Keep Teeth Safe when Snacking at the Movies
Is there any better winter pastime than going to the movies? With “awards season” in Hollywood, many people are scrambling to catch up on all of the most nominated films and performances. And really, how many movies can someone watch without a little snack? The smells of a movie theatre are very tempting. Popcorn, soda, Milk Duds, and Red Vines…all of them delicious. All of them unfortunately full of sugar and carbs, and damaging to your teeth. If you’re going to indulge in movie treats, do so in a smart and safe way. There’s no award from the Moreno Valley dentists for “Best Cracked Tooth.”

Sugar Alternatives for Better Dental Health
at Riverside Dental Group had an “enemy” it would probably be sugar. While germs cause cavities, they can’t do so without sugar. Though understandings in preventive dental health have certainly improved over the years, the added potency of oral healthcare products does not mean you can eat whatever you want with no consequences. As dietary science uncovers more information about sucrose, it’s clear that there is such a thing as a “sweet tooth.” In other words, sugar has addictive qualities that make you want to consume more the more you eat. So what are some dentist recommended sweetening substitutes? (more…)

Toothaches on a Plane
from Riverside Dental Group want you to stay aware that gas pockets can develop inside your teeth when you fly, imposing possible discomfort, and even potential tooth damage.
Are High-Altitude Toothaches Serious?
People afflicted by barodontalgia are generally those that have undiagnosed cavities, fillings, deep tooth crevices, or mouth inflammation. During an airplane flight, sudden barometric pressure changes occur when a plane ascends or descends. This creates potential gas expansion in various parts of the body, including intestines, sinuses, and ear canals. You probably know that chewing gum helps to “pop” your ears to relieve this sort of pressure. Internal organs and tissues are very pliant, so weathering gas build-up boils down to a slight discomfort for most people. However, when gas pockets develop in your teeth, the rigid nature of your dentin will not allow expansion. Too much pressure in your teeth and you may find yourself dealing with a dental crisis.
The Tell-Tale Signs of Barodontalgia
The next time you’re on an airplane, if you should feel soreness, pressure, or sudden sensitivity in a tooth, you might shrug it off. This could be followed by sharp pain in your teeth, however. Any tooth restorations or cosmetic prosthetics in your mouth such as crowns, fillings, or dental veneers could crack or dislodge during your flight. One way to look on the bright side, however, is that in-flight toothaches are sometimes a signal of tooth or root infections which are undiscovered as of yet. If you succumb to a significant bout of barodontalgia, make sure to arrange an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible.
