Here's Why...<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">If you wake up with a sore jaw, have chronic headaches or even have fractured teeth, you might be grinding your teeth without even realizing it. Most people are not aware of the fact that they grind (or brux) their teeth until they see their dentist who can pinpoint the symptoms. If you have been told that you are grinding your teeth, you might find yourself wondering why. Of course every case is different, but there are a few reasons that commonly occur.</span></div>

<ol>
<li><b>Stress</b> – If you are under a lot of stress it can come out at night. When your muscles clench, it is a natural reaction to grind your teeth. </li>
<li><b>Mouth Irritations</b> – Whether it is teeth that do not line up perfectly, or another dental issue occurring in your mouth, you could end up grinding your teeth together at night to deal with the irritation.</li>
<li><b>Allergies or Colds</b> – If you are uncomfortable from allergies or a cold, you might grind your teeth at night to deal with the discomfort.</li>
<li><b>New Dental Work</b> - If you've recently had a filling or crown placed, your teeth may not line up anymore, and your mouth will constantly be adjusting to find the right "bite" again resulting in grinding.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">There are several ways to deal with bruxism, <a href="http://www.vancouverdds.com/index.asp?N=dentist-Vancouver-WA-Family-Dentistry&C=380&P=3016" target="_blank">including visiting your dentist </a>to get fitted for a mouth guard. If you prefer to do something less drastic, you can try including relaxation methods into your daily routine and find ways to manage your allergies to avoid chronic grinding. Unfortunately, if you are subjected to grinding your teeth, you might not be able to prevent it from occurring 100 percent, but decreasing the amount of time that it occurs can help your overall dental health.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Last month, we wrote <a href="http://vancouverfamilydentist.blogspot.com/2014/02/healthy-mouth-healthy-baby-part-i.html" target="_blank">Part I of a post</a> about awaiting the arrival of your new baby, and some of the risks of your oral health. There are two other oral health "red flags" to be aware of during your pregnancy.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Sensitive Teeth</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">
</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Some women experience morning sickness including vomiting during their pregnancy, which on its own is unpleasant, but the side effects could be even worse. The acid in vomit can cause the enamel of your teeth to erode. The enamel erosion could cause you to have sensitive teeth as well as be more prone to tooth decay.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">To help prevent this erosion, we recommend drinking water to flush your teeth and waiting at least 15-30 minutes after vomiting before brushing your teeth. This allows time for the acid in your mouth to subside and be washed from your teeth with water and saliva, helping you avoid "brushing off" the enamel.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Pregnancy Tumors</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Some women experience pregnancy tumors. These puffy areas of the gums are typically non-cancerous, but can be painful or uncomfortable for you. Pregnancy tumors are inflammatory reactions to an irritant like plaque, and can bleed and become unsightly to some women, causing them to refrain from eating, smiling and talking. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">It is very important to see your dentist while you are pregnant. Dr. Snodgrass will be able to ensure that your teeth remain healthy, as well as determine if you are prone to or suffering from any pregnancy induced oral health issues. </span></div>

<span class="s1">The largest risk to your mouth during your pregnancy is the risk of <a href="http://www.vancouverdds.com/index.asp?N=dentist-Vancouver-WA-Periolase-Gum-Treatment&C=380&P=3021" target="_blank">gingivitis and gum (periodontal) disease</a>. The hormones that are created to keep your baby safe can put you at higher risk for pregnancy- induced gingivitis. If you don’t already have gum disease, this condition is usually temporary, and usually appears between the second to eighth month of pregnancy. Keep up with your home care by brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily, as well as getting your professional cleanings. There has been some studies linking gum disease to premature births, so speak to your dentist about what you can do to if you have gum disease and reducing your risk of complications. </span></div>

<b><br /></b></div>

We recommend visiting the dentist several times during your pregnancy so that Dr. Snodgrass can monitor your dental health as your body changes and hormonal levels shift. We find that many dental insurance plans offer extra visits for expectant mothers, so these additional visits are affordable as well.

<div style="font: 16.0px Times; line-height: 16.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 20.0px 0.0px;">
In contemporary society, it might be shocking to know that <i>“69% of adults ages 35 to 44 have lost at least one permanent tooth to an accident, gum disease, a failed root canal or tooth decay.” </i>By the time most adults reach their seventies, 26% have few if any of their original teeth left.</div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Times; line-height: 16.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 20.0px 0.0px;">
With so many people losing teeth and with our current dip in the economy, many people cannot afford the cost of implants and so go either without their teeth or with the less favorable option of bridges or dentures. Yet dental implants are the most desirable of all teeth-replacement options: they look natural, last virtually forever, do not cause pain, discomfort and bad breath and are permanent. Unlike dentures and bridges, implants do not sit on top of the gums or adhere to adjacent teeth. Instead, <span style="color: #0019e4; text-decoration: underline;"><b><a href="http://www.vancouverdds.com/" target="_blank">your dental implant dentist, Dr. Alan Snodgrass</a></b></span>, places them inside the jawbone, making them a natural, long-term replacement for teeth.</div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Times; line-height: 16.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 20.0px 0.0px;">
Thankfully, there is an alternate solution for those who need implants but cannot afford the cost. With a moderate-term, esthetic provisional, patients would be able to preserve their implant site and have the benefit of a temporary replacement tooth. Using computer-aided design and manufacturing, dentists can digitally create temporary implants for a fraction of the cost of permanent ones. The result, produced by a milling machine, is almost as strong as gold.</div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Times; line-height: 16.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 20.0px 0.0px;">
What this means is that there is now a predictable and successful stopgap for people who do not want dentures but who cannot afford implants. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0019e4;"><a href="http://www.vancouverdds.com/" target="_blank">Call your Vancouver, WA dentist</a></span>, Dr. Snodgrass at Thurston Oaks Dental for further details on how you can get your grin back.</div>

