Did you know? Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, stronger than bones! You can also exert an average of 200 pounds of pressure when you bite down. That being said, you should never use your teeth as a tool for opening or holding things. This can significantly increase the risk of cracking your teeth. #toothenamel #teeth #dentistsinsimivalley #dentist #dentistry #gonzalezdentalgroup #strong #tooth #enamel #smile #healthygums #healthyeating #simivalleydenstist

Root Canal A root canal procedure involves the removal of the diseased pulp along with the tooth’s nerve (located within a tooth’s root canal). The pulp chamber and root canal(s) of your tooth are then cleaned, medicated and sealed. A dental crown or other restorative treatment is used to protect and strengthen the tooth. #rootcanal #dentist #dentistsinsimivalley #dentistry #rootcanaltreatment #teeth #gonzalezdentalgroup #healthygums #smile #tooth #simivalleydenstist

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF GINGIVITIS Gingivitis is the earliest form of gum disease. Early diagnosis is important to address this preventable disease. Common symptoms of gingivitis include red, puffy gums, blood in the sink during routine brushing, and bad breath. If left untreated, gingivitis can lead to moderate or advanced periodontitis which have symptoms like tooth sensitivity, receding gums, and even tooth loss.... - Red, Puffy, or Receding Gums Healthy gums are pink and firm. If your gums become red, puffy/swollen, tender to the touch or blood starts appearing frequently in the sink when you’re brushing your teeth, chances are that you have gingivitis. If you notice receding gums or gums that pull away from your teeth, this is another classic sign of gum disease, or periodontitis. These are all signs that proper oral care is needed. - Bleeding Gums Common as it may seem to be, it’s never natural to see bleeding gums when brushing or flossing. You may think that you’re just brushing too hard, but frequent gum bleeding is a likely sign that you have gingivitis. As plaque and tartar stay on your teeth, the gingiva becomes more irritated, causing your gums to become swollen, red, inflamed, and tender. These conditions cause gums to bleed easily, especially while brushing or flossing. According to the ADA, bleeding gums caused by gingivitis are completely reversible. Brushing twice daily and using an antiseptic mouthwash are important steps to stop bleeding gums. - Bad Breath Bad breath can also be an indicator of early stage gum disease. Usually caused by plaque buildup on the tongue, bad breath is a sign that plaque and bacteria aren’t being properly removed. - Pain, Sensitivity and Other Advanced Signs If the conditions in the mouth aren’t addressed, the symptoms of gingivitis may get worse and progress to periodontitis. Pain when chewing, sensitivity to hot and cold, receding gums, and loose teeth are all signs of more advanced gum disease like moderate or advanced periodontitis.

Let’s talk about what Causes Dental Phobia and Anxiety? There are many reasons why some people have dental phobia and anxiety. Some of the common reasons include: Fear of pain. ... Fear of anesthetic side effects. Feelings of helplessness and loss of control. Embarrassment about your oral health. Bad experience in the past. Feelings of nervousness that escalate while in the dental office waiting room. Crying or feeling physically ill at the very thought of visiting the dentist. Intense uneasiness at the thought of, or actually when, objects are placed in your mouth during the dental treatment or suddenly feeling like it is difficult to breathe. Fortunately, there are ways to get people with dental anxiety and dental phobia to the dentist. The key to lower dental anxiety is to discuss your fears with your dentist. Once your dentist knows what your fears are, he or she will be able to work with you to determine the best ways to make you less anxious and more comfortable. Ask your dentist to explain what is happening at every stage of the procedure. This way you can mentally prepare for what is to come. Another helpful strategy is to establish a signal, such as raising your hand - when you want the dentist to immediately stop, need to rinse your mouth, or simply need to catch your breath.
