Dr. Madwar says you should drink water after eating sugary Halloween candy. Studies show drinking or rinsing your teeth with water removes about 30% of the food and sugar in your mouth. Wait about 30 minutes, and then
brush your teeth.

Dr. Madwar loves Halloween, but he doesn't like all that sugar sitting on your teeth after you've eaten candy!
The bacteria that grow into acid in our mouths feed on sugar and starch. That acid removes minerals from your tooth enamel. The more sugar you eat, the more acid is formed. When the acid isn’t brushed away, your tooth enamel decays and causes cavities.

Dr. Madwar reminds patients to go gently when brushing teeth. “Too much pressure when you are brushing, even with a soft bristle brush, can damage your teeth and gums - and doesn’t get your teeth any cleaner. If you are concerned about discoloration, make an appointment to discuss whitening treatments.”

Why does Dr. Madwar recommend a soft bristle toothbrush? Firm bristles can damage your tooth enamel and hurt your gums and mouth tissue. A soft bristle toothbrush cleans just as thoroughly without harming your teeth.

Dr. Madwar may recommend an implant supported bridge if you have more than three teeth in a row that are missing.
This type of bridge will take some time to complete, as implants - small threaded posts - must fully integrate with your jawbone to act as missing teeth roots.

When you have missing teeth, Dr. Madwar may recommend a dental bridge.
A traditional bridge holds artificial teeth between two crowns. If your natural teeth are healthy on either side of the empty gap, this could be a good way to complete your smile.

Is it time for your 6-month exam, teeth cleaning and check up?
First, our dental assistant will take x-rays and use the latest 3D ITERO scanner so so we can see what’s going on inside your teeth and under your gums.
Dr. Madwar will evaluate these x-rays, perform an oral cancer check and a TMJ check and then remove plaque and tartar from your teeth.

Lots of people tell Dr. Madwar that it’s difficult to floss. He advises, “Use a thicker waxed floss and don’t skimp - cut off at least 18” which is easier to maneuver. Use a back-and-forth motion to get the floss between your teeth and whisk away plaque. If you still have trouble, try interdental brushes or a water flosser. Don’t use toothpicks, which can injure your gums and don’t clean thoroughly anyway.”

Do you really need to floss if you’re brushing in the morning and before bed? “Absolutely,” says Dr. Madwar. “Your brush can’t reach between teeth. Flossing gets between teeth to remove plaque. Plaque that isn’t flossed away hardens into calculus that can only be removed professionally, which makes your regular teeth cleaning a little more difficult.”
