<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">With a baby on the way or just born, the last thing you have time to think about is your teeth. Cravings are out of control, none of your clothes fit, and your body is in the middle of one of the biggest changes it will ever go through.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">However, if you do not practice good dental health during and after your pregnancy, there could be long-term consequences for you and your baby. With just a few extra steps, you can make sure that dental health is the last of your worries during this important time in your life.</span></span></div>
<h2 style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><img style="background: transparent; border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" />The Myths About Mother’s Dental Health</span></h2>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There are some misconceptions out there related to pregnancy and oral care. One is that it’s not safe for pregnant women to go to the dentist because of X-rays and other procedures that could be harmful to the baby. That is absolutely not the case. In fact, the National Institutes of Health have done studies suggesting just the opposite.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">At a minimum, you should continue with routine dentist appointments while pregnant. It’s also a good idea to visit your dentist if you are planning to become pregnant or shortly after you become pregnant. That visit can help set the course to ensure that your teeth and gums remain healthy throughout your pregnancy.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Another myth is that teeth lose massive amounts of calcium during pregnancy because it’s being moved elsewhere in the body to support the growing baby. Again, that is not true. Rather, most dental changes that happen during pregnancy are caused by hormone changes in the body.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">That said, it is important to increase your calcium intake during pregnancy to ensure that your body has enough calcium to support your baby’s development, especially in the third trimester. Prenatal vitamins typically contain calcium and other important nutrients like Vitamin D. Your obstetrician will advise if any additional supplements or dietary changes are needed during your pregnancy.</span></span></div>
<h2 style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Oral Health Risks</span></h2>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Gingivitis is the most common dental issue for expecting mothers. </span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">High levels of the hormone progesterone creates more acid in the mouth during pregnancy, which can lead to gingivitis. Symptoms include red, swollen gums that bleed during brushing or flossing.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It’s important to see your dentist as soon as you notice any of these symptoms; if left untreated gingivitis can become a serious gum disease called periodontitis. The increased acid in your mouth can also travel to your baby, which increases the risk for premature birth and low birth weight.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Tooth decay is another risk during pregnancy, especially if you suffer from morning sickness. Acid in your mouth breaks down tooth enamel when you vomit. If you throw up often as a result of morning sickness, the level of acid in your mouth increases, as does the risk for tooth decay. Serious tooth decay can lead to cavities or even tooth loss.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The risk of dental problems does not go away entirely once the baby is born. Breastfeeding moms are at a higher risk for tooth decay if they don’t stay hydrated or slack on brushing and flossing.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Nursing mums also lose as up to 5 percent of their bone mass as their growing babies demand more calcium. This can lead to periodontal disease or gingivitis, both gum infections that can damage the gums and cause bone loss around the jaw. In order to prevent this, it’s important to maintain a healthy diet throughout your time breastfeeding, including lots of calcium and vitamin D.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The American Dental Association also reports an increase in teeth grinding among moms who suffer from neck and facial tension as a result of breastfeeding.</span></span></div>
<h2 style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #323436; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Treatment and Prevention</span></h2>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The best way to prevent issues like these is to step up your daily dental routine and stick with it during and after your pregnancy. Commit to thoroughly brushing your teeth twice per day and thoroughly flossing once per day. </span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Make sure to drink lots of water to combat dry mouth (another cause of dental problems) and stick to a diet that’s low in sugar and starch. If the craving for sugar or carbs does strike, try to brush your teeth as soon as possible after eating those foods.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Routine dental procedures like cleanings, cavity fillings and X-rays are safe to be performed during pregnancy. Sitting in a dentist’s chair becomes more uncomfortable as you get farther into your pregnancy, so try to schedule these procedures during the second trimester if possible.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">At Muaks Family Dental, we are committed to working with all of our new and expecting mums to provide the best dental care possible throughout pregnancy.

