Eating Right to Prevent Tooth Decay
Brushing and flossing are ideally the best steps to protect your kid’s teeth from decay as well as gum disease. But without a well-balanced and healthy diet, brushing and flossing won’t do much. Dr. Courtney Chinn, DDS, MPH, of the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, stresses the importance of sensible food choices. “What parents […]
Muting the dentist’s drill eases the patient’s fear
Much like noise-canceling or noise-reduction headphones in airliners, a new dental technology can block out the shrill sound from the dentist’s instruments, which has been the prime cause of patient phobia and anxiety. The device, containing a microphone and a chip, shuts out sound from the dental drill through soundwaves that produce interference. The prototype […]
Low-fluoride toothpaste is no better than nonfluoride toothpaste in preventing tooth decay among children
Toothpastes containing less than 1,000 parts per million of fluoride concentrations are as ineffective at preventing tooth decay as those with no fluoride. This finding, published in the Cochrane Database of research group Cochrane Collaboration, is taken from 79 clinical studies involving 73,000 children worldwide. Children’s toothpastes range from 100 ppm to 1,400 ppm fluoride […]

Oral bacteria in pregnant mother can infect the unborn fetus
Periodontal disease (gum infection) can spread through the bloodstream and infect the uterus (womb). This could cause low birth weight, premature delivery and infection of the unborn child.

Getting to the bottom of sensitive teeth
Dentine hypersensitivity is a sudden, sharp shooting pain in the teeth triggered by hot, cold or acidic foodstuff. Pain is also felt with touch, such as from chewing or tooth-brushing, and with air pressure, such as when one is breathing through the mouth. Cracked teeth, cavities, worn tooth enamel (outer layer of the tooth), worn […]
Frequent Toothbrushing Can Lower Heart Disease Risk
You will never look at toothbrushing again as a routine hygiene to take lightly or you can do without. A recent study found that people who brush their teeth less frequently have a 70% increased risk of heart disease compared with those who brushed their teeth twice a day. When people don’t brush their teeth […]
