Family Dentistry Tips & Facts

  1. Children should get their first exam when teeth first start erupting, usually at age 6 months to 1 year.
  2. Pregnant women are more likely to get gum disease and tooth decay due to eating habits and hormonal changes.
  3. 3. Children are not born with gum disease and decay-causing bacteria, but usually acquire this from their parents or relatives by sharing food.
  4. Did you know that snoring can reduce a person's ability to sleep well and is a primary indication of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is a potentially life-threatening disease that causes a person to stop breathing a number of times during the night? All of this can lead to daytime sleepiness and may also put a person at risk for high blood pressure, heart attack, or stroke. Snoreguard is a customized appliance made in our office, that a person wears at night to reduce snoring.
