We are so glad you are considering Your Downtown Dentistry for your family’s oral health needs.

Myths About The Dentist And Dental Hygiene
Now that we’ve gotten some of the formalities out of the way (we would be remiss if we failed to inform our prospective patients about our first-visit specials), let’s move onto what we will be discussing in today’s post – myths about dental hygiene and going to the dentist! As is the case with many topics, there is a good deal of misinformation on this topic that can be found on the internet. We thought we would do our due diligence and “bust” a few of the more popular myths out there. So read on if you would like some practical information that might contribute to your oral health, or perhaps you just want a couple of random facts that might impress your friends, should the opportunity arise!
Myth: Baby Teeth Require No Dental Checkups
This is a dangerous myth to believe, so don’t. While we are talking about family dentistry in Orlando, let’s talk about checkup recommendations for young children. It is absolutely untrue that children do not need to see the dentist until their adult teeth come in. While it is true that structural damage to baby teeth is “temporary”, it remains an obviously true statement to say that a child shouldn’t suffer through a cavity, a chipped tooth, an infection, or the like. Beyond that, decay and damage can adversely affect the long-term gum health, so there is another reason for you to use. The long and the short of it is simple: find a children’s dentist, and take your kids to the pediatric dentist as soon as you start to see their little baby teeth peak out!
Myth: If You Have Bad Breath, That Means You Have Gum Disease
Contrary to this belief, bad breath is not a guarantee that you have gum disease. Although it should be said that having bad breath is sometimes an indicator that you have gum disease, it is one of many. The only way that you can be sure about such a situation is if you go to see your friendly dentist in Orlando. We recommend ourselves (Your Downtown Dentistry), believe it or not.
Bad breath could be coming from any number of places. It might be from a lack of flossing and teeth brushing or it could be a symptom of acid reflux. It might be something else, too. Consider talking to both your dentist and physician if you need to get to the root of the matter.
Myth: Teeth Whitening Damages Your Enamel
Unless you are using an inordinate amount of over-the-counter teeth whitening products (like strips, pastes, or trays), it is highly unlikely that teeth whitening products will damage your enamel. This is because the active ingredients found in these products, such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, oxidize your teeth to remove stains only on the surface of your enamel. We should say that some develop a degree of tooth sensitivity when receiving teeth whitening treatment, but this is the exception more than the rule. As is the case with most things, moderation is key in this instance.
Keep in mind that we at Your Downtown Dentistry have a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments, which include teeth whitening, DURAthin Prepless Veneers, smile design, and more. If and when you come visit us for an exam and teeth cleaning, make sure you ask your dentist about our teeth whitening options!
Myth: Brushing Your Teeth More Than Once Per Day Can Be Harmful
We aren’t quite sure who believes this, but we felt compelled to set the record straight nonetheless. Excluding extemporaneous circumstances, most dentists will recommend using a soft toothbrush if you are worried about brushing being harmful to your enamel or gums. Utilizing that approach will likely solve any sensitivity issues you might be having.
