Maintaining an oral hygiene routine is very important for ensuring the long term health of your teeth and gums. Bad oral health may lead to different health issues like stroke and heart disease. Tooth n Care places very high importance on preventative and diagnostic oral-care. We strive to help all our patients attain optimal oral health by offering excellent oral hygiene check-up . The Seminole Dental  in Texas City is conveniently located near MS Doss City Park and Seminole Hospital District is a low cost dental office by me.

We Recommend That You:

  • Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
  • Floss each night as brushing alone only cleans up to 60% of the teeth surface.
  • Use a mouthwash as many mouthwashes contain antibacterial ingredients to help prevent gum disease and fluoride to help prevent decay.
  • Visit the dentist every 6 months for a routine check-up and professional clean.

During your dental check-up, our dentist will do a thorough dental examination to assess your overall oral health and other problems like tooth decay, cracks, gum disease and old dental work which have worn out and need replacement. If there is any dental problem to be addressed, our dentist will discuss and provide you with the best and minimal invasive treatments

Teeth Cleaning: Scaling and polishing

Plaque and tartar can cause a variety of dental diseases such as gingivitis, gum disease and dental decay. Plaque can be removed by tooth brushing and flossing, but tartar can only be removed using professional dental instruments. Scaling and polishing routinely once or twice annually improves oral health by removing plaque and tartar from the teeth. Surface stains from coffee, tea, red wine or tobacco use are also cleaned away during polishing.

Scaling does not require the use of local anesthetic (injections to numb the teeth) but can be used if the teeth are sensitive. Scaling is performed using an ultrasonic tip, which vibrates at high frequency to remove tartar, and hand instruments to remove tartar below the gums. After scaling, we will polish off your teeth with a rotating rubber cup (similar to an electric toothbrush) and polishing paste containing fluoride for a clean feel.

Why you might need it

  The pain of toothache can leave us in agony and misery, sometimes unable to function. Arriving after we reach adulthood, our wisdom teeth (or third molars) can cause a range of dental problems. They can be obstructed by our other 28 adult teeth and emerge at an angle or get stuck and only partially come through.   The S eminole Dental    in Texas City is conveniently located near MS Doss City Park and Seminole Hospital District is a  low cost dental office by me. Food and bacteria can get trapped around the edges of such teeth and cause on-going problems such as tooth decay (caries) and gum disease - despite regular brushing and flossing. Removing some or all of the wisdom teeth can be a long term solution. Why you might need it Our wisdom teeth typically emerge in our late teens or early 20s. Some people never develop them while others have up to four – one in each back corner of the mouth. Wisdom teeth usually cause no problems, but if there isn’t enoug...

So what can we eat that helps our teeth?

  There are plenty of food options that can have a positive effect on our dental and general health. There is a lot of research that indicates the importance of eating a diet rich in minerals and vitamins. In particular Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc. Highly processed foods often lack many of these vital components so there is a lot to be said for eating a wholefood, natural diet. High in vegetables, pasture raised protein and healthy fats. When visiting the grocery shop a lot of these options can be found by shopping around the outer edges of the shop. So, if no matter how much effort you are putting into cleaning your teeth you still find yourself needing fillings, it might be time to re-evaluate what you’re eating and how you are fueling your body.    The S eminole Dental    in Texas City is conveniently located near MS Doss City Park and Seminole Hospital District is a  low cost dental office by me.
