Happy Halloween! 🎃🧛‍♀️🧟‍♀️

Your kids may be ready to indulge in sweet treats this Halloween, but don't let the holiday turn into an oral health nightmare.

Gummies, taffy, caramel—they all get stuck in the pits and grooves of teeth, where it's nearly impossible for saliva to wash them away. The longer that candy remains stuck in the teeth, the higher the risk of developing cavities. Encourage children to brush their teeth following candy consumption. If a toothbrush isn't handy, give them a glass of water to help swish away the sugars.

If the candy is sour, however, hold off on the brushing. Sour candy is likely acidic, so it's best to wait at least 30 minutes to an hour before brushing. The action of brushing can actually spread the acid onto more tooth surfaces, increasing its erosive action on tooth enamel.

We use a colored solution on every child in our office to show them the areas they are missing when brushing. The purple sticks to the plaque on their teeth 😝 We then have them brush it all off, focusing on those colored areas so they know where to get at home!

Your mouth, like everyone else’s, contains millions of bacteria. They are the culprits that cause cavities in our teeth. When you eat foods that are rich in carbohydrates and sugars, these bacteria thrive. They spread through your saliva and cling to teeth in the form of plaque. They then excrete acid to slowly break down the protective enamel coating on your teeth. In time, a pit will begin to form in the structure of a tooth. This is called a cavity.

I am proud to be able to offer all of my patients' mercury-free fillings for situations like these.

Today we would like to remind you to book your mammogram in honor of 💕

The National Breast Cancer Foundation reports that a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every two minutes. Innovations in research, surgical options, and clinical trials give women many more options. With early detection, a woman’s survival rate goes up. That’s why breast self-exams are an important way for women to give their “girls” a fighting chance, especially during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

We use digital x-rays at our dental office in Encino, which cuts back on the amount of radiation that you will be exposed to. We also take the time to give you thorough oral cancer screenings at each visit so that you can stay safe from this dangerous disease.

Our staff knows that dental anxiety is real and exactly how common it can be. This is why we offer our patients sedation dentistry to give them a bit of extra help to relax. If you have been steering clear of dental care because of anxiety, simply call us today and we will talk with you about your options for sedation: http://bit.ly/30poRBm

Do your teeth look like this? 👀

This is a before & after from a cleaning. Plaque buildup on the teeth leads to tartar, a rock-like deposit that causes gum issues. Brushing alone will never remove tartar from your teeth, only a professional cleaning will get the job done!

Crown prep is serious business 😜

We use a hemostatic agent on the gums called Traxodent when preparing for a crown. After the agent is added, we place some cotton on the tooth while it works. In this instance, we were working on the two front teeth, resulting in this funny looking smile 🐰
