Childhood Bad Breath

At Bayberry Dental Care, Dr. Kathleen Falsey runs an office that is friendly to children. Like everyone else, children sometimes suffer from bad breath, but a lack of brushing may not be the only reason for this.

When teaching children to brush, it’s important to teach them that their tongues need brushing as much as their teeth. Bacteria find a welcoming environment on the tongue, as well as in the tonsils, and build-up in these areas produces a bad smell. Nasal drip also increases bacteria growth. While adults are probably aware that a sinus infection causes nasal drip, they may not know that a foreign object stuck in the child’s nose can have the same result. Mouth sores can also contribute to bad breath.

Besides infections, dry mouth is another cause of bad breath. Children can easily become dehydrated during play, but dry mouth is also a common side-effect of medications. Some medications for ADHD and anxiety are known to cause bad breath. Children who breathe through their mouths tend to dry out a lot. And, of course, dry mouth itself puts a patient at greater risk for infections.

Acid Reflux and Tooth Sensitivity

We want patients at Bayberry Dental Care to know how to prevent every threat to their oral health. Acid reflux may not be something people primarily associate with toothaches, but it’s actually one of the more common causes of sensitivity.

The hydrochloric acid produced in the stomach is extremely corrosive. A sphincter usually keeps it where it belongs, but when it escapes up the esophagus, a patient is said to suffer from acid reflux or “heartburn,” and when it escapes twice or more in a week, the patient has gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Hydrochloric acid wearing away tooth enamel isn’t just painful; it also damages the teeth’s appearance and puts them at risk for infection. As enamel thins, the greyish-yellowish inner layer of the tooth becomes more visible, and if that decays too, bacteria could enter the tooth’s pulp.

There is no way to regrow enamel, but Dr. Falsey is experienced in several kinds of tooth restorations, including white fillings and artificial crowns following root canals. Patients can reduce their risk of acid reflux by avoiding acidic foods such as citrus juice and tomatoes, as well as fried food, alcohol, caffeine, and chocolate.

Avoiding and Managing Dry Sockets

Though there are many reasons why tooth extractions may be necessary, our biggest concern following them is always a dry socket. At Bayberry Dental Care, we provide our patients with post-operational instructions to help them avoid complications, but accidents can happen, particularly if an extraction required incisions and sutures. Therefore, we want our patients to know how to recognize a dry socket so they can get help.

The extraction of a tooth will leave behind an empty socket through which it may be possible to see the jaw bone, but if all goes well, the socket will quickly clot over with blood. If it doesn’t, the socket will painfully dry out and be at risk of infection. Patients are told not to use birth control because it can prevent clot formation, and following the extraction, they will need to change their normal habits to avoid ripping the clot loose. Sipping through a straw and smoking are the behaviors which most commonly expose sockets.

If there are complications, the socket will probably dry out within two days. Patients should request an emergency appointment so they can be supplied with painkillers and antibiotics. Dr. Falsey will vacuum the socket clean and dress it with medicated gauze or paste. The dressings will have to be changed every few days until the socket closes, but under supervision, it should heal fully.

Cleaning Dentures

The Bayberry Dental Center provides dental care to patients of all ages and is dedicated to providing all clients with information about preventive care appropriate to their needs. Caring for dentures varies from caring for natural teeth in some significant ways, so we want to make sure our patients know how to maintain their oral hygiene.

It is a good idea for patients to keep two sets of soft-bristled toothbrushes: one for their mouths and one for dentures. They will need to remove their dentures on a nightly basis and continue brushing their mouths twice a day while the dentures are out, making sure to get into any support structures which may have been implanted. Brushing the gums before placing dentures back in each morning stimulates blood flow. Patients will also need to brush the entirety of the denture with toothpaste made specifically for dentures because the minerals in ordinary toothpaste are unnecessary and may scratch the dentures’ delicate plastic.

Keeping in mind how fragile dentures are, patients should never keep them in hot water. However, dentures do need to be kept moist at all times and should be allowed to soak in room-temperature water or cleaning solution at night. It is natural and expected that a patient’s mouth will continue to change shape after a denture is fitted, necessitating refittings over the course of their life. Adjustments and repairs should only be made by dental professionals.

Tips for Avoiding Stains While Wearing Braces

While wearing braces, there are a few changes that need to be made to your dental care routine. One of the important but sometimes forgot about reasons is to avoid staining. At Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, we want to remind our patients that good dental care is not just important for healthy teeth. While wearing braces especially, good dental care is important to keep teeth bright and white.

