 Arthritis is a joint inflammation condition that causes pain and stiffness, and people with arthritis may have difficulty moving freely and performing daily activities—including oral hygiene. However, don’t let limited mobility prevent you from receiving the proper oral care you need. It’s Arthritis Awareness Month, and Lone Tree dentist Dr. Angela Osborn wants to explain how you can maintain a healthy mouth with arthritis.
Helpful Hygiene Tools
Stiff joints and muscles can make it difficult to hold a toothbrush or dental floss. People with arthritis may not be able to maneuver their dental products to reach all areas of their mouth. Fortunately, a full range of hygiene products are available to assist your needs. If you have problems brushing, consider using an electric toothbrush. Electric brushes usually have large, long handles that are easier to grip. The powered spinning head also requires less manual force from the user. Additionally, floss holders make it easier to hold dental floss and reach between your teeth. Furthermore, if you have trouble cleaning at home, Dr. Osborn and your Lone Tree dental hygienists can professionally clean your mouth.
 As a cosmetic dentist in Lone Tree, Dr. Angela Osborn is dedicated giving you the bright smile you deserve. Tooth discolorations can range from yellow to gray to black. But the location of the stain depends on how well your teeth will brighten. Dr. Osborn explains the different types of tooth stains and how they affect your smile.
What are Extrinsic Stains?
Extrinsic stains occur on the outside surface of your teeth. Your teeth are porous and can absorb the color from the foods and drinks you consume. In fact, coffee, soda, wine, blueberries, blackberries, tea, tomato sauce, and balsamic vinaigrette are some of the top tooth-stainers. Additionally, plaque deposits can attach to your tooth enamel and begin to yellow your teeth. Smoke inhalation and the tannins in tobacco can also stain the surface of your teeth.
