Did you just recently whitening your teeth? Are you
determined to keep those pearly whites? Or are you interested in professional <a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/our-dental-services-marietta-ga-kennesaw-georgia/teeth-whitening-marietta-ga/"><b>teeth whitening</b></a>? It can be normal
for teeth to become stained or discolored, even with proper oral hygiene and
care. If you have stains on your teeth that are getting in the way of your
beautiful smile, then fight back</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Here are some foods that stain your teeth: <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Red Wine</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">- it’s an acidic beverage that contains
tannins, known for staining teeth.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Tea – just like wine, it contains tannins. You
should stick with herbal green and white teas instead of black teas.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Coffee –although, it’s low in tannins, it
contains chromogens, also known for staining teeth.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Cola Drinks – it’s an acidic beverage that
contains chromogens. Even light colored colas can stain your teeth. Most
carbonated beverages have similar acidity to battery acid and it promotes
staining.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Sport Drinks – it’s a high acidic beverage that
softens up your enamel and it sets the stage for staining.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Berries – strawberries, blueberries, blackberries,
raspberries, and cranberries are all intensely colored fruits that cause
stains.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Sauces – tomato sauce, curry sauce, soy sauce also
contain dark colors that cause stains.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Candies – if your tongue turns a funny color
then chances are your teeth will too. </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Besides, eating candies allows you more prone
to dental</span><b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </b><a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/patient-education/" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>cavities</b></a><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">.</span></li>

Professional teeth whitening are generally safer than those
bought online or in a store because not everything is approved by the American
Dental Association (there’s usually a good reason for that). However,
professional teeth whitening kits aren’t for everyone and should always be
consulted with your dentist first. If you have sensitive teeth, <a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/patient_education/gum-disease-gingivitis-mariett/"><b>gum disease</b></a>, dental cavities, or
excessive white spots on your teeth then those need to be addressed prior to
any whitening.<o:p></o:p></div>

Researchers are still studying how bacteria and inflammation
associated with gum disease play a role in “systemic” problems, meaning it
affects the body as a whole. The mouth is a considered a window of the body by
showing signs in nutritional deficiencies and general infection. Diabetes,
AIDS, Sjogren’s syndrome become apparent because of mouth lesions and other
oral problems. Maintaining healthy gums is important for people who are susceptible
to bacterial pneumonia including the elderly, people prone to respiratory
infections and weak immune systems.</div>

The mouth is filled with countless bacteria linked to tooth
decay and <b><a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/gum-disease-and-your-dentist/">periodontal
disease</a></b>. Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums that can
destroy bone and tissues that support the teeth. Cardiovascular disease,
strokes, diabetes, pre-term deliveries in pregnant women and low birth weight
are all potential links with periodontal gum. Preventing periodontal disease is
an important step in maintaining your overall health. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
We all live in a health-conscious society and all ages
recognize the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Cleaning thoroughly by
brushing and flossing at least twice a day is important part of in preventing
gum disease. Scheduling regular dental visits, eating a balanced diet, limiting
unhealthy foods and snacks will also reduce your risk of developing periodontal

<b>What are dental x-rays used for?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dental x-rays are radiographic images that allows your <b><a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/our-dental-services-marietta-ga-kennesaw-georgia/initial-oral-exam/">local
dentist in Marietta</a></b> to diagnose and treat any oral health conditions. Dental
x-rays help dentists visualize conditions of the teeth and surrounding tissue
that cannot be seen with the naked eye during an oral exam. Dental abscesses, cysts, tumors, periodontal gum
disease, decay underneath fillings or in between teeth and the location of
impacted or unerupted teeth are all detected with dental x-rays. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>How often should teeth be x-rayed?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The frequency depends on your current dental or medical
history and even your dentist’s preference. Many people get dental x-rays are
often as every 6 months while others may only get them once a year, or every
couple of years or for a <b><a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/our-dental-services-marietta-ga-kennesaw-georgia/dental-emergencies-marietta-kennesa/">dental
emergency</a></b>. People, who fall into
the high risk category, requiring x-rays more often, include: children, adults
with current or existing extensive dental work, people who assume a lot of
sugary drinks, smokers, adults who have periodontal disease history, and those
who suffer from dry mouth. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>How safe are dental x-rays?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Any exposure to radiation has its risk; however, there have
been many advances in dentistry regarding digital x-rays that has helped in
making the radiation exposure small. Patients
who receive chest x-rays, mammograms, and/or CT scans are exposed to far more
radiation than dental x-rays. Radiation exposure can come from the sun, flying
in an airplane, minerals in the soil, home appliances, and even sleeping next
to someone. During the dental exposure process, you will be provided with a
lead apron to wear for your protection and safety. <o:p></o:p></div>

