February is American Heart Month, and during this month, we want to emphasize the links between oral and heart health.

Inflammation and illness in the gums and teeth have long been linked to increased risks and severity of heart conditions. In addition to heart-healthy habits like exercise, smart nutrition choices, and limiting alcohol and smoking, we also encourage you to keep your mouth healthy.

You can begin eating solid foods 24 hours after wisdom teeth extraction, though it's best to stick to soft, cool food for the first week (your mouth will help enforce this). Also be sure to take care with acidic or spicy foods, which aren't particularly harmful, but can cause pain.

Wisdom teeth are the last molars to develop. They typically make an appearance between the ages of 17 and 25, although some may erupt earlier or later. These are also the molars most likely to erupt sideways, which is why they often cause issues such as pain and crowding.

If you begin to notice pain in your 20s, it likely could be due to impaction. To find out more and learn what you can do, read on in our helpful blog post at https://www.manchesteroralsurgery.com/why-do-wisdom-teeth-cause-pain-in-your-20s/

Missing teeth can affect your smile, speech, and even your food choices. Having a missing tooth also means you rely more on your remaining teeth, which increases the chance they will wear out prematurely.

Dental implants are a great solution for missing teeth. They act just like your natural teeth, help protect your bone structure, and help maintain your oral health.

Did you know birth control can increase your risk of dry socket after oral surgery?

The estrogen dose in oral contraceptives can as much as double the likelihood of dry socket. To offset risk, try scheduling extractions in the 4th week of a tablet cycle.

Did you know typical dental implants are made up of 3 components?

The actual implant is a metal screw placed into the jaw which bonds to the bone. The abutment forms the coupling body between implant and crown. The crown fixes to the abutment and acts as the tooth, and can be repaired or replaced like any other dental crown.

Cleft lip and palate occurs during the early stages of pregnancy and can cause complications for young children. Fortunately, an OMS can begin to correct cleft palate as early as 6 months old. Treating it early can vastly improve your child's tooth structure and language development.

A cleft lip is an upper lip that is split, something that affects one out of every 700 babies in the U.S. Find out more about cleft lip and cleft palate, here.
