| Dental Tips |
 Cough drops, antacids, and chewable vitamin C tablets typically contain cavity-producing sugar. Rinse with water after you use them; this neutralizes the acidity, which promotes tooth decay. |

| Hormones in birth-control pills can lead to chronic gum inflammation in some women. Careful oral hygiene and frequent dental cleanings may be all that is necessary to take care of the problem. |

| Braces create favorable environment for developing tooth decay and cavities. About 4 million of American children and about a million of adults are getting this orthodontic treatments, and all of them are in the risk group of having dental problems. |

| Remember that it is possible to get a missing tooth at any age. Some people never have some teeth developed, and this situation is quite frequent with the wisdom teeth, which in many cases do not appear or have to be removed. |

| Digital X-Rays |
Digital dental X-rays offer many advantages. Although the risk of radiation damage from normal X-rays is small, digital X-rays limit exposure by 70%, enhancing your safety significantly.
To take a digital X-ray of your teeth, we insert a tiny sensor into your mouth. The X-rays are then instantly transmitted to a computer screen, where your dentist will review them with you. You can see any problems for yourself while reviewing your treatment options together. Digital X-rays help you to be more informed about your own dental health. If you'd like to learn more about digital X-rays, please contact us today! |