<div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: #343434; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">No matter how crazy things get during your pregnancy or in the months after your baby is born, don’t forget to take time out for yourself and your health. This applies to not just to your oral health, but your overall well being. Your body and your mind will thank you in the long run, and you’ll be at your best to take care of your new baby</span></span></div>

extraction always being the last possible option. If you do need to have a
tooth out then it’s vital to think about how to replace it as soon as possible.
Even a single missing tooth can have a detrimental effect on your dental
health, allowing the rest of your natural teeth to drift out of position and
into the empty gap which has a destabilising effect, while the opposing teeth
will begin drifting towards the empty space, affecting your bite. There are two
main options that you can consider which are to have a dental bridge or to
choose a dental implant, but which can be best and why?</span></div>

of your missing tooth could benefit from being crowned. In order to fabricate
your dental bridge, we </span><span style="color: #333333;">will need to grind down these adjacent
teeth which will then be covered up with crowns that are attached to the
replacement tooth called a pontic. It is relatively quick to have a bridge
custom-made and the final results can look wonderful.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If the
teeth adjacent to the missing tooth are strong, healthy and look pretty good
then it can be pointless having to grind them down just so they can be covered
up with dental crowns. We hate removing any healthy tooth structure. Additionally, these support
teeth will need to be pretty strong as they will come under increased strain as
you bite down on the replacement tooth or pontic.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">Dental implants are well worth considering, particularly when
replacing a single tooth. As they are self-supporting, there is no need for us</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #333333;"> </span></span><span style="color: #333333;">to make any type of changes to your
existing teeth. An implant post replaces a natural tooth root, providing a
similar level of stimulation and helping to ensure your jawbone remain strong
and healthy. Dental implants protect your existing natural teeth by helping to
share the load created whenever you bite or chew and they make sure your
natural teeth stay in the correct positions. Although a dental implant can be a
little more expensive initially, in the longer term it can save you money.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;">Attending regular dental check ups with your dentist is far more
important than you may realise and at Muaks we aim to make this<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">a pleasant as well as beneficial
experience.</span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You may
not realise it but during a regular dental check up our fully qualified and
experienced dentist is doing far more that checking up on how well you have
been cleaning your teeth! Of course the dentist will be checking for any dental
decay or problems with your gums but a full routine dental check up will
include looking at the overall health of your mouth and discussing any
lifestyle choices that may be impacting on your oral hygiene.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 15.2pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Regular
dental check ups should be a key part of your self-care routine. When you slide
off the dentist chair with a “See you in 6 months” and a wave from the dentist
you may think to yourself that nothing much happened. In fact these are the
sort of dental check ups we would love for all of our patients to have and we
will do everything we can to keep yours like that.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As far as
the health of your teeth go, prevention really is the best cure and the first
and most important step in preventative dentistry is the routine dental check
up with a qualified and experienced dentist. Our patients are
encouraged to attend regular check ups. A routine dental check up can spot
problems early, giving you the chance to prevent more serious problems.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">As well as a thorough examination of your teeth a routine dental
check </span><span style="color: #333333;">will include the opportunity to discuss any
problems you may have had since your last visit. The dentist will also discuss
your tooth care routine with you and give you advice on any improvements you
could make such as adding inter dental brushes to your routine or showing you
how to floss your teeth more effectively. We will fully explain any
treatment you may need to improve or maintain your oral health and provide you
with a full treatment plan.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #2d2d2d;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>Thanks to advances in modern dentistry, more
widespread oral care education, and the availability of better oral care tools,
such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and interdental cleaners (brushes to clean
between the teeth), a greater number of older adults are keeping their natural
teeth for a much longer period of time. It is important to remember, however,
that keeping your teeth in good condition as you age might require some special
attention. Here are some oral care tips to help you.</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #2d2d2d;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As you get older, certain oral conditions not present
when you were younger might develop. These include:</span></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><b><span style="color: #274e13;">Dry

changes within the body as it ages, but can also be caused by medications. O</span><span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">ver 400 commonly used medications can contribute to dry mouth. This increases
the risk for oral disease, as saliva helps kill bacteria and rebuild enamel.</span></li>
<li><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><b><span style="color: #274e13;">Attrition</span></b><span style="color: #2d2d2d;">:</span></i><span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">Otherwise known as simple wear and tear, many years of
chewing and grinding can take their toll on an aging set of teeth. As enamel
wears down, the risk for cavities increases.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><i><b>Erosion</b></i></span><span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><b>:</b> Can be caused by acids from too many carbonated drinks, fruit juices and heart burn/acid reflux.

