Fun fact 🤓
Did you know that overnight we grow bacteria in our mouths even though we are just sleeping?! When we wake up in the morning it is imperative to brush it off our teeth. If we do not, and wait until after breakfast, we are feeding that bacteria all the food we just ate. When bacteria eats our food, it produces acid, and acid breaks down our teeth. Then if we brush right after eating we are brushing all that acid onto our teeth which can ruin the enamel, causing it to breakdown quicker. This causes decay. 🦷🦠

So, try to switch the morning brushing habit to before breakfast, not after! 💡🤯

Fun fact: Green tea helps your teeth!! 🍵
Catechins (aka a powerful antioxidant) kill oral bacteria and reduce the amount of plaque and acid that cause decay
The antibacterial properties of green tea reduce bad breath by reduce the bacteria that cause bad breath.
Anti-inflammatory flavonoids (aka another powerful type of antioxidant) reduce gum inflammation aka gingivitis.

*tea can cause staining so rinsing the mouth with water after drinking can help remove the tannins from sticking to the teeth which cause stain.

At first glance, one might think why did she choose to go through Invisalign?! The before picture is not that bad, she had fairly straight top teeth, what’s the big deal?! 🤷🏽‍♀️

The big deal starts with function and ends with longevity of her teeth. Invisalign is not all about aesthetics/ just having straight teeth. 🦷

At the Dental Care Center, we look at the whole picture, we look at the lifetime you have with your teeth. 👶➡️👩

For this example here, she has a deep bite. Her top teeth cover about 80% of her bottom teeth. And what you can’t see is her bottom teeth are slightly crowded. When you have crowing and a deep bite, it is a perfect storm for chipping, damage and wear. 🌊🌀⛈️

Beings that this patient was in her mid-twenties, and already having wear on her teeth, she made a wise choice of Invisalign. If she did not, she would have damaged her bottom teeth so much, by the time she was 60-70 years old she may have had half the tooth structure on the bottom teeth, than she did in the before photo. 🦷

By opening up her bite and aligning the teeth, she is now applying proper bite force and pressure in the correct position to give her this smile for a lifetime. No more wearing, chipping and damaging her teeth, just beautiful smiles for life! ❤️🦷😁

🦷At the Dental Care Center, we pride ourselves in comprehensive care. We treat you as we would treat our family. We value a variety of diagnostic tools, which incorporates x-rays.

🦷X-rays contain valuable information for our dentists to be able to give our patients the best overall care possible. X-rays allow us to have an insider view of the teeth to diagnose decay and periodontal disease as well as infections, cysts and more.

🦷Without x-rays, we would only be getting half the information. With X-rays, we are able to treat earlier and prevent infection/ disease much sooner.

🦷Over time, the digital technology of X-rays has skyrocketed and has become much more precise, fast, and efficient, which reduces the amount of radiation received. Though radiation is a concern, we take proper precautions, and make sure exposure is as low as possible.

🦷We like to check in with bite wing X-rays once a year, and do an overall view once every 5 years to ensure comprehensive care.

New year, new resolutions, new you! 🥳

This is the year to make your teeth part of your New Year’s resolutions. 😁

We’ve gathered our top teeth tips to help you keep your oral hygiene resolutions.
1. Night time😴  is the most important time to brush because we get a chance to remove all food debris and bacteria before going to bed. Our saliva naturally decreases during the night, and beings our saliva is a good buffer system for our teeth, we need to clean everything off our teeth to prevent bacteria from overgrowing.
2. Rinsing 💦after brushing is like wasting the ingredients in your toothpaste. Waiting 30 minutes after brushing to rinse is critical to let the ingredients in the toothpaste do its job.
3.Flossing is key 🔑 for ideal oral health. We can brush as much as we want but we are still missing 1/3 of the surface area of our teeth when we don’t floss. This gives decay- causing bacteria and periodontal bacteria a chance to grow and cause disease.
4. If you don’t want your teeth to move after orthodontic therapy, it is imperative to wear retainers the rest of your life at nighttime. 🦷
5.Aligned teeth are healthy teeth because they are easier to clean. When your teeth have the correct bite, you can chew better.

Happy new year and cheers to better teeth 🤩

✨W H I T E N I N G✨

At the Dental Care Center, we offer a variety of ways to enhance the whiteness of your teeth. 😁

🦷The way we like to start the whitening process is by starting conservatively. Moving up in terms of level of whiteness starts with toothpaste and ends with in-office whitening. The range varies in cost and effectiveness.

🦷Ideas to consider for whitening:
1. Everyone is different in terms of how white their teeth can get.
If you start with level one and want your teeth whiter, then move to level two and so on.
2. Staining food and drink hinders the whitening process. Try to drink through a straw and avoid staining foods.
3. The whitening process can bring about sensitivity. Using a high quality toothpaste like or can help alleviate sensitivity.
4. Whitening is a trial and error process, it also ebbs and flows. One product may work great for some people and not for others. That is why we offer a variety of products to suit our patients needs.
5. Some people’s teeth might stay white for a long time and others may need to do maintenance more frequently.
