Do you see blood every time you spit while brushing your teeth? Do yours gums bleed often? And if yes what are the remedies or precautions to take in such circumstances? Questions like these and numerous ones alike have been asked time and again by our valued clientele at Texas Premier Dental. Today specifically we want to focus on weak gums and patients having in turn the problem of gingivitis.

At Texas Premier Dental many patients who come to us unfortunately are not direct sufferers of bad teeth and cavities but in fact are the victims of the resultant action of weak gums. Weak bleeding gums is a common complaint that we at Texas Premier Dental face. Time and again we have dealt with the most complicated situations resulting with weak gums however we have remained victorious in dealing with every challenging gum situation.

A disease like Leukaemia might also be the cause of persistent bleeding gums however usually the reasons for bleeding gums may include injury, mouth sores, nutritional disorders, pregnancy, blood disorders etc. Once your dentist diagnosis you as a patient having weak gums the things that you must avoid are chewy chocolates, hard crackers or hard substances to bite. Also to avoid are the extreme temperature drinks i.e. one should have liquids and food both without them being too hot or cold.

Similarly brushes with soft bristles should always be used and hard brushing should be avoided so that any undue pressure on the teeth and gums could be avoided. It is to be understood that weak gums in turn weakens the teeth causing different problems like caries, brittle teeth and overall discomfort in the mouth. At Texas Premier Dental we work day in an out to ensure that every medication and comfort we offer suits our patients’ needs perfectly.

Tell us about the gum? The chewing ones which can be kept an hour long in the mouth and makes one look like a cow feeding on the meadows! Or about those sticky gums; are they that bad of a deal? Well such and numerous such questions have been posted as important questions required to be answered on the forum of Texas Premier Dental.

Well as they say that “The only question that is stupid is the one that is not asked.” Hence definitely the question for many seem very trivial however the fact of the matter is that is has a varied complex answer.

So to answer; first of all the basic thing to be understood is that starch and sugar causes deposits on the teeth causing bacteria to infest and later result in decay. Hence anything having an excess amount of starch or sugar is said to affect negatively the oral hygiene of the recipient. So if the gum has excess of that and is used for a longer period of time it definitely causes the concern that is required.

Nevertheless sugar and starch from the gums do not emanate incessantly from the gum and after a few chews the bland taste of the sticky chewy substance is left. In fact many times just exercising your jaw and chewing the gum has a positive impact on your oral health as it helps to floss and clean the areas of your teeth which the brush and floss can’t possibly reach.

Again one concern could be chewing a lot of gums especially for those having a lot of dental fillings and crowns etc should be avoided as it may weak the foundation of the materials used to keep the fillings and crown intact. Again the simple thing to be kept in mind always is that everything within limits benefits and only overdoing something is a cause of concern.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a dentist as;

“A licensed practitioner who is skilled in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, injuries and malformations of the teeth, jaws and mouth and who makes and inserts false teeth.”

Undoubtedly a dentist by definition should have the above mentioned qualities and without the inculcation of the above mentioned qualities a dentist couldn’t truly be termed fit for the title. It is indeed the complete ability of a person to analyze the problem of the patients, give proper diagnosis and adopt skills for further aggravation prevention strategies that are requisites of a dentist. Similarly the ability to single-handedly manage a treatment operation caused due to injuries or any other accidental cause with sheer intellect and knowledge defines the calibre and potential of a good dentist.

If there is anything children dread from the very young age is the visit to the doctor! Tell a child that he/she will be taken to the doctor for a particular concern and there you go… the trauma starts just then. Worse in today’s time is the thought for children to visit the dentist. The idea of being made to sit on a suspicious mechanized chair with big searching lights to peek in the mouth with sharp objects definitely scares the hell out of young children.

Texas Premier Dental for that matter, for this particular concern has invested immensely on the pediatric department of the clinic. The clinic has a special child friendly environ which cultivates positive thoughts once the child visits.

Minor toothaches and fillings are usually done without any such discomfort for the children hence once the children are at ease there is nothing much to worry about.

