If you constantly have a bad taste in your mouth, it could be a sign of an underlying problem somewhere in your mouth.  Bacteria are the major cause of bad breath and bad tastes in the mouth.  The question is:  Where is the bacteria hiding where you may not be able to get to it?  It could be a new cavity or a suspicious area around a filling or crown. 

Another possibility is that food is getting caught in an area which is not being brushed or flossed properly.  Therefore, the first step should always be to brush at least twice a day and to floss daily.  If the taste is still present after improving oral hygiene, call your dentist for an exam.

Finally, a bad taste could be a sign of gum disease (periodontal disease).  Bacteria can reside in deep pockets between the teeth and gums.  If you have not had a cleaning in over a year, schedule and exam with your dentist as soon as possible.

The single most powerful piece of technology in our practice (for Doctor and Patient) is the intraoral camera.  Why?  Because seeing is believing!  What if your dentist could SHOW you what was wrong with your tooth on a large television set?  Well, in our office, that’s exactly what’s available to you.

As a result, the “trust factor” goes way up and any doubts, questions, fears are immediately addressed with a clear picture of the tooth and the treatment that is needed is validated quickly.  Fear can be driven by the unknown. 

Our camera can also validate your GOOD oral health and the fact that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with your teeth at all!  How wonderful!  Every new patient that comes into our office for a comprehensive exam receives a “tour of your mouth” with our camera.  See all that is good in your mouth, see what may need a little help.

Quick Tip:
     Do you have areas in your mouth where food traps between the teeth?  Take a piece of floss and tie a knot in the floss.  Once you position the floss between the teeth, gently pull the knot through the area and it will pull out any food trapped in the area.
      It’s very important to clean out these areas as soon as possible to the prevent a cavity or gum problems.   Have your dentist evaluate why food is catching in between the particular teeth.  It could be a loose filling, the tooth may have shifted or you may have a cavity.

Tetracyline is an antibiotic that was widely prescribed for pregnant women and children from the 1950’s through the late 1970’s.  One of the possible side effects was permanent staining of teeth.  In this case, presence of tetracycline staining and severe wear from teeth grinding led this patient to take action.

First, Teeth whitening was performed for a few weeks.  Then, six upper front teeth were prepared for porcelain veneers and temporaries were placed.  A couple of weeks later, the real porcelain veneers were bonded onto the teeth and the result was spectacular!  A Nightguard was also made for the patient to protect the veneers and teeth at nighttime, when most people tend to grind their teeth.

Porcelain veneers may provide a dramatic esthetic result, but more importantly, they can preserve worn, broken teeth and protect them from further damage.
