"Even before having the opportunity to work at Oxford Dental, I enjoyed coming here as a patient. Dr. Huggins and Linda have filled a cavity for two of my children recently (not that i am proud of the cavities), but Anna and Mac felt relaxed. Linda did a great job coaching them through the procedure. Thanks for making Oxford Dental a comfortable place for the entire family."

Questions & Answers Q&A

Q. Is it true that chocolate stains my teeth? If so, what's the best natural way to remove tooth stains?
A. "You would have to eat a lot of choclate:) Can't say that I have ever seen a patient that I would attribute their staining to eating choclate. Liquids like coffee, tea and red wine are a different stroy. Most staining come from liquids and tobacco."
Q. Can a chipped or broken tooth affect your immune system? What are the potential issues?
A. Chipped teeth can, most times, be fixed with a composite filling and will not cause any type immune response. However, when the tooth chipped, if it caused a crack or exposed the nerve of the tooth you can develope an abcess and thus an immune response. Potential issues are loss of the tooth in rare cases when a root canal does not solve the problem.
Q. Is it common to experience bleeding gums when flossing? I feel like I'm doing more harm than good because my gums will bleed when I floss but not when I just brush.
A. In most cases, bleeding gums is a sign of infection. Today more people in the US lose their teeth from gum disease than decay. So it is very important to have you teeth and gums checked on a regular basis. If caught early enough, gingivitis can be treated without any damage being done to the underlying bone. If left untreated, it advances to periodontitis where you begin to lose bone around your teeth.
