All about Cavities…

Can A Cavity Be Reversed Naturally?

Cavities, or dental caries, are painful holes that bore into the surface of the tooth enamel. They occur because sugars and harsh acidic ingredients get on the tooth’s protective layer and eat away at it. Cavities usually spread over time as new substances invade and agitate them. You may be wondering if your cavities can be naturally reversed naturally. The short answer is no. While you can take certain steps to prevent a cavity from expanding, you cannot naturally reverse an existing cavity’s progress.

What You Can Do About a Cavity

To stop a cavity’s progress, you can visit an visit Beach Braces office in Manhattan Beach and ask to place fillings inside of your cavities. Fillings can create a barrier that lines up with your tooth’s enamel to prevent harsh substances from penetrating the surface. Fillings can have an amalgam texture, or they can be ceramic and match the color of your teeth.

Doing everything you can to prevent future cavities is important. One thing you can do to help protect yourself from cavities is visit a dentist at least once every six months for a cleaning and a checkup. While you are waiting for such a visit, you will want to keep your teeth as clean as possible. You can brush your teeth twice per day for at least two minutes per session. You may also want to floss at least two times a day. Additionally, you can use an alcohol-free antimicrobial mouthwash to fortify your mouth’s environment.

If you would like to strengthen your tooth enamel naturally, you can increase your daily intake of vitamin D. Other vitamins and minerals that can help to strengthen your teeth are calcium and phosphorus. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids is important to your teeth, as well. Proper hydration promotes saliva production, which helps to keep harmful bacteria to a minimum.

Baby Teeth vs. Permanent Teeth

Should I have a Baby Tooth Removed if a Permanent Tooth is Present?

When That Baby Tooth Keeps Hanging Around

If you have a baby tooth that refuses to fall out for your child, it can be a nuisance. This especially holds true when the permanent tooth comes in and that other tooth is still hanging in there. In addition to cosmetic reasons, you may have concerns about overcrowding in your child’s mouth if the tooth is left in place. Before you make any hasty decisions or jump to conclusions about braces, pay a visit to your dentist first to find some answers.

Baby Teeth Can Become a Problem

When your dentist evaluates your child’s situation, a thorough examination comes first. From that point, it will be important to determine why the permanent tooth is coming in and the primary tooth is still in place. This generally occurs as a result of a spacing or crowding issue. When both types of teeth are in place, your dentist will generally recommend removal of the baby tooth. However, this is not going to solve any orthodontic issues that have occurred. It will make it easier for your child to have good oral hygiene as it becomes easier to clean permanent teeth. It is important to keep your child’s gums and teeth healthy. Once the baby tooth has been removed, your dentist is likely to refer you to an orthodontist.

Dealing with Overcrowding or Improper Alignment of Your Child’s Teeth

When your child has primary teeth present at the same time as permanent teeth, there is likely to be an underlying, orthodontic issue. The only way to determine if this is the case you have to go beyond your dentist’s office. A referral to an orthodontist can help you to answer any questions and determine what will be the best course of action. Beach Braces may be the answer for you. The younger your child is when issues are identified, the easier it will be to handle any problems with his or her teeth. From tooth removal to the use of retainers or braces, there are many options that could bring your child’s teeth into proper alignment. The main goal is to bring out that beautiful smile and help your child to have healthy, strong teeth.

Celebrity’s Orthodontic Journey # 2: Tom Cruise

Think you’re too old for braces? Ask Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise. The star of Top Gun, Jerry Maguire, and Edge of Tomorrow, who was 39 years old when he first ventured into the orthodontist’s office! After appearing on magazine covers for nearly two decades–with a crooked smile–he finally took the plunge when one of his own children needed to get braces, and decided he would join in as well! As every magazine photo and movie of him since 2002 testifies: the rest is history.

Instead of the image of wires and rubber bands many of us have when we think about braces, Tom opted for a more discrete ceramic type, the only visible part of which was a thin wire running across the front of his teeth. He wore them for about eighteen months, and was able to have the wire removed when he was doing a movie, then put back on after. In fact, many adults, like Tom, choose ceramic braces, but if those are too obtrusive, there are also clear aligners that are nearly invisible! Or maybe you’re interested in getting Wildsmile braces, metal braces emblazoned with charms and colors? We work with you to choose a style of braces that meets your specific health needs, while also fitting your personal or professional lifestyle.

Even if you’re not planning to walk down the red carpet anytime soon, straightening your teeth is a great way to improve your smile and boost your self-confidence. What are you waiting for? Come on in for a consultation with Dr. Patricia at Beach Braces today. She is a cutting-edge orthodontist, and one of the most qualified in Southern California. More importantly, she is dedicated to finding the right choice for you, so that you can love your braces before and after.