 

Staining while wearing braces can result in uneven staining when the braces come off. Getting your braces off is supposed to be an awesome day! You do not want them taken off only to unveil strange staining marks. Follow this guide to avoid staining while you are wearing braces!

 

Good Dental Hygiene Good dental hygiene is the biggest part of keeping your chompers white. Dental plaque that builds up from food, drinks, and saliva can turn teeth yellow or dark if not removed frequently. That is why it is important to brush multiple times per day. If you brush once in the morning and once at night, consider squeezing in a third brushing in the middle of the day. Brushing after each meal is a good idea to deter stains from sticking around.

 

Extra Supplies Floss threaders and interdental cleaners will help you clean around your brackets and wires. This is especially important to avoid the uneven staining that can be caused by plaque building up around brackets.

 

Dark Foods and Drinks When it comes to dark foods and drinks, they are okay every now and then but try to avoid consuming them frequently. Examples of these foods are tomatoes, cola, coffee, and blueberries. Rinse your mouth out after consuming dark foods and liquids to help avoid staining. In addition, sip dark drinks through a straw to minimize contact with your teeth.

 

Protect your smile so that when the braces come off, you have a beautiful and straight smile!

Ways to Make Sure You Brush Long Enough

In the constant hustle and bustle of life, brushing your teeth can become quick and thoughtless. Unfortunately, this can lead to missed spots or not enough brushing. At Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, we want our patients to know that two minutes are usually needed for an adequate brushing. Take some of our tips for ensuring you are brushing for long enough!

In order to hit all of the areas in your mouth effectively, you should be spending about two minutes brushing. You will want to brush the chewing surfaces of your teeth, the fronts, the insides, the backs of the back molars, along with your tongue, inner cheeks, and the roof of your mouth. One simple way of keeping track of time is by splitting your teeth into four sections. Brush each section for thirty seconds and then be sure to remember the rest of your mouth!

Music players and phones often have timers or countdowns on them so this makes it easy to make sure you are spending two minutes. Plus, if you use a music player, you can jam out to your favorite tune. It can make for a pretty great morning ritual!

Another way of making sure you are spending enough time is so simple it is right in your toothbrush. There are many electric toothbrushes that come with built-in timers that beep or pause buzzing after two minutes.

Spend enough time brushing your teeth and see results when your dentist tells gives you a clean bill of health! To schedule your next cleaning at Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, call us at (708) 802-8300 or visit our website, www.bayberrydentalcare.com. 

Oral Care with Arthritis and Other Hand Difficulties

Arthritis and other conditions that make hands difficult to use can have an unfortunate effect on oral health. It isn’t commonly thought of unless you are actually going through it. At Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, we want all of our patients to be able to take care of their teeth. Take some of these tips!

Brushing your teeth can be difficult with stiff and painful hands. Make it easier on yourself by purchasing a toothbrush with a non-slip grip and a thick handle. This, along with a small toothbrush head will make maneuvering the toothbrush around your mouth a bit easier. Electric toothbrushes are even better for patients with hand trouble, as they do most of the work. They just need to be held in the right positions.

Next, you want to be sure you are still flossing. Cavities are actually more likely to form between your teeth than anywhere else in the mouth. Floss picks are available that do not involve holding on to thin string. However, if you prefer classic dental floss, make sure you are using a piece about eighteen inches long. Wrap the excess around your fingers and hands to make the floss nice and taught. Rotate the floss as you go. It may help to tie the floss into a loop.

One last thing has to do with your toothpaste. It can be hard to unscrew the cap with stiff hands, especially when it gets sticky from toothpaste. Instead, look for a toothpaste that has a flip cap. These are much easier to open and close.

Hand conditions like arthritis may make oral care more difficult, but with some minor tweaks, you can make things go more smoothly. Also, be sure to schedule your routine cleaning and examinations here at Bayberry Dental Care. To schedule in our Tinley Park, IL office call us at (708) 802-8300. We can also be contacted through our website, www.bayberrydentalcare.com. 

Help Nervous Kids Relax at the Dental Office

Some kids love going to the dentist and some are fearful of it. For those kids who fear dental appointments, parents often wonder how to make their child feel more at ease. At Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, we want all of our patients to feel comfortable; patients both big and small. Take some of our tips for easing dental anxiety in kids.

Pretend Dental Visits

By pretending to be the “dentist” at home, your child will feel more comfortable in our office. Try having them lean back in a chair or on a couch while you count their teeth. This will help them know what to expect while in the real dental chair.

 

Start Them Young

Not only does starting kids’ dental visits young help them feel more comfortable in our office, it is actually necessary! Kids should start seeing the dentist as soon as they grow in their first tooth or by the age of one. The younger they start, the more familiar they will feel with the appointments.

