  • Can gum recession be stopped?

    Yes! Go see a dentist immediately to get their clinical opinion. At home recommendations would be to: - brush 2x daily for 2 minutes with an electric toothbrush - brush GENTLY How to brush gently: a. hold brush with index finger and thumb ONLY Why brushing GENTLY is important? a. one of the major causes of gum recession is due to aggressive brushing; therefore, brush gently to allow the gum to heal. b. Consider buying a toothbrush with a pressure sensor to indicate when you are brushing aggressively - floss & use a tongue scraper GENTLY & daily - reduce consumption of sugary foods & sodas Why? a. because bacteria feed on sugar and produce acidic byproducts which allows for a favorable environment for more bacteria to grow/reproduce in the mouth. b. This increase in bacteria can cause problems over time such as cavities, gum disease, bone loss, bad breathe, & more. READ MORE

What do you attribute your success to?

  • My family and my friends. The support system is truly my cornerstone. Without them, I would not have gotten this far, as well as my faith in Christianity.Not only is it rewarding to help the individual, but being kids, that\'s the first interaction they\'ll ever have with a dentist. Making that a positive experience not only for the child but also educating the caregiver as well as the parents about how to improve dental health, I feel is absolutely amazing.
