]]> If you want to maintain a strong and healthy smile, then our dentist, Dr. Donna Gentry, encourages you to wear a mouthguard when you participate in high-contact sports and activities. You can even wear a mouthguard when you do things that aren’t extremely dangerous for your smile but could still cause an oral injury, like bike riding, skateboarding, and gymnastics.

A mouthguard is a strong device that protects the mouth. It covers the teeth and gums and reduces the chances of oral injury. Typically, it helps cushion blows to the face that can damage the teeth, arches, gums, lips, and tongue. The guard usually covers the top arch of teeth because it’s more exposed than the bottom arch. This is because it sticks out farther. You should include a mouthguard as an essential piece of your athletic gear and you should wear it regularly. There are many different types of mouthguards available, like:

-Stock mouthguards (These can be purchased at a sporting goods store)

-Boil-and-bite mouthguards (These can be purchased at a sporting goods store)

-Custom-made mouthguards (These can be purchased at our dental office)

To find out which guard is right for you, ask our dental team today. We will be happy to examine your smile and help you if you schedule an appointment.

]]> Are you tired of your tooth stains? If so, you’re not alone. Many people suffer tooth discoloration and dislike the way it takes the beauty away from the smile and lowers the self-esteem and self-confidence. Fortunately, there are things you can do to whiten your teeth and improve the appearance of your smile as well as prevent tooth stains in the future. Our dentist, Dr. Donna Gentry, is happy to help you do so by giving you the tips and information you need.

The first tip is to determine the extent and cause of the stains. To determine the extent, it’s best to schedule an appointment with your dentist. Your dentist can help you find the treatment that will help eliminate your specific stains. To determine the cause, think about some of your lifestyle choices that cause the discoloration. This might be drinking coffee, wine, or soda regularly; it could be eating tooth-staining foods frequently, or it could be that you smoke. No matter the cause, it’s best to change your habits so you can have the smile you deserve.

The second tip is to start a whitening regimen. The information your dentist gave you can help you choose the right treatment. The treatment might be whitening toothpaste, whitening strips, whitening gel, or a professional whitening treatment. Fortunately, there are many that can help you achieve the smile of your dreams.
