Dental Implants: What Your Dentist Hasn’t Told You

Image
A female dental patient became a “migrant” between multiple dental offices for months. Several clinics declined to treat her one after another. They were reluctant to take over a failed implant that had been performed elsewhere, or unable to heal her inflamed teeth. Certainly, the patient suffered unspeakably. She couldn’t eat normally—the implant location in her mouth kept getting infected and festering.  At last, after great effort, the patient met with Dr. Ming-Ko Li, executive director of the Association of Asian Reconstructive Dentistry and head of Ricon Dental Clinic in Taiwan.

Best Mouthwashes 2022: Bad Breath, Cavities and COVID-19

Brushing and flossing are the cornerstones of a good oral health routine, but it turns out this duo should really be a trinity. Mouthwash is an important final step in any routine, and California-based dentist  Joseph Field , DDS, recommends using it at least once a day—and ideally every time you brush.  Rinsing with mouthwash not only helps release food particles and neutralize odors, but it also plays an important role in preventing plaque. That's because mouthwash kills bacteria, cosmetic dentist  Brian Harris , DDS, tells Health. Although it's a natural part of the mouth's ecosystem, bacteria can turn into plaque when mixed with sugary or starchy foods, according to the  Cleveland Clinic . If it's not removed when soft, the plaque can harden and cause serious  oral health  concerns, like cavities or even gingivitis ( a.k.a inflammation of the gums ).
