When prevention fails, implants can provide outstanding replacements.

The more sugary and acidic foods are consumed, the more measures should be taken to minimize the potential damage that sweet treats can inflict.


BURBANK, Cali. (PRWEB)

A November 20 article on Yahoo Lifestyle details some of the many new candies that are available this holiday season. Dr. Bostani’s Advanced Dental says that indulging in a few holiday treats – brand new or traditional – is not a gigantic dental danger to the average person who eats a reasonably healthy and balanced diet, but the more sugary and acidic foods are consumed, the more measures should be taken to minimize the potential damage that sweet treats can inflict.

The Burbank-based dental center– which offers treatments in cosmetic, preventive, and restorative dentistry in the famed LA-adjacent city – notes that careful prevention is ideally the best strategy for preserving the wellbeing of teeth long term. The center explains that this starts with ensuring that the consumption of sugary and acidic foods and beverages doesn’t become truly excessive while also ensuring that individuals drink plenty of water before and after such treats so as to lessen the amount of sugar and acid lingering on teeth. The center adds that waiting for about 15 to 30 minutes after every meal to brush teeth allows tooth enamel to re-mineralize, thus preventing damage from toothbrush bristles. Flossing and using a mouth rinse will also go a long way in removing any remaining bits of sugary food, says the center.

Dr. Bostani’s Advanced Dental also notes that, should damage occur, patients still have plenty of options to restore their smile. There are a variety of treatments that can remove stains and whiten teeth, or when the damage is more severe, protect or completely replace vulnerable teeth or teeth that are too far gone to be salvaged. The dental center notes that veneers and crowns are ideal for protecting teeth that still possess an adequate amount of functionality but may have become unattractive or prone to further degradation. When teeth are past the point of being saved and need to be extracted, the center adds that dental implants can replace a tooth with a near-identical prosthetic that performs as well or better than the original tooth.

Dr. Bostani’s Advanced Dental says that, whether patients are considering preventive care or are concerned about the early signs of problems, the earlier they get in touch with a dentist, the better. Especially during the holiday season, when money seems to slip through everyone’s fingers, frugal patients will be happy to know that treatments for ailments in their early stages are almost always much cheaper than treating ailments that have progressed unchecked.
