They consist of cerinate feldspathic pressable porcelain, which is very thin but strong. Patients can opt for this product when the teeth are healthy but cosmetically flawed to achieve a whiter, more perfect smile.</p>\n<p>This treatment is ideal for patients with stained or discolored teeth and restores worn-down or chipped teeth. They can also eliminate spaces and gaps and align crooked teeth.

A benefit of Lumineers is that they require little to no tooth grinding or reduction compared to other methods. These cosmetic coatings are constructed from super-strong, stain-resistant porcelain.</p>\n<p>Our team works with patients to color match the coating to their natural teeth to achieve a natural-looking smile. They take less preparation and dental work than traditional veneers and can last a long time. With proper care, Lumineers can last from 10 to 20 years. While a great option for many, some patients may need more extensive dental work or thicker veneers that cover their tooth issues. Additionally, patients who grind their teeth, bite their nails, or do not practice good oral hygiene may not benefit from Lumineers.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 lumineers v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"lumineers v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about benefits of lumineers\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"They take less preparation and dental work than traditional veneers and can last a long time.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 lumineers v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"lumineers v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about lumineers treatment details\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"during-the-lumineer-procedure\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Lumineers Treatment Details</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>The process of fitting Lumineers takes about two appointments.

Patients then choose the perfect shade they want for their Lumineers.</p>\n<p>Once we collect the impressions, we will send them to the lab where technicians create the custom Lumineers. When the Lumineers are ready, the patient will return for a fitting. There is typically no preparation needed for the teeth. The dentist will have the patient try them on to check for fit and then individually bond them to each tooth.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 lumineers v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"lumineers v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about lumineers treatment details\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Once treatment starts, we will take upper and lower impressions of the patient’s teeth and makes molds of the mouth and teeth.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 lumineers v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"lumineers v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Lumineers services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"lumineers-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Lumineers in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Lumineers\">Lumineers in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS lumineers v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"lumineers v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about the effects of lumineers\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"are-lumineers-removable\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">The Effects of Lumineers</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>The placement of Lumineers does not involve removing any of the tooth’s healthy structure.

Veneers</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Lumineers are a specific type of veneer. While they both cover teeth to help them appear whiter and straighter, there are some key differences between the two that people should consider. Lumineers are much thinner than traditional veneers, making them feel lighter and more natural.</p>\n<p>However, their thin structure means that Lumineers cannot cover teeth with dramatically dark stains on them as veneers can. The process of applying veneers is more lengthy and invasive than for Lumineers since the removal of the tooth’s surface must occur during preparation. This modification of teeth makes veneers permanent, while Lumineers are typically removable.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS5 lumineers v1 Service Page Section 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ5\" id=\"lumineers v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about lumineers vs. veneers\"><!-- Pull quote block 5 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Lumineers are much thinner than traditional veneers, making them feel lighter and more natural.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ5 lumineers v1 Service Page Pull Quote 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-mute SPFAQ\" id=\"lumineers v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Frequently asked questions related to Lumineers\"><!-- Service Page FAQ -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How much do Lumineers cost?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">The cost of Lumineers depends on many different factors.

Many people also suffer from teeth clenching and grinding, especially at night. This leads to excessive wear and tear on the teeth, jaw pain, and severe headaches. A mouth guard covers the top teeth and separates them from the bottom teeth to prevent grinding and alleviate muscle tension caused by clenching.</p>\n<p>People who have braces or other fixed dental appliances can also use mouth guards. Typically a mouth guard covers just the upper teeth, but patients can also receive one for braces on the lower teeth. A mouth guard remains especially important for anyone who has braces and participates in sports. Due to the metal brackets and braces, a hit to the face can lead to a significant injury to the mouth’s soft tissues.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 mouth-guards v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"mouth-guards v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the right candidate for a mouth guard\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Dental mouth guards are appropriate for both children and adults and can keep teeth protected from a variety of risks.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 mouth-guards v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"mouth-guards v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about creating a custom mouth guard\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"custom-mouth-guard\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Creating a Custom Mouth Guard</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>The ideal mouth guard should be fitted to the patient’s mouth, stay in place comfortably and securely, and be relatively easy to clean.

