Frequently Asked Questions

By the time your baby is born, 20 'baby' or primary teeth have already begun forming under the gums. The first teeth usually erupt in six months to a year and, unfortunately, tooth decay can begin as soon as eruption starts. 

Here are some guidelines for you to follow:

  • Don’t allow your baby to sleep with a bottle containing anything other than water (not even breast milk.)
  • Don’t dip pacifiers in sugar or honey to make them more attractive (in fact, young children shouldn’t have honey at all!).
  • Begin caring for your child’s teeth before they even erupt! Cleanse the gums after each feeding with a clean, moist gauze pad.
  • Once your child’s first tooth erupts, use a toothbrush made for toddlers and water to gently brush.
  • Schedule an appointment with the dentist for your child before their third birthday. In addition to discussing common concerns like thumb sucking, dentists can counsel you on optimizing your child’s nutrition for healthy dental development.

Women have hormonal changes as they reach puberty; during menstruation, pregnancy, menopause; and from oral contraceptives. Hormonal changes, especially those occurring during the teenage and childbearing years, increase the harmful effect that bacterial dental plaque can have on the gums.

During menopause, increased sensitivity, altered taste sensations ,or a reduction in saliva can occur. A decrease in saliva is associated with increased tooth decay. Regular dental visits, good hygiene, and a balanced diet are essential for women at any stage of life and especially during periods of hormonal changes.

Dental x-rays (digital or conventional) are extremely helpful in detecting diseases of the teeth, surrounding gum tissue, and bone. They can reveal small cavities between the teeth that cannot be seen visually. Infections in the bone, abscesses, cysts, and other abnormalities can be detected with x-rays. However, the new computer-based digital x-rays reveal more diagnostic information than film-based images, at one-tenth the x-ray absorption, with amazing clarity. Our office prefers digital x-rays because of these benefits for our patients

The quick answer is "yes."

The more appropriate answer would be that it depends on the desired results and the situation. This is a common mistake made by both patients and dentists. The smile usually does not show “just four or six teeth.” More often than not, the smile shows anywhere from eight to twelve teeth. Depending on the situation and the outcome desired, this is often the amount of teeth needed to allow such a transformation. This is where additional training and knowledge of “smile design” is so important. Imagine having four or six beautiful teeth and the rest not so beautiful! Prior to any smile enhancement being performed, simply pick up a mirror, smile, and count!
