Insights on Periodontal Disease Prevention

January 19, 2017/in Uncategorized /by Dr. Malcolm Boykin DDS

Periodontal disease afflicts the gums of millions of Americans each year. In fact, the American Dental Association estimates that 47 percent of people over the age of 30 suffer from gingivitis or more significant forms of periodontal disease. The unfortunate reality is that periodontal disease is easily preventable. Brushing your teeth twice each day and flossing each evening removes plaque and residual food particles before they can harden into the bacterial-rich tartar.

While brushing your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush helps clean the faces and contours of teeth, flossing remains the most effective way of cleaning between teeth and along the gumline.

The American Dental Association recommends flossing your teeth once each day. This is best done in the evening after you have eaten your last meal or snack. To thoroughly clean between teeth and along the gumline, it requires special focus and technique. Once you have inserted the floss, you should curve it into a semi-circle. Then, you should work the strand up and down, making sure to also work the floss into the gumline.

You should then advance the floss a fraction of an inch and repeat the same motion for the other tooth. As you clean the space between each tooth, you should also make sure to floss behind each of your rear molars.

Attending your routine dental checkup at [practice_name] is also essential for preventing periodontal disease. This includes a thorough dental cleaning to remove all traces of tartar from your teeth while monitoring the health of your gums.

If you have questions or concerns about how to prevent periodontal disease in Ramona, CA, you can always call [phone] to speak to your dentist, Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS, or a staff member at [practice_name].

A Professional Whitening Treatment Can Safely and Effectively Whiten Your Smile

January 6, 2017/in Uncategorized /by Dr. Malcolm Boykin DDS

When stains set into your smile, it can leave you feeling socially awkward. Unfortunately, the whitening agents in whitening toothpaste and whitening strips are rarely potent enough to remove deep stains from tooth enamel. In a situation like this, a professional whitening treatment administered by your dentist, Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS, can safely and effectively whiten your smile.

The dental bleach Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS uses is very potent. At the start of the dental bleaching treatment, he will take measure to protect your gums by installing a soft rubber dam or protective gel over your gums.

Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS will then pour a small amount of the concentrated bleaching gel into a tray that is inserted into your mouth. It will need to be held in place for a few minutes. The total duration of the treatment will vary depending on the severity of your tooth stains.

Once this stage is completed, Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS might use a special ultraviolet light to brighten any troubled spots and improve the luster of your smile.

Afterward, you might want to consider cutting back on dark foods and beverages to prevent future stains. Brushing your teeth with a whitening toothpaste that has been approved by the American Dental Association could also be beneficial.

If the teeth in your smile have been dulled and darkened by stains, you should call [practice_name] at [phone] to explore your whitening options in Ramona, CA.
