<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Find out what you need to know to stay ahead of cavities. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>What Exactly Is a Cavity? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s actually pretty simple. Decay (or softening of enamel) happens over time and the result is a cavity-a defect left in the tooth. Teeth are covered with a hard protective top layer called enamel. But once the enamel is weakened by acids produced by bacteria, a pit or cavity is formed in or on the tooth surface. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>What Causes Cavities and Tooth Decay?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While it’s ultimately acid-producing bacteria that leads to cavity formation, the most common cause of bacterial growth is inadequate daily brushing and flossing. Certain foods (carbs) and sugary drinks contribute to cavity formation-bacteria metabolize these carbohydrates and sugars and produce cavity-forming acids. </span><br />

Both plaque and tartar buildup are common dental problems. Significant plaque buildup can result in tooth decay and gum disease. Tartar is calcified plaque. Arming yourself with the facts can help you be smarter about how you care for your teeth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The Facts About Plaque</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plaque is sticky, colorless film containing bacteria that builds up naturally on tooth surfaces and especially along the gum line within four to 12 hours after brushing. Sugars in food and drinks can combine with plaque bacteria to release acids. These acids attack tooth enamel and break it down, which can then create cavities. Plaque bacteria can also contribute to gum disease, like gingivitis. Regular brushing and flossing are your most effective tools in the fight against plaque. If it’s not removed daily, plaque eventually accumulates and hardens into tartar. </span><br />

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6W1CKmLnFxo/WIgvkDh8ZII/AAAAAAAAAmU/r7NwG4OEvOEetlGZCXc2dWaW9n6P2o2qQCLcB/s1600/gingivitis.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="97" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6W1CKmLnFxo/WIgvkDh8ZII/AAAAAAAAAmU/r7NwG4OEvOEetlGZCXc2dWaW9n6P2o2qQCLcB/s200/gingivitis.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gingivitis is an early stage of gum disease caused by the buildup of plaque bacteria on the tissues that surround the teeth. Plaque, a naturally occurring biofilm containing bacteria, can lead to gingivitis if not removed by daily brushing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Who Can Get Gingivitis?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gingivitis is quite prevalent. But while almost 80% of adults will experience some symptoms of gingivitis, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s inevitable. It’s important to note that occasionally there might be no noticeable pain or apparent signs, leaving people unaware that they have it. That’s another good reason to schedule regular checkups with your dental professional every six months so he or she can identify it and suggest treatment options.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Gingivitis Symptoms</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some symptoms of gingivitis include red, swollen, and bleeding gums. Chronic gingivitis can lead to periodontitis and chronic bad breath. If these symptoms persist, it's important to talk with your dental professional to determine the best treatment. In the meantime, learn what you can do to protect against gingivitis.</span><br />

Lots of stuff! Make lean protein choices, such as lean beef, skinless poultry and fish and vary your diet. Eat whole grains and choose low-fat or fat-free dairy foods. The holidays are a great time of year to start thinking about healthier habits. If you do snack, make it a nutritious choice-such as cheese, yogurt, fruits, and vegetables-for your overall health and the health of your teeth.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">’Tis the season for egg nog, Brandy Alexanders and glog! If you choose to imbibe, try to drink water alongside your drinks. And remember: Too much alcohol can dry out your mouth. </span><br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9ct1g8jKzqo/WFtx7-k6yfI/AAAAAAAAAlg/ICmfVj8512E2HVzrS01FYyrFf61-KErZwCLcB/s1600/tip4-candy.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9ct1g8jKzqo/WFtx7-k6yfI/AAAAAAAAAlg/ICmfVj8512E2HVzrS01FYyrFf61-KErZwCLcB/s200/tip4-candy.png" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>#4: Take it easy on the hard candies </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some candies are more problematic than others. Hard candies can put your teeth at risk because in addition to being full of sugar, they’ve also been known to cause broken or chipped teeth. (Be careful not to break or chip your teeth when eating nuts as well!) </span><br />

