Unlike mouthguards for athletes, night guards are worn at night while you sleep. These guards are designed to protect the surface of your teeth from grinding. Others help those with mild sleep apnea or regular snoring. We can determine which type of night guard you need and how to best choose a night guard.

Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day. This celebration comes with green beer, green clothing, green food, and—a trip to the dentist? It’s true! The amount of emergency dental visits actually spike after St. Patrick’s Day with a staggering 64 percent increase on March 18. This trend is seen across the country and the reason may surprise you!

Dentists see a huge influx of people who have dental emergencies after March 17 and, usually, it is those who have lost a tooth. Interestingly enough, this happens more to men than women. So, why does this occur? People are enjoying St. Patrick’s Day a little too much, and get into fights at the bar, which leads to damaged teeth!

While we are not open today, if you were involved in one of these DM or call us. We will see if we can help.

Don't forget to brush, floss and use your mouthwash tonight after your corn beef and cabbage!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

DID YOU KNOW::::Tooth decay is 4x more common than asthma in adolescents!

YES! We are ready, not at 2am, but closer to 9pm when we go to bed.
Don't forget to move your clocks ahead before bed! And don't forget to brush your teeth😁

When the bristles on your toothbrush become splayed and flat it becomes less effective in removing plaque and it can even damage your gums.
📆 It’s important that you change your toothbrush every 3 months.
😷 Its also important to change your toothbrush after you've had a cough or a cold.
Bacteria and germs can hide in toothbrush bristles and lead to reinfection.
Some newer brushes have color indicators built into the brush. When the color changes, it is time to replace the brush however we would always recommend changing every 3 months as a general rule of thumb.

We want baby & senior pictures of our patients!

March is National Kidney Month. Both tooth decay and gum disease can lead to infections that can cause problems for people with kidney disease. A study in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology reported that people with kidney disease and those on dialysis are more likely to have periodontal disease and other oral health problems than the general population.

When you have just one of these drinks, bacteria that are normally found inside your mouth eat away at the sugar these drinks leave behind on your teeth.
As the bacteria consume the sugar, it begins to produce acid. Drinks with carbonation such add even more acid.
Eventually, the acid begins to eat away some of the enamel on your teeth, making the teeth thinner and weaker, and the likelihood of developing cavities becomes greater.
Sugary drinks are known as one of the most common dietary causes of tooth decay.

We are asking at your next appointment, to please "checkin" on your FB account. Tag yourself at El Dorado Family Dentistry!

Gum disease can lead to heart disease, stroke, blood clots, chronic inflammation and atherosclerosis. Inflammation of the arteries is the common denominator. And that can be caused by oral bacteria entering the blood stream and combining with fat deposits to cause plaque and restrict blood flow. Restricted blood flow can lead to additional build up, causing clots that can trigger all of the above.
During your exam we look for these signs, call our office to schedule, 316-321-0300.

High blood pressure is the most common type of cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately, high blood pressure rarely generates symptoms, which means you may not realize you have it. Did you know we may be one of the first people to recognize that something is wrong with your health?
Bad breath, mouth sores and bleeding gums may be signs of a more serious condition. While these developments don't necessarily mean high blood pressure, they could be symptoms of other problems. Learn more about the connection between oral health and high blood pressure during American Heart Month: https://bit.ly/34suTZg.
