When was the last time you looked into the mirror, and liked the reflection that was staring back at you?

Do You Need A Dental Prosthesis?
A dental prosthetic is a custom-created device that replaces your missing teeth. There are different types of dental prostheses. Although if you have one missing tooth or two missing teeth, especially if they are in the back of your mouth and not next to one another, it may seem easy to avoid replacing them, if you do not replace missing teeth, problems are likely to arise due to shifting, misalignment, and a bad bite. Therefore, if you have missing teeth you will need a dental prosthesis. Learn more about the types of prostheses below.
Can Pregnancy Affect Your Oral Health?
The answer is yes. Any hormonal changes can have an effect on your oral health, and pregnancy is rife with hormonal changes. A surge in hormones can exaggerate the way your gingival tissue reacts to the bacterial plaque that forms on your teeth and along your gumline. So, if you’re pregnant and are wondering if it can affect your oral health, the answer is a resounding yes!

Do we pick it up and put it into our mouths without thinking about it? Not in most cases. In most cases, we go by the 10 second rule or the 3 second rule, or the definitely don’t eat it once it hits the floor rule. Do you ever think about the state of your toothbrush? Well you should. Here are some ways to care for your toothbrush. Also, here at Newman Dental we would like to remind you that the new year is a great time for a new toothbrush!

Is Your Baby Teething?
Your baby is born with their twenty primary teeth already in place below their gum line just waiting to break through. When their primary teeth begin to erupt, it is referred to as teething. Your baby may start teething as early as three months of age, and when they begin teething it is usually not hard to tell. Babies like to gnaw on their hands or any hard surface that they can fit into their mouth. They may be irritable during the day, whiny, cry, and experience sleepless nights. This may cause you to be irritable and cranky, too! Here’s what to expect when your baby begins teething.
