Dealing With Dry Mouth

Image
Below is an excerpt from an article found on Colgate.com that was written by the ADA A healthy adult produces about three pints of saliva each day. It's not the kind of thing you would give thought to very often, but that saliva plays a very important role in maintaining your health. Saliva serves many purposes. It contains enzymes that aid in digestion. Saliva makes it easier to talk, a fact recognized by those who experience stage fright and the associated dry mouth while giving a presentation.  Saliva also helps prevent tooth decay by washing away food and debris from the teeth and gums. It neutralizes damaging acids, enhances the ability to taste food and makes it easier to swallow. Minerals found in saliva also help repair microscopic tooth decay.  Everyone, at some time or another, experiences dry mouth, also called "xerostomia." It can happen when you are nervous, upset or under stress or as a result of medication you take or other medical therapies. If dr

Gum Disease Linked to Heart Disease

Gum Disease Can Contribute to Heart Disease and Even Stroke According to Dental Health Alberta, “Gum disease (periodontal disease) often progresses at a slow pace, with no pain. As a result, it is very common in many individuals. Gum disease is not just about your mouth – there is evidence linking gum disease to heart disease, respiratory disorders and strokes.”  It is estimated that as many as 8 out of 10 people may suffer, or be at risk, from gum disease. Periodontal infection poses more hazards to people whose health is already compromised by diabetes and respiratory afflictions. The reality is that the bacteria that contribute to a gum infection isn’t restricted to your mouth. These bacteria can move through your soft tissues, into your bloodstream, and from there travel to all your other internal organs.

A Guide to Sedation Dentistry

If the thought of seeing your dentist gives you chills every six months, an anesthetic may be the solution. Sedation dentistry uses a combination of techniques, ranging from nitrous oxide or "laughing gas" to general anesthesia, to relax a patient during surgeries or otherwise uncomfortable appointments. For even the most severe dental phobias, there is no longer a reason to avoid the dentist altogether. Settings that Practice Anti-Anxiety The dental office has long been the most common setting for routine dental procedures that use sedation and anti-anxiety techniques. These techniques can be used for any type of dental procedure depending on the needs of the patient. Ultimately, your fears and phobias can be managed so that you can receive the dental care you require no matter where the treatment takes place. Are You a Candidate for Sedation? Your overall health, as well as physical and mental conditions you may be battling at the time, are important to be able to saf
