Is a silicone toothbrush worth a try? And how does a silicone brush fare in the fight against gingivitis?
Do you ever open your mouth wide and look in a mirror? Staring back at you are the teeth, tongue, gums and maybe your tonsils. Perched above them all is the roof of the mouth, also known as the hard palate.
https://www.colgate.com/en-us/oral-health/basics/mouth-and-teeth-anatomy/all-about-the-hard-palate
If your gums appear to be receding, you might ask yourself, "Do gums grow back?" Here's what to look out for if you're concerned about gum recession and ways you can start on a path to healthier gums.
The mouth is one body part that receives constant attention. Breathing, eating and speaking would be impossible without every part working together. One of those mouth parts, the uvula, might not get as much attention as your teeth or tongue, but it's just as important.
https://www.colgate.com/en-us/oral-health/basics/mouth-and-teeth-anatomy/the-role-of-the-uvula
Dental implants can help restore your smile if you are missing teeth. Implants are made of three parts, and together, these parts make a strong construction that allows you to function as you would with a full set of natural teeth. One of these parts is an abutment, and if you have an implant, you already have this part of the dental implant in your mouth!
Pain is one method the body uses to indicate that something is wrong. You might've pulled a muscle in your back lifting a heavy box or accidentally burned your hand while cooking. If you've ever had a toothache, you know tooth pain is no fun. If you're unable to receive dental attention right away, you can try some tooth pain home remedies.
https://www.colgate.com/en-us/oral-health/life-stages/adult-oral-care/4-tooth-pain-home-remedies-
Technology can make all facets of life easier — including your oral care routine. Today, dentists use devices such as X-rays and electric rotary polishers for preventive care and cleaning. Tooth cleaning technology has made its way into patients' homes, too, with devices like sonic toothbrushes.
Responsible parents always want what is best for their children, even if the kids don't see it that way. That means yearly physicals, regular dental checkups and an orthodontist appointment if you suspect your child needs braces. While you're preparing for the visit, brush up on the best age for braces.
Regular brushing and flossing not only keep your teeth shiny white, but also help you achieve a healthy mouth in the fight against plaque. Some people prefer a manual toothbrush and string floss, while others might opt for alternative flossing devices. A proxy brush can serve as another tool in your oral care toolbox.
If you've never heard of oil pulling, you might be surprised to learn that a variation of the technique uses olive oil to improve mouth health. While you should never replace your routine of brushing and flossing, you might be curious about the alleged benefits of oil pulling with olive oil.
