Brushing Twice a Day Helps to Keep the Cavities Away

When you brush your teeth properly, at least twice a day, you are
removing the plaque that causes cavities. Plaque is the soft and sticky
substance that accumulates on the teeth from food debris and bacteria.
Flossing daily will remove the plaque from in between the teeth that
the toothbrush cannot reach. Removing plaque from your teeth also helps
to prevent gum disease.

At the edges of teeth where there is no dentin underlying the enamel,
the color sometimes has a slightly blue tone. Since enamel is
semitranslucent, the color of dentin and any restorative dental
material underneath the enamel strongly affects the appearance of a
tooth. Enamel varies in thickness over the surface of the tooth and is
often thickest at the cusp, up to 2.5 mm, and thinnest at its border,
which is seen clinically as the cementoenamel junction (CEJ).

Dental Fears and Phobias

For a lot of people, the fear of going to the dentist is so intense
that they won’t even make an appointment. The end result of this is
usually severe dental problems.

Dental problems do not get better and they do not go away. It
usually takes a severe toothache to get this type of person into a
dental office and by this time, the tooth that is aching so badly will
probably need a root canal and crown to save the tooth.
