  • Mouth Rinses
    Mouth Rinses We may recommend a mouth rinse to you for one or more of the following reasons: Periodontal Disease, Gingivitis, Halitosis (bad breath), sensitive teeth, decay or increased risk of decay, dry mouth, minor mouth sore or irritation. Red= RX only Blue= Available through your dentist only Green= Over the counter *Common side effects found with many mouth rinses include the possibility of staining. We still encourage you to use the rinse that treats your problem because none of the stains these rinses cause are permanent. With good oral hygiene on your part, using your bleaching trays and bleach as needed, you can keep the staining to a minimum. If there is any staining that you can’t prevent, it can always be easily removed by your hygienist at your next cleaning. If you have periodontal disease or Gingivitis, we may recommend an antimicrobial/antiseptic type rinse. These rinses kill germs, reduce plaque, redness, swelling and bleeding when used in conjunction with proper brushing and flossing. Some common examples of antiseptic rinses are: Peridex or Perioguard oral rinses are available by prescription only. Active ingredient is chlorhexidine gluconate .12%. These also contain alcohol 11.6%. Can cause staining of the teeth*, taste alteration and dry mouth. Periomed Oral rinse is available through your dentist only. Active ingredient is stannous fluoride .63%. It is alcohol free. Periomed provides antimicrobial activity for up to 8 hours. Also promotes enamel remineralization, and helps reduce sensitivity. Can cause staining* and dry mouth. Listerine Antiseptic: Active ingredient is alcohol 26.9% in the original gold Listerine, and 21.6% in the other flavors.

  • Tooth Enamel and Its Dynamic Protein Matrix
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Tooth Enamel and Its Dynamic Protein Matrix Ana Gil-Bona 1,2,* and Felicitas B. Bidlack 1,2,* 1 The Forsyth Institute, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA 2 Department of Developmental Biology, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA 02115, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] (A.G.-B.); [email protected] (F.B.B.) Received: 26 May 2020; Accepted: 20 June 2020; Published: 23 June 2020 Abstract: Tooth enamel is the outer covering of tooth crowns, the hardest material in the mammalian body, yet fracture resistant. The extremely high content of 95 wt% calcium phosphate in healthy adult teeth is achieved through mineralization of a proteinaceous matrix that changes in abundance and composition. Enamel-specific proteins and proteases are known to be critical for proper enamel formation. Recent proteomics analyses revealed many other proteins with their roles in enamel formation yet to be unraveled. Although the exact protein composition of healthy tooth enamel is still unknown, it is apparent that compromised enamel deviates in amount and composition of its organic material. Why these differences affect both the mineralization process before tooth eruption and the properties of erupted teeth will become apparent as proteomics protocols are adjusted to the variability between species, tooth size, sample size and ephemeral organic content of forming teeth. This review summarizes the current knowledge and published proteomics data of healthy and diseased tooth enamel, including advancements in forensic applications and disease models in animals. A summary and discussion of the status quo highlights how recent proteomics findings advance our understating of the complexity and temporal changes of extracellular matrix composition during tooth enamel formation.

    Sensitive teeth may be a warning of more serious problems Do You Have Sensitive Teeth? If you have a common problem called “sensitive teeth,” a sip of iced tea or a cup of hot cocoa, the sudden intake of cold air or pressure from your toothbrush may be painful.

This paper presented two cases of generalized and severe HGF in siblings without any systemic illness. HGF was confirmed based on family history, clinical and histological examination. Management of both the cases was done conservatively. Quadrant wise gingivectomy using ledge and wedge method was adopted and followed for 12 months. The surgical procedure yielded functionally and esthetically satisfying results with no recurrence. KEYWORDS: Gingival enlargement, Hereditary, homozygous, Gingivectomy AA swollen gums.

  • Tooth Decay Information
    ToothMasters Information on Tooth Decay Definition: Tooth decay is the destruction of the enamel (outer surface) of a tooth. Tooth decay is also known as dental cavities or dental caries. Decay is caused by bacteria that collect on tooth enamel. The bacteria live in a sticky, white film called plaque (pronounced PLAK). Bacteria obtain their food from sugar and starch in a person's diet. When they eat those foods, the bacteria create an acid that attacks tooth enamel and causes decay. Tooth decay is the second most common health problem after the common cold (see common cold entry). By some estimates, more than 90 percent of people in the United States have at least one cavity; about 75 percent of people get their first cavity by the age of five. Description: Anyone can get tooth decay. However, children and the elderly are the two groups at highest risk. Other high-risk groups include people who eat a lot of starch and sugary foods; people who live in areas without fluoridated water (water with fluoride added to it); and people who already have other tooth problems. Tooth decay is also often a problem in young babies. If a baby is given a bottle containing a sweet liquid before going to bed, or if parents soak the baby's pacifier in sugar, honey, or another sweet substance, bacteria may grow on the baby's teeth and cause tooth decay. Causes: Tooth decay occurs when three factors are present: bacteria, sugar, and a weak tooth surface. The sugar often comes from sweet foods such as sugar or honey.

  • Don't We All Want Healthy Teeth and Gums? Yet Sometimes, Even with Brushing, Flossing, and Eating Healthy Foods — It Still Isn't Enough
    Don't we all want healthy teeth and gums? Yet sometimes, even with brushing, flossing, and eating healthy foods — it still isn't enough. Or maybe you just want a whiter, brighter smile without the toxic ingredients in conventional products. It's herbs to the rescue! These 10 healing herbs prevent decay, and even restore. Add them to toothpaste, make them into tea, or make them into tinctures to combine into an herbal mouthwash. Herb #1 — Myrrh This is my go-to for teeth and gums. When toothache strikes, a little myrrh tincture placed on the tooth relieves pain in less than a minute. It also heals and tightens gums, cures bleeding gums, and fights bacteria that would otherwise cause gum disease and tooth decay. I use it daily as a preventative. Herb #2 — Neem Traditionally, sticks of neem were used as a natural toothbrush due to its strong antibacterial properties. Even today, it's regaining popularity. Modern research attests its ability to reduce plaque, prevent cavities and gum disease, and freshen breath. You can easily add powdered neem to your usual toothpaste. And remember, the bark is more potent than the leaf. Herb #3 — Echinacea. No, echinacea isn't just a cold-fighting herb! It also reduces inflamma- tion, boosts the immune system, and helps fight infection in the mouth. Herb #4 — Goldenseal. This herb is especially helpful for healing gums. It's antibiotic, anti- viral, and anti-inflammatory. Herb #5 — Oregon Grape Root. Antimicrobial and an astringent, Oregon grape root also soothes and tightens swollen gums. Herb #6 — Propolis.
