Your Assignment for Today: Chew Gum

Did you know that sour candies are just as bad for your teeth as chewy sticky candies?

High acid levels in these treats can break down tooth enamel quickly.

Wishing everyone the best for the new year.

#Stress is thought to be a factor in #TMJ. Even strenuous physical tasks, such as lifting a heavy object or stressful situations, can aggravate TMJ by causing overuse of jaw muscles, specifically clenching or grinding teeth (also known as #bruxism).

Did you know that dental pain can be triggered by pressure changes?

The pain you feel is due to barotrauma (“baro” – pressure; “trauma” – injury) or commonly referred to as a “squeeze.” And squeezes occur when pressures outside your body and inside your body are not the same.

Who Needs Corrective Jaw Surgery?

People who may benefit from corrective jaw surgery include those with an improper bite resulting from misaligned teeth and/or jaws. In some cases, the upper and lower jaws may grow at different rates. Injuries and birth defects may also affect jaw alignment. While orthodontics can usually correct bite, or "occlusion," problems when only the teeth are misaligned, corrective jaw surgery may be necessary to correct misalignment of the jaws.

How serious is an impacted wisdom tooth?

If left in the mouth, impacted wisdom teeth may damage neighboring teeth, or become infected. Because the third molar area of the mouth is difficult to clean, it is a site that invites the bacteria that leads to gum disease. Furthermore oral bacteria may travel from your mouth through the bloodstream, where it may lead to possible systemic infections and illnesses that affect the heart, kidneys and other organs.

The inside of the mouth is normally lined with a special type of skin (mucosa) that is smooth and coral pink in color. Any alteration in this appearance could be a warning sign for a pathological process. The most serious of these is oral cancer. The following can be signs at the beginning of a pathologic process or cancerous growth:

-Reddish Patches (Erythroplasia) or Whitish Patches (Leukoplakia) in the Mouth

-A Sore that Fails to Heal and Bleeds Easily

-A lump or thickening on the skin lining the inside of the mouth

-Chronic Sore Throat or Hoarseness

-Difficulty in Chewing or Swallowing

Continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, is the most common, noninvasive treatment for moderate to severe sleep apnea.

Third molar teeth are called "wisdom" teeth because usually they come in when a person is between the ages of 17 and 21, or older. This is presumably old enough to have gained some wisdom!

While chicken broth is actually a great thing to eat after your surgery, you must let it cool first! If it's too hot, it can "steam" your blood clots out, thus causing dry sockets!

Did you know that women are actually more likely to get dry sockets than men because of their high estrogen levels?

They should attempt to schedule their operation towards the end of their menstrual cycle to minimize the chances of getting dry sockets.