Solutions for Off-Centered Teeth

How Do I Fix Off-centered Teeth?

Beach Braces

While procedures for fixing off-centered teeth are traditionally thought of as procedures for children and teenagers, an increasing number of adults are seeking an orthodontist’s help in order to improve their smile. Improvements in cosmetic dentistry have allowed orthodontists to offer a greater number of options to adults who wish to fix their off-center smiles through the use of braces for adults. If you’re unhappy with your smile, being an adult actually increases the orthodontic options available to help you achieve the perfect teeth of your dreams.

Metal Braces

The traditional metal braces are composed of metal brackets and wires. These types of braces are usually chosen because they are the least expensive type, but they are not typically preferred by adults because they are the most noticeable and less than ideal if you are working in a professional environment.

Ceramic Braces

Although ceramic braces are similar to metal braces, they are not as noticeable. This is due to the fact that ceramic braces come with clear or tooth-colored brackets. These brackets are designed to blend in and not be noticeable. These types of braces are typically preferred because they are capable of moving teeth faster than other options. However, these options can stain easily.

Lingual Braces

In-Ovation L (lingual) Minor Tooth Movement is an orthodontic procedure that places the brackets behind your teeth. This orthodontic treatment focuses on the six upper and the six lower front teeth. There are no removable braces and you will not have to remove any trays. You will be free to eat, converse, and interact with others without anyone ever seeing your braces. Lingual braces are preferred because a difference is typically noticeable within 12 to 24 weeks. Additionally, fewer office visits are required with Lingual braces.

Invisalign

This procedure uses clear, removable, and customized aligners instead of brackets or wires. This technology requires an initial office visit to see if Invisalign will work for your teeth. If you are a candidate for the procedure, Invisalign’s advanced computer technology will design specific aligners calibrated exactly for your teeth. These are typically worn for two weeks until they are replaced with a new set. Using Invisalign with Acceledent may reduce the overall treatment time required to have perfectly straight teeth. The aligners must be taken out when eating, brushing, and flossing. Invisalign can only be provided by orthodontists who have received training and certification from Align Technology. Invisalign are an option for braces for adults only and cannot be used for children.
A qualified orthodontist should be able to help you decide which type of braces are right for you and your lifestyle. Fortunately, as part of her role as the best orthodontist in Los Angeles, Dr. Patricia J. Panucci has experience in providing orthodontic treatment for adults who need to fix their off-centered teeth. Contact her office at Beach Braces today to begin your journey towards the smile you’ve always wanted.

Decaffeinated Coffee = De-enameling your Teeth

Beach Braces, teeth stainingTeeth Staining Food # 9: Coffee

One of the biggest perpetrators of teeth staining and yellowing is the very thing that we drink every morning; coffee. While coffee might give us the pep in our step that we so desperately need to get through our day, it can also eradicate our white smile and leave us with teeth that are less than sparkling. Here are some tips on how you can combat tooth discoloration from your morning cup of joe.

Add a Little Cream – If you love your coffee strong and black, then you’re even more at risk for tooth discoloration. Even if you prefer your java dark, add just a little bit of milk or cream. This will reduce tooth staining.

Brush After Every Cup – A lot of people brush their teeth every morning, but then go on to chug coffee until the afternoon. Be sure to brush your teeth once you’re done drinking coffee, even if you have to sneak off and do it in the bathroom at work. This will help to reduce staining and discoloration.

Get Your Teeth Whitened – While the above tips will help somewhat to reduce staining, nothing beats getting your teeth professionally whitened. If you’re looking for teeth whitening, the specialists at Beach Braces can help. Anyone who is frustrated with the staining that they’ve experienced from daily coffee drinking will be happy with the results of a professional whitening treatment.

Sticky Candies: Extremely, Dangerously Sticky

Beach Braces, teeth stainingTeeth Staining Food # 7: Candy, Sweets and Chewing Gums:

Let’s face it: A life without candy, sweets and gum would be awfully dull. However, most people regret their tasty little indulgences once they find themselves in the dentist’s chair. While dentists’ first priority might be the health of your teeth, they’re still people, and they understand that no one wants to completely sacrifice sweets. Here are some tips on how you can include candy and sweets in your diet while preserving your healthy white smile.

Brush After Eating – Most people know that they are supposed to always brush after eating. However, many people interpret this to mean that they need to brush after breakfast, lunch and dinner. In reality, you need to brush after every time you eat, even if it’s just a quick bite of chocolate in the afternoon. Even a little bit of sugar can cause a cavity if allowed to sit on your teeth.

Avoid Caramels and Sticky Candies – While the occasional sticky candy, such as caramel, is alright, you generally want to avoid these sticky candy items. If you have braces, you should really go out of your way to find candies that aren’t particularly sticky or thick to enjoy. Sticky candies can get caught in orthodontia and cause damage to your braces over time.

