Does Our Invisalign Quiz Align with Your Knowledge?
Incorrect alignment of the upper and lower dental arches is called malocclusion. You may have heard of overbites and underbites. There’s also something called a crossbite where your teeth angle in different directions rather than straight up-and-down. Many people are used to braces as the only possible option for straightening teeth. Fortunately, dental innovations have developed technology such as Invisalign to allow you to undergo teeth straightening without the drawbacks of traditional metal braces. Your Corona dentists would like to answer some frequently asked questions about Invisalign. (more…)
Temecula Dentists Provide Tips on Choosing a Toothbrush
at Oasis Family Dental would like to offer you some toothbrush choosing tips.
Tip #1: Size is Everything
When choosing a toothbrush, you want to purchase one that will aid you in reaching all of the nooks and crannies in your mouth. The handle of the brush should be long enough that you can maneuver it in and out of your mouth with ease. The average store-bought toothbrush will have a head that’s about an inch long and a half-an-inch wide. This should fit the average mouth. However, if you find that size tends to be a problem, talk to your Temecula dentists about alternative options.
Tip #2: A Soft Touch
Most toothbrushes are made with soft nylon bristles. You might think that you’ll be able to do a better job with a harder toothbrush, but this can actually be too abrasive for your protective tooth enamel. If you have particularly large amounts of calculus (tartar) buildup, even with good oral hygiene and regular cleanings, a medium or hard toothbrush might be recommended. Just be sure to follow your dentist’s orders, and when in doubt, ask.
Tip #3: Rock Down to Electric Avenue
Many patients wonder if they should invest in an expensive electric toothbrush, or just stick to the manual, disposable versions they grew up with. For people with issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, or those that simply have trouble sticking with their twice-daily oral hygiene routine, electric toothbrushes might be the best way to give your teeth the proper two minute cleaning they deserve. You may even be surprised to know that teeth and gums sometimes receive a gentler cleaning from electric brushes. At the very least, they are far more consistent. If you do go down the electric avenue, be sure to change your brush heads every three months. Dental

Nitrous Oxide Information from Riverside Dentists
at Riverside Dental Group, would like to tell you more about nitrous oxide in relation to dentistry.
Nitrous Oxide
You may be more familiar with the term “laughing gas” when talking about nitrous oxide. However, most people don’t so much chuckle as they feel relaxed, warm, and peaceful. Nitrous oxide is administered through a mask and begins to take effect almost immediately. The effects of the gas are painless, and make you oblivious to any discomfort or nervousness from certain dental procedures. Some patients are so nervous about going to the dentist, they might inquire about laughing gas for a regular checkup and cleaning. If you are highly phobic about going to the dentist for any reason, nitrous oxide might be a potential option for your peace of mind.
Understanding Dentists
Not everyone is nervous enough to require sedation for certain dental procedures. Cleanings, fillings, crowns, porcelain veneers – many of the least invasive treatments can be done with no anesthetic, or only a local numbing agent. If you just have a twinge of nervousness, it can work wonders to shop around for a dentist that understands nervous patients. If your dentist doesn’t seem to have the time to listen to your questions and thoughtfully answer them, and that makes you feel uneasy, it may be worth it to go somewhere else. Your Riverside dentists are dedicated to staying in tune with your unique needs so that you can have the most comfortable dental experience possible.