If you’re a dentist hater, your reasons don’t usually include
hating the actually dentist. Instead
it’s all the stuff that dentists <i>do</i>
that creep you out – the drilling, the filling, and the billing. You are not
alone because many people dread going to the dental office but if you learn to
understand why you avoid them it might help you overcome your fear(s). It’s
unfortunate because by avoiding the <a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/"><b>dentist office</b></a> you risk your overall dental health. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So why are you avoiding the dental office? The answer may
include a range of reasons including:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Cost – Many people avoid the dental
office because they are afraid of what it might cost but the truth is that if
you take good care of your teeth and mouth, yearly visits and dental cleanings
won’t cost a ton of money. If dental concerns are addressed early enough, your
solutions may be easier and less expensive. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Anxiety – Many people are simply just
afraid of the dentist, however, there are a number of things at <b><a href="https://plus.google.com/+Drkirkkimmerling/posts" target="_blank">Verde Pointe Dental Associates</a></b> to help minimize any fear. There’s always pleasant music playing, warm
blankets, and a cinemizer to allow patients to watch movies.<i> But</i>, most of all there’s always a
positive working environment and excellent communication with all patients. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Being Lectured - Its human nature
to want to avoid bad news, especially, if you’ve been neglecting your oral
health, such as brushing and flossing. Many patients have the fear of lecture
on their minds due to guilt as they know better and they just simply don’t want
to hear about it. The best way to address this is by voicing your fear to your <a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/our-dental-services-marietta-ga-kennesaw-georgia/initial-oral-exam/"><b>local dentist</b></a> and allowing them the
opportunity to reassure you so you can get back on track. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Bad Past Experiences – Did you
ever have a bad experience? If so, sometimes
it’s hard to let go and move on. Unfortunately, your brain is wired for fear so
you have a hard time trusting a new dentist, therefore, you just avoid them all
together. Again, by talking about it and
addressing your concerns it will not only help you feel more comfortable but it
will also help your new dentist understand your fears. </li>
</ul>

Fluoride is the most important reason why there has been a
decrease in <b><a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/patient-education/">dental cavities</a></b>.
Fluoride works by stopping or even reversing the tooth decay process. During
tooth decay, bacteria are present because of sugars or carbohydrates which
transforms into an acid. During the demineralization
process, a biofilm called “plaque” creates acid in the mouth which causes
calcium to be removed from the tooth. Fluoride
has the ability to re-mineralize a tooth if it’s caught early enough because decay
does not start off as a cavity but only has a white lesion. Fluoride is most
ideal for patients with high caries risk, patients who have <b><a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/our-dental-services-marietta-ga-kennesaw-georgia/crowns-and-bridges/">crown</a></b>
and bridge work and orthodontic decalcification. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, there are many debates and concerns with using
fluoride. Many people think that <b><a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/our-dental-services-marietta-ga-kennesaw-georgia/teeth-cleaning/">fluoride</a></b>
doesn’t belong in drinking water, but it actually occurs naturally in water and
it’s rarely at the level needed to protect your teeth. Fluoride is not a
medication but more so a mineral and when it’s presented at the right level,
fluoride works to prevent tooth decay and contributes to healthy bones. Also,
fluoride is not unsafe for small children; in fact, it is highly recommended
and plays a critical part to promote strengthening of the teeth. Fluoride
toothpaste is only not recommended for children under 2 because they swallow
the most when brushing their teeth. <o:p></o:p></div>

Fluoride gel or toothpaste at higher concentrations can only

<div class="MsoNormal">
Do you ever wake up in the morning and immediately cover
your mouth? To some degree, everyone has morning breath. The reason being is
because your mouth dries out when you sleep causing odor-producing bacteria to
increase. During the day, bacteria is
still at work to break down all the chemicals, protein and amino acids left
behind from food but your own saliva is more present to help wash away the
bacteria. When we fall asleep, your saliva production takes a rest also which
causes the smelly-bacteria to run wild and the grand unveiling of morning
breath.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, if you have a <b><a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/our-dental-services-marietta-ga-kennesaw-georgia/toothaches-toothache-marietta-and-kennesaw-georgia/">toothache</a></b>
associated with bad breath, this could be caused by other factors. Bad breath
has nothing to do with age, but bacteria that causes bad breath may have several
health implications. Having bad breath are the first signs of periodontal issues,
which has been proven to be involved with diabetes and heart disease. Make sure you always schedule your dental <b><a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/our-dental-services-marietta-ga-kennesaw-georgia/toothaches-toothache-marietta-and-kennesaw-georgia/">teeth
cleanings</a></b> at least every 6 months so that periodontal disease can be
detected early enough. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, how do we treat or get rid of morning breath?
Unfortunately, there isn’t a foolproof prevention for it but there are some
things you can do to help reduce it. When you brush, go directly to bed. Do not
eat or drink anything afterwards so you are not leaving anything behind. Make
sure you always brush your tongue, including the back of your tongue because statistics
say 85% of bad breath comes from the tongue. Invest into a tongue scraper to
help clean your tongue thoroughly and floss because brushing along will not
remove all the food partials stuck in between your teeth. <o:p></o:p></div>

