Any Time, Any Place: Cam Newton's Guide to Flossing

AnyTimeAnyPlaceCamNewtonsGuidetoFlossing

When is the best time to floss your teeth: Morning? Bedtime? How about: whenever and wherever the moment feels right?

For Cam Newton, award-winning NFL quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, the answer is clearly the latter. During the third quarter of the 2016 season-opener between his team and the Denver Broncos, TV cameras focused on Newton as he sat on the bench. The 2015 MVP was clearly seen stretching a string of dental floss between his index fingers and taking care of some dental hygiene business… and thereby creating a minor storm on the internet.

Inappropriate? We don't think so. As dentists, we're always happy when someone comes along to remind people how important it is to floss. And when that person has a million-dollar smile like Cam Newton's — so much the better.

Of course, there has been a lot of discussion lately about flossing. News outlets have gleefully reported that there's a lack of hard evidence at present to show that flossing is effective. But we would like to point out that, as the saying goes, “Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” There are a number of reasons why health care organizations like the American Dental Association (ADA) still firmly recommend daily flossing. Here are a few:

  • It's well established that when plaque is allowed to build up on teeth, tooth decay and gum disease are bound to follow.
  • A tooth brush does a good job of cleaning most tooth surfaces, but it can't reach into spaces between teeth.
  • Cleaning between teeth (interdental cleaning) has been shown to remove plaque and food debris from these hard-to-reach spaces.
  • Dental floss isn't the only method for interdental cleaning… but it is recognized by dentists as the best way, and is an excellent method for doing this at home — or anywhere else!

Whether you use dental floss or another type of interdental cleaner is up to you. But the ADA stands by its recommendations for maintaining good oral health: Brush twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste; visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and checkups; and clean between teeth once a day with an interdental cleaner like floss. It doesn't matter if you do it in your own home, or on the sidelines of an NFL game… as long as you do it!

If you would like more information about flossing and oral hygiene, contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Right for You?

Tags: cosmetic dentistry  

Would you like to improve your smile, but aren't sure if there's an effective way to address your problem? Dr. John Koechley, your cosmetic dentistryBatavia, IL, dentist, explains how cosmetic dentistry can help you look your best.

Your teeth are dull or stained

It's not unusual for your teeth to lose their luster after years of use. Thanks to the natural effects of aging and stains caused by darkly colored foods and beverages, your previously bright smile may now look more beige than white. Luckily, professional teeth whitening can remove those stubborn stains and give you back the smile you remember. Both in-office treatment and take-home kits are available.

If professional whitening doesn't get your teeth quite as white as you prefer, there's another option. Your Batavia, IL, dentist can apply dental veneers to the fronts of your teeth for all-over whiteness. The thin porcelain shells are stain resistant and available in a variety of shades.

You don't like the way a tooth looks

Do you have one tooth that you would like to change? It may be chipped, discolored or just unattractive. Both veneers and crowns can cover these imperfections. Crowns are shells that slip over teeth and help stabilize them. They're a must if a tooth is cracked, fragile or broken. Veneers not only conceal flaws, but can also close up small gaps and lengthen short teeth. If your gap is large or your tooth is very short, crowns may be a better option than veneers.

Composite bonding is another option if you're concerned about the appearance of a tooth. Your dentist shapes composite resin to fit your tooth, then hardens it with a curing light. Bonding is used to repair defects and make alternations to the length and shape of teeth.

You have missing teeth

Missing teeth aren't just an appearance issue. Failing to replace a lost tooth can make it difficult to chew or speak and even cause trouble with your bite, which may lead to painful temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). Replacing missing teeth with bridges, dentures or dental implants offer an excellent way to restore your smile.

Could you benefit from a cosmetic dentistry treatment? Call Dr. Koechley, your Batavia, IL, dentist, at (630) 406-9441 to schedule an appointment.

Cleaning Your Oral Appliance Extends its Life and Ensures Good Health

CleaningYourOralApplianceExtendsitsLifeandEnsuresGoodHealth

Oral appliances run the gamut from night guards and retainers to full or partial dentures. Millions of people depend on them for restoring or maintaining dental health.

Today's user-friendly appliances reflect the latest advances in technology. But that doesn't mean you can simply "place them and forget them." Their longevity depends on taking care of them.

The most important aspect of appliance care is keeping them clean. Although bacteria have no effect on an appliance's materials, they can accumulate on its surfaces and raise the risk your natural teeth and gums will be infected. To reduce that risk you should clean your appliance every day.

The best way is with a countertop ultrasonic cleaner. These units emit high frequency sound vibrations that loosen plaque (a thin film of bacteria and food particles) from even the appliance's tiniest crevices. Most units cost between $40 and $60, and pose less of a scratching risk to the appliance's surfaces than manual cleaning.

If you'd prefer to use a brush, there are some dos and don'ts to follow. You can use a cleaner especially designed for your appliance, but less expensive mild dish detergent or hand soap (with an antibacterial agent) will work too. Don't use toothpaste — most contain an abrasive ingredient for removing plaque from enamel that could leave microscopic scratches on your appliance. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush (but not the one you use for your natural teeth) or one designed for your appliance.

While boiling kills bacteria, the high heat can soften and warp the plastic material in an appliance. This could alter how the appliance fits in your mouth, making them loose and uncomfortable to wear. You should also avoid bleach: it can whiten acrylic or nylon designed to mimic the red color of real gum tissue.

Unless we've advised you otherwise, don't wear the appliance around the clock, a practice that raises the chances of bacterial accumulation. And be sure you also brush and floss your natural teeth every day.

Keeping both your mouth and your appliance clean helps ensure the best oral health possible — and that your appliance will last longer.

If you would like more information on caring for oral appliances, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation.