Ever wondered what the people in the olden times did for tooth ache? Ever wondered if they experienced them? And did you ever wonder if there were people called dentists to help them? Well not exactly, for there was a time when people could feel the pain of a decomposed tooth or one with caries but had no help but natural elements to curb the pain or ornaments to get rid of them.


Yes times changed and today we are in an era that we have the most sophisticated methods time has ever seen to cater to the diseases and problems of any part of the body. Likewise the tooth is an important part of the body having sophisticated solutions. At Texas Premier we serve our patients and various clients with state of the art facility and top class experts and dentists for answering your problems.

Nevertheless we at Texas Premier Dental do believe in some effective natural remedies which one should always be aware of in emergency situations when help or immediate relief is not possible. First of all the simplest thing one can do in case of a tooth ache is to use salt warm water for gargling purposes. The soothing qualities of salt work miraculously for the sore gums and aching tooth.

In case if your teeth have become sensitive to the cold and hot foods then you should avoid the extreme temperatures in consumption of anything. Plus an over the counter medicated toothpaste for sensitive teeth are readily available which could be used for the purpose. Clove oil is also said to have a lot of therapeutic qualities and using a cotton bud dipped in clove oil to comfort the aching area does wonders to soothe the tooth.

Ever wonder of the toothpastes you buy? What classifies them as different?

There are many brand names available in the market but did you ever for a moment wonder which is the best suited for your set of teeth?

Well today at Texas Premier we wish to aware our dear clients of the different uses and purposes of toothpastes that are available in the market.

·Toothpastes with a high content of fluoride are effective for the treatment of teeth with a high probability of cavities. Toothpastes having sodium fluoride (NaF) are usually meant for the adults rather than young children. The high consistency of fluoride in them requires effective ability in the children to spit it out rather than swallowing the paste.

·Other toothpastes which are meant for tartar control also help in reducing the probability of tartar deposits on the teeth which harm the gum line. The paste is effective in reducing the presence of the tartar on the teeth. To reduce tartar below the gum line you require professional help. However increased use of the tartar concentrated paste could cause increased sensitivity to the tooth.

· The myth that baking soda removed stains has still not been proved. Rather than having a favorable taste there appears no significant proven result of using it.

· To treat chronic gingivitis and inflammation of gums different medicated tooth pastes are available in the market which should be used as per the consultation of your dentist.

· Whitening toothpaste consistency includes abrasive elements to whiten and brighten your teeth. Usually recommended for stain removals caused by excessive smoking, chewing tobacco and use of alcohol the concentration of these abrasive elements may cause the problem of soft tissue sores.

At Texas Premier our dentists and experts would guide you on the suitable toothpastes from the above and other categories best meant for your set of teeth.

90% of the people wouldn’t know this but trust me you will be amazed to know that it’s not those high calorie sugar content in candies causing those cavities in your teeth; it’s actually something else and has literally nothing to do with sugar!

Yes, absolutely I am all aware of what I am saying and would want to take this opportunity to present to you the major snack item which is deadly to your teeth and people sugar coated candies are not on the top of the list!

So ladies and gentlemen let me introduce you to the famous snack item i.e. the saltine crackers which are the number one havoc makers for your teeth. The starch content of these crackers is very high which causes the bacteria to feast on them and hence multiply. The simple bad breath is the reason of the excretion of waste products by these bacteria in the mouth which actually makes a person realize the gross effects of consuming these crackers.

It is actually very true that dark chocolates are not bad for teeth and if taken in moderation helps to curb cholesterol and high blood pressures. Hence there are many myths associated with the foods that cause caries on the teeth and most people are surprised to find that it’s not the sugar laden candies or chocolates but saltish fermentable crackers doing most of the damage. These crackers are not only a usual snack item at homes but we readily offer to young toddlers too.

We believe in a comfortable lifestyle to be enjoyed and want the same for our dear clients hence we at Texas Premier Dental has always taken a timely stance in offering a solution to our clients and in fact are guiding them always towards a solution for every problem.

