Brushing your teeth twice a day not only keeps your breath sweet, but also helps rid the mouth of bacteria that makes up plaque and can lead to oral infections. To brush properly, point bristles at a 45-degree angle against the gums. Use gentle back-and-forth strokes all over your teeth -- in front, in back, and on chewing surfaces -- for two minutes. If holding a toothbrush is hard for you, try an electric toothbrush. Also brush your gums and tongue.
Advanced research in dental problems related to migraines and tension headaches has led to the FDA-approved NTI™ device. This is an effective alternative to the use of drugs to relieve pain. The oral appliance relaxes the muscles of the scalp, reducing tension-related pain. Headache and migraine sufferers have been impressed with the results they receive. Studies show that 82% of patients who used this device have had 77% lower occurrence of pain. Let us tell you what we can do for you or someone you love who suffers from this problem.
Sticky plaque -- food, saliva, and bacteria -- starts to form on your teeth after you eat, releasing acids that attack tooth enamel. Untreated plaque turns into tartar, which builds under gum lines and is hard to remove with flossing. The longer it stays on your teeth, the more harmful it is. Bacteria in plaque causes inflammation and leads to gum disease. Having high blood sugar often makes gum disease worse.
No More Denture Slippage
Perhaps you have already gone through wearing braces as a kid, but over time, your teeth have shifted from their corrected position. Or maybe you have only thought of having braces and have shied away from creating a new smile. 
People with diabetes are prone to oral infections. You should get dental checkups at least twice a year. Let your dentist know you have diabetes and what medicines you take. Regular checkups and professional cleanings can help keep a mouth healthy. And a dentist can teach you the best ways to care for your teeth and gums at home.
