Family Dentist Las Vegas Discusses Tips To Maintain Healthy Teeth During the Holiday Season.

The amount of times you eat during the day and how long the food remains in between your teeth has a major effect on tooth decay.

Holiday sweets like gummy bears, and mints can stick to your teeth for hours which can penetrate your teeth enamel, resulting in cavities.

To reduce risks you may still enjoy holiday sweets if you:

• Eat sugary foods with your regular meals.
• Restrict the amount of snacks you consume after and before meals. Sugar free gum can be a healthy alternative.
• As always consume more water. Water will help you wash out the sugars.
• Floss after every meal and brush your teeth in the morning and at night.

Also, visit your dentist for your regular checkup. If you have more questions please visit  Family Dentist Las Vegas or call us at (702) 405-7400.

Implant Dentistry: The Basics

Las Vegas Dentist reviews the steps of implant dentistry procedures.

Our first step is to place the anchor and this step does require surgery. In some cases we will wait close to six months to for the appropriate bone structure to grow around the anchor. Certain implant cases will require a second procedure, which a post is attached allowing a connection with the anchor and replacement teeth.

Once the gums are healed (takes a few weeks), the new artificial teeth will be created to fit the post. Sometimes several fillings are required and this can take a couple of months to complete (1 to 2 months).

Las Vegas Cosmetic Dentist Discusses Cavity Prevention

At Family Dentist Las Vegas office Cheyenne Dental Group many patients ask about what they can do daily to prevent cavities (otherwise known as tooth decay). Tooth decay or cavities occur when bacteria penetrates the outer structure of your tooth and creates a hole which can lead to very painful and harmful infections. Patients who leave tooth decay untreated may also risk tooth loss. 

To prevent cavities we recommend patients to:

• Floss and brush daily
• Use fluoride toothpaste as recommended by the American Dental Association
• Maintain a diet low in sugars and starches
• Drink an ample amount of water

Lastly we recommend patients to program comprehensive exams every 6 months with their oral hygienist or dentist. For more information about maintaining your oral health, you may call our office at (702) 405-4500 or click Cosmetic Dentist Las Vegas.

Video Interview with Dr. My Tran of Cheyenne Dental Group

Periodontics Las Vegas Cheyenne Dental Group Dentist Reviews Periodontal Disease (Gum Disease)

Periodontal disease is the second most common problem that affects Americans behind dental caries. Periodontal disease develops when plaque and bacteria build up along and under the gum line.  This is a vicious disease because the symptoms are very mild compared to the damage that can occur with the disease.  This condition is not a reversible because the damage to the bone and loss of gum-line cannot be restored to the original position. Here are some frequently asked questions that my patients ask about periodontal disease and the therapy involved:

Q: How do you know I have periodontal disease, I am not in any pain?
A: Pain in the oral cavity is usually associated with damage to the nerve or the bone. The symptoms of periodontal disease are very mild because the loss of bone occurs at a slow rate (over several years).  These symptoms show minor bleeding when flossing or brushing.

Q: After scaling and root planning, all my teeth hurt and are very sensitive to hot and cold.  Why does that occur?
A: After periodontal therapy, a healing stage is required for new tissue cells to form around your teeth. This healing stage will make your teeth hypersensitive. This is very similar to pushing on a bruised area in your body. Also, when plaque and calculus were removed, the roots of your teeth are now exposed to the environment. Flouride concentrations may help reduce this sensitivity by binding to the dentinal roots. It will take several weeks for these symptoms to subside and go away.

Q: How do I prevent periodontal disease from happening again?
A: We are responsible for educating you about your oral health. This means keeping great hygiene with brushing after meals and flossing daily. And always maintain your continuing care visits.
