One often thinks of dental hygiene as daily brushing twice a day and flossing.  However the tongue can often be over looked, even though it is a source of bacteria that can cause bad breath. When brushing your teeth gently brush your tongue and use a mouthwash that kills germs this will help keep your tongue clean as well as your breath fresh.

For some people their tooth can become sensitive for a days to weeks after having a filling.  There are many reason why this can happen but the most common reason is that part of the tooth and all of the dental decay must be removed for a filling to be placed. In some cases, this procedure can cause sensitivity in the tooth. As a general rule, the deeper the cavity and closer to the tooth nerve, the more likely there will be discomfort after the dental procedure.  If the pain last for over a week it is advise to go back to the dentist to have the tooth re-evaluated.

I am confused and frustrated.   I need to know who do you write to or call  to make a complaint.  I’m unhappy with the dental care I have been receiving.

I pursued the case and they told me I had an appointment coming up.  then I when I contacted again, they tell me there is no record of me in their systems.   What can I do to resolve this matter.

It  may be  hard to believe but many people still do not floss.  Flossing is even more important then brushing when it comes to preventing gum disease gingivitis and tooth loss.   Flossing your teeth is not so much about removing food bit that are such between your gums though it does do that. Flossing is more about removing dental plaque.  Dental plaque is what causes tooth decay, gingivitis and gum disease.  Flossing every day between each tooth is an effective way to remove plaque and provide you with good oral health.
