Strong tooth enamel is the key to healthy teeth and avoiding problems with tooth decay and sensitivity. This is thanks to the dense mineral matrix that transforms your tooth enamel into a strong, protective shield. However, problems with your daily oral hygiene routine, failure to attend your regular dental checkup or a propensity for consuming acidic foods and beverages can weaken the mineral strength of your teeth.

This leaves your teeth increasingly vulnerable to bacterial tooth decay and tooth sensitivity.

One easy method to bolster the strength of your tooth enamel is to have Dr. Sean and Dr. Sepi administer a fluoride treatment at Plaza Dental Care. This introduces a potent amount of fluoride directly to your tooth enamel, bolstering the mineral density.

It can also help reduce the microscopic pores in your teeth that cause tooth sensitivity. It’s also important to note that while the fluoride treatment cannot reverse existing cavities, it can significantly reduce your chances of suffering a new cavity.

Reducing your consumption of acidic foods and beverages will go a long way toward preventing future demineralization effects. You should also brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste that has earned the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance.

Our dentists might also prescribe fluoride supplements to help you maintain healthy teeth on a daily basis. This often comes in the form of a concentrated fluoride toothpaste or fluoride mouthrinse.

If you live in the Vallejo, California, area and you’re concerned about the strength of your tooth enamel, you should call 707-642-1360 to explore your fluoride options at our office.

Halloween can be a scary time for your smile, especially if you don’t take good care of your teeth. So, to help you scare away dental issues this Halloween, our Plaza Dental Care team recommends doing the following things:

-Brush your fangs: Brushing is very important, so make sure to brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. The soft bristles will deeply clean your teeth and care for your gums and the fluoride toothpaste will strengthen your teeth, giving them the ability to fight the harmful particles candy leaves behind.

-Floss your chompers: Try to floss between your teeth at least once a day. Flossing will help remove the candy that is stuck in the crevices of your smile, which will help prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

-Avoid sticky, hard, and gooey treats: Sticky, hard, and gooey treats tend to stick to the smile for a long period of time. This is harmful because it can threaten your teeth and cause many dental issues. So, it’s best to avoid choosing these types of treats when you visit each house on Halloween night.

-Visit your dental issue-fighting hero, the dentist: Your dental checkup and cleaning is very beneficial. It removes the plaque and tartar from your teeth and it also strengthens your smile, increasing your chances of preventing dental issues that can be caused by Halloween treats. So, if you are due for your six-month checkup, now is a great time to visit your dentist!

If you do these things, you will be on the right track toward a smile-healthy Halloween in Vallejo, California! For more information and details about oral hygiene, dental checkups, and Halloween smile tips, please feel free to call our office today at 707-642-1360. Dr. Khashayar Khomejany and our dental team are more than happy to help you, and we look forward to hearing from you!
