective methods of preventing infection, including serious infections like hepatitis B and AIDS. AIDS is caused by a virus. This virus can only be passed from one person to another in body fluids, almost always through sexual intercourse or sharing needles when using drugs. All the steps your dental team takes to prevent other types of infection work equally well against the AIDS virus and against hepatitis B. These include use of latex gloves and sterilization of the dental tools, dental apparatus and counter tops. There is no evidence to suggest that the AIDS virus will be transmitted during dental treatment if the recommended preventive measures are used. If you have any questions or concerns about AIDS or hepatitis B, please ask your dentist.
What is fluoride? Does it really protect my teeth?
Fluoride is a natural mineral. It protects teeth from decay by acting with minerals in saliva to restore and harden enamel damaged by the early stages of decay, and make fully formed teeth more resistant to decay. If your water supply does not have fluoride (check with your dental professional or local health official) then additional fluoride supplements or may be recommended.
