No More Chronic Bad Breath

Chronic bad breath has plagued people all over the world, but it doesn’t have to be chronic if you practice good oral hygiene.

According to Dr. George Dental, oral hygiene is the number one reason people suffer from chronic bad breath and sadly it can lead to other problems including lost teeth.

Chronic Bad Breath and Gum Disease

Periodontitis, the more serious form of gum disease, causes all sorts of health problems and complications, and yes, chronic bad breath.

Some of these include diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Dementia and pregnancy issues are also linked to gum disease.

An infection of the tissues that support your teeth, gingivitis and periodontal disease are caused by plaque buildup.

Plaque is caused from food particles and bacteria and is that sticky film that is left on your teeth if you don’t brush. You’ll also wake up with plaque in the morning which is why brushing when you get up is vital.

For some gum disease is the body’s reaction to bacteria and too much inflammation. For others, gum disease is the result of poor oral hygiene.

The plaque in your gums also travels to other parts of the body through your bloodstream leading some to believe this is the cause of heart disease and stroke.

Problems Caused from Gum Disease Include:

  • Heart Attack and Heart Disease
  • Stroke
  • Diabetes
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis

Preventing Bad Breath and Periodontitis

You can improve your overall health by taking care of your oral health with good habits that you practice for life.

Dr. George Sanchez explains that brushing twice; flossing once a day along with regular dental checkups and a healthy diet will greatly reduce your chance of gingivitis and the more serious periodontal disease. You’ll also have less change of chronic bad breath.

Start your day by brushing for two minutes with a pea sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Follow brushing with flossing with dental floss or an interdental brush. Complete your daily habits with an antibacterial mouth rinse to fight daily bacteria.

Regular dental checkups are the most important part of good oral hygiene. Firstly, they help prevent problems from getting more serious. Secondly, regular dental checkups can help prevent more serious issues such as oral cancer.

Oral Cancer Screening

An oral cancer screening in Delray Beach helps prevent oral cancer. In fact, early detection has helped millions of people live cancer free lives just because they had regular dental checkups.

Scheduling comprehensive dental checkups with regular oral cancer screenings help you live a healthier life free from chronic bad breath as well.

If you haven’t seen the dentist and suffer from chronic bad breath, call or send a text and schedule an appointment with Dr. George Dental in Delray Beach today.

Dental Implants the Real Deal

If you are tired of feeling that space at the back of your mouth or looking at the gap in the front of your smile call and talk to your Delray Beach dentist about dental implants.

The most remarkable missing tooth replacement has only gotten better with age and is the perfect solution for nearly everyone.

Dental Implants in Delray Beach

Dental Implants are the best replacement for missing teeth. Dr. George Dental in Delray Beach has the experience and knowledge to recommend the best type of dental implant for your needs.

For example, if you are only missing one tooth, a single dental implant is the logical choice if you are searching for a permanent replacement.

On the other hand, if you have multiple missing teeth and want to remove the additional teeth permanent dentures or all on fours could be the answer.

Not having teeth to chew your food is not only a nuisance but also damaging to your health. Dr. George Sanchez explains that not being able to eat properly affects nutrition. Furthermore, it can cause serious issues with vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

The only way to avoid the problems that come with missing teeth is to replace them.

Missing Tooth Replacements

While dentures, partial dentures and bridges replace missing teeth, none is as good as dental implants. Because dental implants attach themselves to the jawbone they act as tooth roots.

While it may seem impossible it is a phenomenon known as osseointegration. This process can never happen with dental bridges or dentures.

With dentures and bridges you will continue to lose bone. This is what makes the face sink in aging someone by at least 10 years.

Dental Implants Make You Younger

While dental implants don’t technically make you any younger they will make you look and feel younger.

For that reason this type of tooth replacement is by far superior to anything else you will find from your local dentist.

Dr. George and his team in Delray Beach will be able to determine if you and your mouth are a good fit. While most people qualify and will live with them for life others may face implant rejection.

Implant rejection can happen if you smoke or suffer from certain types of systemic diseases. Only your dentist will be able to determine if you and implants are fit for life.

