Dental Care During Pregnancy | The Dacula Dentist

Many people don’t know that pregnancy actually makes your teeth and gums more susceptible to plaque buildup, gingivitis and infections.  So it is of great importance to pay close attention to caring for your teeth and gums during this sensitive time. 

Research has shown that pregnant women were more likely have bleeding gums when compared to non-pregnant women.  Research also shows that hormonal changes during pregnancy make the mom-to-be more susceptible to gingivitis. There was also a correlation between a woman having periodontitis during pregnancy and an increased risk of preeclampsia during delivery.

To help ensure your dental health during pregnancy, be sure to brush two-three times daily, floss daily and see your dentist once per trimester so they can catch any potential problems early.  Mommy and babies health are tied together in so many ways and dental health is no exception.

If you have additional questions on keeping your teeth healthy during pregnancy, feel free to contact us. Your dental health is our priority.  We want to be your dentist!

Holiday Dental Care For Kids | The Dacula Dentist

Let’s face it. One of the things our children love most about the holidays is the treats. The candy canes, cakes, peppermints and cookies keep them smiling all season long. All these treats can be hard on their teeth though. Tooth decay is the most common dental problem seen in children. So how can we help them protect their tiny teeth during the holidays? Here are a few tips that may help you prevent your child from damaging their teeth during the holidays:


LOOK FOR TREATS THAT HAVE LESS SUGAR: The more sugar, the higher the risk of tooth decay. Try to test out tasty treats that have less or no sugar, including nuts, dark chocolate and exotic fruits. If you get create and introduce these treats in fun and holiday themed ways, you may be surprised at how responsive your little one may be.


SAVE TREATS UNTIL AFTER DINNER: Make sure your child has a full meal, including a pre-dinner salad before offering them a holiday sweet. They will have much less room in their stomachs to over indulge on them after a complete dinner.


HAVE THEM BRUSH AND FLOSS AFTER A TREAT: Make it a requirement for future treats that they floss and brush after they have candy or sweets. It helps them build up a long term healthy habit and will reduce the decaying effects that the sugar can have on their teeth.


KEEP THE CANDY OUT OF REACH: Put fake candy canes on the tree and holiday candy out of their reach. If you leave it accessible to your kids, they will surely take advantage and over indulge.

Although it may not be easy to cut back on the holiday treats for your little ones, it is important to protect their teeth all year long. Their holiday break from school is also a great time to schedule a dental exam and cleaning as well. Be sure that their dentist reinforces the same healthy habits that you are promoting at home. If you have more questions on keeping your children’s teeth healthy, call us today. We want to be your dentist!

Reduce Teeth Sensitivity | The Dacula Dentist

Does the thought of biting into an ice cream cone or ice cube make your cringe? If it does, then you probably have sensitive teeth. It can be so uncomfortable just eating or drinking everyday things when your teeth are hypersensitive. You may even be bothered by brushing or flossing. Luckily there are some things you can do to help ease the pain. Here are a few tips for dealing with teeth sensitivity:


BRUSH GENTLY WITH A SOFT BRISTLE TOOTHBRUSH – If you brush to aggressively and use hard bristled toothbrushes, you may be wearing down your teeth’s protective layers. When that protection is depleted temperature extremes, pressure or acidic foods can really cause a lot of discomfort.

REDUCE PLAQUE BUILD UP – Plaque buildup on teeth can actually wear down your protective enamel. Brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily are critical to reducing plaque buildup. You should also be visiting your dentist for a dental cleaning at least twice a year as well.

SKIP OR SWITCH THE MOUTHWASH – Many mouthwashes contain alcohol and other chemical compounds that can strip your tip of some of its natural protection. You may want to switch to a more gentle or natural mouthwash or stop using mouthwash all together.

These are just a few tips that may help you reduce your teeth’s sensitivity. We also recommend that you see your dentist and address this issue specifically. If you have more questions on teeth sensitivity, feel free to give us a call. We make dental health a priority and welcome you as a new patient.
