Top 4 Steps to a Healthy Smile Step 1

Step 3
Step 4
Keep your mouth clean
Visit your dentist regularly
Make healthy food choices
Avoid tobacco in any form
Regular visits to your dentist make it possible for your dentist to treat problems in the early stages.
For teeth to be healthy, they need vitamins, protein, calcium and phosphorous — and you can get them all from a healthy diet.
During your oral exam, your dentist will check for:
• Avoid sugary drinks. This includes sodas, sports drinks, energy drinks, and even 100% fruit juices.
If you use any form of tobacco — including electronic cigarettes and chewing tobacco — you increase your risk for gum disease and tooth loss. Cigarette smoking also increases your risk for oral cancer.
• Brush your teeth 2 times a day for 2 minutes each time. • Use toothpaste with fluoride, a mineral that can help keep your teeth strong. • Clean between your teeth every day with floss or another between-the-teeth cleaner. This removes food particles and plaque from under your gum line and between your teeth — places that your toothbrush can’t reach.
• tooth decay and cavities • gum disease • signs of oral cancer
• Limit your snacking between meals.
• anything that doesn’t look normal
• If you have sugary foods and drinks, have them with meals.
Plus, a professional cleaning helps remove stains, plaque and tartar from your teeth. It also helps prevent gum disease and keeps your smile looking great!
• Chew sugarless gum with the ADA Seal of Acceptance.

• Drink water with fluoride.
Quitting tobacco use is a great step forward for your dental and overall health. Ask your dentist or physician for advice on how to quit.

Sugar and its Effects Sugary food and drinks harm your teeth! • Plaque bacteria found on your tooth surfaces feed on the sugars in your food and drinks.
You may be drinking your dessert! You may not realize just how much sugar is in your favorite beverage. This chart shows you how many cookies are equal to the amount of sugar that’s in these popular drinks. How much sugar are you drinking every day? = 4 grams of sugar
Sweet Tea • 1 cup: 12 grams
• They turn the sugar into acids.
Energy Drink • 1 can: 25 grams
• These acids attack the hard surfaces of your teeth (enamel) for up to 20 minutes after you are finished eating/ drinking.
Regular Sports Drink • 1 bottle: 30 grams
• Over time, your enamel can get damaged and can cause cavities to form or erosion to occur.

Plaque and its Effects
Prevention and Diagnosis
Plaque and Tartar Plaque is a soft, sticky film with bacteria that constantly forms on teeth. It can cause tooth decay and gum disease. Plaque that is not removed can harden and form tartar (also called calculus), which makes it difficult to keep your teeth clean. Only a professional dental cleaning can remove tartar from your teeth.
Before professional dental cleaning
After professional dental cleaning
Buildup of tartar can also be seen on x-rays.
Plaque can harden into tartar if not removed and can build up around your teeth. This makes it harder to keep them clean on your own. Image ©Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Plaque and its Effects
Prevention and Diagnosis
Other ways you can control plaque
A disclosing agent can reveal the amount of plaque that’s in your mouth after you brush. It can help point out areas in your mouth that you may not be reaching when you clean. Image © Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
You can also get decay in places where your toothbrush can’t reach — like in between teeth. Be sure to clean between your teeth every day using floss, picks, or other cleaners. Your dentist or hygienist can help determine which method works best for your mouth.
Anti-gingivitis mouthrinse reduces bacteria that can cause gingivitis, an early form of gum disease.
For some people, a powered toothbrush may be easier or more comfortable to use than a regular toothbrush.
• Ask your dentist or hygienist to show you how to use these tools to suit your needs. • Look for the ADA Seal of Acceptance when you buy these products. • Brush for 2 minutes, twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. Learn the proper way to brush on the next page. • Floss or clean between your teeth every day. Find out how on page 10.

