Common Myths of Gum Disease # 4

Bleeding gums during pregnancy is normal
While it’s true that some women develop a condition known as “pregnancy gingivitis,” it’s not true that everyone experiences this. You can help prevent this condition by taking extra care during your brushing and flossing routine. Your dentist may recommend more frequent cleanings to prevent this.

Common Myths of Gum Disease # 3

Having gum disease means I will lose my teeth
Not so! You don’t have to lose any of your teeth to gum disease if you practice good oral hygiene. That means brushing your teeth twice a day, cleaning between your teeth daily, eating a healthy diet, and scheduling regular dental visits. Even if you are diagnosed with gum disease, your dentist can design a treatment plan to help you keep it under control.

Common Myths of Gum Disease # 2

I don't have cavities so I can't have gum disease
Being cavity-free doesn’t ensure you are in the clear where gum disease is concerned. That’s because gum disease is painless and many people have no idea they have it. Gums that bleed easily or are red, swollen or tender is a sign of gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease and the only stage that is reversible. When caught early gingivitis can usually be eliminated by a professional cleaning at the dental office, followed by daily brushing and flossing.

Common Myths of Gum Disease # 1

Gum disease is not that common
On the contrary, gum disease is extremely common. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, half of adults age 30 and older suffer from some form of gum disease. Gum disease, an infection of the tissues that surround and support your teeth, is caused by plaque, the sticky film of bacteria that is constantly forming on our teeth. Plaque that is not removed with thorough daily brushing and cleaning between teeth can eventually harden into calculus or tartar.

Sleep Apnea Dental Treatment

Do You Find Yourself Falling Asleep on the Job?
Sleep Apnea Dental Treatment Cincinnati OHHave you ever caught yourself falling asleep during the day? Do you snore loudly at night? Perhaps you may be suffering from a condition known as sleep apnea. Your airway does not stay open as it should, resulting in a narrowed passageway for the air to flow in and out of your lungs. Traditional treatment is a CPAP device, which is a mask that fits over the nose and mouth. A small machine pumps air continually through the mask throughout the night. Although it relieves the problem, its bulkiness produces another problem – it is uncomfortable to wear, so many patients stop using it.

If you have tried the CPAP device and are frustrated with it, we have an alternative that is small, light, and easy to put in and take out. This acrylic device goes over your upper and lower teeth. It will reposition your tongue and jaw to keep your airway open for sufficient airflow to and from your lungs. The results have been astounding, with over 90% of those who use it having successful improvement. Give us a call to discuss this latest appliance so you can have a good night’s rest again.
