The fight of the toothbrushes 🪥 ⚡️ ELECTRIC vs MANUAL 🦷 Which do you use?! 🤔 We recommend both as long as the brushing action is correct, brushing side to side roughly can cause damage to your gums leading to recession. Or, not brushing for the recommended two minutes! Ask your dentist the next time you’re in if you’re doing a good job at brushing and what they would recommend for you personally! ⚡️🪥 🦷 Moira Dental Care 77 Main Street, Moira 02892612836 ☎️

Dental instruments can tend to look daunting! Especially when you are unsure of their uses.. 😱 From left to right: ⚡️Spatula: we use this for mixing cements and temporary filling materials ⚡️Tweezers: More often than not, used to lift small items such as cotton wool rolls to dry teeth, articulating paper to check your bite or to pick up a dental bur from the instrument tray! ⚡️Probe: We use two different types, one with tiny measurements on to check the depth of recession around your gums, and one usually used to check for sticky areas on the fissures of your teeth - this is a good indication of cavities beginning in your teeth ⚡️Mirror: Used to see inside your mouth, often magnified and mirrored so we can see areas that we couldn't reach without hanging upside down and doing a back flip! 😂 If you’re ever unsure just ask, we can give you as much or as little detail as you need in order to feel comfortable and confident in our chair 🪥🦷 🦷 Moira Dental Care 77 Main Street, Moira 02892612836 ☎️

Mouth ulcers are very common. They are painful, uncomfortable sores that can appear anywhere in your mouth, though they are most commonly found on the tongue (tongue ulcers) or the insides of the mouth. They’re usually round or oval shaped and appear raised and swollen. Mouth ulcers can be red, white, yellow or grey in colour. 👄 You can have single or multiple ulcers in your mouth and they can be very tender and sore, making it uncomfortable to eat, drink or brush your teeth. Fortunately, there are mouth ulcer treatments you can try at home that can help. 🚰🪥 WHAT CAUSES MOUTH ULCERS? 🤔 Most mouth ulcers are usually caused by damage to the mouth lining, as a result of one of the following: 👅Biting your cheek or tongue 👅 Poorly fitting dentures 👅Hard, crisp, or crunchy foods that does not break down easily 👅Sharp teeth or a defective filling 👅Other possible causes can be stress, family history or eating certain foods that may trigger ulcers such as nuts, cheese, spicy foods, or wheat flour. HOW TO GET RID OF MOUTH ULCERS 🤔 Mouth ulcers normally clear up on their own within a week or so. If they’re bothering you, you can try one of the following methods: ✨Use an antimicrobial mouthwash, like Corsodyl 0.2% mouthwash, which can be used as an aid to heal recurring mouth ulcers. 🙅‍♀️Excessive force when brushing may damage the gums leading to an ulcer. Talk to your dentist about the right toothbrush for you. ✨Avoid crunchy, spicy, acidic, hot or salty food until your ulcer heals. ✨Avoid trigger foods if you find they cause ulcers. While most mouth ulcers are harmless, if you’re worried, if they last for more than three weeks, keep coming back or if they get worse, becoming more painful and red you should seek medical advice. 📞🚨 🦷 Moira Dental Care 77 Main Street, Moira 02892612836 ☎️

If your gums bleed when you brush, you may have gum disease and it could lead to bad breath, then inflamed, receding gums and, eventually tooth loss 🦷🩸 Whether you see blood in the sink when you brush occasionally or every day, you should never ignore bleeding gums. Bleeding gums tend to be caused by plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that constantly builds up around, on and in between your teeth. If plaque bacteria is not removed, it can irritate the gums, leading to change in colour, bleeding and inflammation 🪥 However, there are also a number of other reasons for bleeding gums. These include over-brushing teeth or brushing too hard, a new toothbrush or flossing routine, and some medications 💊 Regardless of what you think might be the cause of your bleeding gums, the best thing to do is speak to your dentist as soon as possible. They can investigate your symptoms and then advise on the best way to stop your bleeding gums 🗣️ 🦷 Moira Dental Care 77 Main Street, Moira 02892612836 📞

Contrary to the popular belief that tooth loss is genetic, tooth loss is largely preventable! 🥳 Tooth loss is most commonly caused by cavities, which can be avoided with proper oral hygiene 🪥🦷 With daily thorough brushing and flossing, regular dental visits, and preventative care, you can enjoy your pearly whites for a lifetime 👏🏼 Trust us with your oral health, book today 📲 🦷 Moira Dental Care 77 Main Street, Moira 02892612836 ☎️

