Do Your Gums Bleed When You Brush?

Do your gums bleed when you brush or floss them? You might tend to believe it is no big deal and move on with your day. However, bleeding gums can be a sign of a larger dental problem. Dr. Judy Strutz and her team encourage individuals who are struggling with this to schedule a visit with your dental team to get it looked at and come up with a treatment plan. 

Your gums might be bleeding because of periodontal disease. It is a gum infection that impacts the soft tissue of your gums.

If you do not get treatment, it can impact the bone that is below the soft tissue of your gums, which can cause larger problems for your smile later on. 

While, you might be tempted; to try and find an over the counter remedy that can fix the problem. You do want to visit a dentist because you might need periodontal treatment specific to your circumstances.

Your Smile Matters

 

Your smile is so important to your overall health. As we head into the holiday season where Pumpkin spices and all things delicious are in front of us you must keep your smile healthy despite the sweet treats. Here are 6 strategies for ensuring your smile stays healthy this holiday season. 

1. Always Brush! Brushing 2x a day is critical. When you are consuming sugar and other treats brushing, is the only way to remove plaque and food from the enamel. 
2. Floss. Flossing ensures that there is nothing left behind after you have enjoyed the treat. 
3. Drink water. You probably have already heard this a ton of times. But drinking water helps to remove the food from the surface of your tooth. This prevents food from staying on your teeth between brushing sessions. 
4. Visit the dentist. Do not allow problems, concerns, or dental pain to be ignored. Visiting your dentist can be sure that a small problem doesn't turn into a larger problem. 
5. Avoid soda. It can be tempting to consume soda during the holiday season. Avoid this high sugar drink. 
6. Avoid eating treats right before bed, or after you have brushed. By consuming food after you have already brushed your teeth or you are getting ready for bed guarantees that sugar will be building upon the surface of your teeth overnight. This increases your risk of dental decay. 
7.  

Your smile matters. For more information on keeping your smile healthy, contact Dr. Judy Strutz and her team.

Protect Your Smile This Holiday

 

It can be easy to overindulge in a sweet treat or a treat that is high in carbohydrates this holiday season. The temptation of apple pie, pumpkin-flavored drinks, and sweet buttery croissants are cooked and ready for you to eat. No problem. However, you might want to protect your smile. 

Did you know? 

That the higher amount of carbohydrates in your food the, more likely you are to have dental decay if you do not take care of it. The problem with carbohydrates is that they stick to the enamel of your tooth. As it stays on your teeth, it turns into sugar. Once this occurs, you can get cavities, and cavities left untreated turn into other problems that you do not want to have to deal with. 

Protect your smile by following these few short steps, 

1. Brush your teeth after eating. 
2. Eat foods with minimal carbohydrates and sugar before bed. 
3. Take care of any dental concerns right away. 
4. Drink water. When you drink water, it will remove the food from the surface of your teeth. 

 

These 4 tips may not protect you from all dental problems, but they will minimize the risk. For more information or strategies to protect your smile, contact Dr. Judy Strutz and her team.