If you are a candidate for dental implants, we highly
recommend going this route over any other dental alternative for replacing
missing teeth. Unlike a traditional bridge, it does not involve prepping the
adjacent teeth. <a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/our-dental-services-marietta-ga-kennesaw-georgia/dental-implants/" target="_blank"><b>Dental implants</b> </a>is
one of the strongest methods for replacing teeth because it’s anchored into the
bone which allows it to act and feel like your natural tooth. Dental implants help
restore proper chewing function and to stop the progression of bone loss by
mimicking the roots of your tooth.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
First, our dentists at <b><a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/+Drkirkkimmerling/posts" target="_blank">VerdePointe Dental Associates</a></b> will determine whether you are candidate for
dental implants by completing a comprehensive exam and taking any necessary
dental x-rays to see if you have enough bone to support the implant(s) and that
your overall oral health is good. During the planning process, your dentist
will determine exactly how and where to place the implant based on your jaw and
tooth structure. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next, your dentist will surgically place the implant which
is made of titanium. Titanium implants are used because your body does not
recognize it as a foreign object, therefore, allowing your actually bone to
graft itself around the implant making it just as strong as your original tooth
and root. A healing cap will then be placed over the implant, which could take
several months to heal. In some instances, a temporary retainer (flipper denture)
or temporary crown<b> </b>may be fabricated prior to the implant and inserted
immediately after surgery for cosmetic<b> </b>reasons.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the healing process, your implant is ready to be
restored and fitted for a new custom dental
crown. Your temporary appliance or healing cap will be replaced by a
permanent post. This post, also known as an abutment, is what holds your new
dental crown in place over the implant. </div>

<br />
A Swedish study from Malmo University suggested that a high fluoride toothpaste may help those wearing braces not to develop the spots. Since 85 percent of people wearing braces develop these lesions, a high fluoride toothpaste was studied. <br />
<br />
Five dental practices with over 400 people participated. Half were given a 4 times the amount of fluoride in a toothpaste, while the others used a regular fluoride toothpaste. After the 20 months, it was determined that the high fluoride is effective in stopping one third of white lesions in age group 11 to 16. Forty five percent with regular toothpaste showed signs of white spots while 34.6 that used the high fluoride showed the spots. <br />

Dental implants can fail, and if you are one of these people, the process is upsetting for the obvious reasons. Patient knowledge coupled with an experienced dentist can increase the likelihood dental implant success. <br />
<br />
For those considering dental implants, or already have implants, knowledge is always good.<br />

The good new is that a discolored front tooth can be fixed by a dentist. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A. Let's look at why the tooth turned dark.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Perhaps the number one reason a tooth turns dark is due to trauma. The tooth has been injured and the internal nerve tissue has died and is staining the inside of the tooth dark. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
B. What does a dentist do to fix the tooth?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If a tooth has died from trauma, a dentist will need to perform a procedure called a root canal. The procedure is designed to remove the dead tissue, clean the internal structure, and fill it with Gutta Percha, a rubber material. Sometimes, a dentist will suggest a few extra appointments to internally bleach the tooth before it is filled. These procedures usually take care of the dark tooth problem, giving back the beautiful smile once enjoyed. </div>
<div>

One of the nation's leading dental benefits providers, Delta Dental Plans Association has determined that less than one third of American caregivers realize that they can pass dental disease to a baby.<br />
<br />
You can protect your baby with a little forethought. Let's take a look at the facts.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tooth decay bacteria called Streptococcus mutans is commonly found in the human oral cavity. This bacteria can be passed when contaminated saliva from an adult enters a child's mouth. Typically, primary care givers and family contaminate the baby. Streptococcus mutans metabolize sugars and ferment-able carbohydrates into tooth dissolving acids.<br />
<br />
1. Brushing, flossing and will help prevent decay by reducing bacteria in the mouth.<br />
<br />
2. Reducing the intake of processed sugars, such as in candies, juices and cokes will reduce the colonization of bacteria causing decay.<br />
<br />
3. Brushing after eating or at least rinsing with water helps protect against tooth decay leading to <a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/our-dental-services-marietta-ga-kennesaw-georgia/dental-fillings-marietta-kennesaw-georgi/" target="_blank">dental fillings</a>, crowns, root canals, toothaches, <a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/our-dental-services-marietta-ga-kennesaw-georgia/dental-emergencies-marietta-kennesa/" target="_blank">dental emergencies</a> and more.<br />

