Don't Brush Too Hard

Brushing too hard can do more harm than good. Scrubbing aggressively doesn’t mean cleaner teeth. It can actually wear down enamel and irritate your gums. The trick is to use a soft-bristle toothbrush in gentle circular motions and brush for a full 2 minutes. Think of brushing like massaging rather than scrubbing. If your toothbrush bristles fray quickly or your gums bleed often, it might be time to rethink your technique.

Dry socket is a painful complication that can occur after a tooth extraction when the protective blood clot dislodges or dissolves too early. To minimize the risk, avoid smoking, using straws, and consuming hard or sticky foods during the initial healing period.

Save Those Teeth!

Don’t get a tooth pulled just because you think it’s easier or more cost-effective than other endodontic treatments. Missing teeth can actually cause your teeth to shift, affect your ability to chew properly, and misalign your smile. It can cause more problems – and more cost – in the long run! When possible, you should always consider treatments to save your natural teeth. Understand your options and how they’ll impact your quality of life and future dental health. Give us a call today!
