Does Kissing Cause Gum Disease?
There is some research that shows that couples share each other’s bacteria. However, common sense dictates that everyone should keep up with their oral hygiene and get teeth cleanings every 3-6 months.
What causes teeth to stain and turn yellow?
Stains happen when dark foods (such as beets and berries) and beverages (think colas and tea) or substances in cigarette smoke adhere to plaque or tartar on the tooth’s surface or penetrate into porous enamel.On top of that, tooth enamel thins with age, exposing the yellowish dentin underneath.
I had a cavity filled two weeks ago and it’s still sensitive to heat and cold. How long will this last?
It is not unusual to have sensitivity after a deep filling. It could last 8-12 weeks. The most important thing to know is, if there is a change for the worse, you may have an irreversibly damaged nerve that can get infected. This would require root canal therapy to save the tooth. I would carefully monitor your symptoms and get in touch with the dentist if something changes.
Are hard candies or sticky ones, bad for your teeth?
Candy and taffy are bad for several reasons. The hardness and stickiness can break teeth, loosen fillings, and yank out crowns. The sugar content allows bacteria to proliferate and create cavities. And most importantly, candy creates an acidic environment in the saliva, which becomes a breeding ground for deep decay.
