Brushing your teeth twice a day not only keeps your breath sweet, but also helps rid the mouth of bacteria that makes up plaque and can lead to oral infections. To brush properly, point bristles at a 45-degree angle against the gums. Use gentle back-and-forth strokes all over your teeth -- in front, in back, and on chewing surfaces -- for two minutes. If holding a toothbrush is hard for you, try an electric toothbrush. Also brush your gums and tongue. The above article is from: WebMD.com

Sticky plaque -- food, saliva, and bacteria -- starts to form on your teeth after you eat, releasing acids that attack tooth enamel. Untreated plaque turns into tartar, which builds under gum lines and is hard to remove with flossing. The longer it stays on your teeth, the more harmful it is. Bacteria in plaque causes inflammation and leads to gum disease. Having high blood sugar often makes gum disease worse.

The tooth is saved by removing the interior pulp chamber and filling it with a specific material. Sometimes a crown is placed over the tooth for additional strength. The tooth will be fully functional again after treatment. Delano Dental Mark Madden, DDS Timothy Roth, DDS 707 Elm Avenue East Delano, MN 55328 (763) 237-3703 DelanoDental.com
Metal-Free Fillings The silver-mercury filling has been the standard material used by dental practices for many years, but they aren’t the most effective restoration. Composite resin fillings strengthen tooth structure and are made to match the shade of the tooth. Many patients don’t like a dark filling that’s very noticeable and unattractive when smiling or speaking. Metal fillings also do not bond well to a natural tooth structure, increasing the risk of decay setting in around or under the filling. Composite fillings add to the attractiveness of your smile while helping to prevent the onset of cavity development.
People with diabetes are prone to oral infections. You should get dental checkups at least twice a year. Let your dentist know you have diabetes and what medicines you take. Regular checkups and professional cleanings can help keep a mouth healthy. And a dentist can teach you the best ways to care for your teeth and gums at home. The above article is from: WebMD.com
