Dental Health and Your Diet Sugar is the main cause of dental decay when there are bacteria present. More significant than the amount of sugar you eat is the frequency of consumption. diet Probably the worst thing you can do to your teeth is to drink a soda and have a sip every few minutes over a long period of time; the same is true for snacking. It is recommended that if you want to have a snack or soda or juice it is better to have it after food, as dessert, or have it in ...one sitting. Eating or drinking something sweet over an extended period of time creates a constant supply of sugar for bacteria that causes tooth decay! It is important to be aware of all the sources of sugar that are out there. It is not just everything that is sweet, but anything that can turn to sugar like pieces of bread. Cutting down your sugar intake is good for cavity prevention, as well as your general health. But what about when you have to have sugar? The best way to avoid cavities is to prevent the sugar from staying next to your teeth. Brushing after eating sugar, rinsing your mouth with Fluoride mouth wash, or chewing sugarless gum can help. However, nothing has the effect of avoiding sugar! Is there any kind of food that prevents tooth decay? Well, not really. Some people believed that chewing foods like apples and carrots may have some plaque removal effect, but they still contain some sugar so any advantage is not clear. Another group of food that causes significant damage to teeth structure is acidic foods. If in frequent contact with teeth, things like lime, lemon, and grapefruit can cause serious irreversible damage (erosion) to your teeth.

The pinhole surgical technique is the latest innovative gum surgery for receding gums invented by Dr. Chao. Many of us are suffering from painful root sensitivity due receding gum line. The recession of gum is caused by many reasons such as excessive brushing, occlusal trauma on the teeth that are involved due to malocclusion, excessive nocturnal grinding of teeth, over expansion of jaw during orthodontic treatments, and so on. The exposed dentins due to recession of gums in ...oral cavity caused lots of root sensitivities and pains for most of us. Traditionally, receding gums are treated by free gingival graft surgeries and the recovery period of the surgeries are prolong due to two surgical sites are involved. People who had free gingival surgeries most often complained of moderate pain and swellings. The PST (pinhole technique) is the most minimally invasive gum surgery to treat recession of gums involving no incision and minimal post operative swelling and discomfort. I am one of few dentists fortunate enough to provide the pinhole technique to everyone who are suffering from sensitivities due to receding gums with blessing of Dr. Chao, the creator of the pinhole technique. see this video http://youtu.be/fXB9wwQNvK8