Bacteria resides in the mouth that can enter the bloodstream to create havoc on the body. The dentists at the Marietta dental office want patients to understand the importance of keeping your mouth healthy.<br />

<br />
Let's explore some facts.<br />
<br />
Silver fillings, amalgams and metal fillings are all the same. If you have any, chances are that they have been there for a long time.<br />
<br />
Many older silver fillings have cracks, splits, chips, gaps, rough edges and decay, many times <br />

indicating a need for replacement. As long as there is enough healthy tooth structure left, a white filling is a good replacement.<br />
<br />
White fillings, tooth colored fillings, composite resins are all the same. The white fillings can greatly improve a smile, as they are indistinguishable to the untrained eye. They not only look better, but are just as durable.<br />
<br />
White fillings are not just for repairing a tooth, the material can be used to improve the cosmetics of a tooth.They can be used for people without naturally perfect smiles. Gaps, rough edges, and uneven surfaces many times can be improved with white filling material.

Many believe that George Washington's dentures were wooden. That was a myth. The Journal of the American Revolution, John Smith, Jr. wrote, "George Washington never had wooden teeth, nor did anybody of his time. It would have been kind of dumb to make teeth out of wood when better materials were available." It's been said his ivory dentures were stained from foods, such as wine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dentures of his time were made from human teeth and bone/ivory from hippopotamus. <br />

it! Although this sounds good on the surface, dental disease like many other diseases of the body doesn't necessarily hurt until it's too late for a minor repair. <br />
<br />
Disease involving the mouth, such as dental decay and periodontal gum disease usually does not cause discomfort in the early stages of easy repair. A cavity can progress invading the inner most portion of the tooth causing the need for a root canal. When the bacteria invades the nerve from decay, the more extensive and costly root canal becomes necessary to restore the tooth.<br />
<br />
Gum disease is much the same as decay. When it is left to progress, scaling and root planning, gum surgery and extractions can be the only treatment to get the mouth healthy. <br />
<br />
Regular dental cleanings at the dentist gives opportunity for early detection, less expensive restorations and a healthier you. <br />
<br />
If it ain't broke, FIX it!<br />

Researchers at the University of Illinois, Chicago have found that Wrigley's popular Big Red cinnamon chewing gum kills bacteria in the mouth that causes halitosis, <a href="http://www.verdepointedentalassociates.com/the-topic-no-one-talks-about-bad-breath/" target="_blank">bad breath</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Dental research was presented at an annual meeting, the International Association for Dental Research. Christine Wu, associate dean and professor of periodontics at the UIC College of Dentistry presented research that found a plant essential oil used by Big Red for flavoring, cinnamic aldehyde effective in killing bacteria that causes bad breath. Dr. Wu searches for natural antibacterial agents to suppress decay and periodontal disease.<br />
<br />
Big Red does not just mask the odor of bad breath, the antimicrobial agents temporarily eliminate the bacteria. <br />

Although having aesthetic procedures to look more beautiful is common all over the world, tattooing your gums black is a painful, ancient tradition still practiced by people in Senegal, west Africa. The excruciating procedure is an old custom performed to achieve a more attractive, whiter smile making it easier to lure a mate.<br />
<br />
Although most gum tattoos are performed for appearance, the practice claims to protect gums from bleeding, while eliminating everything damaging to the mouth such as foul breath, and all for less than one euro.<br />
<br />
A black powder mixture of burnt oil and shea butter is initially pressed onto the gums, followed by repeated needle sticks. Some find the procedure too torturous, such as a lady Marieme in the popular YouTube documentary. She quits at the fourth layer, three short of the desired seven.<br />
<br />
She says, “I want black gums to obtain a more beautiful smile. It’s become an obsession. I do fear the procedure. But I’ll be OK.” <br />
<br />
It's apparent the considerable pain Marieme's tries to tolerate. “It hurts. I would never recommend this torture to anyone,” she said.
“It really hurts. I thought I was going to die. But I tried to hang on.”<br />
