Extend the life of your dental bridge! Want to ensure your dental bridge lasts as long as possible? Most dental bridges have a lifespan of between 10 and 15 years, but with proper care, yours may last longer! Here are three ways to extend the life of your bridge: (1) brush and floss every day, (2) avoid hard, crunchy foods, (3) use a fluoride rinse.

Dental Crown Aftercare For at least 48 hours after a dental crown has been placed, patients should use caution when eating, brushing, and flossing. It’s completely normal to experience sensitivity and tenderness around the crown or gum area. To ensure the tooth heals properly, follow these tips: wait 30-60 minutes before eating, avoid chewy or sticky foods, brush gently, floss carefully, and take pain relievers when necessary. After a few days, you can return to normal (but not harmful!) habits and routines.

Thank you to all our Dental Assistants!

How do energy drinks affect your teeth? Although not all energy drinks contain sugar, they are all highly acidic. In fact, the acidity in most energy drinks is double that of sports drinks. In those conditions, the enamel on our teeth quickly dissolves. Consuming too many energy drinks can lead to rotting teeth. Yikes! Try replacing your daily energy drink with green tea, protein shakes, or smoothies for a healthier mouth and body.