Like anything new, it may take a few days to get used to sleeping with it in place. As long as the mouth guard is comfortable and fits well, it should not take long to adjust. Patients must dedicate themselves to wearing their mouth guard consistently to experience its health benefits. Sporadic use will make the adjustment period harder and will be counterproductive to correcting the health problem.</p>\n<p>Patients with dental mouth guards designed for wear during physical activity should wear them every time they participate in an activity that puts them at risk for injury to their mouth or teeth. Often, athletes take out their mouth guards and chew on them, which can cause them to break down or deform. Patients should follow all care instructions to keep them from wearing out prematurely.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 mouth-guards v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"mouth-guards v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about when to wear a mouth guard\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Patients must dedicate themselves to wearing their mouth guard consistently to experience its health benefits.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 mouth-guards v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"mouth-guards v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Mouth Guards services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"mouth-guards-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Mouth Guards in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Mouth-Guards\">Mouth Guards in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS mouth-guards v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"mouth-guards v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about a treatment for sleep apnea and snoring\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"patients-who-snore-or-have-sleep-apnea\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">A Treatment for Sleep Apnea and Snoring</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Patients who snore or have mild to moderate sleep apnea <a title=\"Read more about Mouth Devices for Sleep Apnea\" href=\"https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/sleep-apnea/mouth-devices-for-sleep-apnea\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Mouth-Guards\">may benefit from a dental mouth guard</a>.

Dentures do not cost as much as implants and do not require the extensive surgery that comes with implants. Dentures come in partial and full varieties. For multiple missing teeth, removable dentures make sense.</p>\n<p>Dentures consist of a gum-colored acrylic base with artificial teeth attached. The teeth are made of metal, covered in plastic. This apparatus looks like natural teeth and allows the patient to smile without embarrassment and easily eat solid foods again. The patient needs to brush the dentures daily and rinse them after each meal. Our team can recommend whether to use a solution. If a solution is advised, the appliance should be soaked overnight.</p>\n<p>The challenge with dentures is that this option is not as durable as some counterparts. Dentures can crack or break easily. In addition, dentures are sometimes uncomfortable for patients. According to the <a title=\"Read more about Denture Care and Maintenance\" href=\"https://www.ada.org/en/member-center/oral-health-topics/dentures\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Multiple-Teeth-Replacement-Options\">American Dental Association</a>, denture adhesives are not recommended for poor fitting dentures, those should be relined or replaced.

If a patient is missing several teeth in a row, a fixed bridge can bring relief. A bridge replaces one tooth or multiple teeth with artificial teeth by joining them to crowns on either side of the gap.</p>\n<p>A dental bridge requires two or more visits. The initial consultation involves X-rays and impressions, as well as a dental exam. At the next appointment, the dentist will place the artificial teeth in the gap and attach them to the crowns. There may be some adjustments to ensure there is a good, comfortable fit. The bridge provides patients with a natural look.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 multiple-teeth-replacement-options v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"multiple-teeth-replacement-options v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about fixed bridge\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Appropriately named, this multiple teeth replacement option bridges the gap in a person\'s mouth.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 multiple-teeth-replacement-options v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"multiple-teeth-replacement-options v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about implants\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"what-is-involved-in-getting-implants\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Implants</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Implants are among the most popular multiple teeth replacement options available.

These go to a lab where a technician custom-makes the implants. The dental professional will then numb the patient, make an incision in the gums, and insert a screw deep into the jawbone. The patient will undergo a healing process before our team can move onto the next step, which can take several months. Then, an abutment, or a post, will attach to the screw and the dentist will place the false top on the post.</p>\n<p>Implants are made of titanium and can last for 20 years or longer.

A night guard can help if you struggle to stop grinding or clenching your teeth. Customized night guards adapt to your dental needs and mouth shape. Night guards gently cushion your jaws during sleep and prevent dental damage.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">Dental night guards are available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. Each custom-fitted mouth protector is designed to ease bruxism symptoms, a condition that results from tooth grinding. Over time, bruxism can lead to chipped teeth and jaw misalignment. Night guards help prevent these troublesome dental problems.

These devices indeed serve a similar purpose. Mouthguards protect teeth during physical activities like football or boxing. Dentists often recommend mouthguards to athletes and active adults.</p>\n<p>Night guards protect against bruxism, or grinding and clenching the teeth during sleep. Nighttime teeth grinding can cause severe dental damage.

Without treatment, the damage can progress, and some patients may need dental surgery. Night guards can help protect bruxism patients from permanent dental damage.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">How Often to Wear Your Night Guard</h3>\n<p>It is vital to wear a night guard consistently to protect against tooth damage.