 

Reward Good Behavior

Giving your child praise or a reward after good behavior at a dental appointment is a good way to reinforce positive feelings. Take them to a park, let them pick a movie to see, or make their favorite dinner afterward. Be sure to offer the reward after the dental appointment, because you do not want to offer it before, making them feel like there is something to be afraid of. The next time they go to the dentist, they will associate a good appointment with your praise.

 

Kids may feel nervous about dental appointments, but there are ways to help them relax. To schedule your family’s appointments at Bayberry Dental Care here in Tinley Park, IL, call our office at (708) 802-8300. More information about us can be found on our website, www.bayberrydentalcare.com. 

Adds These Foods to Your Menu for Healthy Teeth and Gums!

While you often hear that you need to brush your teeth after eating because leaving the food there can lead to decay, there are actually some foods that benefit your oral health. At Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, we want our patients to have well-rounded oral health. Keep reading to learn about some of the foods that benefit your gums and teeth.

There are actually foods that help to clean your teeth, like crunchy, fibrous fruits and veggies. These foods scrape against your teeth and remove plaque! If you can’t reach for a toothbrush after lunch, reach for some cucumbers or cut up an apple!

Calcium helps build strong teeth. Milk and yogurt are great sources of calcium along with broccoli and spinach. In addition, milk and cheese lowers the levels of acid in your mouth, further protecting teeth and gums.

Citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits are great for your gums. They strengthen the blood vessels and connective tissues that connect your teeth to your jaw. They also reduce inflammation. Just be careful, acidic foods should be eaten in moderation. The acid can actually harm your teeth by wearing down enamel if eaten too often.

Foods that contain polyphenols like cranberries and tea prevent plaque from growing and sticking to teeth. Less plaque means less risk for cavities, less bad breath, less risk of staining, and more!

Add these foods into your balanced nutrition for added oral health! To schedule a cleaning and examination with Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, call us at (708) 802-8300. More information about us can be found on our website, www.bayberrydentalcare.com. 

Choosing the Right Toothbrush for You

Walking down the toothbrush aisle can bring up a few questions. There are so many different kinds; it can be difficult to know what is right for you. At Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, we want to be sure our patients are able to choose the right toothbrush for them so they are getting the best cleaning.

The first difference many notice about toothbrushes is that some of them are electric. Patients want to know which is better, electric or manual. Studies are showing that manual toothbrushes do the same job cleaning the mouth as the electric ones. The only difference may be for those who cannot use their hands as well, like patients with arthritis. In this case, since the electric toothbrush does most of the work, it may make it easier to do a good job.

A small head is recommended for reaching those hard-to-reach areas in the mouth. You want to make sure you can reach your back molars and a small head makes it easier to brush all sides of them. As far as bristles go, softer bristles are best for removing plaque. Bristles that are too stiff can irritate gums and hurt enamel.

If you are unsure which type of toothbrush is best for you, do not hesitate to ask. To schedule an appointment with Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, call our office at (708) 802-8300 or visit our website, www.bayberrydentalcare.com. 

How to Keep Your Smile White

It can seem difficult to keep your teeth nice and white; however, with a few tips and tricks, it’s actually pretty easy. At Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, we offer professional teeth whitening to give you a head start. In addition, take some of our tips for avoiding staining.

Dark foods and drinks like blueberries, coffee, wine, and soy sauce are common stain culprits. Avoid these dark foods and drinks as much as possible to keep a white smile. We do know that it is not always possible to avoid a consuming something dark, though. So after you eat a dark food or drink something like coffee, be sure to rinse your mouth out with water afterward. It is safe to brush your teeth thirty minutes after eating or drinking. You can also try sipping dark drinks through a straw to avoid contact.

Along with avoiding stain-causers, you will want to keep good oral hygiene. Plaque can cause yellowing, darkening of teeth, and it can trap in stain-causers close to your enamel. To remove plaque, brush two or three times per day and floss once per day.

To learn more about our professional teeth whitening, be sure to contact us. To schedule an appointment with Bayberry Dental Care in our Tinley Park, IL office, call us at (708) 802-8300 or visit our website, www.bayberrydentalcare.com. 

Dental Care with Braces

While wearing braces, you want to ensure you are keeping a clean mouth so you are not increasing the risk of cavities and uneven staining. At Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, we want all of our patients to understand how to keep great oral health. Keep reading for some tips on how to brush and floss while wearing braces.

When brushing, you need to hit all sides of your teeth as you normally would. When it comes to brushing the surfaces where the brackets are wires are attached, you will need a special brushing technique. Brush along the tops and bottoms of all the brackets. Then, take an interdental cleaning brush and brush both sides of each bracket. Look to be sure that there is no leftover plaque on the sides of the brackets.

