Don’t Leave Your Smile Vulnerable

You deserve to have a beautiful and healthy smile. Do not leave your smile vulnerable to cavities, periodontal disease or missing, cracked or broken teeth. Taking time to visit your cosmetic dentist and receive a consultation on your smile, can ensure you are on the right track. Nowadays, grabbing a soda and candy bar for lunch may be the norm for you. However, that amount of sugar can impact your smile.

There are so many choices you can make during the day. If you are going to consume sugar or a high carbohydrate meal, instead of waiting until bedtime to brush, you might want to consider brushing your teeth or rinsing with water to remove some of the food particles from the surface of your teeth. The longer these items are glued to the enamel on your teeth the more damage that is done.

If you find you are struggling to have a healthy smile you love, contact Dr. Judy Strutz and her team. They can help evaluate and work with you on a plan to get your smile back in order. It is critically important you have a healthy smile because if not it can lead to other more detrimental problems later on.

4 Problems That May Be Impacting Your Smile

Your smile is the connection between you and the world around you. Individuals who have a beautiful and healthy smile are more likely to land that job they have been wanting, meet that special someone, and connect with new and exciting friends. Here are 4 characteristics of a beautiful smile.

1.     Are you teeth white and free of stains? Discoloration of the teeth can cause you to appear older than you are or that you have not kept up on healthy dental habits, while this in fact may not be the case. Consuming certain foods or consuming coffee can unfortunately lead to discoloration.

2.     Are your teeth straight? Crooked or over lapping teeth can not only make it difficult to floss but can also cause your lips to look pursed.

3.     Do you have any missing teeth? Once you have one missing tooth, it can create a flood of other problems which can cause you to lose other teeth. Eventually your smile may begin to collapse as well and cause you to get wrinkles around your mouth.

4.     Are your gums puffy and swollen? “Puffy and swollen gums can be a sign of periodontal disease, “says Dr. Judy Strutz.  Left untreated, it can cause major dental and health concerns.  Get help today.

Why Should I Get A Dental Cosmetic Procedure Completed?

There are lots of people who may tell you that a cosmetic dental procedure is just to make your smile pretty. But unfortunately, this is not the case. Cosmetic procedures are about more than a pretty smile. It is about building a healthy smile that can last a lifetime. Having a healthy smile that can last a life time will allow you to smile for the family photo, laugh with friends when you are out to the movies, and share an ice cream with your grandson when he graduates. None of these are things that you should hide your smile from.

But research shows individuals who do not take care of their smile, or do not have cosmetic procedures, can begin to feel less self-confident. While there are cosmetic procedures that are simple procedures, dental veneers, crowns and implants may take longer, but can restore your smile so it is beautiful again. Dr. Judy Strutz and her team recommend a consultation if you are struggling to enjoy your smile. 

Dr. Strutz and her team are happy to answer any questions that you have about procedures. Once you schedule your consultation she’ll want to spend time analyzing your smile in order to determine what the best course of action is.

Are You Itching For A Beautiful Smile

Do you want a healthy and beautiful smile but don't how to get it. Today is your lucky day because veneers may be a great option to restore your smile to a natural, healthy state. Here are four reasons why veneers may be a great choice for you.

1. Veneers can be matched to the color of your other teeth. When done correctly veneers provide you with a healthy and natural looking smile. The color does not have to be that bleached white that stands out, or a discolored yellow tone.
2. “Veneers can fix the alignment of your smile and reshape the teeth to a more pleasing contour,” says Dr. Judy Strutz. These thin wafer pieces of porcelain can enhance an already beautiful smile or even create one.
3. Veneers can give you back your life. If you are self-conscious because of your smile veneers are a great option to give you something to smile about.

While veneers are only one option available to you, a comprehensive examination can get you started on achieving the smile you want today.

Dangerous Holiday Food For Your Crowns

The food you consume can cause havoc not only to your permanent teeth, but also to your newly placed dental crowns. Brushing, flossing and visiting your San Bernardinocosmetic dentist regularly are critical to having your smile stay in great condition. During the holidays, don’t let food choices, impact your dental crowns or your natural teeth by following these simple food rules. 

Avoid extra sugar and treats. Sugar can cause your tooth underneath the crown to decay. While you are consuming pie or more sugary drinks, the bacterium in your mouth is feeding off of the sugar, this combination can cause major problems. If you are going to consume treats or candy, it is recommended you either brush your teeth right away if you can, or chew a piece of sugar-free gum.  

The extra saliva can help to remove sugar and other food debris from your teeth. 
Avoid consuming lots of breads and high carb foods. “While these traditional Thanksgiving foods are available, you may want to avoid them in large quantitties to protect your smile,” says Dr. Judith Strutz. Small portions, brushing immediately and consuming fruits or vegetables can help protect your crowns. And any food that has a larger water content can remove food from between the teeth.
