Improving Bad Breath - Some Quick Tips:

• Gargle with water.

• Brush your teeth, tongue, roof of your mouth, and gums at least twice a day with toothpaste.

• Floss your teeth once each day.

• Eat a low-fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables.

• Eat less meat.

• Do not smoke or use other tobacco products, such as snuff or chewing (spit) tobacco.

• Avoid foods and drinks that cause bad breath, such as garlic and alcohol.

• Eat at regular intervals. Dieting or missing meals can decrease saliva and cause bad breath.

• Chew sugar-free gum, suck on sugar-free mints, or drink water, especially if your mouth is dry.

• Try using breath sticks, which contain the ingredients found in a mouthwash and dissolve in your mouth.

• Remove dentures, removable bridges, partial plates, or orthodontic appliances and clean them once each day or as directed by your dentist. Pieces of food and germs can collect on these appliances and cause bad breath.

• Use a mouthwash for temporary relief of bad breath. Swish it around in your mouth for 30 seconds before spitting it out.

• Have regular dental checkups.

A few weeks into Invisalign

Last week, I showed you a video of a patient who had been wearing her Invisalign aligners for only 10 minutes. This week, I thought that I'd show you a video of a patient who has been wearing her aligners for a few weeks. I'll keep browsing YouTube in hopes of finding patient testimonials from all stages of the Invisalign process. Until then, here's stage two... a few weeks of wearing Invisalign and still a smiling face:

More About Invisalign

When you first put on Invisalign, the experience can be a little weird. You may talk with a lisp at first, the aligners might not fit completely, and your mouth might feel a bit weird in general. This is all normal. To get an in depth view of what it's like to wear Invisalign, check out this great testimonial:

Oral Health and Overall Health

Many people are starting to learn about how oral health affects overall health, but just how much can improving your dental care help your immune system? At a landmark meeting, dentists spoke at the American Diabetes Association's 68th Annual Scientific Sessions. While they held the floor, the dentists spoke about the links found between periodontal disease and Diabetes:

The meeting served as a wonderful opportunity for dentists to discuss oral health considerations with physicians and other members of the health care team," Dr. Meyer said. "As we gain more knowledge on the relationships of oral health conditions to general health, it is imperative that our respective professions engage in meaningful dialogue to improve oral and general health outcomes for the patients we serve. Hopefully, this is the first of many opportunities we will have for the two ADAs to work together to achieve common goals."

Simple Questions to Ask Yourself

Are you still on the fence about getting Invisalign? Ask yourself if any of the following apply to you and maybe you'll find that Invisalign is just about perfect for you!

Do you want the inconvenience of regular dental visits for
adjustment?

Are you afraid the wires and adjustments will be uncomfortable?

You don't like the thought of having to clean around your braces.

You don't want to have to wait years for straighter teeth.

You think braces will make you self-conscious about your smile.