An evaluation will factor in a person\'s medical history, the severity of oral health conditions, and how many teeth are missing to decide on the preferred treatment option. Options our team might recommend include:\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Dentures:</b> These can be full or partial. Dentures are removable and made to look like natural teeth</li>\n<li><b>Implants:</b> This process takes longer than other options, but implants are more durable. Implants work well for patients who are missing multiple teeth</li>\n<li><b>Bridges:</b> As <a title=\"Read more about Dental Health and Bridges\" href=\"https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/dental-health-bridges#1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Options-for-Replacing-Missing-Teeth\">an article on WebMD</a> explains, this treatment fixes artificial teeth to crowns over natural teeth. Bridges can stop surrounding teeth from shifting.</li>\n</ul>\n</p>\n<p>All treatment options have benefits and challenges. Therefore, it is essential for both the patient and the dentist to openly discuss what is available. Then decide on the right fit.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 options-for-replacing-missing-teeth v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"options-for-replacing-missing-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about available treatments\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"An evaluation will factor in a person\'s medical history, the severity of oral health conditions, and how many teeth are missing to decide on the preferred treatment option.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 options-for-replacing-missing-teeth v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"options-for-replacing-missing-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about durability comparison of tooth replacement options\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"what-is-the-most-durable-option\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Durability Comparison of Tooth Replacement Options</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Durability is a critical factor when choosing a long-term treatment option. How long something will last impacts the time it takes out of your life and how much it will cost. The last thing a patient wants is to return to the office every couple of years for more dental work treating the same issues.</p>\n<p>Implants are the most durable option. According to an article in <a title=\"Read more about Dental implants\" href=\"https://www.healthline.com/health/dental-and-oral-health/missing-teeth#implants\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Options-for-Replacing-Missing-Teeth\">Healthline</a>, this is the main advantage of dental implants. These titanium false teeth can last up to 20 years with proper care and maintenance. Implants also replace a tooth\'s roots and can make this system as stable as natural roots.</p>\n<p>Bridges will not last as long as implants, but this combination of artificial teeth, crowns, and natural teeth can serve a patient well for a decade or longer. It is not removable, but routine visits with your doctor will help monitor the bridge for wear.</p>\n<p>Dentures are a moderately durable option and typically require replacement more often than implants and bridges. Patients will need to replace them every seven to eight years. However, the patient should be able to eat most foods with dentures.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 options-for-replacing-missing-teeth v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"options-for-replacing-missing-teeth v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about durability comparison of tooth replacement options\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"The last thing a patient wants is to return to the office every couple of years for more dental work treating the same issues.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 options-for-replacing-missing-teeth v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"options-for-replacing-missing-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about the role of age on replacing missing teeth\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"how-does-age-affect-your-options\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">The Role of Age on Replacing Missing Teeth</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Regardless of a person\'s age, it is vital to have functioning teeth. Missing teeth makes chewing more difficult, can weaken oral health, and can affect appearance. Our staff will consider a person\'s age when deciding what option for replacing missing teeth is right. For example, older patients may not be concerned about a solution that will last for 20 years and beyond. Older adults may prefer dentures for this reason and because it takes less work to clean.</p>\n<p>Conversely, young patients are more active and may find themselves in more social situations. For this reason, they may prefer to choose implants. Also, younger patients are more likely to be in good overall health. Overall oral and physical health is an important criteria for being a good candidate for dental implants.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 options-for-replacing-missing-teeth v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"options-for-replacing-missing-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the role of age on replacing missing teeth\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Regardless of a person\'s age, it is vital to have functioning teeth.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 options-for-replacing-missing-teeth v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"options-for-replacing-missing-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Options for Replacing Missing Teeth services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"options-for-replacing-missing-teeth-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Options for Replacing Missing Teeth in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Options-for-Replacing-Missing-Teeth\">Options for Replacing Missing Teeth in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS options-for-replacing-missing-teeth v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"options-for-replacing-missing-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about choosing the right options for replacing missing teeth\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"what-should-you-consider\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Choosing the Right Options for Replacing Missing Teeth</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>It is beneficial to understand the different treatment options.

