It may come as a surprise, but cheese is actually great for your teeth. For Vermonters who are accustomed to the proud cheese culture of the Green Mountain state, with its more than 150 varieties of cheese, this is great news! Cheese contains high levels of calcium and phosphate which naturally strengthen teeth. It also helps balance your mouth’s pH level by getting rid of excess acids, leading to fewer cavities. On top of that, the casein and whey proteins in cheese build up your tooth enamel, improving tooth density and removing excess bacteria. So, if you care about your teeth, take a bite of that Green Mountain goodness and add cheese to your daily oral hygiene routine.

As one of the healthiest states in the nation, Vermonters aren’t strangers to a nice plate of veggies. But when it comes to maintaining a teeth-friendly diet, it might help to clarify which fruits and vegetables are the best for improving your oral health. Crisp fruits and raw vegetables are the best for your teeth. They’re rich in fiber and can help clean your teeth while also stimulating saliva production—a key function that prevents cavities. Think carrots, apples, cucumbers, and celery. Leafy greens are also your friend, as they protect the gums and repair tooth enamel. So, next time you sit down to a classic, locally-sourced salad, you can think about more than just its deliciousness.

What is tooth extraction?

a
ache-remover-696

Tooth extraction or tooth removal is classified into two main types: simple extractions and surgical extractions. Understanding the difference between these types can help you prepare for your procedure. 1. Simple Extraction: This method of tooth extraction is performed on a tooth that is fully erupted in the mouth and can be removed with dental forceps with relative ease. After administering a topical anesthetic and then local anesthetic (Novocaine) to numb the area, the dentist or oral surgeon loosens the tooth by luxating it with an instrument called a straight elevator and then removes it with surgical forceps. Simple dental extraction is typically performed without the need to cut the gum, which is called raising a gingival flap in technical terminology, which is the process of making an incision in the gum and then separating the entire thickness of the gum away from the underlying bone, thereby exposing the actual jaw bone under it. This is done usually for teeth that are carious, damaged, or need to be extracted for orthodontic reasons. 2. Surgical Extraction: Surgical tooth extractions are more complex and are considered for teeth that are not easily accessible, such as impacted wisdom teeth (3rd molars) or teeth that have very little clinical crown left of them. Root tips also need to be surgically exposed sometimes. This method involves making the aforementioned incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth and the underlying bone. The tooth may be cut into smaller pieces for easy removal. Sometime it is even required to truph the bone surrounding the roots (alveolar bone). Truphing the bone is the process of cutting the alveolar bone around the tooth to loosen the roots further, usually done on roots that are significantly curved or ankylosed (adhered to the bone). Surgical dental extraction is usually performed under local anesthesia, but sedation options are also available usually for wisdom teeth removal or high anxiety patients. Surgical tooth extraction may be needed for impacted teeth that are deeply embedded in the jawbone.

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.
