5 Tips to Reduce Your Risk of Tooth Decay

5/19/2016

13 Comments

 
At it’s most simplistic level, tooth decay is caused by bacteria in our mouths that eat sugar (or simple carbohydrates) and create acid as a waste product.  If the acid concentration builds up to a level where the pH drops below 5.5, the tooth structure starts to dissolve away causing tooth decay.  Your body’s natural defense, saliva flow, helps wash away sugars, acid, and help neutralize the acid attack.  Most everyone knows about brushing and flossing, but here are five additional tips to help prevent tooth decay:

  1. The amount of time that teeth are exposed to sugar is more of a risk than the total amount of sugar. These bacteria can only convert a certain amount of sugar at a time so even a highly sugary drink finished quickly will convert to less acid than if it is sipped over a long period of time.
  2. Natural sugars (cane sugar, honey, etc) and simple carbohydrates (white bread, crackers, cereal) convert to acid and cause decay just like processed sugar or corn syrup.  The bacteria don’t discriminate on whether the sugar is natural or from Whole Foods.  Enzymes in your saliva convert simple carbohydrates to sugars right in your mouth.
  3. Fluoride exposure to your teeth temporarily increases their resistance to acid.  Fluoride exposure from toothpaste, varnish or gel applied at the dentist, or in drinking water all do this.  Like the sugar exposure, time is more important than the total amount so using a fluoride tooth paste is a great way to prevent tooth decay.
  4. Dry Mouth is a major risk factor for tooth decay.  A reduction in saliva flow is common as we get older, and is also a very common side effect from many prescription medications.  With less saliva, your teeth get less protection.
  5. Most tooth decay is not symptomatic until the decay approaching the nerve at the center of the tooth.  Get regular checkups and x-rays to catch cavities early.  This allows you to benefit from early intervention like small fillings or fluoride treatments instead of more involved treatment like root canals.
If it’s been awhile since you’ve had your teeth checked, make an appointment today to come see us!  Thanks for reading- Justin Sjulson DDS, FAGD

I never knew that The amount of time that teeth are exposed to sugar is more of a risk than the total amount of sugar. I am going to the dentist to prevent any long-term issues. Thanks for the tips on preventing tooth decay.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email [email protected] website: Https://emutemple.wordpress.com/ Https://web.facebook.com/Emu-Temple-104891335203341

LOVE SPELL TESTIMONY

Thank you so much DOCTOR ODUNGA for making my ex boyfriend come back to me. I am writing this wonderful testimony in respect of this man. He made all my wishes come true. My boyfriend and I dated for more than 3 years and although we had had so many quarrels we never thought of a break up. One day, he called me over the phone telling me how he is tired of the relationship and cannot see anywhere that we are heading to. Months passed and my boyfriend did not contact me anymore and I did not hear from him anymore and his cell phone was disconnected. I knew I needed to seek help because of the love I have for him. I contacted this great spell caster because i have never contacted anyone before and i tell you that after a week of contact, my ex boyfriend called me and asked to see me and the next morning, he wore a ring on my finger. I am very happy because I am soon going to be a married girl with the help of this great spell caster. I promised to manifest your works to everyone and please contact this man to help you

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

Contact Dr Ozigidon if you have been trying to conceive, I never thought I'd be writing this message but after 5 years of infertility and nearly lost my marriage due to not being able to have a child after suffering from PCOS and my TUBES ARE TIED, and severe endometriosis and scanning, I was told that IVF was the only option. This was something we could not afford and had almost given up hope of becoming a parent. A friend of mine recommended Dr Ozigidon to me and persuaded me to contact him, I finally contacted him and he made a spiritual breakthrough to get me pregnant with his powerful spell, within 2 weeks I was pregnant (naturally!!!) and my tube was untied as instructed by this powerful sorcerer. Now! I gave birth to healthy twins in February. I am writing this testimony for those women who are facing the same challenges or even more, depressed with no light at the end of the tunnel. Give Dr Ozigidon a try to help you solve your problem, and hopefully you'll have the same success that I have had. His email address ([email protected]) . Call or Whats-App him +2349054750112. I wish you all happiness in your marriages.

BE CAREFUL of crypto platforms promising huge returns. They lure people into fake programs. I lost 198,450 USD last year. While researching on how to recover my funds, I came across several recommendations on the Bitcoin Abuse Forum about HACKERSTEVE. I contacted him via his email and he helped me recover all my funds. If you’ve also been a victim of financial scams, don’t hesitate to get in touch with him.

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn't stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email [email protected]
