Did My Dentist Give Me Quality Dental Care?

By

caring dentist Fairfield caWithout a doubt, this is a tricky question. Everyone wants to believe that their dentist did a fine job and provided them with the highest quality work. However, how do you really know? It’s not as if you can look inside your own mouth and check on their work. Even if you could see it, most of us don’t know what to look for. So what can you do? Take a look at this short video as we explore that very question.

You should not feel afraid to ask questions or seek information about each and every treatment that you receive from your dentist. There is such a wide range of services between one dentist and another. It’s important to explore the quality of care you have received for your oral health and your peace of mind.

Where this becomes even more significant is in the event that you are dealing with a specialist such as a sedation dentist, a cosmetic dentist or any other. Take advantage of the tips shared in this video to ensure that you and your family get the level of care that you rightly deserve.

Yours very truly,

Learn How to Properly Brush Your Teeth

By

Brushing your teeth is very important yet so few of us really know how to do it properly. We all were taught by our dentist how to brush our teeth when we were children, but do you actually remember? We found these great tips from a dental professional to refresh your memory!

Watch this demonstration from a dental hygienist to learn exactly how to brush your teeth correctly. The first thing to remember is to start with the sides of your back teeth first and use tooth-sized circular motions. Remember, you are trying to remove plaque and build-up so brushing for a full two minutes is important.

Bacteria gathers on your tongue and is a major culprit of bad breath. Try to remember to gently brush your tongue and think about investing in a motorized toothbrush. They can help keep your teeth well brushed the proper way. To learn more about toothbrushes, check out our related post, “The More You Know About Toothbrushes.”

Choosing the Best Dentist for You

By

How to choose the best dentist is not usually a topic of conversation around the dinner table. In fact, it’s not a topic that is often discussed at all. Let’s face it, discussing good and bad dentists, their features and attributes, is not necessarily the best dinner conversation.

However, making the right choice for you and your family’s oral health is absolutely critical. This is especially true with the wide variety of types of dentists and dental specialists such as cosmetic dentists, family dentists, implant dentists, orthodontists, periodontists, sedation dentists and a number of others.

Take a look at this video that will provide you with helpful clues on how to go about choosing the right dentist.

What if all you need is a simple teeth cleaning? Obviously that’s not the same thing as having a tooth pulled. What if you have a more serious problem, such as a root canal or a broken tooth? Again, that’s quite different from having a toothache. What if you needed very advanced treatments such as reconstructive surgery or to replace an entire mouth full of old fillings? It’s so important to make the right selection, which is why we prepared this video for you.

We hope this helps and look forward to serving you further.

Yours sincerely,

Mark J. Warner DDS Inc.

The More You Know About Toothbrushes

By

toothbrushes for dentist fairfieldDid you know that it does not matter if you have a power toothbrush or a manual toothbrush—both have what it takes to get the job done? The important thing is to look for the ADA Seal of Acceptance on any toothbrush you are looking to purchase. This lets you know whether or not the brush has been independently tested and verified as safe and effective for your teeth.

Also, you should change your toothbrush every 3-4 months. Even though your dentist might give you a new toothbrush at each visit, the bristles on your toothbrush wear out before your next visit. A worn toothbrush won’t keep your teeth as clean. One way recommended by the American Dental Association to remember to change your brush every 3-4 months is new season, new toothbrush.

Most people do not know how much toothpaste they should actually be using. Adults and children age 3 and older should brush with a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Children younger than 3 should use a smear of fluoride toothpaste the size of a grain of rice. Brushing with too much toothpaste can damage enamel because children could swallow too much fluoride while their teeth are developing. That can cause dental fluorosis, white marks, and discoloration of teeth. As in toothbrushes, look for a toothpaste with the ADA Seal of Acceptance.

Always choose a soft-bristled brush. Firm or even medium-strength bristles may actually damage your gums and enamel. Because your fluoride toothpaste does most of the work, it is only necessary to only brush hard enough to clean the film off your teeth. In other words, don’t scrub your teeth.

You should brush your teeth at least twice a day. The best times to brush are when you wake up in the morning (before breakfast) and before you go to bed at night.

Keeping your mouth—and your body—in good health comes down to a few healthy habits. In addition to brushing two times a day with fluoride toothpaste, remember to clean between your teeth daily. The best way to do that is to floss. Eating a healthy diet and keeping sugary snacks and beverages to a minimum goes a long way to fight tooth decay, as well. And of course, you will want to keep up with your regular visits to the dentist.

We know that you have a lot of choices when it comes to dentists in Fairfield, CA. If you or someone you know is looking for an ADA dentist in the Fairfield area, please keep us in mind. As always, thanks for stopping by our blog!

What Should You Do in a Dental Emergency?

By

emergency dental care dentist fairfield caYou have only 20 minutes after a tooth is injured before it begins to die. What you choose to do immediately after injuring your tooth could make all of the difference. Whatever the cause, biting down on something hard or a sports accident, it is important to know what to do in a dental emergency.

The most important thing is to relieve your pain and to find a dentist who can take care of this emergency. Knowing what to do may mean the difference between saving or losing your teeth. Most techniques work for both children and adult teeth. If your tooth is knocked out completely, placing it in a cup with a little bit of salt is the best way to preserve it.

Important note: Preventing dental sports injuries can be as easy as using a mouthguard. Come see us today for a custom fit!
