Smile Help: When Food Keeps Getting Stuck During Meals!

Would you say that one of the most frustrating challenges you find yourself faced with when it comes to your smile health is the fact that you always end up with food stuck between teeth after you eat? While this might sound like “no big deal,” it can actually present you with discomfort and even leave you more susceptible to decay. Not to mention, having to always stop what you’re doing to re-perform dental hygiene is quite disruptive. So, take a moment to consider the help our Springfield, OH practice has to offer.

Do You Have Any Missing Teeth?

Are you missing any of your natural teeth? If you are, then you are already well aware that this provides food with a gathering spot. Food gets trapped here so frequently that you’re starting to wonder if perhaps the open socket has its own gravitational pull! While it can be frustrating, we remind you that we can absolutely help you with this dental hygiene concern by replacing your missing tooth or teeth. Talk with our team soon about wonderful options like dental implants.

Does Your Smile Include Small Spaces Between Teeth?

You might have what we call either “spacing” or gaps between teeth. Much like the opening left by a missing tooth, these areas also frequently become small catch basins for food and debris. If you’re tired of dealing with this issue and the fact that it makes dental hygiene so challenging, let us know. Dental bonding or veneers can work wonders by closing the spaces (or, Invisalign treatment will allow us to physically move teeth into alignment, so they touch).

Are You Drinking Water During Your Meals?

Our team reminds you that if you’re not drinking water with your meals (or at least following your meal by rinsing with water), you’re overlooking a very helpful addition to your usual dental hygiene. The force of water is helpful in clearing away debris, the moistening of food particles makes them easier to remove, and water helps clean away bacteria, too. Drink up, so the answer to whether something is lodged between your teeth is more likely to be, “Nope!”