Conscious, or moderate sedation, allows patients to remain awake during dental procedures. Patients are able to interact with their dentists but do not feel any discomfort or pain. Moderate sedation can also help patients avoid more severe side effects of general anesthesia such as nausea, headache, vertigo and long-term drowsiness. This form of sedation generally causes the patient to not remember anything about their dental appointment other than a pleasant experience.</div>

One of the most common forms of non-IV sedation is Nitrous Oxide, known as 'laughing gas'. Patients of all ages can use Nitrous Oxide with minimal to no side effects.</div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times-Roman, serif;">If
you believe that frozen yogurt is better for your health than

healthier for your diet, it is not good for your teeth. Frozen yogurt

within the ingredients of frozen yogurt resides evaporated cane
juice. Evaporated cane juice is another form of sugar, and should
never be referred to as a "healthy" sugar. Both contain
molasses, but evaporated cane juice has a somewhat lower percentage.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times-Roman, serif;">Regardless
of the types of sugar you eat, when you consume food containing sugar
you are putting yourself at risk of getting cavities. Sugar is a

together, but realize that the "health benefits" of frozen

Everyone knows that choosing a
dentist is important, but dental care outside of your <a href="http://www.vancouverdds.com/" target="_blank">Vancouver dental office</a> is equally important. If you put a lot of thought into your teeth,
finding the best toothbrush is just as important as finding the best
dentist. Both will have a huge impact on your smile, so it is best to
get it right.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
The days of the simple nylon
bristled toothbrushes have long gone, and now we have electrical
powered toothbrushes, in addition to disposable toothbrushes.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Size matters when you are choosing a
toothbrush. You need to find a toothbrush head that is one-inch tall,
and half an inch wide. Next you will need to browse the bristle
varieties. Soft bristles are more popular, because they are
comfortable. If you are a heavy brusher, you will want to avoid hard
or medium bristle brushes, because the heavy brushing can cause
damage to your mouth.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Heavy brushers who use a medium or
hard bristle brush are more likely to damage their:</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Protective Tooth Enamel</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Gums</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Root Surface
</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Parents should purchase a soft
bristle brush with a small head for children.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Before you place that toothbrush in
your shopping cart, look over the recommendations. You do not want to
purchase a toothbrush that has not been tested for safety, regardless
of how expensive – or cheap – it is. Fancy toothbrushes may be
the most stylish, but they are not the best. If you do not see a Seal
of Approval from the <a href="http://www.ada.org/" target="_blank">American Dental Association</a>, do not purchase the
toothbrush. </div>

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
When you suffer from a tooth
abscess, you suffer from more than tooth pain. The pain from the bacteria
infection is often severe and can keep you from getting a good
night’s sleep, in addition to stopping you from completing work at
the office during the day. You could fall victim to a tooth abscess
at any time, so it is best to be prepared in case it happens. When you experience this type of dental pain, it is important to give your <a href="http://www.vancouverdds.com/" target="_blank">Vancouver emergency dentist</a> a call to care for your oral health.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
When you have a tooth cavity, it can
cause an infection, known as an abscess. When bacteria grows a pus
pocket will form. There is no specific region where an abscess can
occur.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
There are various symptoms that can
alert you that a tooth abscess has arrived. Some of those signs
include:</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Red Face and Mouth</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Swelling</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Tenderness</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Gum Inflammation</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Pus Drainage</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Pain…and lots of it.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
You can rinse your mouth out with
warm water if you are suffering from a dental abscess. To treat the
pain, you can purchase naproxen or ibuprofen, but these
anti-inflammatory medicines will provide a small – if any –
amount of relief. The pain may stop temporarily, but the infection is
still alive and well. You will need to consult with a dentist as soon
as possible to treat your infection, and get you back to work, and
resting without issue during the night.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Keep in mind that if a tooth abscess
goes untreated, it could lead to a more severe dental issue. This
condition can spread, and cause you to become extremely ill. Some
individuals who do not treat their tooth abscess have had to be
hospitalized. </div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Fluoride is nature's cavity fighter, occurring naturally in the earth's crust, in combination with other minerals in rocks and soil. Small amounts of fluoride occur naturally in all water sources, and varying amounts of the mineral are found in all foods and beverages. Water fluoridation is the process of adjusting the natural level of fluoride to a concentration sufficient to protect against tooth decay. Flouride minerals bind to enamel to strengthen the structure of the tooth, and this can be key for children as their teeth develop.</span></span></div>
