Every Mouth Is Different: Oral Hygiene Tailored to You!
No two of us are alike. We all have our own smiles, speech patterns, eye and hair colorings. But we're just now beginning to learn how unique our mouth environments really are. Turns out, they're as distinctively different as fingerprints.
One patient can go a year between checkups, while another might need to return as often as every six weeks for teeth cleaning. The difference? The unique bacterial/chemical mix of each person's mouth. Professionally we call these differences "individualization."
Tartar builders, cavity creators
"Individualization" accounts for the fact that some mouths are genetically and chemically programmed to create tartar buildups, while others barely produce tartar at all. These genetic "signatures" even extend to tooth decay. There are patients who - despite their best efforts - appear cavity susceptible.
Older patients, special needs
Mouths, like people, are affected by years as well as by genes. If you're over 60, your oral chemistry is changing - and thorough examinations of gums and salivary glands can be a lifesaving early detector of oral cancer or other disease.
Patients over 55 develop twice as many cavities as children do. Many times that's because medications seniors take reduce saliva flow and dry the mouth - an open invitation for tooth decay and periodontal disease.
What should you expect from a visit to your dental hygienist? Along with your dental cleaning you may need professional scaling and root planing to remove harmful plaque and calculus deposits. He or she may also record the depths of your periodontal pockets (that space between your teeth and gums where decay and periodontal disease flourish).
Keeping track of you is a key part of the hygienist's job. It includes keeping your dental chart and health history current, making preliminary oral inspections, and creating tooth impressions.
Your hygienist is also an educator - someone who can teach you preventive dentistry skills - brushing and flossing techniques that make for healthy, trouble-free gums and teeth. Together, you two can make an unbeatable team!

Oral Cancer And Smokeless Tobacco
"Dip" ... quot;Chew" ... "Pinch" ... quot;Snuff" ... "Dirt" ... "Plug" ... all are different names for smokeless tobacco, a finely ground version of processed tobacco. No matter the name, smokeless tobacco is harmful and puts your health at risk. Chew on these facts:
- About 30,000 new cases of oral cancer will be diagnosed in 1999.*
- More than 8,000 oral cancer patients will die this year.
- Tobacco products cause about 75% of oral cancers affecting the mouth, tongue, lips, throat, and parts of the nose and larynx.
- Nearly 30 cancer-causing substances have been found in smokeless tobacco.
- One can of smokeless tobacco a day delivers as much nicotine as 60 cigarettes!
- You have a 50% greater risk of developing oral cancer with long-term use of smokeless tobacco.
* Cancer Facts and Figures, American Cancer Society, 1999
Smokeless tobacco has been glorified over time by images of quot;macho" men performing feats of fame and prowess, whether as athletes, rodeo cowboys, or country music stars. In reality, many want to kick the habit, but nicotine is addictive. It's hard for them to quit.
In a survey of major league baseball players, more than a third reported they had mouth sores, white patches, or gum problems. Nearly 60% said they wanted to quit. The nicotine actually decreases performance, causing dizziness and slowed reaction time.
Smokeless tobacco causes problems for your oral health:
- White, leathery patches in your mouth or lips
- Painful sores that may be pre-cancerous or cancerous
- Yellow teeth and permanent tobacco-stained teeth
- Exposed tooth roots from receding gums, likely to cause decay, sensitive teeth and pain
- Cavities from the sugar added to the tobacco
- Bad breath
- Greater risk for developing oral cancer
Additionally, smokeless tobacco can affect your general health causing:
- Increased blood pressure and heart rate
- A greater risk of heart attack
- Withdrawal symptoms ranging from headaches, moodiness, and problems concentrating when you try to quit
- Cancer that can be fatal
If you use smokeless tobacco, chew all these facts over. Choose to quit. Your health is serious business. Talk to your dentist about getting help to quit. Make the right choice -- it's for your body, your health, and maybe even your life.
