Health Benefits of Having Straight Teeth

Many people are not aware that there are definite benefits to one’s health by having straight properly aligned teeth. Of course it’s nice to have a beautiful confident smile, however having your teeth straightened can significantly improve your dental health. The truth is that a smile is hardly perfect if your teeth and gums are not healthy. With Invisalign®, you can have a dazzling smile plus reduce your risk for gum disease and tooth decay. 

Improved Dental Health 

When teeth are crowded together or have wide spaces in between, the result can be red swollen gums. These are symptoms of periodontal disease. When teeth are straight and properly aligned, the gums fit more snugly around each tooth, which is a very strong defense against periodontal problems. Invisalign’s comfortable clear aligners discretely move your teeth gently and gradually into the correct position, without any brackets or wires. 

Easily Clean Teeth

One of the main risks to health with braces is how to remove all the trapped food that gets caught in the wires and brackets. This situation can lead to a buildup of plaque and possibly tooth decay. Invisalign aligners are completely removable, so you can brush and floss your teeth as you have always done. 

General Health

The condition of your teeth is a representation of your overall health. How your teeth and gums appear when you smile says a lot to others about how well you take care of yourself. If you care enough to have good dental health, then you most likely are taking good care of your overall health.

Gum disease and tooth decay result from a buildup of bacteria. If left untreated, mouth sores can develop as well as bad breath, bleeding gums, and loss of teeth. The American Dental Association has conducted studies that reveal that oral infections can lead to more serious medical conditions, 

such as:

·         Heart disease

·         Stroke

·         Pneumonia

·         Diabetes

Invisalign aligners allow you to easily maintain good oral hygiene, which reduces all these health risks. Properly aligned straight teeth can also resolve other issues caused by chewing or speech difficulties, an improper bite, wearing down of tooth enamel and jaw problems. Invisalign addresses all these orthodontic problems, so that you do not risk both your dental and overall health. And in the end you will have a gorgeous confident smile.

The importance of Dental X-rays

 

Schedule a dental exam today!

Dental x-rays are needed when you are added as a new patient and ongoing every 6-18 months, depending on the your particular needs. X-rays help us find hidden dental decay, impacted teeth, show bone loss, cysts, abscesses and more.

Our office uses digital X-rays, which have several advantages of traditional X-rays. For instance,:

• Less Radiation: Digital X-ray provide an 80% reduction in radiation
• More Comfortable for You: Biting the paper tab used in taking traditional X-rays can be uncomfortable and push up against your mouth in awkward ways. Digital X-rays work differently by putting a small sensor in your mouth connected by a thin wire to a computer. X-rays are sent out to the sensor through your teeth to capture the image. The sensor can be moved to take other images. 
• Quick Developing: Typically they are ready in as short of a time as 3 seconds.
• Magnified Images: Digital X-rays are easily displayed at larger sizes. We are even able to magnify the image to show you close up any tooth decay or abnormalities.
• Earth Friendly: Digital X-rays are electronic so they save us from needing to use chemicals or film. They also make processing insurance claims faster.

X-rays are an important part of your dental visit, because they help us diagnose problems we can’t see on the surface. Digital X-rays are just one way we are working to make your visits better.
Have a great day!

Mesa AZ Dentist & The Foods That Stain Your Teeth

Below is a list of some of the most common food and drinks that can stain your teeth. Mesa AZ Dentist Dr. Gary Robison is not suggesting that you entirely remove these foods or drinks from your diet but merely limit your intake and pay closer attention to your dental hygiene after you consume any of the following food of drinks.

1. CRANBERRY JUICE is highly pigmented and can cause yellowing of the teeth. Cranberry juice contains very high amounts of sugar in order to offset its natural bitter taste and as we all know, sugar isn’t very good for teeth.

2. BLACK TEA cause the worst stains, so stick to the light colored teas- green, white and herbal blends.

3. BEETS are richly pigmented and can stain teeth, especially if you don’t brush your teeth within an hour after eating them.

4. COLA is  not only staining, but is also full of harmful phosphoric, citric acids and sugars that erode tooth enamel and cause tooth decay, which leads to a dull, ugly smile. Since most people like their soda cold, this creates further dental problems. Cold drinks make tooth enamel more porous and vulnerable to staining.

5. BLACK COFFEE: Bad news for coffee lovers- those daily cups of java that you love are dimming your smile. The darker the coffee, the worse it is for your teeth.

6. POPSICLES dyes that color your lips and tongue funny colors are also staining your teeth. Plus, they’re full of sugar and the cold iciness opens up the porous surface of your tooth enamel, which causes even worse staining.

7. TOMATO SAUCE is highly acidic and much like soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, clings to teeth and causes stains.

8. SOY SAUCE sticks to teeth and its deep colored pigments can cause bad stains

9. BLUEBERRIES deep berry blue can cause deep staining on your teeth, so be sure to rinse your mouth out thoroughly with water.

10. BALSAMIC VINEGAR is a lot like soy sauce- it is deeply pigmented, clings to teeth and causes tooth discoloration.

11. RED WINE: It contains polyphenol and those polyphenols are also responsible for causing tooth staining and the alcohol in red wine is highly acidic and wears away tooth enamel, exposing the soft yellow dentin underneath.
