🚨 White patches in your mouth? Don’t ignore this 👀🦷

Oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the soft tissues inside the mouth 👄 It’s believed to be an autoimmune condition, meaning the immune system mistakenly attacks the oral tissues. While there’s no cure, it can be successfully managed with proper care and ongoing monitoring 💙

✨ What does oral lichen planus look like?
🤍 White, lacy or web-like patches on the cheeks or tongue
🔥 Red, swollen, or irritated areas
⚠️ Open sores that may feel sore, sensitive, or painful

🧠 Little-known fact
Only about 2% of people are affected by oral lichen planus, and it’s most common in women over 50👩‍⚕️ It’s not contagious and not cancerous, but it does need regular professional follow-up.

🦷 How we help at North Raleigh Periodontics & Implant Center
🔬 A biopsy is often used to confirm the diagnosis
🪥 Gentle oral care with mild toothpaste and soft-bristle brushes
💊 Treatment may include numbing gels, topical steroids, or medications as needed
🎯 The goal is to reduce discomfort and keep symptoms under control

⚠️ Why monitoring matters
While oral lichen planus itself isn’t harmful, it can increase the risk of other issues—so routine checkups at least twice a year are key ✔️

✨ The good news
With the right treatment, healthy habits 🥗🏃‍♀️, stress management 😌, and regular dental visits, oral lichen planus is very manageable.

Fresh breath, healthier gums, and no surgery? Yes please 😁✨

Bad breath isn’t always about gum or mints 🍬 Often, it’s a sign of gum disease hiding below the gum line where brushing and flossing can’t reach 🦠

That’s where Perio Trays come in 🦷
Perio Trays are custom-made, comfortable, and non-invasive, delivering prescription medication deep under the gums right where infection starts. Best part? Treatment is easy and done at home 🏡 while you watch TV, shower, or go about your day

Why patients love Perio Trays
🪥 Simple, self-administered treatment
🦠 Reduces harmful gum disease bacteria by up to 90 percent
😁 Fresher breath and prescription-strength whitening
💺 May help reduce the need for surgery and improve long-term outcomes
⏱️ Convenient and easy to stay consistent with

Gum disease is linked to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, respiratory disease, Alzheimer’s, colorectal cancer, and pregnancy complications ❤️ Treating the infection supports not just healthier gums, but overall health

Many patients notice whiter teeth and fresher breath in just a few days ✨ Perio Trays give you more control over your gum health whether you’re in early stages or managing chronic gum disease

📞 Ask our hygiene team about Perio Trays or call North Raleigh Periodontics and Implant Center to learn if this treatment is right for you

Your gums do more than hold your teeth in place… they’re the foundation of your entire smile 😁🦷

In the current January/February issue of Midtown Magazine, Dr. Singletary shares expert-approved ways to strengthen and protect your gum health—because healthy gums impact far more than just your teeth 👇

🪥 Brush more often and gently
Brushing after meals and before bed helps reduce bacteria that irritate the gums. Use an extra-soft toothbrush and focus along the gumline. No toothbrush handy? A quick rinse with water still helps 💧

🦷 Clean between your teeth daily
Flossing, interdental brushes, or a water flosser reach areas brushing can’t—where gum disease often begins. If your gums bleed, stay consistent. Water flossers are especially effective for implants, crowns, and bridges

👀 Watch for early warning signs
Gum disease is often painless at first. Bleeding, redness, swelling, persistent bad breath, or gums pulling away from teeth are signs to take seriously. Early care leads to simpler, more effective treatment

😬 Don’t ignore nighttime habits
Clenching or grinding during sleep can place excess force on gums and bone, worsening inflammation. Morning jaw soreness or headaches may be clues

🧬 Get a personalized assessment
Not all gum disease is the same. Advanced bacterial DNA testing helps identify the specific bacteria present, allowing for more precise, personalized treatment and better long-term results

Your mouth might be the missing link to your whole-body health 👀🦷
10 simple steps to a healthier YOU in 2026 — starting with your gums ✨

Swipe through and save these science-backed habits 👇

1️⃣ Brush up to 4x a day 🪥
Gentle brushing after meals helps disrupt plaque and reduce inflammation.
Tip: Use a soft brush and light pressure — think massage, not scrub.

2️⃣ Clean between your teeth daily 🦷
Floss, interdental brushes, or water flossers reach areas brushing can’t.
Tip: Choose the tool you’ll actually use — consistency matters most.

3️⃣ Keep regular periodontal maintenance visits 📅
Professional care helps control inflammation and detect changes early.
Tip: These visits are preventive, not “just cleanings.”

4️⃣ Manage stress & prioritize quality sleep 😴
Chronic stress raises inflammation throughout the body, including the gums.
Tip: Walking, prayer, or breathing — even a few minutes daily helps.

5️⃣ Eat nutrient-dense foods & stay hydrated 🥗💧
Whole foods support healing and immune health.
Tip: Limit frequent snacking to give your mouth time to rebalance.

6️⃣ Avoid to***co & limit alcohol 🚭
Both increase inflammation and slow gum healing.
Tip: Cutting back — even without quitting completely — can help.

7️⃣ Replace your toothbrush or brush head every 3 months 🔄
Worn bristles don’t clean effectively and can harbor bacteria.
Tip: If bristles are splayed, replace sooner.

8️⃣ Support enamel remineralization 🦷
Some patients choose fluoride-free options with hydroxyapatite, erythritol, or potassium nitrate.
Tip: Ask your dental professional what fits your needs.

9️⃣ Be consistent, not perfect 🔁
Small daily habits create long-term gum and systemic health.
Tip: Progress always beats perfection.

🔟 Invest in your oral health for life 💙
Healthy gums support a healthier body — today and in the years ahead.