<span style="color: #2d2d2d;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There are several things you can do to maintain your
oral health as you age:</span></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><b><span style="color: #274e13;">Increase

incorporate a fluoride rinse into your daily routine. (Always have prescriped by your dentist)</span></li>
<li><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>Avoid
tobacco</b></span><span style="color: #2d2d2d;">:</span></i><span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">Tobacco in any form has been linked to
an increased risk of mouth and throat cancer, not to mention heart disease and
other serious conditions. Chewing tobacco can even lead to more decay, as many tobacco
formulations contain sugar.</span></li>
<li><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><b><span style="color: #274e13;">Increase oral hydration</span></b><span style="color: #2d2d2d;">:</span></i><span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">Ask your
doctor if you can substitute your medication for one that doesn't produce
dry mouth. If this is not possible, then drink plenty of water, chew a
sugarfree gum, and avoid alcohol, which tends to dehydrate your body.</span></li>
<li><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><b><span style="color: #274e13;">Use an antibacterial mouthwash</span></b><span style="color: #2d2d2d;">:</span></i><span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">When used
with brushing and flossing, an antibacterial wash can reduce the buildup
of plaque. (Always have prescriped by your dentist)</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<br />

<span style="color: #2d2d2d;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Keeping your teeth in tip-top shape as you age

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When it
comes to our oral health and hygiene, we often get stuck in a routine and habit
takes over as we feel that after all these years, of course we know how to look
after our teeth, right? However sometimes we pick up bad habits or omit things
that we should be doing, which may improve our oral health:<span style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong><span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></strong></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong><span style="color: #274e13;">1. Spit,
don’t rinse after brushing</span></strong><span style="color: #444444;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Rinsing
your mouth after brushing washes away the protective fluoride coating from your
toothpaste, which if left protects your teeth for hours after you brush.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong><span style="color: #274e13;">2. Try
to eat sugary foods at meal times</span></strong><span style="color: #444444;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If
you’re going to have that piece of chocolate or a Haribo, do so after a main
meal to reduce the number to times your teeth are exposed to damaging acids.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong><span style="color: #274e13;">3.
Remember to clean in between your teeth</span></strong><span style="color: #444444;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you
don’t clean in between your teeth, you miss cleaning 35% of each tooth surface!
Whether you choose an inter-dental brush or floss, make it a daily habit as it
helps to remove bacteria that can cause tooth decay, gum disease and bad
breath. It takes minutes to do and is super easy once you’re in the habit of
it!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong><span style="color: #274e13;">4. Swap
fizzy drinks for water</span></strong><span style="color: #444444;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Fizzy
drinks, even sugar free ones, can still damage your teeth as the acids found in
these can soften your tooth enamel, which once lost will not regenerate.
Instead switch to water, which helps to wash away food particles left in your
mouth and keep you hydrated. If you fancy something that’s a bit more exciting
than water, why not try fruit infused water to give it a bit of flavouring but
keeping the benefits of drinking water.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong><span style="color: #274e13;">5. Clean
your tongue</span></strong><span style="color: #444444;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A
simple, quick scrape of your tongue can do wonders for your breath and remove
plaque from your tongue and bacteria build-up.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong><span style="color: #274e13;">6.
Change your toothbrush</span></strong><span style="color: #444444;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Remember to change your
toothbrush or electric toothbrush head every 3 months, as the bristles break
down and are less effective and you’re also transferring bacteria to your
mouth.</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02700918151340433956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708063829548592967.post-3274101831263400942017-03-24T10:04:00.000+01:002017-03-24T10:04:14.774+01:00What types of dental fillings are there?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is one question we get asked by our patients. Dental fillings can be classified by the number of surfaces the dental filling restores. The different dental filling classifications involve the following surfaces of the teeth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b><br /></b></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b><br /></b></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Class I</b></span> - the chewing surface of the back teeth</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Class II</b></span> - the chewing surface and one or more sides of a back tooth</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Class III</b></span> - the side along with the front and/or back of a front tooth</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Class IV</span></b> - the biting edge of a front tooth</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Class V</span></b> - the tongue or cheek side of a back tooth, just above the gumline</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Front teeth are considered to be those between the canine teeth in the front of the mouth. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Back teeth are considered to be those behind the canine teeth in the back of the mouth.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<h2 style="clear: left; line-height: 27.37px; margin: 10px 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">So when is the best time to obtain dental fillings?</span></span></h2>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The best time to have dental fillings placed is as soon as tooth damage or tooth decay is discovered. Dental cavities advance over time. The presence of sugars and starches in the foods we eat combined with our normal oral bacteria create acids and promote the decay of tooth structure.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The earlier diseased tooth structure is removed and replaced by a dental filling the better because:</span></span></div>
<ul style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A greater amount of healthy tooth structure is retained.</span></span></li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The teeth are stronger because there is a greater ratio of strong tooth structure to dental filling material.</span></span></li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Treatment is less complex and therefore of shorter duration.</span></span></li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Treatment in early stages is often less expensive.</span></span></li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Treatment is usually accomplished with more comfort with less post-operative sensitivity.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One of the primary benefits of regular, periodic oral examinations is early discovery of tooth damage and decay to enable timely restoration of teeth</span></span></div>

