Keep Your Normal Brushing/Flossing Routine

Many of us are now working from home and spending more time hanging around the house, which can make it easier to fall out of your normal routine. However, just because you’re not on your normal schedule doesn’t mean that you should neglect your oral hygiene routine! Be sure that you’re still brushing your teeth first thing when you wake up. Overnight, no matter how well you brush and floss the night before, our mouths accumulate bacteria. This bacteria is not only a large culprit to bad breath, but it's also harmful to the overall health of our teeth and gums. Getting rid of this...

Everyone knows that sugar is bad for you, especially for your teeth. Too much sugar can lead to tooth decay, and many times we blame the sugar itself. It’s not the sugar that does the damage, but more so the chain of events that happen after you eat that cookie, lollipop, or piece of pie. Instead of having to avoid some of your favorite sweet treats, educating yourself on how sugar actually affects your teeth can be extremely helpful. So, keep reading to learn more!

Your mouth is full of bacteria. It sounds gross, we know, but a lot of that bacteria is beneficial to your mouth. However, there is harmful bacteria, and that bacteria actually feeds on the sugars that you eat in order to create acids that destroy your tooth enamel. Tooth enamel is the protective outer layer of the tooth. Due to that bacteria feasting on your tooth enamel, it can create a cavity. Without proper treatment on that cavity, it can lead to intense amounts of pain and possible tooth loss.

Your teeth are frequently under attack by acids, but that damage is also constantly being reversed. Acids...

When you visit the dentist, your dentist probably asks you if you floss your teeth regularly. You may tell them the truth, or if you’re like the vast majority of the population, you say yes.

In this blog post, we will be discussing the true importance of flossing so that the next time your dentist asks if you floss, you can confidently say yes! Keep reading to learn more!

Floss gets deeper into the tooth than regular brushing does, which is why your dentist tells you to...

Introducing the importance of dental health care to your children at a young age is an investment not only for their teeth but for their entire body. Children with poor dental health are, of course, more likely to have more dental problems, but they’re also more likely to have lower self-image and perform lower than their peers at school. As a parent, it is extremely important to model and help your children establish proper dental care so that their smiles can last a lifetime!

By developing good oral hygiene, your child is automatically more protected from common dental issues like plaque build-up, gum disease, and cavities. Dental decay is the most common form of chronic childhood disease, and when left untreated, it can lead to a multitude of problems such as pain and infection, issues with speaking and eating, and their overall health.

The great thing about common dental issues is that they are all almost completely preventable with regular check-ups and proper dental care at home. It is important that as parents, you help introduce healthy practices of dental...

Even the idea of scheduling a dental appointment can cause anxiety, let alone going into the actual office and sitting in a chair surrounded by dental equipment.

A bright, white smile is something that we all want. But some of the foods that we consume on a daily basis may not be helping us get that pearly white smile. We’re not saying that you have to give up any of these foods (ahem, coffee) but just the simple awareness that these foods can stain your teeth can help you take proper preventative care. At Luxe Dental Spa in Oakhurst, we offer a variety of services that can help give you the perfect smile makeover such as tooth whitening, veneers, porcelain onlays, and dental implants. Our dentists have years of experience and are here to give you your best smile. So let’s take a glance at some of the top foods that can stain your teeth.

Black Coffee

Trust us, we’re also aware of how upsetting this one is but coffee is one of the worst offenders when it comes to staining your teeth. Due to the dark color of coffee and the porous outer layer of the tooth, this dark liquid is easily absorbed. One way to help avoid staining the front layer of your teeth is to drink your coffee with a straw. This might feel funny,...

At Luxe Dental Spa, we specialize in helping people obtain their perfect smile through the use of Invisalign.

Invisalign can correct all the same issues that metal braces can correct without all that unaesthetic metal.
