Brush your teeth at least once per day, but two times is better. Brush in the morning when you awake, and at night before you go to sleep. When possible, after meals, rinse your mouth out with water.
Floss once per day, usually towards the end of the day, to remove any particles and bacteria from between teeth.
Eat healthy balanced meals, and avoid sugary snacks or sticky foods that can stick to teeth.
Do not eat late night meals, and if you do, please make sure and brush before you go to bed.
Do not smoke or use tobacco products. They can weaken and stain teeth permanently.

Have you ever put off having a dental procedure done because you were scared?

If so, you are not alone. Many people avoid getting dental work done because they have a fear of the unknown.

No one wants cavities when they visit the dentist, so it is important to practice good oral hygiene at home and get regular dental check-ups to catch any problems early before they turn into a dental filling.

After all, good oral hygiene will reduce the risk of cavities and eliminate the need for a dental filling. Do not put off your dental check-ups. Good oral hygiene is related to overall good health.

Visit a Sunrise Dental office today to keep your mouth in tip-top shape without any cavities or fillings.

If it has been determined by your dental professional that a filling is needed to repair a cavity there are a variety of different materials that can be used for filling teeth. The two most common are amalgam fillings or silver or mercury fillings, made up of silver, tin, copper, zinc, and mercury, and composite resin fillings known as white fillings, tooth-colored fillings, and direct veneers. Both are viable options, but only a dental professional can determine what the best option for your filling is.

The average life of a filling is about 12 years. It is important to visit your dentist regularly so that your fillings can be examined. Between dental check-ups, it is also important to maintain good oral hygiene to prevent decay from occurring under the filling.

If you have many fillings or very large fillings, your dentist may prescribe a fluoride gel you can use at home. You can also use rinses that lower the acid level of your mouth. A lower acid level reduces decay-causing bacteria. This can lead to fewer cavities and dental fillings in the future.

Call a Sunrise Dental office today to schedule your check-up. Don’t let something simple turn into something more serious. The friendly staff at Sunrise Dental can help you with any questions you have concerning dental fillings.

What are the several types of materials used for dental veneers (porcelain, composite), and what are their differences?

Porcelain Veneers:

Dental ceramic for strength and durability.
Natural tooth translucency for a lifelike appearance.
Highly stain-resistant, maintaining brightness.
Robust against biting forces, lasting over a decade.

Composite Veneers:

Tooth-colored resin directly applied to teeth.
Natural look but may lack precise translucency.
More prone to staining, requiring periodic maintenance.
Durable but less resistant to chipping, lasting 5 to 7 years with care.

How long do dental veneers typically last?

Porcelain veneers can last 10-15+ years, with diligent care, while composite/resin veneers endure 5-7 years. Regular dental check-ups help maintain their longevity.

Are there any risks or potential complications associated with dental veneers?

Dental veneers, while safe, come with considerations: temporary tooth sensitivity, irreversible enamel removal, potential chipping, color match challenges, gum irritation, rare infection risk, occasional debonding, and the need for diligent maintenance. People considering veneers should be aware of these factors.

How do I care for and maintain my dental veneers once they are in place?

To keep veneers in decent shape:

Brush and floss regularly with non-abrasive products.
Limit staining substances like coffee and tobacco.
Schedule regular dental check-ups.
Avoid biting on hard objects.
Consider night guards if you grind your teeth.
Act promptly if you notice damage.
Follow post-care instructions for maintenance.