How To Brush Your Teeth
Prevention and Diagnosis
1. Place your toothbrush against your gums at a 45-degree angle. Move the brush back and forth gently in short strokes, about as wide as each of your teeth. Your dentist or hygienist can show you how.
2. Brush the outer tooth surfaces.
3. Brush the inner tooth surfaces.
4. Brush the chewing surfaces.
5. Use the top part of the brush to clean the inside surface of the top and bottom front teeth. Use a gentle up-and-down motion.
6. Brush your tongue, which may help remove bacteria and freshen your breath.

How To Floss
Prevention and Diagnosis
1. Break off about 18 inches of floss and wind most of it around one of your middle fingers. Wind the remaining floss around a finger on the other hand. This finger will take up the used floss. Hold the floss tightly between your thumb and forefingers.
2. Guide the floss between your teeth, using a gentle back-and-forth motion. To avoid injuring your gums, never snap the floss into gum tissue.
3. When the floss reaches the gum line, curve it into a “C” shape against one tooth. Gently slide it into the space between the gum and the tooth.
4. Hold the floss tightly against the tooth. Gently rub the side of the tooth, moving the floss away from the gum with up and down motions.
5. Repeat this method on the rest of your teeth. As you move from tooth to tooth, unwind the clean floss with one finger and take up the used floss with a finger on the other hand. Don’t forget the back side of the last tooth.
If you have trouble handling floss, you may find it helpful to use a floss holder or other between-the-teeth cleaners, like special picks or narrow brushes.

Sealants A sealant is a coating that protects a tooth from decay. It can also be used to help stop the progression of early signs of decay on the chewing surface of a tooth. When teeth are treated with sealants, they are less likely to get cavities. Sealants can be applied quickly and painlessly.
Prevention and Diagnosis

The chewing surfaces of a molar (magnified) have pits and grooves that trap plaque and bits of food.

Dental X-Rays (Radiographs) X-rays help your dentist see the jaw bone, the roots of the teeth, or teeth that have not yet erupted, as well as the contact areas between the teeth. In some cases, x-rays can reveal a condition at an early stage, when it is easier to treat. Some Conditions X-Rays Can Help Detect: • small areas of decay in the teeth or below fillings
Bitewing This X-ray shows decay between the teeth (interproximal decay). Sometimes occlusal decay can also be seen on a bitewing film.
Periapical (around the tooth’s root) This X-ray shows the crown of an impacted molar.
Prevention and Diagnosis
Occlusal (upper or lower jaw) This X-ray shows an unerupted tooth.
CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography) CBCT images can show more detail than X-rays.
• bone diseases • abscesses or cysts • signs of periodontal (gum) disease • developmental and other defects • some types of tumors • positions of tooth roots and jaw bones
Complete-mouth series of bitewing and periapical X-rays shows all of the teeth, roots and related areas of the jaws.
• signs of trauma
Panoramic This X-ray shows developing permanent teeth that have not yet erupted.

Stages of Gum Disease
Gum Disease
Image ©Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Gums Ligament Bone
Normal, Healthy Gums
Your teeth are held in place by gums, bone and connective tissues. Your gums tightly hug your teeth and there is little or no buildup of plaque and tartar on them.
Pus
Gingivitis
The bacteria in plaque make your gums red, tender, and swollen. Your gums might bleed at this stage. You also can have gingivitis and not have any signs of it.
Periodontitis
In time, your body responds to the harmful toxins that the bacteria produce by breaking down the gum tissues and bone around your teeth.
Advanced Periodontitis
Your teeth may become loose, fall out or need to be removed by your dentist. Loose or missing teeth can create problems, like making it hard for you to eat the foods you like.

Gum Disease Treatment and Maintenance
Gum Disease
Deep Cleaning – Scaling and Root Planing
Deeper cleanings like scaling and root planing are performed to help your gums properly heal from gum disease.
Scaling removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line.
Root planing smoothes the tooth root and helps the gums re-attach to the tooth.

