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 (708) 771-8101 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 (708) 771-8101 for more dental care tips.

Adults have four kinds of permanent teeth, each tooth having a specific job. Every tooth plays a crucial role in our oral health, from incisors that help us bite into food to molars designed for grinding. Understanding how these different types of teeth work together can help us appreciate the complexity of our smiles and the importance of dental care. Have questions about our dental services?

Your oral health plays a vital role in your overall well-being. Neglecting dental care can allow harmful bacteria to enter your bloodstream, potentially leading to heart disease.

There are different studies as to why gum disease & heart disease are connected. Because of this connection, it makes sense to take good care of your teeth & gums.

Brushing twice a day is essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. It's not just about how often you brush, but also the technique you use. Use a gentle, circular motion to clean your teeth effectively without damaging the enamel or gums. Don’t forget to replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months or sooner if the bristles are frayed, as an old brush won’t clean as well. Have questions about your oral care routine? Call us at (708) 771-8101.

Some people believe in putting toothpaste on cold sores. While it may dry out the area, toothpaste can irritate the skin and potentially make the cold sore worse! Instead, opt for antiviral creams or ointments designed to target the virus, keep the area clean, and wash your hands after treating it. Otherwise, avoid touching the sore to prevent spreading. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for personalized cold sore care. Call us at (708) 771-8101