<span style="outline: none;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">What do
beards and toothbrushes potentially have in common? Unfortunately, it’s
probably bacteria. Luckily,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>science
has prevailed, showing that for the most part the bacteria found in
beards is NOT the same found on the average toilet. It looks like
it’s OK again for folks to snuggle up to their favorite bearded dude. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

seem to worry less about fad diets, but are more likely to skip meals during
the day. Perhaps that’s why there’s a trend showing that men tend to
start the day with healthy food choices, but often end up<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="outline: none;">snacking and
giving in to the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="outline: none;">junk food cravings at night</span>. It

In fact, along with a fear of flying, dental phobia is probably the most common phobia. As with all phobias though, the imagination is invariably worse than the reality.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1f2633; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">At Muaks Family Dental, we see our fair share of nervous dental patients. This ranges from those who are worried about any potential treatment but are able to face their fears to help ensure good oral health, through to those unfortunate patients for whom a visit to the dentist is little short of sheer panic.</span></div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; font-size: 1.125em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1em; margin: 0.857em 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We would like to assure any nervous dental patients that, however nervous you are, we are still keen to see you at our dental practice. Our team will, especially if advised in advance of your fears, take care that you are well looked after and treated in a calm and considerate manner. Whilst some phobias, such as a fear of flying, can be avoided in many cases by taking holidays in our home country; this option does not apply to dental phobia, and avoiding visits to the dentist is clearly very unwise.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #1f2633; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">All of us, at some point in time, will need to have dental treatment and those who avoid visiting a dental practice for long periods of time are likely to need quite invasive procedures later on.</span></div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; font-size: 1.125em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 1em; margin: 0.857em 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The key part of ensuring good oral health lies in prevention. Ironically, many people who suffer from dental phobia do take very good care of their teeth, religiously brushing and flossing every day in the hope of avoiding any dental problems that will force them to have to pay the dentist a visit. Even with this level of care though, problems will inevitably arise. This may be in the form of accidental damage to the teeth through an accident perhaps, but even if this is avoided, there is almost inevitably some dental decay that occurs and quite possibly some gum disease, which if ignored can become very serious.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.6em; margin-top: 1.6em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="color: #1f2633; font-size: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">On top of these two common problems, enamel erosion can be a problem for these patients who sometimes are over enthusiastic when brushing their teeth and actually wear away the enamel.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We are also pleased to offer Conscious Sedation. Sedation is a specialised technique where a sedative is administered through an intravenous cannula. You still maintain all your vital and responsive reflexes, e.g. coughing, breathing and swallowing. Most people find Sedation a pleasant and acceptable way of receiving dental treatment from fillings to Implants. During the procedure you will feel peaceful and unaware of what is going on.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Lets look at the facts, decay is the main reason why children in England, between the age of 5-9 are admitted to hospital. Between 2012-2013 it was estimated that the NHS spent nearly £30 million on tooth extractions on children aged 18 and under. All this can be avoided by regular tooth brushing, fluoridation and diet control.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
Top Tips</span></h3>
<ol style="border: 0px; color: #1f2633; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 22px; list-style-position: outside; margin: 0px 1.5em 1.5em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 2em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ensure your child attends regular dental examinations. These appointments allow the dentist to spot any problems early. It also provides the dentist with an opportunity to coat the adult molar teeth with fluoride. This strengthens the enamel and helps protect against decay. If your child is deemed to be a high risk for dental cavities, the dentist may decide to place sealants over the biting surfaces of the new adult molars. These sealants smooth any pits and fissures making it hard for any plaque or food particles to become trapped which could cause decay.</span></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Make sure they brush their teeth regularly and properly. Supervise your child till the age of 7 years to ensure they are brushing rather than chewing the brush. Choose a toothpaste for your child’s particular age. This will ensure that the toothpaste contains the correct amount of fluoride. Fluoride levels should be at least 1000ppm up until the age of 3 and between 1350-1500ppm after this age.</span></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Control the amount of sugar given to your child. This means limiting the amount of sweets, chocolate and fizzy drinks. The higher the sugar intake, the higher risk your child is at developing tooth decay.</span></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Try to stop or limit unhealthy snacks. You may think that raisins are a healthy snack when in fact they are high in natural sugars and tend to stick to the teeth. The sugar in them then attacks the enamel. Even if you choose sugar free drinks they most probably still contain acids which can still attack the teeth. Milk and water are a good alternative to drink and raw vegetables and bread sticks are a better choice of snack.