How to take care of teeth during Thanksgiving...

This Thanksgiving, we want to extend our special gratitude to our patients for their trust and confidence in our practice. Thank you for your loyalty‼! At Prestige Dental, we strive to elevate the standard in dental care by providing top quality service, customized treatment, and modern technology in a comfortable setting. We want to show our appreciation by providing some great tips that will help you take care of your teeth during this holiday season.

The Pilgrims and Native Americans found creative ways to keep their teeth healthy. Fortunately, keeping your teeth clean and healthy is a much easier task nowadays. Our suggestions:

• Watch out for the Turkey bones! Use care when feasting on the holiday turkey. Tooth damage can occur by accidentally biting into the small bones. 
• Remember to brush twice daily and floss daily. During the holiday time, schedules can get busy, but be sure to keep up with your home care. Your teeth and gums will thank you! 
• Cranberries help protect your teeth against decay! Including them with your Thanksgiving feast is a good idea. 
• Take your toothbrush with you wherever you go: Don’t forget your floss, toothbrush, and toothpaste! A lot of people forget to pack them for trips during the busy holiday season. But they’re very important if you want to keep your teeth clean and healthy. If you can’t access a toothbrush, rinse your mouth with water after you eat to help remove food debris and acid. 
• See your dentist soon after thanksgiving: Seeing your dentist before you have a problem keeps your dental bill as low as possible.

How can I replace my missing teeth with dental implants?

It’s most likely that you’ve heard of dental implants by now. With dentists now offering the treatment nationwide, it has become fairly common for patients to look into getting dental implants. But, how do dental implants actually work? What will they do? Below we’ve provided some general information, but you can always visit our dental implants FAQs (link here) page for more in-depth information.

Dental implants are fixed teeth that attach to the bone, and have a natural look, function and feel. Dental implants are recommended when a patient has missing teeth due to an accident, disease, trauma or even decay. There is no need for any special type of care for your dental implants as they should be treated just as you would treat the rest of your teeth. Brush and floss regularly while making sure to continue visiting our dentist in Pasadena for routine cleanings and exams.

As dental implants are surgically implanted, they function like regular teeth. After the completion of the procedure, you will be able to eat, chew, speak and smile just as you did before. This is a great solution to recover your winning smile, so visit our dentist today in Pasadena to see if dental implants are right for you!