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mNQyjevIRdE/WFtxnJlMnRI/AAAAAAAAAlU/BEfnPS5hUVYmR786wrFPOSj11MsprPyLQCLcB/s1600/tip2-sticky.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mNQyjevIRdE/WFtxnJlMnRI/AAAAAAAAAlU/BEfnPS5hUVYmR786wrFPOSj11MsprPyLQCLcB/s200/tip2-sticky.png" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Timing matters. While everything is fine in moderation, it helps to eat sweets and other sugary foods with meals or shortly after mealtime. Saliva production increases during meals and helps cancel out acids produced by bacteria in your mouth and helps rinse away food particles. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>#2: Be picky if it's sticky</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When it comes to picking healthy snacks, many people put dried fruit at the top of the list. But many dried fruits are sticky and sticky foods tend to stay on the teeth longer than other types of food. If you find yourself eating a lot of dried fruits such as cranberries, make sure to rinse with water and brush carefully. </span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w95FiZp9qXc/WDkfGnK-Q3I/AAAAAAAAAkY/qAcu5j75f4Y1tcunwIKgzgJTymu3H-GuQCLcB/s1600/manualbrushingflossing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="85" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w95FiZp9qXc/WDkfGnK-Q3I/AAAAAAAAAkY/qAcu5j75f4Y1tcunwIKgzgJTymu3H-GuQCLcB/s200/manualbrushingflossing.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>A Proper Brushing Technique for your Teeth </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A proper brushing technique is the first step to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Plus, it helps minimize the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, the major causes of tooth loss.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Before You Begin </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While there are several tooth brushing techniques with a manual toothbrush, always ask your dental professional for their recommendation and be sure to follow their instructions. To start, use fluoride toothpaste with a soft-bristle toothbrush, and don't forget to replace it every three months.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Two Minutes, Twice a Day </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To brush your teeth correctly, spend at least two minutes using a recommended brushing technique, which includes 30 seconds brushing each section of your mouth (upper right, upper left, lower right and lower left), both morning and night. Since most manual toothbrushes don't have built-in two-minute timers, you may want to have a clock handy so you can be sure you're brushing long enough.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Positioning the Toothbrush </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How you hold the toothbrush depends on which part of the tooth you're brushing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This brushing action is very different from ordinary manual toothbrushes, as it does the job of brushing for you. Be sure to guide the brush head to all parts of your mouth.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hold the brush parallel to the floor, against the side of your teeth.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, following the curve of the teeth and gums.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It isn't necessary to press hard or scrub. Simply let the electric toothbrush do all the work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hold the brush head in place for a few seconds before moving on to the next tooth.</span><br />

The care of your child’s teeth and gums begins with you - - you can set them on the right path for a lifetime of excellent oral hygiene.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Oral Hygiene for Infants</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Babies are born with all their teeth - you can't see them because they are hidden in the gums. Baby teeth start to break through the gums around 6 months but it is important to start good oral care for infants even before the first tooth comes in. From healthy gums come healthy teeth.</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wipe your baby’s gums with a soft washcloth after feeding. This helps remove the bacteria that can cause tooth decay.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once they begin to erupt, brush teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste in an amount no more than a smear the size of a grain of rice - use a soft-bristle toothbrush.</span></li>
</ul>

And while twice-daily toothbrushing is good for developing teeth, it always enough to stop bad breath from occurring. Bad breath isn't always solely an oral health issue, there can be other causes that need a different solution. Here are five surprising causes of bad breath in children and how to stop them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Sinus Infection</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have any of your kids complained about a sore throat or stuffy nose lately? It might be a sinus infection. Sinus issues cause fluid to collect in the nasal passages and throat, making your child's throat the perfect place for bacteria to gather. The result? Stinky breath that can't be cured with toothbrushing and mouthwash alone. If you suspect a sinus infection (potential sore throat, burning nasal passages and post nasal drip), call your doctor for a visit and see if antibiotics will be prescribed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Foreign Objects</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It may not be your first thought, but your child's bad breath could be the result of something stuck in her nasal passages. Kids are curious, and their nostrils are just the right size for inserting small items such as beads, beans, toy accessories and food. Pediatrician Dr. William Sears explains that when an object gets lodged in a child's nasal passages it can create a nasty smell. If you suspect this is what is causing your child's bad breath, you'll need a doctor to help check your child's nasal passages and remove the object.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tooth decay is the destruction of your tooth enamel -- the hard, outer layer of your teeth. This issue can affect children, teens and adults. Plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, is constantly forming on your teeth. When you eat or drink foods or beverages containing sugars, the bacteria in plaque produce acids that attack tooth enamel. The stickiness of the plaque keeps these acids in contact with your teeth, and over time the enamel can break down, according to the American Dental Association (ADA).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The types of caries formed can be broken down into two major groups:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Pit and fissure caries. </b>These are found most often on the chewing surfaces of the back (molar and premolar) teeth, and the back of the front (anterior) teeth. Your teeth are composed of several sections of enamel, and where these sections meet, pits and grooves can trap plaque, causing decay. The proper application of pit and fissure sealants, a hard plastic material applied to seal the grooves and pits when the teeth have erupted, can prevent this type of dental caries. The sealants also make it less likely that you will need restorations (fillings) on those surfaces of the teeth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Smooth surface caries.</b> These are found most often along the gumline or where two teeth touch (interproximal or the space between teeth), if plaque forms in those areas. With the proper use of dental floss, you can prevent most smooth surface caries in the interproximal area, and using a manual or power toothbrush along the gumline can prevent caries in that area as well.</span><br />
