Protect Your Teeth from Sugar Damage

At Bilski Dental, we
understand the concerns many of our patients have regarding the protection of
their teeth from sugar. It’s a common question, and we’re
here to provide some clarity and guidance on how to best care for your teeth
in the presence of sugary foods.

Understanding Sugar’s
Impact on Teeth:

• The effect of sugar
  on teeth varies among individuals, but it can start damaging teeth almost
  immediately after consumption.
• Certain foods, like
  cheese and apples, are often thought to protect teeth, but they can also get
  stuck in crowded teeth, contributing to tooth decay if not properly
  cleaned.

Best Practices for Dental
Care:

• Brushing and rinsing
  within the first 20 minutes after eating can significantly reduce the risk of
  cavities and periodontal disease.
• Utilizing tools like
  Waterpiks can be more effective than traditional flossing, especially for
  removing particles that brushing alone can’t
  reach.

Regular Dental
Visits:

• Regular dental
  check-ups are crucial. For most people under 60, twice a year is recommended,
  increasing to three times a year after 60, and even more frequently for
  individuals over 70 or with specific health
  concerns.
• These visits are
  important not just for oral health, but also for overall health, as the two
  are closely linked.

At Bilski Dental, we are
committed to providing comprehensive dental care and educating our patients
on the best practices for maintaining oral health. We encourage our patients
to be proactive in their dental care routine and to visit us regularly for
check-ups and cleanings.
