Drinking Water for Oral Health

Drinking water is important for your health at all ages.  At the dental practice of Dr. Lis Bradley, DDS we have seen adult patients that are guilty of not drinking enough water, so we know it can be tough to monitor if kids are getting enough too.  We want to encourage you and the kids in your family to stay hydrated and healthy!

We all know kids love drinking juice and soda, but we forget that these beverages leave unwanted sugar behind on the teeth.  The type of bacteria that causes cavities feeds on sugar, and produces acid that wears away enamel. Enamel is not replaceable, so it’s important to take care of it even from a young age.  When kids drink juice or soda, it is helpful just to drink some water afterwards to dilute acids and wash away food particles and residue. You and your children should be drinking at least eight 8oz glasses of water each day.  Drinking tap water with fluoride is important to help prevent cavities.  If you’re worried that your children may not be drinking enough water, come see us to discuss tips that might help them drink more!

We love to see good oral hygiene habits formed early, and make lifetime patients out of kids from our community!  To learn more about the services we offer, visit www.lisbradleydds.com for more information. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Lis Bradley, DDS in Brentwood, TN, call 615-778-0810.

Preventive Oral Care

Preventive dentistry is defined as the practice of caring for your teeth to keep them healthy. Dr. Lis Bradley, DDS does this by educating her patients on the importance of oral hygiene and developing individualized treatment plans to maintain the health of teeth and gums.

The benefits of preventive oral care are endless. Having teeth extracted, filling cavities, or endodontic (root canal) therapy are a few procedures that can be avoided with preventive measures. Preventive measures in dental treatment are intended to defend the onset of dental disease; an example of this is using dental sealants to prevent cavities. Dr. Lis Bradley, DDS wants patients to know that healthy teeth and gums start at home. It’s important to brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss and least once a day. In addition to your home care routine, you should visit our office twice a year for professional cleanings.