When it comes to candy and dental health, moderation is key. A diet heavy in sweets will be damaging, but a few candy indulgences once in a while won’t do severe harm, as long as you always remember to brush after eating them.

Soda Wreaks Havoc on Your Teeth

Beach BracesTeeth Staining Food # 6: Soda, Cola and other Carbonated Drinks

The next time that your kids need an idea for a science project, suggest them to study the link between soda and tooth decay. All they need to do is place a tooth in a small amount of cola and watch what happens to that tooth over time. The high level of acidity in the soda will break through the enamel and cause the tooth itself to appear dark yellow, brown or even black. Once you see those results, you’ll think twice before handing over a can or bottle to your child.

Teeth Whitening:

Teeth whitening can reduce the problems that drinking soda can cause. Whether you have young children or teenagers at home, you might find that you don’t have as much time as you would like. It’s easy to grab a bottle of diet soda from the gas station or grocery store when you need a little extra energy, but drinking even one bottle a day can do more harm that you might think. While cutting back on your soda intake and how much soda your kids drink can help, you should also think about talking to an orthodontist.

An Orthodontist Specialist:

Dr. Patricia J. Panucci ranks as the leading orthodontist specialist serving the needs of her patients. She understands that you want to spend more time on the beach and less time worrying about your teeth. For some people do I need braces is a common question. They worry that their teeth are a little too crooked, and they worry about what others think when they smile. Whether you want a brighter smile or need braces for your child, call us at Beach Braces to get more information and answers to any questions you might have.

Get White Teeth without Giving up Your Favorite Berries

Beach bracesTeeth Staining Food # 5: Vibrantly Colored Fruits like, Blueberries, Blackberries, Cherries, Pomegranates.

When summer comes, you just can’t wait to dive into a container of fresh berries. You might head to one of the farmers markets or go right to the source and pick the berries yourself. Fruits with a vibrant color, including blackberries, cherries, blueberries and pomegranates are refreshing and a healthier alternative to a bag of chips or a candy bar. If you eat a large amount of those fruits though, you’ll notice that the color seems to remain behind on your teeth.

Teeth Whitening:

Teeth whitening, also called teeth bleaching, is a dental procedure that removes stains caused by coffee, tea, soda, fruits and other foods. Over the counter products let you remove stains at home, and include toothpaste, gels and whitening strips. Those products often contain a small amount of peroxide, but using peroxide on your teeth can eventually break down the enamel. In-office procedures are generally safer and more effective. Many offices use light therapy, but other offices use bleaching agents that can increase the whiteness of your teeth in several sessions.

Other Dental Problems? Contact an Orthodontist:

While dentists can complete a number of procedures, orthodontists can do even more. For affordable dental braces you might consider Dr. Patricia J. Panucci. As a preferred Invisalign provider locals know that she can straighten their teeth without using heavy, bulky or uncomfortable metal braces. Kids today deal with peer pressure and bullies at school and beyond, and you want your kids to feel as comfortable as possible throughout their education. Invisible braces will give your kids that straight and perfect smile that they want without other even knowing they wear braces. To make an appointment for teeth whitening you can get in touch with us at Beach Braces.

Since the process of straightening the teeth has been cut down considerably with this appliance, it is perfect for making 6 month smiles. The appliance is completely FDA approved, so you can be rest assured that it has been thoroughly tested and is safe for you or your children to use.

Clinical trial:

AcceleDent was the subject of a randomized clinical trial that proved beyond the shadow of a doubt how effective the appliance is when it comes to accelerating the process of straightening teeth. In the trial, the appliance increased the movement of teeth by 106 percent during the phase of initial alignment and between 38 and 50 percent during closure of extraction space. The study did not reveal any signs of teeth roots being damaged or other problems that might have been caused by the appliance.

Many years in development:

The increased rate of tooth movement that the study revealed basically means that the time a patient undergoes orthodontic treatment can be shortened by a minimum of five months during the initial two stages of the treatment. The science that this appliance uses took years of research to successfully develop. Dr. Jeremy Mao, Professor of Orthodontics at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, is one of the people responsible for the device’s creation. His work was critical in understanding the therapeutic effect that pulsatile forces can have in the acceleration of bone modeling.

How does Acceledent work?

Patented SoftPulse Technology applies micropulses that are specifically calibrated for each individual patient. These micropulses will gently cause the acceleration of teeth movement. The direction your teeth are going will be monitored by your orthodontist during the entire process. Conventional orthodontic treatment is perfectly complimented by the safe and gentle acceleration of the process of bone remodeling. The SoftPulse Technology micropulses are made to exert up to eight times less force than that of an electric toothbrush. This will make your orthodontic treatment process much easier than if you were wearing traditional braces.