To floss, using a threader will help you get underneath the wires easier and quicker. Floss threaders or floss with threaders attached at often found where dental supplies are sold.

Keeping a good at-home hygiene routine and coming in for your professional dental cleanings will ensure a healthy mouth after the braces come off.

Post-Extraction Home Care

Keeping your mouth clean after an extraction is vital to a healthy and quick healing process. At Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, we want our patients to be prepared after an extraction. Keep reading to learn about how to take care of your mouth after a tooth is extracted.

The first thing to think about after a tooth has been pulled is getting the bleeding under control. Most likely, you will have gauze in your mouth after the extraction. Keep it in your mouth and change it according to the directions provided by your dentist. In addition, keep away from activities that could promote bleeding like chewing hard food, drinking through a straw, or laying down completely flat. (Prop your head up with an extra pillow for the first night). Eat soft foods for the first day afterwards and bring in harder foods as healing progresses.

Keeping a clean mouth should also be a top priority to avoid infection. Brush your teeth twice per day and floss once, but be careful around the extraction site until healing is complete. Do not rinse your mouth vigorously, as this could promote more bleeding.

For more information on how to take care of your mouth after an extraction, visit our website, www.bayberrydentalcare.com. To set up an appointment with Bayberry Dental Care, call our Tinley Park, IL office at (708) 802-8300. 

Tooth Sensitivity and What it Could Mean

Sensitive teeth can really cause some uncomfortable brushing and even eating. Summer is coming up and many of us want to enjoy refreshing drinks and frozen treats. If tooth sensitivity is bothering you, read on to find out why it could be happening. In addition, schedule an appointment with us at Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL so we can make sure you do not have a cavity or an infection.

When a tooth does not have a cavity or an infection, sensitivity is often caused by worn down enamel. Worn down enamel exposes the dentin (the center) of the tooth. The dentin contains tiny tubes that lead to the center of the tooth where all the nerves are, so when these nerves are exposed, you can feel them.

To avoid wearing down your enamel, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, plaque comes off your teeth with a light touch, so do not brush very hard. Second, if you grind or clench your teeth, you may want to consider wearing a night guard. We can create a custom night guard for you.

In addition to brushing too hard, you can also be brushing too soon. The acid in our foods softens our enamel, so you should wait at least thirty minutes after eating or drinking anything but water to brush. Also, try to keep unnecessary acidic foods to a minimum and rinse after eating them.

If you have sensitive teeth, you may just need to change some habits. In other cases, it could be a sign of decay. To schedule an examination at Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, call our office at (708) 802-8300 or visit our website, www.bayberrydentalcare.com. 

Fight Bad Breath

Bad breath is embarrassing and it can it be frustrating to deal with if it’s a frequent problem for you. Here at Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, we want to offer our patients advice on how to get rid of bad breath and how to keep it away.

Bad breath is caused by bacteria. In order to fight the odor, you need to fight the bacteria. This is one of the reasons why it is so important to brush and floss. In addition, brush your tongue, inner cheeks, and the roof of your mouth. Replace your toothbrush every two or three months to ensure you are not introducing more bacteria into your mouth.

Bacteria also thrive in dry mouth conditions, so be sure to stay hydrated. Drink your daily recommended amount of water and avoid alcoholic drinks and caffeinated drinks, as these dry out your mouth. If you need the caffeine for an energy boost, try green tea. The properties of green tea actually fight odor-causing bacteria, so it keeps you hydrated and fights bad breath. Also, if you use a mouthwash, look for one that does not have alcohol in it.

If you have a dry mouth or bad breath in a pinch, chew mint leaves, parsley, or lemon rinds. The greens neutralize odors and the citrus in lemons stimulates saliva.

Fighting bad breath is not only good news for any close encounters, but eliminating bacteria also creates healthier teeth and gums.

Oral Care for Kids

Baby teeth are vital to a child for reasons that range from development to speech. It is important to take care of them from when they first appear until they fall out. Bayberry Dental Care of Tinley Park, IL wants to give parents a dental care timeline and give reminders on how to take care of their child’s oral health.

Kids should start seeing the dentist as soon as their first tooth appears. They should be seen by the age of one if they have not grown in their first tooth by then. Baby teeth are what create the spots for permanent teeth, so it is important to keep them healthy while they are around. Baby teeth should be brushed with a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride toothpaste is especially important during the cavity-prone years between the ages of six and fourteen. During this time, dental sealants may be a big help, as well.  

