Toothbrush Tips | The Dacula Dentist

Whether you are at Walmart, the grocery store or the local drug store, you will never be in short supply of finding a variety of different toothbrushes. But what do you look for? What is important? Toothbrushes are found in variety of styles, colors and softness. Sometimes we can tend to over think the whole toothbrush selection process. Two of the main things to consider are dental health and brushing comfort.

Here are some tips to keep in mind when choosing a toothbrush:
• Choose a toothbrush that is on the softer side of the spectrum unless recommended otherwise by your dentist.

• Select the size of the brush and head based on the size of your hands and mouth.

• If you tend to not brush as long or as thoroughly as you should, you may want to consider an electronic toothbrush .

• Make sure your toothbrush is ADA approved.


The tips below will help guide your daily brushing (which is most important of all):
• You should regularly brush your teeth at least twice a day, in the morning and at night.

• Make sure not to brush your teeth too roughly to assure your gums don’t get damaged. When brushing use a gentle motion.

• Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste to avoid severe tooth decay.

• Brush your tongue for a minimal time of 30 seconds to fight off spreading germs that can cause bad breath.

If you need further assistance more information on selecting a toothbrush or brushing your teeth, contact us. We pride ourselves on our patient’s dental health and education. One single toothbrush by itself; can’t support the multiple needs to keep a healthy a mouth so we encourage you to floss daily and to see a dentist regularly.

Canker Sore Remedies & Causes | The Dacula Dentist

Canker sores can be either mild or severe. Consequently preferred remedies vary based on your symptoms. Canker sores often heal on their own but here’s a few remedies you may want to try in order to speed up the healing process:


•Rinsing your mouth with salt water

•Only eating foods that are easy to chew and not very acidic

•Visiting you dentist if the canker sore is really bad or not healing properly

Proper Cleaning & Care For Dentures | The Dacula Dentist

If you wear dentures, it can be challenging to keep them clean, odor free and comfortable. Dentures are an expensive and important investment, so here are some tips to clean and care for your dentures:


Cleaning Dentures
1. Clean the plaque buildup on your dentures every day using a denture brush and by soaking them in denture cleanser (do not use toothpaste on your dentures).

2. Clean your dentures over water or a soft surface to avoid damaging them just in case they are dropped.

3. After eating, thoroughly rinse your dentures to wash away leftover food particles.

4. When cleaning your dentures with a denture brush, use gentle strokes and clean, warm water to avoid damaging the surface of your dentures.

You should still visit your dentist regularly even if you have full dentures. Your dentist can offer tips and guidelines for taking proper care of your dentures and gums. It is commonplace that dentures have to be replaced every 5 – 10 years as the mouth changes over time. A refitting is recommended every 2-3 years to reline the dentures. Your dentist can help you determine the right time for you to refit and/or replace your dentures.

We offer full and partial dentures and denture care at our office. We want you to feel comfortable in your dentures and can help you ensure that they stay clean and white. If you have questions on getting dentures or denture care, contact us today. Feel free to contact us to schedule an appointment. We want to be your dentist!

Does Genetics or Dental Care Determine Our Teeth’s Fate? | The Dacula Dentist

In short, dental care is the dominant factor in the health of your gums and teeth. Still, that is not to say that genetics doesn’t also play a role. From birth, our mouth fills with a network of microorganisms which will forever impact or dental health. The level of influence that genetics play toward the role of these microorganisms is still largely unknown. Our commitment to fully understand this role in greater detail would significantly improve our ability to initiate effective prevention and treatment plans in the future.

Recent research has found though that there is a basic foundation of bacteria present in all humans. Ken Krauter, senior author of the study, asserts that there is a very high degree of commonality in the microbial species found in all human mouths. The more that can be learned about these microbial communities, the more equipped we will be at understanding and preventing their potentially harmful effects.

So our main focus with patients must be care at this point. Proper brushing at least two times a day, flossing daily, annual dental x-rays and bi-annual dental exams are what is going to make the biggest impact on your long term oral health. Also, starting young is important. Even toddlers should regularly see their dentist and receive proper dental hygiene daily. The dental care we put forth makes a tremendous difference in the health of our teeth and gums.

We understand the importance of proper dental care and make that a priority at our dental office. If you have questions on dental hygiene or care, contact us today. Feel free to contact us with any other questions as well or to schedule an appointment. We want to be your dentist!