When you vape, you’re not simply introducing nicotine into your body, which is addictive and is therefore hard to break the habit. But the vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol also present in vape liquids (among several other chemical additives) create a sticky, viscous substance that changes the bacterial makeup of your mouth. This can lead to: 🦠 Excess bacteria in the mouth, which can result in tooth decay, gum disease and gum recession. 🦠 Nicotine can inhibit the flow of blood to the gums, which can mean poor gum healing and failure or gum (periodontal) treatment and dental implants. 🦠 Dry mouth, which can lead to oral sores, tooth decay, bad breath and a reduction of your teeth’s natural bacterial buffer. 🦠 Teeth grinding. Also known as bruxism, vaping and smoking may stimulate muscular activity which can cause teeth grinding and the associated complications and discomfort associated with it. While vaping is widely agreed to be safer than smoking, medical professionals are concerned that instead of using vaping devices as a ‘stop smoking’ method, never-smokers are taking up vaping as a lifestyle choice and this may have wider health implications than just the oral ones described. Ask your dentist the next time you’re in for more information on the effects of vaping on your oral health 🚭 🦷 Moira Dental Care 77 Main Street, Moira 02892612836 📞

Toothache?! 😫 Don't suffer in silence! 🤐 A toothache refers to pain in or around your tooth. Minor toothaches can occur from a temporary gum irritation that you can treat at home. More severe toothaches result from cavities, infection or other dental conditions that won’t get better on their own. If you have a severe toothache, you’ll need professional dental treatment. There are different types of tooth pain depending on the underlying cause. Specific toothache symptoms can vary but may include: 🦷 A dull ache that doesn’t go away. 🦷 Sharp, jabbing tooth pain. 🦷 Throbbing tooth pain. 🦷 Teeth sensitivity. 🦷 Swelling in your gums. 🦷 Headaches. 🦷 Fever. 🦷 Chills. 🦷 Bad breath or bad taste. Emergency appointments are allocated at 8.30am each day based on a triage system and registered patients are given first priority 🙂 💙 Moira Dental Care 77 Main Street, Moira 02892612836 📞

Whitening your teeth with custom made trays and whitening gel is a safe and effective way to whiten your teeth at home 🦷✨ There are some points to consider before deciding if tooth whitening is for you: ✨ You’ll need to be 18 or over to have teeth whitening ✨ Your teeth and gums must be healthy, which your dentist will check during your initial consultation (This can be your routine checkup or if you are a new patient, your New Patient Consultation) ✨ It’s best to delay having your teeth whitened if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, because it’s not clear whether the whitening products can affect the baby ✨ Be aware that teeth whitening won’t lighten the colour of any crowns, veneers, bridges or dentures If you think this all sounds good, then get in touch today to book your impression appointment 👇 🦷 Moira Dental Care 77 Main Street, Moira 02892612836 📲

🙌 Visiting your dentist at recommended intervals can actually save you money! 🙌 The cost of a dental visit including your examination, xrays and hygiene clean can definitely add up - but imagine the cost of extensive dental treatment due to neglect! 🤑 During your routine checkups, the dentist is using a magnifying mirror and sometimes dental loupes (magnifying lenses) to examine your teeths enamel for any fissures or cracks that could lead to decay 🤢🦷 They will also be checking your gum health using a probe to measure the depths of pocketing around your teeth, this can show how at risk you are at gum disease or if it has already began to progress - how to slow it's roll! Gum disease can lead to many more serious issues with your health & dental cleans is often the recommended treatment plan to prevent further progression 👄👍🏻 Your dentist will take xrays, this is used to check the bone levels around the teeth, see if there is underlying infection or signs of decay in the lower part of your teeth that we can't see above gum level 🩻 Additionally, your dentist is trained to detect signs of oral cancer - which one person every three hours is lost to. They can check for the signs and symptoms, and discuss with you the risk factors that are associated with this ❌ We urge you to book your dental checkup! 👋🦷 🦷 Moira Dental Care 77 Main Street, Moira 02892612836 💙

❌ Don't skip your dental examination! ❌ We are all prone to putting things off, especially if we are experiencing no obvious issues with our teeth or gums. But, there are so many reasons why you shouldn't put your dental checkups off.. At your examination, we check for things like gum disease and oral cancer which are often hard to detect and need a trained eye to find! Mouth cancer is one of the fastest rising types of cancer and can often go undetected until your routine checkup. Gum disease can lead to receding gums and sometimes loss of teeth - but perhaps even more scarily, if left untreated can lead to problems with you heart or lungs. 🫀🫁 Been a while since you have seen a dentist?

