Many foods can improve your dental health, including foods that are high in nutrients, crunchy foods, and foods that contain specific nutrients: Here are 10 foods and drinks that improve your dental health:
Missing teeth can lead to oral problems, but implants and bridges can restore your smile and improve your overall dental health.
Few people will make it through life with a full set of teeth. By the age of 50, the average person has lost 12 permanent teeth to gum disease, injury or decay. Losing your teeth affects your smile and can also alter your bite and weaken your jawbone.
The words “relaxation” and “dentist” are rarely used in the same sentence. The mere thought of the dentist’s chair is enough to send some people’s heart-rates up. But what if we told you that at Sedation and Implant Dentistry of Tehachapi, we offer the residents of Kern County the option of a relaxing and calm dental experience?
This might sound too good to be true, but it’s not. At Sedation and Implant Dentistry of Tehachapi, Dr. Jose David Sanchez is qualified to administer medication that provides relief from the common anxieties many people feel when faced with visits to the dentist.
It’s uncomfortable to watch someone try to hide their missing teeth. It’s also uncomfortable to be the one who’s trying to hide them. Don’t let that be you. See this list of the 8 most common causes of tooth loss to evaluate whether or not you’re doing everything you can to keep your teeth for as long as possible.
When kids daydream all year about summer vacation, they’re thinking beaches, barbecues, movies and of course, no homework! Even if they daydream about a movie-star smile to match their trendy new shades, the last thing they’re thinking about is braces. Surprisingly enough, summer is actually the best time for kids and teens to start orthodontic treatments. Here are a few reasons why:
Does the mere thought of seeing the dentist make you nervous? If so, you are not alone. According to the American Association of Endodontists, more than 15 percent of Americans avoid visiting the dentist because of dental anxiety or fear. At Sedation and Implant Dentistry of Tehachapi, we regularly see patients who are nervous or scared of undergoing dental treatment. If you’re hesitant to visit the dentist, read our tips for easing dental anxiety and fear below.
When you’re missing a tooth, it’s more than just a cosmetic problem. Tooth loss can affect the health of your entire mouth. As you rely on your remaining teeth to do all the heavy lifting, they may begin to wear out prematurely or even crack under the pressure. What’s more, having a missing tooth can impact your bite and your speech, and you may even experience headaches or jaw pain.
We depend on our teeth for so many things. Chewing, biting, speaking, smiling, whistling, the list goes on. Despite how well we take care of our teeth with regular brushing and flossing, they can become chipped, cracked, or eventually worn down. Worse yet, tooth decay causes some people to lose their teeth all together. When this happens, the issue isn’t only cosmetic. If the structure of your teeth becomes compromised, it can affect the health of your entire mouth.
If you wear dentures, you’re probably well acquainted with the various ways in which they can hamper your freedom of expression and your quality of life. If you received your dentures in the past decade or two, you may have considered and ultimately dismissed dental implants as an option because of the time and cost associated with them.
Had a minor emergency this morning and the Dentist was able to get me in, cement my old implant tooth and get me back on the road. He wasn’t the one that did the original implant but was willing to do the work – which is hard to find by the way. Plus…..he is down to earth, an overall nice guy and family guy. I highly recommend Dr. Sanchez, DDS. You won’t be disappointed.