Gum Recession If your gum tissue begins to pull away from your teeth, you may have gum recession. This can leave your tooth’s roots exposed and they may become sensitive to hot and cold. Plus, they are more at risk for decay. Even if you take good care of your teeth, it’s possible that gum recession may still happen.
Gum Disease
gum recession exposed tooth root inflamed gum tissue
You can develop gum recession at any place in your mouth and on any tooth.
Causes: • periodontal (gum) disease • brushing your teeth too hard or using a toothbrush with hard bristles • trauma to gum tissues, such as a sports injury • partial dentures that don’t fit right • genetics — some people are born with gums that are thin or weak • larger-than-normal tooth roots or attachment muscles that can push gums out of place • smoking and using any kind of tobacco

Gum Recession Treatments One or more of these treatments could be recommended by your dentist:
Gum Disease
Gum Graft Exposed tooth roots
• Proper brushing techniques can help prevent damage to your gums. Your dentist or hygienist can work with you on the best ways to clean your teeth. • Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is often the first step in healing your gums. • Adjusting or remaking partial dentures will make sure they fit correctly.
Before gum graft Exposed tooth roots are more at risk for cavities and sensitivity.
After gum graft Repaired gums now protect tooth roots.

• Surgery is sometimes needed to treat gum recession.
Gum Graft A thin piece of gum tissue is taken from another place in your mouth and attached where your gum tissue has receded.
Grafts may be done around one or more teeth to protect the root from sensitivity and decay. Grafts can also be used to make a smile look better.

Tooth Decay in Baby Teeth
Decay, Cavities and Restorations
Tooth decay in infants and toddlers happens when teeth are in contact with sugary liquids often or for long periods of time. These liquids include fruit juice, soda and other sweetened liquids. Decay can destroy the teeth of an infant or young child.
Decay in Baby (Primary) Teeth white lesions

Initial decay
Moderate decay
Ways to Prevent Early Decay • Do not let your child sip constantly on drinks with sugar (including juice drinks).
Moderate to severe decay
Severe decay
Use the right amount of toothpaste for your child
• Babies and toddlers should finish their naptime and bedtime bottles before going to bed. • Encourage your child to drink from a cup by his or her first birthday. • If your child uses a pacifier, don’t dip it in sugar or honey, or put it in your mouth before giving it to the child. The cavity-causing bacteria in your mouth can be passed to your baby. • After each feeding, wipe your infant’s gums with a clean, damp washcloth or gauze pad. Once the first tooth appears, brush your infant’s teeth twice daily with a child-sized, soft-bristled toothbrush. • Visit the dentist by your child’s first birthday. Consider this a “well-baby checkup” for your child.

Cavities
Decay, Cavities and Restorations
When decay gets through the enamel of your tooth, a cavity can form. Once a cavity forms, it can continue to spread deeper and deeper into the layers of your tooth. It’s important to catch and treat a cavity as early as possible to avoid serious problems, like an abscess or an infection.
General Steps of a Filling
1. Tooth is prepared. Your dentist will help you feel comfortable during treatment and will go over options that will make sure you don’t feel any pain in and around the tooth being filled. Your mouth may be numbed.
2. Decay is removed. Your dentist removes all of the decayed area from your tooth.
3. Tooth is Rinsed and Dried. Your tooth is rinsed and dried to get it ready for the filling material.
4. Filling material is placed and shaped. Once the new filling is in place, your dentist will shape to restore the form of your tooth. Your bite is also checked to make sure it feels natural.

Inlays and Onlays Inlays and onlays are often used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay and wear. They are made in a dental office or lab and are typically placed on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth or molars. Inlays and onlays are very durable. They are often used when the area to be filled is too large for a regular filling, but not large enough to need a crown.

Crown Preparation and Placement Steps in placing a crown:
Decay, Cavities and Restorations
Anterior (front) Crowns
1. Your dentist prepares the tooth by removing its outer portion so the crown will fit. Any decay is also removed. If additional tooth structure is needed to support the crown, the dentist may build up the core of the tooth. 2. An impression is made to provide an exact model for the crown. 3. You will get a temporary crown while you wait for the permanent crown to be ready. 4. The dentist or a laboratory technician then uses the model to help make the crown.