Retainers are usually worn after orthodontic treatment, such as braces or alignment trays. After the treatment device has been removed, the teeth can move back into their original position if not reinforced by some form of retainer. Protect your investment of both time and money by making sure the retainer is worn as instructed by your orthodontist. Retainers can help treat speech impediments by adjusting tongue placement so that kids can form sounds in the correct ways as they learn to speak new words. When teeth are correctly aligned, this makes them easier to brush, floss, and clean. It also helps to improve chewing when teeth are properly aligned, and there is no overbite or underbite. When children can chew their food better, their bodies are better able to process nutrients, which results in better overall health. The mouth is also able to produce more saliva, which provides essential digestive enzymes that the body relies on to reduce plaque accumulation and prevent cavities from forming. Who knew all that could come from such a simple action you can do whilst sleeping?! 😴✨ Moira Dental Care 77 Main Street, Moira 02892612836 💖

Here are 5 reasons why you need to regularly see a dental hygienist: 1. Keep healthy gums 2. Get rid of bad breath 3. Get whiter teeth 4. Prevent oral cancer 5.

✨ Flossing tips ✨ Break off about 45cm of floss and wind some around 1 finger of each hand. Hold the floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers, with about 2.5cm of floss between them, leaving no slack. Use a gentle "rocking" motion to guide the floss between your teeth. Do not snap the floss into the gums. When the floss reaches your gumline, curve it into a C-shape against a tooth until you feel resistance. Hold the floss against the tooth. Gently scrape the side of the tooth, moving the floss away from the gum. Repeat on the other side of the gap, along the side of the next tooth. Do not forget the back of your last tooth. When flossing, keep to a regular pattern. Start at the top and work from left to right, then move to the bottom and again work from the left to right. This way you're less likely to miss any teeth.

Improves appearance 😄 Prevents gum disease ✅ Reduces your chance of developing heart disease 🫀 Stops tooth decay between teeth 🦷 Freshens your breath 🫧 Patience and determination are the key to flossing, but if you are concerned that you may not be flossing your best - book an appointment with our hygienist Alfa to find out more information on how to properly care for your teeth & gums! ☎️ Moira Dental Care 77 Main Street, Moira 02892612836 💖

Dental x-rays enable us to see the tips of your teeth roots and bone underneath your gums (which are not visible to the naked eye). Dental x-rays are used within a routine examination to rule out dental disease, and they also help us diagnose any dental problems you may be experiencing 👀 🦷 Digital bite-wing x-rays: The radiation exposure from standard digital dental x-rays is very minimal, with a dosage of 0.001 mSv. ✈️ Air Travel: A cross-country flight from New York to Los Angeles comes with a dosage of 0.04 mSv. Any flight can come with radiation exposure. Going to Disney World? Expect to be exposed to .0099mSv. 🗺️ Specific Destinations: Spend a mere three days in Atlanta (or only two days in Denver,) and you will receive the same amount of radiation exposure as you would receive from your annual dental x-rays. 🏡 Your Home: Living in a brick, stone or concrete house has an annual dosage of 0.007 mSv. Love your granite countertops? The estimated annual radiation dose from spending four hours daily in a kitchen with granite countertops ranges from 0.005 to 0.18 mSv/a (based on the type of granite). 🍔 Foods: The radiation dose you receive from food on an annual basis is equal to about 60 dental x-rays! Here is a list of some of the foods with the highest levels of radiation: Brazil nuts Lima beans Bananas White potatoes Carrots Red meat … and even beer! Within your daily life, you experience small doses of radiation exposure from cell phones, smart watches and household devices. These appliances and devices make our lives easier, safer and more enjoyable. The pros certainly outweigh the cons – as they do for routine dental x-rays. 📍 Moira Dental Care, 77 Main St, Moira ☎️ 02892612836 📧 info@moiradentalcare.com 👩‍💻 www.moiradentalcare.com

DENTAL IMPLANTS 🦷 Getting an implant can take anywhere from 6-18 months ⭐️ 1️⃣ The first stage in the process is your implant chat, this will give you a good indication of what an implant is & if you would be a good candidate 2️⃣ The second stage is an assessment appt. At this visit we take impressions for models, photos, measurements etc to send off to our dental lab. We then sometimes refer you off for a CT scan depending on where your implant is being placed. 3️⃣ When we have the results of the above, we bring you back for a surgical appointment where we place the implant under the gum. This is then left for several months in order to fuse with the bone & be one with the body. 4️⃣ Once we are happy with how the implant has fused, we will bring you back to take impressions for the final structure. 5️⃣ Then three weeks later we fit your final crown on top of the implant structure! 👑 This is a very basic breakdown of the process, sometimes there are other treatments required to get you the best & longest lasting results but this will all be discussed with you throughout your treatment. At your initial examination you should expect a guide price as to what we expect implant treatment to cost you personally! 🏷️ Payments are spread throughout the course of treatment but we also offer finance options in order to ease the cost even further 🧡 To get a personalised quote, book in with Lorraine for an implant chat today 📲 Moira Dental Care 77 Main Street, Moira 02892612836 💖📞
