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.

Obesity and Gum Disease Linked by Oakland General Dentist
The Woodcrest, CA dentists at Riverside Dental Group strongly believe in the oral-systemic connection; that your overall health and dental health are intertwined. February is National Heart Month, and obesity is an issue that can greatly impact your heart health. If you are significantly overweight, you join a growing number of people that make up about one-third of the American population. Maintaining a healthy weight doesn’t just reduce your chances of heart disease, but also lowers risks of type 2 diabetes and certain forms of cancer. New evidence that obesity even links to gum disease was supported by last year’s study in the January/February 2013 issue of General Dentistry. (more…)
