<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Why is it Bad to Lose Teeth?</span></h2>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QS_Jz2nHjtc/Wt1zv3gouqI/AAAAAAAAAHU/oAQHJtVTTREKJNnIV5bvSJ_ai2Exk-hIgCLcBGAs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-04-22%2Bat%2B10.48.35%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="241" data-original-width="290" height="166" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QS_Jz2nHjtc/Wt1zv3gouqI/AAAAAAAAAHU/oAQHJtVTTREKJNnIV5bvSJ_ai2Exk-hIgCLcBGAs/s200/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-04-22%2Bat%2B10.48.35%2BPM.png" width="200" /></a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Teeth can be lost from accidents or trauma, but the most prevalent reason people lose a tooth is because of gum disease and/or decay. So, is it a terrible thing to lose a tooth? I mean, it's not life-threatening, right? No, you can't die from tooth loss, but losing even one tooth can cause a shifting of teeth which is not good. This can impact chewing and the body's ability to absorb nutrients. Other disagreeable things can result: your face will change shape, often having a sunken look. This will age your face and make you look older than you are. The way you talk can be affected. Because it's more difficult to chew with missing teeth, you may start favoring softer food choices with more carbohydrates, which can lead to weight gain. The great way to repair a missing tooth (or missing teeth) is with dental implants. An implant can replace from one tooth to several. They can be created to look so lifelike that even dentists have to look closely to tell the difference.</span><br />

With the addition of a few dental implants to support dentures, your teeth will be "locked" into place so they won't move around or slip. Yet they can easily snap off for ease of cleaning. Ask us if you are a candidate for overdentures!<br /><br />See our <a href="http://myprimedentistry.com/custom_dentures_the_villages_fl.html" style="font-weight: bold; outline: none;">Custom Dentures</a> page for more information about dentures and implants!</span><br />

Many patients who've had injury, illness, bite problems, and wear and tear can have chronic problems that they don't even realize originated in their mouth. Bruxism (tooth grinding), TMJ, periodontitis, crooked and misshapen teeth, and missing teeth can lead to headaches or migraines, toothaches, bad breath, and an unattractive smile. But you no longer have to live like that.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dr. Agrawal will discuss your concerns, symptoms, and treatment goals. After taking digital X-rays, photos, and/or imprints of your mouth, he will present options for a treatment plan to address any issues and achieve a healthy, painless, beautiful smile. We can also discuss treatment through phases, and financial planning that will place your dream smile within your budget.</span><br />

It’s estimated that approximately 51,540 people will be diagnosed with oral cancer and cancers of the throat, tonsils and back of the tongue in 2018.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Sunlight </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">People who have jobs working outside are more prone to developing lip cancer and should use UV protection.</span><br />

It’s estimated that approximately 51,540 people will be diagnosed with oral cancer and cancers of the throat, tonsils and back of the tongue in 2018.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Tobacco </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whether you smoke it or chew it, tobacco use increases your risk dramatically. Smoking can cause oral cancer, as well as cancer in other parts of the body. Pipe smokers are also at a higher risk for developing cancer in their lips. Smokeless tobacco, like chew, can lead to many issues in your mouth, the most serious being cancer of the cheeks, gums, and lips.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Alcohol </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to the American Cancer Society, 7 of 10 oral cancer patients are heavy drinkers. Heavy drinking, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is an average of two drinks a day or more for men and an average of more than one drink a day for women. If you are a heavy drinker and a heavy smoker, your chances of developing oral cancer increase significantly. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sexually transmitted disease is now associated with about 9,000 cases of head and neck cancer (specifically those occurring at the back of the tongue, in or around the tonsils) diagnosed each year in the United States, according to the CDC. People who are diagnosed with HPV-related head and neck cancer tend to be younger and nonsmokers. People with HPV-positive cancers have a lower risk of death or recurrence, even though these cancers are often diagnosed at a later stage because it develops in difficult-to-detect areas. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dr. Agrawal works closely with patients to build a bond of teamwork. One of the ways our team brings this about is by using a high-tech tool called the intra-oral camera. This amazing device is a tiny video camera that displays a closeup image of the inside of your mouth. You are able to view what work needs to be completed and which teeth are doing well. You then become part of each dental decision. You'll really appreciate how this works!</span><br />