There are two categories of oral cancer: those that affect the oral cavity (lips, teeth, gums, front two-thirds of the tongue, floor and roof of the mouth, and inside of the lips and cheeks) and those that affect the oropharynx (middle region of the throat, including tonsils and the base of the tongue).</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How can I decrease my chances of getting oral cancer?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">As of yet, there are no proven ways of completely preventing oral cancer. However, a general healthful lifestyle may help minimize your chances. Reducing your alcohol consumption, along with stopping or avoiding any tobacco use, may prevent exposing the cells in the mouth to any dangerous chemicals. Keeping an everyday sun protection regimen that involves putting sunscreen on your lips can also help, as can regular dental checkups.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What are the stages of oral cancer?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">There are four stages of oral cancer. In stage 1 oral cancer, the tumor is at or under 2 centimeters in size, and the cancer has not spread to the lymph nodes. In stage 2 oral cancer, the tumor is at or under 4 centimeters in size, and the cancer has not spread to the lymph nodes. In stage 3 oral cancer, the tumor could be larger than 4 centimeters but not spread to the lymph nodes. Alternatively, the tumor has spread to one lymph node but not any other parts of the body. In stage 4 oral cancer, the tumor can be any size, and the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Oral cancer screenings can catch \"stage 0\" cancer when cells have yet to become cancerous. Cancers caught in the earliest stages have the highest five-year survival rates.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ oral-cancer-screening v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"oral-cancer-screening v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<!-- Call-out block -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.

These roots are deeply ingrained in the bone to provide structure and strength to the mouth, which is important for biting, chewing, and speaking. Without an oral hygiene routine, the teeth risk the buildup of bacteria, otherwise known as <a title=\"Read more about What is Tartar? 6 Tips to Control Buildup\" href=\"https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/tartar-dental-calculus-overview#1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Oral-Hygiene-Basics\">tartar and plaque</a>. This appears as a yellowish buildup on the teeth around the gum line.</p>\n<p>Over time, if someone does not brush, floss, and rinse at home regularly and maintain their regular dental checkups, this buildup can start to affect the smile. If left alone, the bacteria can get beneath the gums and create dental pockets. These pockets occur when the gum tissue starts to pull away from the teeth. This may also cause gum recession, which may eventually expose the tooth roots. If the bacteria have access to the roots beneath the gum line, they may gain access to the body\'s bloodstream.</p>\n<p>Once the bacteria can enter the bloodstream, the entire body may be at risk. Starting and following an oral hygiene routine will help prevent the buildup of bacteria and plaque on the teeth and keep the body safe. To protect the health of the smile is to protect the overall health of the body.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 oral-hygiene-basics v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"oral-hygiene-basics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the importance of good oral hygiene\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"To protect the health of the smile is to protect the overall health of the body.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 oral-hygiene-basics v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"oral-hygiene-basics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about helping family members with oral hygiene\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"educate-the-family\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Helping Family Members With Oral Hygiene</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Since oral health can affect body health, it is important to teach children and others about oral hygiene. Someone should talk to family members about the importance of dental care. If any family member has anxiety about visiting the dentist, speak to the dental team about options to make the experience less intimidating. Either way, every member of the family should learn about oral hygiene and what they can do to take care of their smile.</p>\n<p>Children and adults should have similar oral hygiene routines. There is a common misconception that a child\'s oral health care is different or perhaps not as important since their baby teeth will fall out. Even though baby teeth are replaced by larger adult teeth, they are still connected to the jaw bone in the same way. With children, this buildup on baby teeth can weaken their adult teeth for the rest of their lives, putting them at a higher risk of decay and disease later. This is why dental professionals recommend that children start visiting their dentist regularly from an early age.</p>\n<p>No matter the age, everyone should prioritize oral health and establish an oral hygiene routine to keep themselves healthy. As they age, however, their smile may indeed have different needs. Along the way, they will have the help and guidance of our dental team, so they should be open with them and discuss their concerns.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 oral-hygiene-basics v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"oral-hygiene-basics v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about helping family members with oral hygiene\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"If any family member has anxiety about visiting the dentist, speak to the dental team about options to make the experience less intimidating.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 oral-hygiene-basics v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"oral-hygiene-basics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about what to include in a dental care routine\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"home-oral-care-routine\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">What to Include in a Dental Care Routine</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>A dental care routine will depend on the individual\'s current oral health needs, but in general, most routines should include the following:</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Brushing</h3>\n<p>Everyone should brush their teeth twice a day with a dentist-recommended toothbrush and toothpaste. The right toothbrush should have soft bristles to prevent damage to the gums and tooth enamel. When brushing, use a small, pea-sized amount of toothpaste and move the brush against the teeth in a gentle circular motion. Move the toothbrush along the rows of the teeth at a 45-degree angle to brush at the gum line as well. Dental professionals recommend brushing for about two minutes. Make sure to get the top and bottom rows, as well as all surfaces of the teeth.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Flossing</h3>\n<p>After brushing the surface of the teeth, everyone needs to floss to clean the spaces between their teeth. Flossing should be done at least once a day to remove anything that may have gotten stuck between the teeth and reduce the possibility of buildup. To floss, hold a piece of dental floss tightly between the hands with the thumb and index finger. Gently slide the floss up and down between the teeth, curving it at the base of each tooth to get beneath the gum line.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Rinsing</h3>\n<p>After flossing, everyone should rinse with a dentist-approved mouthwash. Most mouthwashes will contain a small amount of fluoride to help keep the teeth healthy between regular dental checkups. Depending on the circumstances, the dentist may make a recommendation. Some people may need a mouthwash to help with bad breath, dry mouth, or gum disease. To rinse, follow the guidelines on the mouthwash bottle. Typically this means using a small amount of mouthwash poured into a clean cup to swish around the mouth for about a minute before spitting it out.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 oral-hygiene-basics v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"oral-hygiene-basics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about what to include in a dental care routine\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"A dental care routine will depend on current oral health needs.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 oral-hygiene-basics v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"oral-hygiene-basics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Oral Hygiene Basics services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"oral-hygiene-basics-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Oral Hygiene Basics in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Oral-Hygiene-Basics\">Oral Hygiene Basics in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS oral-hygiene-basics v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"oral-hygiene-basics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about how to keep the smile healthy and prevent tooth decay\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"diet-help-with-tooth-decay\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">How to Keep the Smile Healthy and Prevent Tooth Decay</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Following a dental hygiene routine with at-home care and regular dental checkups will help keep the smile healthy and prevent tooth decay, but other things can be done as well. Certain foods and drinks, such as sodas and sugary sweets, can put the teeth at risk. The ingredients in these food items can attack the enamel on the teeth and weaken it, making them more susceptible to bacteria and decay.</p>\n<p>Rather than eating and drinking sugary or acidic substances, everyone should try things like cheese, fruits, vegetables, and green and black teas. Cheese can combat erosion of the enamel, high-fiber fruits and vegetables can stimulate saliva production to help remove particles from the teeth, and certain teas combat bacteria that cause plaque. Plus, these healthy food items are good for the body, too, so while they are protecting the smile from tooth decay, they can give the body the nutrition it deserves.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 oral-hygiene-basics v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"oral-hygiene-basics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about how to keep the smile healthy and prevent tooth decay\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Following a dental hygiene routine with at-home care and regular dental checkups will help you keep the smile healthy and prevent tooth decay.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 oral-hygiene-basics v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"oral-hygiene-basics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Oral Hygiene Basics\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

