Have you met our dental assistant James? 🤩

He has been a dental assistant at LDC for 3 years and assisting for a total of 8 years ⏰ James loves challenges, helping others, educating others, learning different cultures, travelling, hiking, and all sports!

James is currently in school for acupuncture and herbal medicine 🌿

🍎✏️ Here are some back-to-school dental tips to keep their smiles bright and healthy:

🪥 Replace your child’s toothbrush every three months or after any illness. Choose a toothbrush with soft bristles and an appropriate size for your child’s age

🍓 Ensure you have fluoride toothpaste that your child likes. Consider a fun flavor to make brushing more enjoyable

⏰ Create a routine that includes brushing twice a day for two minutes and flossing once a day

🌟 Implement a reward chart to encourage and track your child’s brushing and flossing habits

🥦 Include fruits, vegetables, cheese, and yogurt in your child’s lunchbox. Avoid sugary snacks and drinks that can lead to cavities

💧 Encourage drinking water throughout the day. Water helps wash away food particles and keeps the mouth hydrated

⚽ If your child participates in sports, invest in a custom-fitted mouthguard to protect their teeth from injuries

🏅 Make sure they wear the mouthguard during all practices and games

We did it again! 🥰

Don't let the name intimidate you! A frenulectomy is a common and simple procedure to address issues related to the frenulum, often necessary for children and sometimes adults

🔍 What is a Frenulum?
The frenulum is a small piece of tissue connecting your tongue, cheeks, and lips to your gums. The most common frenums needing attention are:

◾ Lingual Frenum: Connects your tongue to the floor of your mouth
◾ Maxillary Labial Frenum: Attaches your gums and upper lip above your front teeth

Children can experience issues when their frenums are too large and prevent them from freely moving their tongue. This interference with speech is what is commonly referred to as being “tongue-tied"

A frenulectomy may be necessary for an adult who has an oversized frenulum, which can result in a wide variety of common problems, including the following:

◾ Jaw pain
◾ Difficulty eating
◾ Difficulty talking

Dental decay, also known as cavities or caries, is a common but preventable oral health issue that affects people of all ages ⏳

It begins when the bacteria in your mouth convert sugars from food into acids. These acids then attack the enamel, the hard, outer layer of your teeth. Over time, repeated acid attacks can break down the enamel and lead to the formation of cavities 😶

The process of decay starts with the formation of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that coats your teeth. If not removed by regular brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional. As plaque and tartar accumulate, they create an environment where bacteria can thrive, further accelerating the decay process 🦷

Left untreated, dental decay can cause pain, infection, and even tooth loss. Moreover, tooth decay can impact your confidence and the way you interact with others, making it crucial to address the issue promptly ⏰

✨ Dental Myth - If your gums bleed when you brush, it’s best to stop brushing

➡️ Fact: Bleeding gums are often a sign of gingivitis, an early stage of gum disease. Continue brushing gently and flossing, and visit your dentist for an evaluation 🔍

Invisalign is a versatile treatment that can address a variety of dental issues 🦷 Some of the common problems that Invisalign can treat include:

🌟 CROWDED TEETH: When there isn’t enough space in your jaw for all of your teeth to fit normally, they can overlap and twist. Invisalign aligners gradually move your teeth into a better position, creating a straighter smile

🌟 GAPS: Spaces between teeth can occur due to abnormal growth of the jawbone or missing teeth. Invisalign helps to close these gaps, enhancing both function and appearance

🌟 BITE ISSUES: Invisalign can be used to treat overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites

🌟 MINOR RELAPSES: Even if you don’t have severe issues, Invisalign can still be beneficial for improving the overall alignment of your teeth, giving you a more harmonious smile!

What is the process for Invisalign for adults? 🤔

During your initial evaluation, Dr. Tracey Nguyen or Dr. Steven Frames will thoroughly examine your smile to determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign 🔍 If so, they will create a digital treatment plan using our iTero scanner. Your custom aligners will then be made in a lab, a process that takes a few weeks. Depending on your case, you may need a single aligner or a full set for more severe issues

Once ready, you will start the Invisalign treatment, wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours daily, removing them only to eat or clean 🧼 Aligners are typically replaced every one or two weeks to gradually shift your teeth into alignment. Regular checkups are necessary to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan if needed 📝

🔎 There are many contributing factors that make some children more susceptible to airway problems than others. Some of these factors include:

-Being overweight
-Family history of sleep apnea
-Defect of mouth, throat or jaw structure
-Features surrounding the airway are underdeveloped

Airway problems can lead to many more health problems like sleep apnea in adulthood that can cause high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke 😥

Another reason to seek treatment for your child is to help them avoid developing severe orthodontic issues like malocclusions which can be expensive and painful to treat in the future 💰