</span></li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Be careful when giving your child fresh fruit juices and smoothies to drink. Again you may think you are giving them the healthy option but in fact these drinks are full of hidden sugars which will and can damage your child’s teeth.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It is simply unacceptable how many children suffer from tooth decay when in fact it is easily avoidable. We only get 2 sets of teeth throughout our lifetime so we need to take care of our teeth, preventing any possible treatment being needed. In fact if you instil good oral hygiene habits from a young age, your child is highly likely to carry on these habits throughout adulthood</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></h1>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Do you notice that you may sometimes have bad breath, even though you brush and floss your teeth twice a day? The problem isn’t necessarily your brushing technique, but may in fact be that you aren’t cleaning your tongue properly.<br /><br />Here’s what you need to know about why you should be paying more attention to the cleanliness of your tongue and how to do just that.<br /><br /><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Why is my tongue so important?</span></b><br /><br />The tongue is a major feature of the mouth and makes it possible for us to eat and articulate our speech. Without it, we would not be able to taste anything, whistle a happy tune, tell someone about our day, or chew and swallow efficiently. It is such an integral part of our lives, used constantly every day, and yet most of the time we fail to give it a second thought.<br /><br />You may have heard that the tongue is a muscle, but that is only partly true. The tongue is actually a group of muscles with each one having a specific job. At the tip of the tongue is a small muscle that can move quickly and uses the surface of the teeth to create certain sounds of speech, such as when pronouncing the letter ‘L’. This muscle also moves food from the front of the mouth to the back where it can mix with saliva and break down into swallowable bits.<br /><br />Other muscle groups in the tongue help to change the shape of the tongue and move it up, down, side-to-side, in, and out. The muscles at the back of the tongue make it possible for us to articulate what are known as hard sounds of speech, such as the letter ‘K’ and ‘G’. They also move food that’s ready to swallow into the esophagus in small and controlled amounts so we don’t choke.<br /></span></header><header class="entry-header" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Why do I need to clean my tongue?</b></span><br /><br />Just like bacteria builds up on and in between your teeth, hardening into plaque and tartar if not removed, bacteria also builds up on your tongue. The surface of your tongue is covered in tiny bumps called papillae, and within the grooves of these bumps collect bacteria, dead skin cells, and food particles. This is then covered by a thin layer of mucus which coats the fleshy parts of the mouth. The bacteria and other debris trapped on the tongue can cause bad breath, or halitosis, and a white discolouration of the tongue. In addition, the bacteria on the tongue can redeposit onto teeth and gums, even after they’ve been cleaned, increasing the likelihood of plaque and tartar buildup.<br /></span></header><header class="entry-header" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">So how do I clean my tongue properly?</span></b><br /><br />There are two main ways to properly clean your tongue: brushing and scraping. Brushing your tongue involves gently scrubbing your tongue from back to tip with a moistened toothbrush. You can do this most effectively while brushing your teeth by spitting out excess toothpaste after cleaning your teeth so that your mouth and toothbrush still have toothpaste residue on them. Then gently scrub your tongue, cheeks, and the roof of your mouth.<br /><br />If you’d prefer a different or additional tongue cleaning method, try out a tongue scraper. These devices can be found inexpensively at most drug stores. They’re designed to glide along the surface of your tongue, taking off the tongue’s layer of mucus, as well as the bacteria and debris it traps.<br /><br />To use most effectively, place the scraper at the back of the tongue while sticking your tongue out and, with even pressure, slide the scraper down along the tongue’s surface towards the tip. Rinse the scraper and repeat, making sure to move from the back of the tongue to the tip so as to not to accidentally ingest the bacteria being removed. Once the whole surface of the tongue has been scraped, thoroughly clean and dry the tongue scraper, and brush and floss your teeth as normal.<br /><br /><b><span style="color: #38761d;">How often should I clean my tongue?</span></b><br /><br />Cleaning your tongue should be a part of your daily oral health routine. Bacteria begins to build up on the surface of teeth, gums, cheeks, and tongue very soon after brushing, so a daily tongue cleaning, just like regular brushing and flossing, is an important step in warding off oral health issues.<br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>What if it hurts or I gag when I clean my tongue?</b></span><br /><br />If you find that cleaning your tongue daily is resulting in discomfort, you may be scrubbing or scraping too vigorously. The pressure needed to clean the tongue is no more than the amount needed to lightly hold your toothbrush or tongue scraper in place on your tongue. Your tongue is made up of delicate skin which can become inflamed or painful when irritated, so if you are feeling discomfort, hold off on cleaning your tongue for a day or two until the skin of your tongue can restore itself and then try again with a much more gentle approach.<br /><br />If the discomfort is due to a wound or sore, refrain from cleaning your tongue until the issue has healed as scrubbing or scraping the area will irritate it and may even cause more damage. Also, if this is the case for you, be sure to visit your dentist for further advice and to ensure that what’s hurting you is not part of a larger health issue.<br /><br />Cleaning your tongue can be a challenge for those who have a very sensitive gag reflex as touching the back of the tongue can sometimes trigger involuntary gag responses. If this sounds familiar to you, try out tongue cleaning slowly to get yourself used to the sensation. A trick of the dental trade is to stick out your tongue and, when you are about to touch a sensitive part, relax the tongue completely while exhaling fully. Exhaling generally overrides the gag reflex and allows you to go about your business without having to worry about unpleasant and involuntary gag responses.<br /><b><span style="color: #38761d;"><br />What if I still have questions?</span></b><br /><br />If you still have questions, that’s okay!