They work well, are generally affordable, and are covered by insurance companies most of the time. In addition, our practice offers beautiful restorations that are tooth-colored, metal-free, and can actually make your teeth stronger. The primary reason many patients are choosing the white bonded fillings is because they blend into your own natural tooth structure. So nobody even knows you have a filling! They also bond very securely with the healthy tooth structure to decrease the opportunity of future decay. We offer both options, and will be happy to discuss which method would work best for you.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a8Ojb5RIEQ8/WrSvgnJLN4I/AAAAAAAAAEs/Let1rxA1tH4-bp5fFnsoi5hIqY4z9pQPwCLcBGAs/s1600/article_healthy_eating.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="275" data-original-width="450" height="121" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a8Ojb5RIEQ8/WrSvgnJLN4I/AAAAAAAAAEs/Let1rxA1tH4-bp5fFnsoi5hIqY4z9pQPwCLcBGAs/s200/article_healthy_eating.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your mouth, teeth, and gums are more than just tools for eating. They’re essential for chewing and swallowing-the first steps in the digestion process. Your mouth is your body’s initial point of contact with the nutrients you consume. So what you put in your mouth impacts not only your general health but also that of your teeth and gums. In fact, if your nutrition is poor, the first signs often show up in your mouth. Here are a few helpful things to know about how what you eat can impact your dental health.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Diet and Tooth Decay</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The foods you eat and the beverages you drink can have a direct influence on the incidence and progression of tooth decay, depending upon: </span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The form of the food-whether it’s liquid, solid, sticky or slow to dissolve makes a difference. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How often you eat sugary foods and beverages and how often you eat or drink acidic foods and beverages. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The nutritional makeup of the food. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The combination of the foods you eat and the order in which you eat them. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Medical conditions you may have, such as gastrointestinal reflux and eating disorders, which can increase risk of cavities and weaken teeth.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>How Snacking Affects Your Dental Health</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For dental health, it’s recommended that people limit eating and drinking between meals. Of course, sometimes eating between meals must happen. Unfortunately, most people choose foods like sweets and chips for snacks; foods that harm teeth by promoting tooth decay. If you do snack, make it a nutritious choice-such as cheese, yogurt, fruits, vegetables or nuts-for your overall health and the health of your teeth. Did you know that certain foods can put you at risk for cavities and other dental health problems? Here are some MouthHealthy tips.</span><br />

