Think twice before you take a sip! Drinking soda or iced coffee daily can stain your teeth and feed the bacteria that cause cavities. Acidic drinks such as citrus juices or energy drinks can weaken enamel over time and lead to tooth decay. Want a healthier mouth? Try sipping through a straw, rinsing with water after sugary drinks, or switching to more teeth-friendly options such as milk or green tea. Remember to come to your semi-annual checkups with us! Call (559) 229-3556 to schedule yours today.

Short answer: No. Brushing your teeth removes plaque and bacteria, which can help prevent more damage. However, it can't fix the enamel or fill the hole left by a cavity. If you suspect that you have a cavity, please contact our office at (559) 229-3556 to schedule an appointment. We will provide you with the necessary evaluation and treatment options.

You’ve probably heard this so many times, but it’s true – flossing is JUST AS IMPORTANT as brushing! Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles between your teeth that are difficult for your toothbrush to reach. Adding this habit to your routine can also help prevent gum disease and cavities. If you haven’t been flossing regularly, now is a great time to start. Your gums will thank you! Contact us at (559) 229-3556 for more dental care tips.

If you've been feeling discomfort around the skin in your mouth after brushing your teeth, you could be dealing with a toothpaste allergy. Symptoms may include mouth irritation, swelling, or a rash around the mouth. Allergies to toothpaste can be caused by ingredients like fluoride, sodium lauryl sulfate, or flavoring agents. Switch to toothpaste with fewer potential allergens. If you experience difficulty breathing or swelling in your throat, contact emergency services immediately. If you have more questions, contact us at (559) 229-3556.
