Choose wisely when picking a dentist to rebuild your mouth

October 12, 2009

If you’re thinking of having major dental work, do your homework and ask questions. How many of these cases has your dentist completed? Do they have before and after photos of their cases? How do they plan for your case? At Stovall & Cheng, DDS, we start your case with a complete assessment that includes digital photos, molds of your teeth, measurements, exam and consultation. We have photos of our cases and can usually find one that looks a lot like your current situation. From your assessment appointment, we perform a “mock preparation” in which we prepare (with our handpiece) on models of your teeth and then do a “wax-up” on your models so we know what your case...

Cavity-Prone? Add in an extra brush!

July 17, 2009

If you would classify yourself as “cavity-prone”, here’s some advice on how you can do your part in cavity-prevention: 1) Brush your teeth 3 times a day. Most people brush their teeth in the morning, have breakfast, lunch, dinner and then brush their teeth before they go to bed. Think about it, that’s 8+ hours that food, plaque & tartar are sitting on and around your teeth! So, take an extra toothbrush (you know, the ones your dentist gives you every 6 months) to work and brush right after lunch. That’ll cut that time in half and give you better breath throughout the day, too. 2) Cut down on your sugar intake. It’s OK to have...

Bad Taste In Your Mouth?

June 30, 2009

If you constantly have a bad taste in your mouth, it could be a sign of an underlying problem somewhere in your mouth. Bacteria are the major cause of bad breath and bad tastes in the mouth. The question is: Where is the bacteria hiding where you may not be able to get to it? It could be a new cavity or a suspicious area around a filling or crown. Another possibility is that food is getting caught in an area which is not being brushed or flossed properly. Therefore, the first step should always be to brush at least twice a day and to floss daily. If the taste is still present after improving oral hygiene,...
