The smaller the numbers that Dr. Madwar calls out while examining your teeth's pocket depth the better! The gaps between your teeth and gum should be as small as possible.
If you hear alot of zeros and ones, that's excellent! If you hear mostly twos and threes, that means you have some inflammation that may be fixed by, perhaps, stepping up your flossing. If you hear fours or higher, you'll need deeper cleanings and may be on the cusp of gum disease.

When Dr. Madwar is examining your teeth and calls out "one, three, one, three, one, one" to the assistant, he's checking your teeth's "pocket depth." This is the space between your tooth and its surrounding gum. Those number are millimetre measurements.

Dr. Madwar knows that your orange juice is going to taste a little funny after you've brushed your teeth. If you really can't bring yourself to brush before breakfast, make sure you wait at least 30 minutes to brush after eating or drinking any citrus juice, coffee or tea.

Dr. Madwar says you should drink water after eating sugary Halloween candy. Studies show drinking or rinsing your teeth with water removes about 30% of the food and sugar in your mouth. Wait about 30 minutes, and then
brush your teeth.

Dr. Madwar loves Halloween, but he doesn't like all that sugar sitting on your teeth after you've eaten candy!
The bacteria that grow into acid in our mouths feed on sugar and starch. That acid removes minerals from your tooth enamel. The more sugar you eat, the more acid is formed. When the acid isn’t brushed away, your tooth enamel decays and causes cavities.

Dr. Madwar reminds patients to go gently when brushing teeth. “Too much pressure when you are brushing, even with a soft bristle brush, can damage your teeth and gums - and doesn’t get your teeth any cleaner. If you are concerned about discoloration, make an appointment to discuss whitening treatments.”

Why does Dr. Madwar recommend a soft bristle toothbrush? Firm bristles can damage your tooth enamel and hurt your gums and mouth tissue. A soft bristle toothbrush cleans just as thoroughly without harming your teeth.

Dr. Madwar may recommend an implant supported bridge if you have more than three teeth in a row that are missing.
This type of bridge will take some time to complete, as implants - small threaded posts - must fully integrate with your jawbone to act as missing teeth roots.

When you have missing teeth, Dr. Madwar may recommend a dental bridge.
A traditional bridge holds artificial teeth between two crowns. If your natural teeth are healthy on either side of the empty gap, this could be a good way to complete your smile.
