Washington produces more than half of the fresh apples in the country every year, making it the apple capital of the USA (sorry New York!). Crunching down on a local apple isn’t just a great way to snack, it’s also a great, natural way to clean your teeth. Why? Apples are rich in fiber and practically scrub your teeth with each bite! An apple’s tooth-cleaning effects include removing food particles on your teeth and gums, breaking down plaque, whitening teeth, and stimulating saliva production—all of which are necessary for strong, healthy teeth. So, incorporate local apples into your daily diet and let your pearly white smile be a symbol of state pride.

Washington state, home of the first Starbucks, has one of the greatest coffee cultures in the country. Practically every Washingtonian has a favorite coffee shop and go-to order. But whether you enjoy a simple cup of black coffee or prefer a venti iced caramel macchiato with oat milk, it’s a well-known fact that coffee is not good for your teeth. Without a great daily oral hygiene routine keeping your teeth strong and healthy, what’s the good of your morning brew if your teeth are going to suffer? To make sure your caffeine fix doesn’t land you in the dentist chair, remember to brush and floss twice daily, eat a well-balanced diet, and drink a cup of water or two after you down your coffee to avoid coffee breath!

Can scaling and root planing help me reverse gum disease?

b
brush-whisperer-151

In many cases, gingivitis can be reversed with scaling and root planing (known as deep cleaning) and a strict routine of good hygiene and preventative dental care. However, if the condition progresses into periodontitis, then it might no longer be reversible, and will have to be controlled through regular periodontal maintenance.

What is scaling/root planing (Deep Cleaning)?

f
fluoride-achiever-2

Gingivitis marks the beginning of periodontal disease, and describes inflammation in the gums caused by excessive oral bacteria buildup (in the form of plaque and tartar). Because gingivitis occurs underneath the gums, routine dental cleaning won’t suffice to treat it. Scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning, involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. Then, your periodontist will smooth the roots of your teeth underneath the gums to discourage further oral bacteria buildup. As plaque and tartar accumulate on the roots, the buildup and resulting inflammation cause your gum tissues to recede slightly from your teeth. This creates deepening periodontal pockets where oral bacteria can continue to gather and multiply, worsening the infection and inflammation. Periodontal cleaning helps stop the infection by removing the films of plaque and tartar from your roots (scaling), and then smoothing their surfaces (planing) to inhibit bacterial buildup as your gums heal. In cases where gum disease has already developed, scaling and root planing should be followed by a strict schedule of checkups, cleanings, and periodontal maintenance. Your periodontist can prescribe appropriate treatment options, such as gingival grafting or pocket reduction surgery, to fortify your compromised tissues so you can recover from gum disease.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.

I fell off my bike and chipped my front tooth. I was able to find and book an appointment online right away. Next time I need an appointment I'll try Doctors Network again.