When it comes to flossing it should be done as soon as two teeth touch. Cavities are actually more likely to occur between teeth, so this is an important step to remember. You will also be setting up your child for a great flossing routine of their own when they are old enough.  

To schedule your child’s routine cleaning and examination at Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, call our office at (708) 802-8300. More information can be found on our website, www.bayberrydentalcare.com. 

Getting Kids to Brush and Floss

Getting kids to brush and floss their teeth can be a hassle. It helps when they know just why they are doing it, though, and getting them to take an interest in their health can lead to a lifelong trend. Take some tips from Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL to get your kids brushing!

Like previously mentioned, kids are more likely to take an interest in their oral health if they know why they need to do it. Try finding books or videos that explain why brushing and flossing are important. Your local library or perhaps an Internet search should help you out.

In addition, choose kid-friendly dental equipment, or better yet, let your kids pick out their own. There are many toothbrushes with cartoon characters and even ones that play music. There is also toothpaste and floss that are flavored with fun flavors like fruit or bubblegum.

To motivate your child to brush and floss regularly, you may want to create a chore chart. If they brush twice per day and floss once, they get a star for that day. After so many stars, they get a reward! These can be simple rewards like cooking their favorite dinner or heading to the park.

Kids don’t always want to get brushing but with a little help, they will make it part of their daily routines. To schedule your child’s cleaning and examination with Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, call our office at (708) 802-8300.

Rotary Endodontics for More Gentle and Quick Root Canals

In the past, root canals had the reputation of being painful. This made patients nervous and want to avoid seeing the dentist. These days, Bayberry Dental Care is excited to share that root canals are no more uncomfortable than having a cavity filled. In our Tinley Park, IL dental practice, we use equipment that helps us provide quicker and gentler root canals.

To understand why this technology helps, it may be helpful to first know how a root canal is performed. We first make an access hole in your tooth to access the center of the tooth. We use a dental drill to drill into the center and remove the infected pulp. We then fill the tooth with a sealant and seal the access hole. In the past, the files used were made of steel and the drilling was performed manually. These days, we use nickel titanium alloy files that are much more flexible. This means that they will not stretch the root canal or cause damage; which decreases pain during and after the procedure. In addition, we use dental drills with these files, so the process is much gentler, quieter, and quicker.

If you are nervous about receiving treatment for an infected tooth, do not wait any longer. Rotary endodontics have provided us with a more gentle and quick way to perform root canals. To schedule your appointment with Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, call us at (708) 802-8300. To learn more about us, visit our website, www.bayberrydentalcare.com. 

The Advantages of Digital X-Rays

A dental practice with advanced technology is one that is able to keep up with modern day demands and one that can provide their patients with the best, most accurate care. One of the ways we have updated our technology is by utilizing digital x-ray. At Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, we are able to give our patients top notch dental care because we implement top notch technology.

Digital x-ray is a way of taken x-ray images digitally instead of with past equipment that needed a dark room. This means faster appointments and more accurate diagnoses. This updated x-ray system is also safer to use for us and our patients. It uses much less radiation than previous systems.

The digital x-ray system instantly displays the x-rays on one of our monitors; no more waiting for the pictures to develop. We can then use advanced computer software to look at areas up close and even detect changes the human eye may have missed. More accurate diagnoses lead to more accurate treatment plans and better patient outcomes.

To learn more about the technology we use here in our Tinley Park, IL dental practice, contact Bayberry Dental Care by calling (708) 802-8300 or by visiting our website, www.bayberrydentalcare.com. 

Occlusal Adjustments for Misaligned Bites

Uneven jaws can cause problems with chewing and pain in the teeth and jaw. In addition, teeth can become more prone to being injured. Here at Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, we perform occlusal adjustments so that our patients have the perfect bite!

When teeth are misaligned, the top and the bottom jaw do not meet up as they should. This can increase the risk of injury, cause unnatural wear-down of teeth, and cause pain. Fortunately, with our advanced technology, we can detect even very tiny errors in bites and correct them accurately.

Our computer technology scans the patient’s mouth and detects any abnormalities. We then attach a very fine filling stone to a dental drill and gently make adjustments to the teeth. Our system is very accurate, so we can make these tiny adjustments without overdoing it.

The end result is a jaw that feels even. The patient should be able to close their teeth without their jaw feeling lopsided. They will be able to chew food correctly and any pain associated with the misalignment will subside. In addition, their teeth are no longer being worn down in unnatural areas.

If you feel your bite is misaligned, schedule an appointment with us for an occlusal adjustment. To schedule at Bayberry Dental Care in Tinley Park, IL, call our office at (708) 802-8300. For more information, visit our website, www.bayberrydentalcare.com.
