Why do I need a dental exam ?

Why do I need an dental exam?  What many people don’t understand is that when you schedule a dental appointment to address a specific concern in your mouth or with your teeth it is necessary for the dentist to examine and diagnose the problem you are presenting with. Once diagnosed, the dentist will present you with the treatment options for your specific concern. .

When you call or come into Maple Mews Dental with a dental concern including a tooth ache, broken tooth or lost fill, loose tooth, gums bleeding or any other concern about a certain area of your teeth or mouth you will have a specific examination or emergency examination.   Both types of exams include diagnosis and treatment recommendations.   Xrays may be necessary to assist with accurate diagnosis of the dental concern presented.

An exam called a recall or recare examination is completed by Dr Rzepka or Dr Parker when you are scheduled with the dental hygienist.  At this visit, the time spent with the dentist is a short visit during the dental hygiene appointment.  Although the dental hygienist is checking your teeth, gums and oral health during the entire visit, the dentist  is the only dental team member that can actually diagnose a dental problem such a tooth decay, infection and gum disease, thus the importance of the examination .

Dental examinations can diagnose or catch problems while they are small, most dental problems begin before you can see or feel them. Early diagnosis and treatment is often easy and inexpensive.  Treatment left undetected that can become extensive and expensive.

Dental examinations can include early detection of:

• Tooth decay
• Damaged teeth
• Condition of your gums , such as periodontal disease – risk of loss of teeth
• Diagnosis of infection of teeth or gums
• Early signs of mouth or throat cancer
• Growths, cysts or other oral tissue disorders

A dental examination , may save a tooth ,may save you from extensive and or expensive treatment, and may save your life with early detection of cancer !   So … YES Dental Examinations are a very important part of your dental visit and are necessary when you present to the office with a dental or oral health care concern!

Smile ….Halloween is near!

Halloween, like other holidays, is a time that we like to indulge in extra candy and sweets! Tooth decay occurs when the bacteria in dental plaque produces acids: when this bacterial acid remains on the teeth for long periods of time .. “ the sugar bugs” as we often call them can damage the tooth enamel and lead to damage to the tooth or a cavity. Thus, the more snacking we do or allow or children to do, the more prone we are to cavities and to damaging our teeth .

At Maple Mews Dental we suggest :

• Choose snacks wisely — all the time not just at Halloween
• Remember that sticky snacks are usually not a good choice for your teeth
• Eat sugary snacks and drinks at one time … instead of snacking continually
• At Halloween choose to keep only a few items and donate the rest
• Immediately after indulging on the few treats , rinse with water, brush and floss
• Replace the sticky sweet snacks with better ones for your overall health and oral health. Choose snacks like yogurt, vegetables and dip, chocolate milk or cheese!
• Brush 3 times a day for 2 minutes
• Parents help your children with brushing and flossing
• Visit your dental regularly

At Maple Mews Dental we LOVE Halloween too! We love your smile and want to help you to make the best choices to keep you smiling! If you have any questions about good snacks to keep a healthy smile , contact us today or talk to us at your next dental visit!

Happy Halloween from the Maple Mews Dental Team!

Rethink your Drink!

Have you just been to the dentist , have cavities and wonder why?  At Maple Mews Dental, it is a priority for us to partner with you , for optimal Oral Health and overall health.   Being thorough is so important to our entire team, your smile is important to you , so it’s important to us too!

Sugary and Acidic drinks are often the cause of tooth decay and acid wear erosion of the teeth.  Do you really know how much sugar you drink each day ?  Did you ever consider that your Tim’s Double Double or your energy drinks have a lot ( way too much) sugar?  Do you read the label on your drinks ?  Have you ever calculated how many teaspoons of sugar it would actually be ? YIKES … is what we say to the this … many drinks have just way too much sugar and are causing way too much damage to too many smiles!

There are a lot of drinks that contain LOTS of sugar !   Some drinks like sodas are meant to be rare treats , they are very acidic and can do a lot of damage to your teeth ! Our team , will discuss your diet with you, it is important that you have all the information you can to make the best choices for you !

Our team at Maple Mews Dental loves this chart!   Check out the Red light/ Green Light for some great guidelines and Rethink your Drink!

It is so important to do all we can to work together to educate you, our patients that are students and parents so that the right choices can be made for a healthy smile and healthy you!

Some great snacks for school lunches are:
