What Foods Should Patients Near Dukinfield Avoid?
The food we eat directly impacts our health. Many do not consider their oral health while choosing the food they eat, simply because in most cases the effects are not immediate. However, it is important to know that while many dental conditions take time to show up; they can continue to develop in the background and can cause major issues in future. Following are some foods that you can avoid to maintain your healthy teeth.
Sticky Fruits
Not all fruits are helpful for the teeth and there are many dried fruits like raisins that are very sugary and gummy. The sugar from such foods will cling to the teeth and will damage the teeth.
High Acid Fruits
Fruits like lemon are also not good for the teeth, since they are very acidic. The acid in the lemon can erode the enamel on the teeth, which can become very painful after continues consumption. Orange juice and tomatoes also have similar effect. Brushing the teeth after consuming such them is very important.
Soft Drinks or Soda
When it comes to sodas, sugar is not the main reason for the negative impact on the teeth. These drinks whether diet or regular – strip the minerals form the enamel on the tooth due the high levels of acid in them. The acids in sodas like tartaric, citric, malic and phosphoric are very corrosive. The flavor of the soda also matter here, since lemon or lime soda can wreck havoc on the teeth.
Hard and gummy candy
Candies are generally not good for the teeth. This is because they are full of sugar. Too much consumption of sugar can easily cause cavities or tooth decay. While gummy candies tend to stick onto the teeth, hard candies stay in the mouth for long, causing the teeth to stay in contact with the sugary substance for long.

How to Prevent Dental Decay with a Good Daily Oral Hygiene Routine for Patients near Dukinfield
Dental decay, or as it’s more commonly known as, tooth decay, occurs when the bacterium that is already present in your mouth mixes with food particles and saliva to create plaque. This plaque then collects on your teeth and over time this can severely damage the surface of your tooth. If this is left untreated it can then lead to dental decay, which can leave you in a lot of pain and ultimately destroys the tooth. It may also leave you in need of dental surgery.
However, dental decay can be avoided by following a few simple steps each day when partaking in your oral hygiene routine. It has been estimated that under half of adults follow a good daily hygiene routine.
Brushing your teeth
Firstly when it come to brushing your teeth makes sure you spend at least two minutes doing this at least twice a day, and use a toothpaste with a recommended amount of fluoride in it, as this helps protect and strengthen enamel and can help prevent tooth decay. An electric toothbrush may be more helpful than a traditional manual one, as they can be up to twice as effective.
Flossing and mouthwash
Brushing alone won’t help protect your teeth. Ensure that you introduce both mouthwash and dental floss into your daily dental hygiene routine. You should do this as brushing only cleans around 60 per cent of the surface. Dental floss can help reach in between teeth and mouthwash helps to kill the bacteria located between the teeth, along with helping to reduce plaque and fight gum disease.
Finally, to ensure a good oral hygiene routine, ensure that you visit your dentist or hygienist on a regular basis to make sure something isn’t happening that you can’t see or feel, before it’s too late.

Patients in Dukinfield Love the Fast Results of Damon Braces
The Damon Brace is a new type of fixed brace, which provides faster treatment and results for patients near Dukinfield and across the UK. Damon Braces are also a great deal more discreet in comparison to other fixed braces, as they employ the use of white ceramic fixtures rather than highly visible wires and brackets.
Advantages of the Damon Brace
There are several advantages with Damon Braces, which includes its innovative sliding bracket mechanism, which differs from the usual wire and bracket systems. Both wires and brackets are self-ligating, which means the brace moves itself throughout the treatment, providing the patient with a more comfortable experience and quicker treatment, as the system allows for stronger forces to be used for faster alignment. Also the tooth coloured ceramic and stainless steel fixtures mean the Damon Braces is much harder to notice than other fixed brace systems.
Personalised braces
Damon Braces are created using personal impressions made of your mouth, which are then used to create your brace, specific to your orthodontic prescription. Once your new brace has been created you will return to the practice to have your personal brace fitted into place. You will have to return to the practice in order to have your braces tightened, but Damon Braces do not require such frequent visits as traditional braces, due to the self-ligating wires and brackets.
You may feel some mild discomfort within the first few days of your treatment, however, this will soon disappear and Damon Braces actually cause less discomfort afterwards in comparison to traditional brace treatment.
Fast treatment with Damon Braces
Damon braces have been found to take as much as six months less to straighten teeth than other fixed brace treatments and are suitable for a whole range of orthodontic problems, including crossbites, gaps, overbites and twisted teeth.
If you are looking for fast acting and effective orthodontic treatment please call the practice today, we would be happy to help.
Patients from Dukinfield can Experience Strong, Stabilised Smiles with Dental Implants for Dentures
Dentures: Removable replacements for teeth, which nowadays can be nearly indistinguishable from legitimate teeth. However, one sure fire giveaway that you’re wearing dentures is, of course, when your teeth come loose. Losing your teeth can have a major impact on your self-image. Once dentures have been fitted, letting the illusion slip may also have a similar effect. You also have the basic problem of keeping dentures in place while eating, which may for many take precedence over self-image in terms of importance. Put the two together and you have a fairly miserable cocktail, one which our imaginary subject probably won’t even be drinking for fear of denture slippage.
Dental implant stabilisers
One way of avoiding slippage is to have dental implants fitted at Mossley Dental Care near Dukinfield, which hold the dentures in places. In this procedure, small titanium screws with ball-tops are placed into the jaw. Once your jaw has healed and your implants have integrated, your dentures are customized to snap onto the ball tops. They can be easily taken out for cleaning and such, by applying upward pressure to the front of the denture with your thumb. The process of implanting the screws will take about an hour, but may sometimes take longer. Post-procedure discomfort is usually minor and can easily be alleviated with medication.
Added bonus
Dentures, when worn without implants reduce the supply of blood to the jawbone, which causes immense deterioration and bone loss. When worn with dental implants however, stimulation to the bone is provided via the implants as they are anchored into the bone.
Consultation
If denture slippage is a problem for you, why not come in for a free consultation? Implant stabilised dentures could have a drastic impact on your quality of life.
The Completely Hidden Fixed Brace Treatment for Patients from Dukinfield
Adolescence is a stage that even those in it despise, and nothing conjures up ‘awkward-teens’ quite like the old train-track brace face. This unfortunate stigma can make having a brace, at any point in your life, a rather unattractive prospect, especially considering most people who require one for treatment end up wearing the thing for between twelve and twenty four months.
A solution?
The word ‘lingual’ is derived from the Latin for ‘close to the tongue’ and can be used as an adjective for things relating to the tongue or relating to language (i.e. bilingual or lingual diversity). Lingual braces live up to their name, not only by being closer to the tongue than conventional braces, but also for the amount of talking you’ll be doing in them; as no will know you’re wearing braces in the first place. Lingual braces are exactly like conventional braces, except they are fitted to the back of your teeth rather than the front. They will do exactly the same job; just no one has to see them.
But what about ‘invisalign’ braces?
Invisalign braces are another form of hidden brace, though Invisalign braces are clear and thus hidden in plain sight. What are the advantages of Lingual braces over Inivisalign? One is that Lingual braces are fixed. This might sound odd to posit as an advantage, but it avoids any problems which may develop as a result of the wearer’s carelessness with removable braces. Treatment with Invisalign works in increments with a new brace being provided roughly every three weeks, but the treatment also requires you wear your brace for between twenty and twenty two hours a day. Failure to do so can result in the next increment of the treatment not fitting, delaying the treatment and hiking up the cost. In terms of price Lingual braces can also be much cheaper: The most expensive form of Lingual treatment being two thirds of Invisialign’s cheapest.

Why Your Child’s Milk Teeth aren’t as Expendable as You thought for Parents from Dukinfield
Milk teeth matter
As parents we think of milk teeth as the trial run before our child gets their ‘proper’ teeth. We often give little thought to the care of these teeth and the effects the lack of oral care can have on the permanent teeth later in life. It is important to start your child on a regular routine of dental hygiene from an early age, with regular brushing in the morning and at night before bed. This will set them up hopefully for a lifetime of good oral hygiene.
Milk teeth should be treated with the same care as later permanent teeth, so a balanced diet is also important for children from Dukinfield. Too many sugary snacks and drinks can cause tooth decay in milk teeth, which can then pass on to permanent teeth.
Why are milk teeth important?
Children have 20 milk teeth in comparison to adults, who have 32 permanent teeth. Milk teeth actually start to develop in the womb in between the ages of 5-8 months. Often the last of the milk teeth develop when the child is 2 or 3 years old.
Milk teeth are incredibly important in the first stages of digesting food, biting, chewing and grinding. They also act as a guide for later, permanent teeth keeping the space in the mouth and making sure that permanent teeth can enter the mouth in the right place.
If milk teeth are lost too soon because of tooth decay permanent teeth can be directly affected and can come out crooked or in the wrong place. If tooth decay then leads to tooth infection it can permanently damage the adult teeth.
The milk teeth also help the growth of the face and the development of the jaw muscles in a child.
Going forward
It is important for your child that they look after their milk teeth and that they are taught good oral hygiene techniques from a young age so that their milk teeth are healthy, giving them the best possible chance for the later permanent teeth.
Patients from Dukinfield keep their child’s dental health in check
Knowing exactly how and when to start cleaning your child’s teeth can be confusing for some parents. However, the answer is simple and the moment teeth are present you should begin to clean them. When they are still very young a washcloth can be used, but as more teeth appear switch to a soft toothbrush designed for children.
Take special care while using toothpaste and only use a small smear for those under two and a pea size amount for over two year olds. Teach your child to spit out the toothpaste from an early age, as consuming fluoride can be harmful to children.
If there is a family history of tooth or mouth problems, or if your child sucks their thumbs, patients from Dukinfield and surrounding areas are recommended to bring their child into the practice sooner rather than later. It is also a good idea to bring along your child to the dentist before their own appointment, so they can grow accustomed to the strange surroundings.
Diet can play an important part in the health of your child’s teeth and gums. Make sure they do not eat too many sugar foods and that they clean their teeth afterwards. This is to help in the removal of bacteria from the teeth and gums.
The best way to ensure your child has good oral hygiene is to lead by example. This is because children at a young age will want to copy their parents and it instils the habit of good oral hygiene at an early age.
