Halloween is just around the corner, and while children are excited at the prospects of extra candy and sugar, dentists are cringing.

While the effects of sugar may not be noticeable right away, too much sugar can quickly lead to tooth decay and cavities, resulting in a need for dental procedures like composite fillings, crowns and root canals.

It wouldn’t be National Dental Hygiene Month without talking about our talented dental hygienist, Artemis!

You probably know that a dental hygienist performs dental cleanings, but you may not know the role hygienist plays at a dental office. Dental hygienists work closely with dentists, specialists and front and back office staff. Beyond performing routine and periodontal cleanings, hygienists take dental x-rays, place sealants, clean rooms, sterilize instruments and much more. They also help educate patients on proper oral hygiene techniques.

Have you ever woken up with a headache or stiffness in the jaw? Or has your dentist ever reported wear on you teeth from grinding?

Periodontal disease has never been more relevant.

New research shows hospitalized coronavirus patients are more likely to die of respiratory failure if they suffered from periodontitis before contracting COVID-19, according to an international team of dental researchers.

Dentists play a big part in managing the personal dental care of individuals. Dentists check your teeth and mouth for signs of cavities and gum disease.

Many are interested in teeth whitening products to obtain a good smile like that of celebrities.

Some people feel guilty because they neglected or abused their teeth as a child or when they were growing up. They did not brush regularly, smoked cigarettes, drank coffee, and more. Maybe that is the way you are feeling. You may be self-conscious when you smile. If you are seeing yellowish color tinge on your teeth or experiencing severe sensitivity to hot or cold food items, you still have the opportunity to do better with your dental care.
