Tooth Truths
The naked truth about teeth and dentistry.
Truth
Opt for fresh fruit as a snack rather than dried
fruits, which can stick to teeth and create
harmful plaque acids.
Truth
If you’re pregnant or planning to be, see your
dentist. Changing hormone levels can aggravate
some dental problems.
Truth
Desensitizing toothpaste works. It contains
compounds that help block sensations on the tooth
surface before they reach its nerve.
Truth
Keep your gums healthy; you may lessen the risk
of diabetes and heart disease.
Truth
Tooth enamel is the hardest material in
the human body.
Truth
About 25 percent of adult Americans have no teeth.
Did You Know?
Dental pain is a thing of the past. Cranston orthodontist
Cosmo Haralambidis uses a high-tech dental pain eraser that
zaps irritated gums with low-level electrical impulses,
resulting in immediate relief.
Truth
Silver fillings can last many years; replacing
them for aesthetic reasons can weaken the tooth
and may not be covered by insurance.