Root Canal (Endodontic) Therapy
Decay, Cavities and Restorations
Steps of Root Canal Therapy
Healthy tooth and root
Tooth decay can cause an abscess (infection).
The decay is removed and an opening is made through the crown of the tooth into the pulp chamber.
The pulp is removed, and the root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.
The root canals and pulp chamber are filled.
A metal rod (post) may be placed in the root canal to help retain the core (filling) material, which supports the restoration (crown).
The crown of the tooth is then restored. If bone is lost due to infection at the root tip, this will heal over several months after the root canal is cleaned and sealed.

Crown Abcess
Filling
A cut is made to allow access to the base of the tooth. Any diseased and inflamed tissue is removed. The tip of the tooth root is also removed.
A small filling may be placed in the remaining tip of the tooth to seal the root canal. The gum tissue is stitched back into place.
A crown is placed to protect the tooth; as healing occurs, new bone grows in and fills the space.
Tooth with bony defect is given root canal treatment.
The diseased crown and root are sectioned off and removed.
A fixed bridge is placed to stabilize the treated tooth. As healing occurs, bone grows in.

Before
If you are missing all of your teeth, your dentist may recommend dentures. Complete dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth. They are usually held in place by one of two methods:
Implants with Denture
With mini-implants
After
• Conventional complete dentures rely on your cheek muscles, lips, saliva, and sometimes your tongue to stay in place. Conventional dentures are removable. • Implant-supported complete dentures attach to cylinders that have been surgically placed in the jaw. Many patients find these dentures to be more secure and comfortable, and the implants can help reduce possible bone loss. These dentures may or may not be removable.

Implants There are three general phases of implant treatment:
Tooth Replacement
Steps of Implant Placement
• Implant placement: The dentist surgically places the implant into the jaw. • Healing: The bone grows around the implant and holds the implant in place. This can take up to several months. • Replacing your missing teeth: The abutment, then a crown, bridge or denture will be made to fit your mouth and your implants. Once completed, the man-made teeth are attached to the implant posts.

Implants Peri-Implantitis
Tooth Replacement
Peri-Implantitis
Bone Loss and Gum Recession
Peri-Implantitis (the inflammation and bone loss around implants of soft tissue around the implant).
Bone and gum recession with implant exposure.
Implants are not invincible! Just like your natural teeth, implants can last for many years if you take good care of them every day. But, you can still experience problems with implants if they are not properly maintained. This may lead to implant infection and inflammation — known as peri-implantitis. This can cause your implant to become loose or shift because the bacteria and soft tissue is preventing your jaw bone from growing around the abutment.
If the infection is not treated, it could spread to other parts of your mouth and your implant may need to be removed and/or replaced.

Tooth Replacement
Building Up Bone to Support Implants If there is not enough bone to support the implant, bone can be added by a process called bone grafting.

Appliances Used During Growth and Development Crooked teeth and bite problems are often solved with orthodontic treatment. Braces are the most common way to straighten teeth and correct major bite problems.
Gum Disease with Orthodontic Appliances
A space maintainer holds space for a permanent tooth.
A lingual arch holds space in the lower jaw when several teeth are lost too early.
During the growth period, conditions such as a narrow upper jaw may be corrected by a palatal expander.
Bonded clear brackets (upper) and/or metal brackets (lower) can be used as braces.
Removable retainer can hold teeth in place after braces are removed.