Demineralization is the process in which the acid content in hi sugar content of food is used to destroy the enamel of the teeth causing plaque on the teeth. When you consume acidic foods the teeth are much exposed to the chance of cavities by destroying the calcium content in the teeth. The pH level lower of your mouth lower than 7 is termed as acidic while that which is higher is considered basic. Hence to know the first step that causes tooth decay is when the pH level of your mouth falls below 5.5.

At Texas Premier Dental, pamphlets and handouts have recently been published for the environmental responsibility of the incline in the number of people and especially young children who develop cavities in a very early age.

Various welfare programs have been organized by Texas Premier Dental in communicating it pictorially and theoretically to the masses of people to aware them of the side effects these hi sugar candies, fizzy drinks and various other consumable items hold.

Recent information about this concept of demineralization which erodes the calcium and other essential minerals off teeth leading to tooth decay has been given much consideration and importance. As when in very young age a child becomes prone to decay there are good chances of further destroy of the enamel leading to complicated processes of root canal, and other specialized surgeries of extraction and artificial replacements of teeth.

At Texas Premier Dental we work day in and out for the eradication of these simple issues which later in the life complicate and get bigger and then becomes difficult to reverse the effects. It is seriously advised to ban the products for children younger than the age of 5 which contain a high content of artificial sugars like fizzy drinks and artificially colored and flavored candy bars.

If the eyes speak volumes of human emotions, the smile reflects them. Your smile can lift a pensive, sad environment to a happy, joyful moment. Smiles eases the most challenging and troublesome times by lightening the mood and tension of the moment. Similarly it is a smile which forms the most strengthened bonds and unites relationships together. Texas Premier Dental believes in the power of your smile and strives to perfect it for ensuring the powerful impact it has on the recipient.

Numerous over the counter solutions like whitening tooth pastes and other smile enhancing products are available which may to a certain extent improve the overall look of the teeth but do not offer lasting benefits. They either depict a certain percentage of the result or sometimes just are not satisfactory. Few items like bleaching agents really don’t justify the overall contents of the paste or solution. At Texas Premier Dental we from the very first step take a professional stance, for whether actually what is required of your teeth.

Thanks to the development in cosmetic dentistry the number of options to improve the overall look of the teeth has multiplied manifolds. A thorough analysis of the status of the teeth of the patient would give a clear idea of the requirement of them. A whitening procedure might sometimes be all it requires with its requisite bleaching specifications to de-stain the teeth due to excessive use of caffeine, alcohol and cigarettes.

Similarly at times the space between the tooth and the misaligned teeth would require a procedure which may require the use of orthodontics or veneers to support it. Whatever the situation maybe solutions are available in the form of the most advanced veneers, lumineers, orthodontics, crowns and other laser therapies at your very own Texas Premier Dental.

Of all the pain you endure in the world, a tooth ache is a significant and very obviously noted one. A tooth ache can be sharp enough to grip your entire face, resulting in an individual in great physical and psychological pain. There can be a number of reasons for the resultant tooth ache but the most common one is the development of cavities on the tooth.


Development of cavities is a much debated topic and Texas Premier Dental has held many social awareness programs to develop understanding of personal oral hygiene. Programs specifically catering to children awareness have been carried out in various localities to enhance oral care and improve the hygiene significantly.

The development of cavities on the teeth reflects also the diet we consume. Too much sugar and starch content on the teeth could ultimately break the tooth enamel causing the bacteria to reside and infect the area causing it to decay. This decay results in tooth ache and if remain unchecked may worsen the decay and reach the pulp of the tooth Procedures like root canal treatment then become inevitable which further complicate the procedure.


A root canal treatment is like a mini tooth surgery and is finally supported with a crown. A crown if done well professionally may last a lifetime. The crown of the tooth ensures that the operated tooth is now safe from further damage. A tooth ache hence could have different significance depending on its intensity and nature.

At Texas Premier Dental we understand the variety of situations you may come across while you experience the ever irritating tooth ache. We however as promised with the state of the art equipment housed by us at the facility offer the most advanced treatment by the very experts and professionals in the field.
