Does Sugar Cause Cavities?
This is an age-old question we hear from many of our patients, and our answer may surprise you. Sugar in itself isn’t bad for your teeth — it’s what the combination of sugar and bacteria in your mouth do that is harmful to your teeth. When you eat something sugary, little bits of the sugar stick to your teeth, hiding in the cracks and crevices. While this in and of itself doesn’t matter too much, the real problem is that our mouths also harbor the strep bacteria in those same little cracks and crevices.

Invisalign® Offers a Discreet Teeth Straightening Option
Dr. Keith Kelley is a cosmetic dentist equally dedicated to the aesthetics and health of the teeth. Teeth that are crooked and unevenly spaced are not only cosmetically flawed, but are also difficult to clean, increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Patients with a misaligned bite are also more likely to clench or grind the teeth, habits that can result in tooth damage and TMJ disorder. It is for these health reasons that orthodontic treatment is highly recommended when the bite is off, the teeth are crooked, and/or spacing is uneven.
