1. Is this an incipient lesion?
2. Can it be remineralized first and then reevaluated?

An incipient lesion is the earliest stage of tooth decay …meaning the cavity is still in the enamel and has not passed the outer 1/3 of the dentin.

At this stage, the lesion can often be remineralized and arrested, which means stopping the cavity from progressing without drilling.

Yes, some dentists may recommend a filling early, but if the decay hasn’t advanced, there may be an opportunity to strengthen the tooth naturally first.

The goal is to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible 🪥✨

Always ask questions and understand your options.

Ever wonder why some people have white “squares” on their teeth after braces come off? 👀

Those white spots are called decalcification lesions …they happen when plaque and bacteria sit around the edges of brackets for long periods of time. The acids produced by that bacteria pull minerals out of the enamel, leaving behind those chalky white areas once the braces are removed.

The good news? These spots are often maintained in the early stages with proper hygiene, professional cleanings, fluoride, and remineralization treatments. ✨

That’s why keeping up with your cleanings during orthodontic treatment is so important , it helps remove buildup in the areas your toothbrush can miss and protects your enamel for the long run.

Healthy teeth + straight teeth = the goal.

Orthodontic treatment…whether it’s Invisalign or traditional braces, creates more areas for plaque and bacteria to build up. And when that buildup sits too long, inflammation can follow.

That’s why routine cleanings every 3 months during treatment are so important…it’s about protecting your gums, and keeping your treatment on track.

Your smile is moving… make sure your oral health is too 🦷

How often are you staying on top of your cleanings during treatment?

✨🦷 IT’S PLAQUE FRIDAYS 🦷✨

Sharing kisses, utensils, or spoons can transfer oral bacteria. Some bacteria linked to gum (periodontal) disease can be passed through saliva, which is why oral health on both sides matters more than most people realize.

Healthy habits start at home with brushing and flossing—but professional cleanings every 6 months help remove buildup you can’t see and keep your gums and smile in top shape.

Take care of your smile and the people you share it with. 🦷

Here’s why 👇🏾

🦷 The tongue moves on its own during cleanings because it’s guided by natural reflexes.

💪🏾 It tries to “help” by protecting your mouth, even when you don’t want it to.

💜 That’s why it always seems to wiggle its way into the “danger” zone.

One of the biggest misconceptions in dentistry is that a tooth can’t get a cavity once it’s been ground down for a crown.

The truth? What we worry about is decay developing underneath or around the margins of the crown where bacteria can sneak in.

The challenge is that these cavities are often hidden from view. By the time we can see decay underneath a crown on an X-ray, it’s usually already progressed significantly. In many cases, what shows up on the X-ray is just the tip of the iceberg.

That’s why regular checkups, quality home care, and monitoring existing crowns are so important.