But, ultimately, the best smile is one that is healthy and strong. Here are some of the “tooth truths” about how tough your teeth really are - and how to keep them that way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1. Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the body.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shiny, white enamel that covers your teeth is even stronger than bone. This resilient surface is 96 percent mineral, the highest percentage of any tissue in your body - making it durable and damage-resistant. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2. Your bite is powerful!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Did you know your teeth can exert an average of 200 pounds of pressure when you bite down? That’s probably what tempts us to use our teeth as tools from time to time ñ but as your dentist will remind you, that’s one of the worst habits when it comes to preserving healthy teeth. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Gum Disease Can Silently Contribute to Heart Disease or Stroke</span></h2>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v9JaEFDFZcM/Wo_C0dvJMSI/AAAAAAAAAEM/5PqnFIUDW5ADJXumuSMpfX--NVYrEbmAgCLcBGAs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-02-22%2Bat%2B11.29.10%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="339" height="200" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v9JaEFDFZcM/Wo_C0dvJMSI/AAAAAAAAAEM/5PqnFIUDW5ADJXumuSMpfX--NVYrEbmAgCLcBGAs/s200/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-02-22%2Bat%2B11.29.10%2BPM.png" width="193" /></a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recent medical research has led many doctors to reach a startling conclusion: gum disease, stroke, and heart disease are connected. Since heart disease is often deadly, it is clear that gum disease is nothing to joke about. The American Dental Association estimates that 80 percent of Americans have gum disease. If this was any other affliction, such as AIDS or tuberculosis, it would be considered a widespread epidemic! Most dentists believe this is what it is. They also know that gum disease won't be labeled epidemic since "no one ever dies from it." The worst that can happen is that you lose your teeth. Not a pleasure by any means – but definitely not a threat to your life. But that's changed.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The American Academy of Periodontology states: "Studies found periodontal infection may contribute to the development of heart disease, increase the risk of premature, underweight births, and pose a serious threat to people whose health is already compromised due to diabetes and respiratory diseases." Periodontal disease is characterized by an infection of the gums. Bacteria in the gums can move into the bloodstream – directly to the heart.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-arrgiHKE9XM/WrSvgn-xynI/AAAAAAAAAE0/fdid5q16bPE0ttl-NVOFJXyFRQhN7j0twCEwYBhgL/s1600/article_sparkling_water.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="307" data-original-width="460" height="133" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-arrgiHKE9XM/WrSvgn-xynI/AAAAAAAAAE0/fdid5q16bPE0ttl-NVOFJXyFRQhN7j0twCEwYBhgL/s200/article_sparkling_water.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is the satisfying fizz of your favorite sparkling water putting you at risk for tooth decay? Because any drink with carbonation-including sparkling water-has a higher acid level, some reports have questioned whether sipping sparkling water will weaken your tooth enamel (the hard outer shell of your teeth where cavities first form).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>So, Is Sparkling Water Affecting My Teeth?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to available research, sparkling water is generally fine for your teeth-and here's why. In a study using teeth that were removed as a part of treatment and donated for research, researchers tested to see whether sparkling water would attack tooth enamel more aggressively than regular lab water. The result? The two forms of water were about the same in their effects on tooth enamel. This finding suggests that, even though sparkling water is slightly more acidic than ordinary water, it's all just water to your teeth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Tips for Enjoying Sparkling Water-and Protecting Your Teeth</b></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sparkling water is far better for your teeth than sugary drinks. In addition, be sure to drink plenty of regular, fluoridated water, too-it’s the best beverage for your teeth. Water with fluoride naturally helps fight cavities, washes away the leftover food cavity-causing bacteria feast on and keeps your mouth from becoming dry (which can put you at a higher risk of cavities). </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Be mindful of what’s in your sparkling water. Citrus-flavored waters often have higher acid levels that does increase the risk of damage to your enamel. Plan to enjoy these in one sitting or with meals. This way, you aren’t sipping it throughout the day and exposing your teeth over and over again to the slightly higher level of acid it contains.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sparkling water brands with added sugar can no longer be considered just sparkling water. They are a sugar-sweetened beverage, which can contribute to your risk of developing cavities. So remember-sparkling or not-plain water is always the best choice.</span></li>
</ul>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Invisalign Enhances Your Confidence</span></h2>
<div>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XOHCjgDAjtY/Wo-_wDJMaAI/AAAAAAAAAEA/qSFDtuYedNYRAN6Spuu9KoYul_G1OkxrgCLcBGAs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-02-22%2Bat%2B11.16.04%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="385" data-original-width="480" height="160" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XOHCjgDAjtY/Wo-_wDJMaAI/AAAAAAAAAEA/qSFDtuYedNYRAN6Spuu9KoYul_G1OkxrgCLcBGAs/s200/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-02-22%2Bat%2B11.16.04%2BPM.png" width="200" /></a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are several advantages to the Invisalign clear aligner system. The best part is that people won't know you're straightening teeth because the clearness of the aligners renders them practically invisible! Someone would have to be aware the aligners are there, or look very closely, to be able to see them. This gives you more confidence in smiling or talking while you are in treatment.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Patient comfort is another wonderful benefit with Invisalign. The aligners are one piece, without metal or wires to deal with, so you require fewer dental appointments. The lack of braces, wires, or headgear also eliminates temporary mouth irritation.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is also a convenience factor. Even though you wear the aligners all day and while sleeping, they are easily removable as necessary for eating and brushing your teeth. You can eat or drink what you want while in treatment, without food restrictions. And keeping teeth clean and plaque- free is easy, because there are no braces to get in the way of your brushing and flossing.</span><br />

A full set of replacement teeth that can be placed in your mouth, and then removed, without any kind of anchor. A partial denture can be clipped on to existing teeth and fill the space left by missing natural teeth. Other options include overdentures, where dentures snap on to implants placed in the jawbone; bridges, which use crowns to hold the replacements in place for a couple of missing teeth; and dental implants, which can permanently replace one tooth or many.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Proper oral hygiene is your key to a healthy, beautiful smile. Here are our and the American Dental Association's recommendations for at home care:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brush 2-3 times every day with a fluoride toothpaste (it doesn't matter which brand)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Floss once a day</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eat a healthy diet (fruits, vegetables, etc)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Limit consumption of sugary foods and beverages. Soda drinks can destroy teeth faster than almost anything else</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eliminate or at least limit use of alcohol, chewing tabacco, and cigarettes</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also recommend using an electric high-speed toothbrush in conjunction with a waterpik for your daily at-home oral care.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And don't forget six-month professional cleanings and checkups. The American Dental Association recommends checkups every six months for those ages four and older.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Professional cleanings by qualified hygienists will remove bacteria and plaque, which can cause serious dental problems if not kept in check.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