Tooth Erosion
Other Oral Conditions
Tooth erosion happens when your enamel begins to wear away and exposes the soft, yellow layer of dentin beneath it. When the enamel on your teeth thins out, your tooth protection is weakened and the inside layers can be exposed to more acid and bacteria. This puts you at greater risk of problems like decay, cavities and infection. Causes of Tooth Erosion • Eating and/or drinking items that are acidic or high in sugar, like soft drinks, fruit juices, candy and energy drinks • Frequent heartburn or acid reflux (also known as GERD) • Eating disorders like bulimia
Erosion and staining from drinking too much soda. The enamel has been worn away from around the existing fillings, putting the teeth at higher risk of decay and infection.
Severe erosion from acid reflux.
Erosion from an eating disorder (bulimia).
• Dry mouth (Xerostomia)

Tooth Erosion
Other Oral Conditions
How to tell if you have tooth erosion: • Your teeth are sensitive to hot, cold or both • Your teeth appear shiny, transparent, or yellow/discolored • Dimples or indentations on the chewing surfaces of your teeth (also known as “cupping”) • Changes in size and shape of your teeth as the enamel wears away
Cupping on the chewing surfaces of teeth is a sign of moderate erosion from acid reflux.
As the acid wears away the enamel on your teeth, the size and shape will change.
The soft layers of your teeth become exposed and your teeth may change in color or appear yellow and shiny.

Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) Two temporomandibular (tem-PORO-manDIB-u-lar) joints work together in a delicate balance with muscles, ligaments, cartilage and your jaw bones. When problems prevent these parts from working together properly, known as Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD), pain may result.
Other Oral Conditions
Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD)
Treatment Options
Signs and symptoms may include:
• avoiding chewing gum
• pain in or around the ear
• using heat or ice packs to relieve the pain
• tender jaw muscles
• practicing relaxation techniques to control jaw tension, such as meditation
• clicking or popping noises in the jaw • difficulty opening or closing the mouth • pain when yawning or chewing • jaw joints that feel as if they are “locked,” “stuck” or they “go out”
• eating softer foods
• doing exercises to strengthen your jaw muscles • taking medications prescribed by your dentist • using a night guard or bite plate to decrease clenching or grinding of teeth
• headaches

• the area where you feel pain • things that cause you tooth pain (such as heat, cold or foods that are sweet, sour or sticky)
Types of treatment include the following:
Why Does a Cracked Tooth Hurt? The crack may be too small to see, but when it opens, the pulp inside the tooth may become irritated. If the crack extends into the pulp, the tooth may become sensitive to extreme heat and cold.
• repairing the tooth with a filling material
• no treatment right away • placing a crown on the tooth to protect it from further damage • endodontic (root canal) therapy if the nerves of the tooth are infected • removing the tooth if it is severely cracked and cannot be saved

Tooth Grinding and Clenching (Bruxism) What is Bruxism?
How is bruxism treated?
Bruxism (BRUCKS-is-im) is a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth. It can happen in children or adults of any age.
Treatment depends on each person’s situation. Your dentist may recommend one or more of the following treatments:
People who suffer from bruxism may have one or more of these symptoms:
• a protective night guard worn over your teeth while sleeping
• headache or earache • sore jaw • jaw clicking • frequent toothaches • sensitive teeth
Other Oral Conditions
• ways to lower stress • medication for pain or muscle spasms • exercises to relax jaw muscles • fillings or other dental treatment to repair damaged teeth
Bruxism before and after reconstruction
• facial pain • worn or cracked teeth or fillings • tongue indentations • trouble sleeping
This patient’s tooth enamel has worn away, exposing the dentin, the softer yellow layer underneath.

Tobacco Using tobacco in any form is risky to your oral and overall health. Whether you smoke, chew, dip, or vape, there is no such thing as a safe form of tobacco!
Other Oral Conditions
Smoking causes stains that can only be removed by a licensed dental professional.
Sores, gums that pull away from teeth and stains often result from using smokeless tobacco.
Tobacco users are at higher risk of gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss.
What happens to your mouth when you use tobacco products? • It can lead to gum disease and tooth loss. • Your teeth and tongue become brown and stained. • You can have bad breath that doesn’t go away. • You can get mouth sores. • It may take you longer to recover from dental treatments. • You can get mouth/throat cancer.
