Try brushing your teeth instead of eating a snack. Then drink a big glass of water. Most people don't want to eat right after they brush their teeth so this can be a good deterrent for snacking and drinking a full glass of water can make you feel full. We can't promise that it will work for you, but it's worth a try.

Doyou freinds and family need a new dentist? We'd love to have more patients just like you.

Teeth are not tools. They are for eating. Don’t use them as package openers, wire strippers, nut-crackers, or pliers. Protect them. Wear a mouth guard if playing sports. Do not do piercings around your the mouth – they can permanently chip, break, and ruin teeth.

Which is better for your teeth, Dental Floss or a Water Pick?

1. Don't brush your teeth too hard. This can lead to receding gums and oversensitive teeth.

2. Don't brush your teeth right after consuming acidic food (oranges for example) because this can lead to enamel erosion, which leads to cavities. Wait 30 minutes and then brush.

Try Zelactin B for Canker Sores. It's superb at blocking the nerves and giving you pain relief while also healing the sore spot on your gums. Available at most pharmacies.

Rinse it off and push it back in right away, then bite down gently on a soft cloth or moistened tea bag to hold it in place. Knocking out a tooth tears the periodontal ligaments, but some might still cling to the tooth. If reconnected early enough, they can reattach to the gums.

The tooth will feel strong in a few days and could be good as new in a month or two. Want to make sure? Come see Dr. Bohanon.

Don't forget to use your Flexible Spending Account by the end of the year.

Happy Holidays!

The following food products are invaluable in obtaining the perfect teeth:

Millet and sesame seeds – Source of calcium

Sunflower seeds – source of vitamin A. Prevents gum bleeding

Food containing chlorophyll, such as parsley, turnip, beet and radishes and Neem sticks – contributed towards maintaining healthy teeth

Rose water and peppermint mixed with water – can be used as a refreshing mouthwash

Happy Veterans Day

Use a straw when drinking fruit juices, soda pop, and even coffee. Soft drinks and coffee stain your teeth and the sugar in them will erode the enamel on your teeth. An easy way to stop this is by simply using a straw on a regular basis when drinking those kinds of beverages.

Here is a tip as we approach flu season. You are supposed to replace your toothbrush after you have an episode of flu, cold or other viral infections. Notorious microbes can implant themselves on the toothbrush bristles leading to re-infection.

The holidays are near. Call the office to schedule a dental exam to see if you're a good candidate for teeth whitening so you look your best this holliday season.