To build and maintain this connection, regular dental checkups are important.</p>\n<p>Dental checkups are normally recommended every six months, though some individuals may need them more often if they have a history of oral health concerns or gum disease. Between checkups, everyone should continue their at-home oral hygiene routine. While a checkup is a great way to remove the buildup of plaque and polish the teeth to protect them from bacteria, everyone needs to remove particles and bacteria daily to keep their smile healthy.</p>\n<p>A daily routine should include brushing, flossing, and rinsing with a mouthwash. The dentist may also recommend different or additional steps depending on the smile’s health. Additional recommendations may include:\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li>Drinking fluoridated water</li>\n<li>Quitting smoking and other tobacco products</li>\n<li>Limiting alcoholic, caffeinated or sugary drinks</li>\n<li>Controlling other diseases that may affect the teeth</li>\n<li>Deep cleaning</li>\n</ul>\n</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS5 oral-hygiene-basics v1 Service Page Section 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ5\" id=\"oral-hygiene-basics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about health practices for a healthy smile\"><!-- Pull quote block 5 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"While a checkup is a great way to remove the buildup of plaque and polish the teeth to protect them from bacteria, everyone needs to remove particles and bacteria daily to keep their smile healthy.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ5 oral-hygiene-basics v1 Service Page Pull Quote 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-mute SPFAQ\" id=\"oral-hygiene-basics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Frequently asked questions related to Oral Hygiene Basics\"><!-- Service Page FAQ -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Why is oral hygiene important?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Aside from being one of the first things people notice about others, the smile is important to the body\'s overall health.

In general, however, there are some basic steps that everyone should take to keep their smile healthy.

Many times, oral health care concerns start with habits that have negative consequences for the teeth, such as smoking or drinking too much coffee or tea. Small changes, such as quitting smoking or limiting the intake of darker beverages, can help keep the teeth cleaner and healthier.

They can expect much of the same at a deep cleaning, except for one difference. During a deep cleaning, the dental professional will also clean the teeth beneath the gum line. This is typically only recommended for those with signs of decay or disease.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ oral-hygiene-basics v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"oral-hygiene-basics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<!-- Call-out block -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.
