To Our Valued Patients, It has been an incredibly strange and unpredictable few weeks for all of us. Through the barrage of information that is hitting us on an hourly basis, we remember that our purpose is to provide care to our patients in whatever capacity we can. Public Health Authorities mandated dental offices to stay closed till 4/30 or further notice. In few days we will update you on how to make virtual consultation appointment online. If you are experiencing a true... dental emergency such as pain, swelling or other serious issues, we will be available to help in any way we can and will determine the best and safest course of action on a case-by-case bases. We remain available 24/7 by phone (562) 425-0545 or email [email protected] to address your questions/concerns . Sincerely, Your Team at All Smiles Dental Group (562)425-0545 [email protected]

DENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS are on the front lines of the fight against oral cancer. We encourage our patients to join the fight by staying informed about symptoms and risk factors, and we want to pay special attention to this issue during Oral Cancer Awareness Month. Most people know tobacco use is a major oral cancer risk factor. Frequent, heavy alcohol consumption is the next biggest factor. Men are twice as likely to develop oral cancer as women, and people over 45 are m...ore at risk. Less obvious risk factors include HPV, neglecting oral hygiene, and getting too much sun (which can cause lip cancer). Symptoms of oral cancer include a sore that doesn’t heal, red or white patches, an unusual lump, a strange thickness in the cheek, a persistent sensation of having something stuck in the throat, numbness of the mouth or tongue, difficulty chewing or swallowing, and chronic bad breath. The survival rates for oropharyngeal cancers have been increasing over the last thirty years, and we can continue that trend with awareness and early detection. Oral cancer screenings are often part of routine dental exams, and the dentist may spot the signs of oral cancer before the patient notices any symptoms just one more reason regular dental appointments are so important!

IT’S NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH, so let’s look at the role our food plays in our dental health. What are some of the foods we should avoid, and which ones should we be eating more often to protect our teeth and gums? To Avoid: Sugars, Starches, and Acids The bad bacteria in our mouths love eating any sugar left on our teeth after we eat something sweet, and they enjoy starchy foods too. After a big meal, those bacteria then excrete acid onto our teeth, eroding our tooth enamel ...and increasing the risk of tooth decay. When we eat or drink acidic things like soda or fruit juice, we’re applying acid directly to our teeth! Eat More: Dairy, Proteins, and Produce Dairy products like milk, plain yogurt, and cheese are low in sugar and high in protein and calcium, both of which we need for healthy teeth and gums. Poultry, fish, nuts, and eggs are other great sources of protein and they also contain phosphorus! Finally, fruits and veggies are high in water and fiber, which makes it harder for the sugar and acid in them to harm our teeth than when we only drink the juice.