Dr. George Metal Free Dentistry Delray Beach

Dr. George Dental in Delray Beach believes in proactive dentistry. He also believes in metal free dentistry.

As an advocate for metal free dentistry Dr. George has helped hundreds of people like you get healthy with non-metal dental restorations.

No More Silver with Metal Free Dentistry

Being metal free means removing and replacing your restorations. That means old silver amalgam fillings and dental crowns.

With metal free dentistry you aren’t going to feel the metal allergies that you have been prone to your entire life. You won’t be subjected to mercury poisoning either.

If you follow this dental blog, and you should, you will know that silver amalgam fillings contain mercury. You will also recall that mercury is toxic, especially when released into the bloodstream.

When the FDA and the AMA say that silver amalgam fillings are safe they are talking about fillings that are fully intact. They aren’t talking about old fillings that are cracked and broken. Cracked, broken and leaky fillings mean mercury is getting into your bloodstream.

The best way to prevent toxic mercury from entering your bloodstream is to schedule an appointment for old silver amalgam filling removal and replacement.

Old Silver Amalgams and Metal Free Dentistry

When you first visit with Dr. George and his team your mouth will be examined to check for damage to your restorations. Your Delray Beach dentist will check for leaks as well.

When fillings get old, or even before, they have a tendency to expand and contract when there is a change in temperature. This causes them to leak. Leaky fillings are even more reason for replacement.

Replacing and Restoring Silver Amalgam Fillings

If you have old silver amalgam fillings, Dr. George and his team will remove them in a safe environment before refilling with a biocompatible material that is matched to the rest of the tooth.

In some cases you may need to crown the tooth because the filling was large and because it caused additional damage.

If this is the case, your Delray Beach dentist will cap the tooth colored filling with a crown that looks just like the tooth. This will protect it from further damage.

Metal Free Dentistry for Good Health

Have a chat with Dr. George Sanchez and the rest of the team in Delray Beach. The two of you can discuss a timeline to get you healthy with metal free dentistry.

Call or send a text today.

Professional Teeth Whitening is Safer

If you have been thinking about restoring your smile send a direct message to Dr. George Dental for a Kör professional teeth whitening consultation.

Dr. George Sanchez is a cosmetic dentist in Delray Beach who has the experience and continued education to change your smile. However, not everyone needs a complete smile makeover.

For some all that is needed is professional teeth whitening using Kör Whitening products.

Professional Teeth Whitening and Kör

Kör is the dentist’s choice and gives much better results than over the counter rinses, strips, pastes and gels. It is also much safer than the products you find at your local pharmacy.

Dr. George Sanchez uses Kör professional teeth whitening because it is safe and gives great results. Each tray is custom made to fit your teeth giving you a secure fit.

Sadly those over the counter trays are one size fits all. One size fits all is not good when it comes to teeth bleaching. Firstly, they aren’t made to fit your teeth. Secondly, they will leak causing gum sensitivity or even damage.

Kör is proven to be safe for teeth and gums and can lighten your teeth up to 10 shades. If you have yellow or brown teeth or teeth that are stained from coffee, tea or red wine, you’ll love the results.

Delray Beach Professional Teeth Whitening

Whitening your teeth has never been easier. All you have to do is schedule an appointment with Dr. George Dental.

Dr. George Dental will examine your teeth and gums. In addition the team will take x-rays and impressions so that your new Kör whitening trays fit perfectly.

When your new Kör trays are ready Dr. George will explain how to use them and prescribe the patented Kör gel to use with your custom made trays.

You will wear your new custom made whitening trays every night or as per your Delray Beach dentist’s instructions.

You can expect a beautiful white and bright smile in about 14 days. In addition don’t be surprised if those nasty intrinsic stains that you have from too much fluoride use disappear as well.

Kör is an amazing product that works on just about everything except dental restorations.

If you have fillings, veneers, crowns or dental implants professional teeth whitening will not work. This is because Kör only works on natural teeth.

Professional teeth whitening can dramatically change your smile. Call or send a direct message and schedule an appointment with Dr. George Dental today.
