How Oral Inflammation Affects Your Health

Posted by peak

inflamed gums Trinity

Swollen and painful gums are symptoms of periodontal disease, an inflammatory gum disease. Swelling occurs from an auto-immune response of the body reacting to an infection. Infections are noticeable through pain, redness, and warmth. If the infection is left untreated, it can impact the bone near the teeth. The body’s immune system wants to rid the bone of the harmful material the bacteria is creating. Over time, bone loss will develop.

Inflammation in the gums also is associated with atherosclerosis, the occurrence of fatty deposits inside the body’s arteries. Inflammation coincides with an increase of the blood protein CRP (C-reactive protein), produced by the liver. The more inflammation there is, the more the liver produces CRP. The more CRP present, the more likely cardiovascular disease is present, along with related problems. CRP production is also related to arthritis, auto-immune disorders, and intestinal issues.

Scientists are currently looking into the relationship between periodontal inflammation and CRP levels and the effects outside of the oral cavity. Links have already been discovered between periodontal disease and pancreatic cancer, heart disease, and stroke.

If inflammation is left untreated, gums can develop pockets that provide the perfect breeding ground for infection. The longer the infection persists, the more likely bone loss will arise, eventually causing tooth loss.

It is indispensable to practice preventive dental care daily at home and have regular visits to the dentist. Dental appointments should include an exam, cleaning, and full mouth x-rays, along with vital knowledge and instruction on how to properly care for teeth and gums at home. It is also very important to see your dentist ASAP if a tooth suddenly becomes sensitive or you see any other changes.

Retaining Brightness After Teeth Whitening Treatment

Posted by peak

professional tooth whitening Phoenix

If you decide to illuminate your smile with a professional teeth whitening treatment in Irvine, you want the results to last as long as possible. Unfortunately, the same things that stained your teeth before the treatment can stain them after the treatment. Over time, common staining will take place. To help slow down that process, Art of Dentistry Institute offers helpful counsel to make your brilliant smile last.

Do’s

First, rinse daily with an anti-cavity rinse. This improves oral hygiene, decreases bacteria, slows the accumulation of plaque, and also helps whiten your teeth. Additionally, there are many over-the-counter rinses with an additional whitening agent which will help prolong the results of the whitening treatment.

Don’ts

There are some daily practices to avoid because they will stain your teeth over time. These include drinking coffee, tea, soft drinks, red wine, smoking, and even some medications. If you cannot completely cut these out of your life, rinse your mouth out after you use them.

Avoid acidic foods and beverages. These can weaken or wear away the enamel on your teeth, and weak enamel allows the yellow dentin to show through.

Artificial coloring in any foods and condiments can stain your newly whitened teeth. Candy, popsicles, and fruit punch are examples.

Remember the Basics

We probably don’t need to remind you, but brushing your teeth properly a couple of times a day will help you keep your white smile. You may choose a toothpaste with extra whitening or baking soda to help the process. Proper brushing should take you at least two minutes using short brush strokes, paying close attention to the gum line and hard-to-reach areas. Clean the outer surfaces of your upper, then lower teeth, including the inner surfaces. Finally, don’t forget the chewing surfaces and your tongue. Using good brushing techniques for 120 seconds will support oral hygiene, and permanent stains will not build up as fast.

It doesn’t take too much effort or money to make your whitened smile last. If you have any questions or would like additional tips on how to retain your fresh, white smile, reach out to our experts at Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine.

Are Dental Implants Experimental?

Posted by peak

Dental implants are tooth replacement marvels that have been placed in millions of people. They look and function just like the real thing, and are available at the Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine CA.

Technically, dental implants are not replacement teeth. The actual implant is a titanium post that is inserted into your jaw. In a few months, it fuses with the bone. One implant is a solid support for one artificial tooth. Several can support a bridge or full dental arch. Humans have tinkered with implanting teeth for thousands of years.

The origins of modern dental implants date back to the early 1950s when it was discovered that titanium can fuse with the bone. An implant was successfully placed in a human in 1965. The technology has steadily improved, and, today dental implants have gone from experimental to mainstream.

It’s the ability to fuse with the bone that makes implants so successful. Some studies have shown a success rate as high as 98%! Cases of the body rejecting them are rare. Dental implants dramatically improve your ability to bite and chew. In most patients, it is normal to near-normal. They restore your smile, too. But they also prevent the bone loss common to people with missing teeth.

Are implants experimental? Far from it! At Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine CA, we have placed many dental implants, on patients from Santa Ana, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach. People also come to us for complete restorative dentistry, including mouth reconstruction. Contact us today!

Flouride Treatments: Not Just for Kids

Posted by peak

fluoride treatment irvine You rarely hear the word “toothpaste” without it being preceded by “fluoride.” Fluoride toothpaste is good for teeth, and at Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine CA we encourage its use. Fluoride is an essential mineral that helps your teeth stay strong. It is found in some foods and water and makes toothpastes more effective at fighting cavities. Fluoride helps teeth by making them stronger and more resistant to the harmful acid that is formed by bacteria. If you wonder if you or your child is getting enough fluoride, talk to us about fluoride supplements. We will let you know if they are required and determine the precise supplement dosage. At Art of Dentistry Institute in Irvine CA we are committed to maintaining the dental health of each of our valued patients. Patients from Santa Ana, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach come to us for general and restorative dentistry. Contact us today!
