Wychwood Dental Takeaways:

Another important tip that we stress when discussing oral hygiene is to not eat or drink anything other than water after you have brushed your teeth.

The Wychwood Dental team wishes you a very Merry Christmas, a joyous holiday season, and a happy, healthy, and peaceful New Year 2022!

Did you know that brushing your teeth after every meal isn’t enough to avoid dental cavities? The bristles on your toothbrush cannot reach between your teeth to pull out food particles or residue. So it doesn’t matter how many times you brush. These particles will stay put. To deal with these hard to reach spaces, you need to floss your teeth at least once a day.

Experts agree that children need food from all the major food groups to grow properly and stay healthy.

A dental abscess, or tooth abscess, is a buildup of pus that forms inside the teeth or gums.

Why floss?
Flossing is important because proper flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from those spaces between the teeth where a toothbrush can't reach.

Good oral health involves more than just brushing. To keep your teeth and mouth healthy for a lifetime of use, there are steps that you should follow. Here's what you should consider:

Dentin is a tissue that is calcified and consists of tiny tubules or tubes. It is the second layer of the tooth and is normally covered by enamel and covers the pulp, making up the majority of the tooth's structure.

Wychwood Dental has taken all necessary precautions to remain open and provide services to our patients during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Every industry has its own language and terms. These words and phrases can be confusing to anyone who is not part of the daily operations of a specific sector, and the dentistry business is no exception.

Most issues are short in nature but it is always a good idea to let your dentist know if you are experiencing post-op sensitivity. This way you can have all your questions and concerns addressed. If the bite feels off after a few days, I always tell the patient to call and come in ASAP. Usually, a slight adjustment is all that is needed and if left untreated can cause more serious problems.

The refreshing feeling afterwards will have you wanting to do this daily. Just don’t use excessive force and clean or change your tongue scraper frequently.

Maintaining good oral health from a young age is vital for many reasons. How the primary teeth and gums are treated can affect the development of the jaw, the formation of adult teeth, and even how children chew, talk, and smile. With a healthy set of teeth and gums, children generally feel more confident and participative in social situations. Moreover, when positive oral practices are established early on, they turn into permanent habits.