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Keeping your teeth and gums clean is very important. Oral health has a significant role to play in your overall well-being. Poor dental hygiene can reflect in your physical health. To have healthy teeth and gums, you need to keep it away from bacterial infection. The root cause of such infections is plaque and tartar. Indeed, it is crucial to know about these harmful substances and the ways to prevent them successfully. <br /><br /><br /><b><i style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #7f6000;">This blog is all about causes, prevention and treatment of plaque and tartar</span></i></b><br /><br /><span style="color: #7f6000;"><b> About Plaque:</b></span><br />It is a colorless, sticky and thin film of bacteria which keeps forming on the tooth surface and gumline. You need to remove it by proper flossing and brushing to keep your mouth clean and fresh. Plaque, if not removed, can turn into another thicker and harder substance – tartar. It is a form of plaque that sticks to the enamel and below the gum line.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #7f6000;">Causes of Plaque:</span></b><br />After you have your meal, a lot of food particles remain stuck in between the teeth for a long time. There are bacteria in the mouth that attack on the food remains, especially carbohydrates and sugars producing harmful acids. The acids then target the tooth surface hampering the enamel. If these bacteria and acids are not removed on time, it results in the formation of more plaque and tartar. Tartar is an advanced form of plaque which makes it thicker and sticky adhering the tooth surface strongly. <br /><br />The unremoved plaque can cause oral problems like periodontal disease and tooth decay which ultimately leads to more serious issues. To avoid these problems, you should go for a regular checkup with your dentist.<br /><br /><span style="color: #7f6000;"><b> Common symptoms</b></span>:<br />Formation of plaque is normal for everyone as the bacteria growing in the mouth are almost invisible. The unremoved plaque from the gum line results in irritation and inflammation of gums. This if left untreated, may lead to gingivitis which further progresses into a periodontal disease. Beyond these oral issues, lies another severe problem, tooth loss. You can ultimately lose a tooth as a result of untreated gum disease.<br /><br />To the contrary, tartar can be easily noticed with its thick build-up above the gum line. Its most peculiar symptom is a brown or yellow deposit around the gumline or the front teeth of the lower jaw. An effective way of getting away with it is professional cleaning.</span><b style="color: #7f6000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></b></div>

<span style="color: #666565;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When you visit your
dentist, he or she will take an X-ray of your teeth to look for possible signs
of decay and check how your wisdom teeth are developing. If a wisdom tooth is
misaligned or is only partially erupted through the gums, it may need to be extracted.
A misaligned tooth could crowd or damage adjacent teeth. Partial eruption,
meanwhile, leaves your mouth vulnerable to infection and tooth decay.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
