August 31 - September 6, 2016 www.TheTownCommon.com Page Health & Wellness By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD Dental decay (caries) is still very prevalent in today’s society. There are many factors that contribute to dental decay. In addition, there are some people who are more susceptible to decay than others. In an article in the Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA), sugar-sweetened beverages, one of the main culprits for dental decay, was discussed. Dental decay is a multifactorial disease characterized as an infectious process during which carbohydrates are fermented by specific oral bacteria at the tooth surface. This results in acid production and enamel breakdown. It should be noted that the beverages described in this column are not the only things that lead to dental decay. Anything rich in carbohydrates or with high acidity can lead to decay. In addition, the right bacteria, genetics, improper home care, and salivary flow are all contributing factors. With regards to beverages specifically, as described in the JADA article, the main carbohydrate additives to note are sugar, lactose, high-fructose corn When it’s time to sign up for Medicare, we’re advised to start three months in advance. That three months might not be enough time to get all the information you need. Your enrollment period is three months before and three months after the month you turn age 65. Start by going online to www. medicare.gov and look at the drop-down menus under What Medicare Covers and Your Medicare Costs. One thing to consider (and it takes the most time) is whether you need a Medicare Advantage Brighter Smiles... Do You Have a Decay Problem? syrup, sucrose, fructose, glucose, maltodextrin, and honey. The beverages to watch for containing these are milk – yes milk, flavored milk, 100 percent fruit juice and vegetable juice, soda, juice drinks, sports drinks, flavored water, flavored tea and coffee, energy drinks, smoothies, and nutritional supplements. People usually consume multiple beverages daily. As I have mentioned in past columns, one of the worst things you can do is to drink these kinds of beverages slowly throughout the day. Constant introduction of carbohydrates over a prolonged period feed bacteria and never allow the saliva to neutralize the oral environment. If you have decreased salivary production this makes the situation much worse. Here is a list of recommendations as stated in the JADA article: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Consume these types of beverages at meals only Limit these types of beverages to once per day and to 12 ounces Consume these beverages within a 15-minute time frame Using a straw is preferable Replace these sugary beverages with artificially sweetened or unsweetened beverages Brush teeth with fluoridated Senior Scene toothpaste 20 minutes after intake 7. Chew sugar free gum immediately after intake 8. Rinse mouth with water immediately after intake Changing our habits is difficult but dental decay is preventable. Following the guidelines above and practicing good oral hygiene can prevent the most common reasons for decay. Most people have plenty of room for improvement with their oral hygiene. Back to school homework: Assess your daily beverage consumption and make any changes necessary to comply with the above information – especially if you are prone to dental decay. And, before your next dental appointment, clean your teeth the way you normally do. At the beginning of your appointment ask your hygienist or dentist to assess how well you are doing at plaque removal. You will be surprised at what you are missing.
