How to Protect Your Teeth -- and Your Smile -- in 2011; Tips From Specialized Dentistry of New York

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 29, 2010

Want to protect your teeth, your gums and your smile in 2011? Then you would do well to watch your weight, exercise, not smoke, keep track of your sugar consumption, beware of bagels, brush or rinse after drinking coffee, tea or red wine, wear seatbelts -- and brush your tongue, advises the team of dental implan t and cosmetic dentistry doctors (prosthodontists, periodontists, orthodontists) at Specialized Dentistry of New York (http://www.sdnyonline.com)

While proper brushing and flossing, along with regular dental checkups, are your first line of defense, there are important measures you can take that will protect your teeth from being fractured, chipped, discolored -- or lost -- and help assure an attractive, confident smile, says Specialized Dentistry of New York prosthodontist Dr. Richard Smith:

Be aware of the foods and beverages that stain teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, blueberries, dark sodas, cranberry juice, soy sauce and beets. Brushing your teeth or swirling water around your mouth immediately after eating or drinking these culprits can help mitigate their effects.

Limit how frequently you consume sugar drinks, gum and candies. Sugar lowers the pH (acidity) level in the mouth and the bacteria that cause tooth decay thrive in that environment. Bathing teeth in sugar throughout the day prevents the normal, healthy pH level from being restored. Even dried fruit, eaten as a healthy snack, is full of fructose, which is sugar. And, its ironic that sugar mints used to mask bad breath can actually harm teeth.

Don't smoke. Smokers are more likely than non-smokers to have oral cancer, bad breath, tooth loss, recessed gums and facial wrinkling. And smoking is also a major cause of tooth discoloration.

One of the surprising benefits of losing excess pounds and getting more exercise in 2011 may be healthier teeth and gums. According the American Academy of Peridontology, research has found that subjects who maintained a healthy body weight and high levels of physical fitness had a lower incidence of severe periodontitis (gum disease). Gum disease attacks the bone and tissues that support the teeth, often resulting in tooth loss.

Dont bite down on hard foods, like bones, rock-solid bagels or hard candies. Never use your teeth to crack hard nuts or to chew on ice cubes.
Remember that teeth are for eating (and smiling) -- not for chewing on pencils, opening packages or lifting off bottle caps.

Its hard not to feel stress these days. During sleep, regular grinding, clenching or gnashing the upper and lower teeth (called bruxism and often stress related), can wear down teeth and also harm gums, bone and the jaw. A custom-made hard plastic night guard, fitted by your dentist and worn at night, will act as a protective device, taking pressure off teeth and keeping enamel from breaking down.

Tooth trauma is a constant danger during contact sports and many recreational activities. The very real potential for tooth injury is almost always present, from basketball, racquet ball, roller and ice skating to volleyball, football, baseball, rollerblading and bicycling. By absorbing much of the force of contact, mouth guards offer essential protection during all these activities. You might even think of them as seatbelts for your teeth. According to the American Dental Association, an athlete is 60 times more likely to suffer harm to the teeth when not wearing a mouth guard.

Auto accidents are one of the leading causes of tooth injuries. To protect teeth from being fractured, chipped, broken or lost, always wear seatbelts in cars and especially in the rear seats of taxis, where hitting the partition during an accident or even a sudden stop can cause disfiguring facial damage.

Back to brushing. But this time, its your tongue. Brushing the tongue with a toothbrush, tongue brush or tongue scraper, eliminates many of the bacteria that cause tooth decay. And plaque and food debris allowed to stagnate on the back of the tongue are the leading cause of halitosis, Removing them with a toothbrush or tongue brush is more effective than most mouthwashes in preventing bad breath.

About Specialized Dentistry of New York (http://www.sdnyonline.com):

Mr. Costumes Must Have Hot Costumes for 2011

Alpharetta, GA (PRWEB) August 11, 2011

Mr. Costumes, a premier online retailer for quality costumes and accessories in the U.S., is pleased to offer over 1,000 new costumes for 2011. With the Halloween season quickly approaching, Mr. Costumes announces their list of Must Have Hot Costumes for 2011, giving the public the inside scoop on which costumes will generate the most buzz this season.

Reporting a rise in superhero costume trends in social media, MrCostumes has expanded its selection to include sleek new designs and revamped characters. Hot in superhero searches include new Captain America costumes for 2011, featuring updated colors and suspendors, a sexy female Batgirl with a corset, and Green Lantern costumes for all ages, male and female.

With all of the hype surrounding the newest Batman film, "The Dark Knight Rises", Buyer Jeanette DiCamillo states, "We are seeing Batman costume popularity only increase for 2011," adding, "Batman costumes have always been big, especially Joker costumes." In the latest movie, scheduled to hit theaters in 2012, Catwoman will be portrayed by Anne Hathaway. With Catwoman costumes a longstanding fan favorite, Mr. Costumes is now offering the brand new Catwoman costume featuring the Ame Comi figure design sculpted by UDON Entertainment Corporation.

Also making the Must Have list are vampire costumes, with female vampiress sales continuing to dominate with the upcoming release of the movie "Breaking Dawn", an adaption of the last "Twilight" book. In response to public demand, Mr. Costumes offers designs from classical Transylvanian vampires to more modern, punky vampires of recent television shows and movies.

"Anything connected to the media is big," DiCamillo says. "When a theme like vampires gets in front of the public eye, the costume instantly becomes popular. I expect there to be a ton of vampire costumes this year whether they're inspired by "Twilight" or "True Blood", or even "Fright Night"."

Though visitors to the site will see many new costumes available for 2011, including licensed blue Smurfs, Mr. Costumes notes that sales trends have always favored reliable themes. Historical costumes are especially popular year round for Renaissance Festivals and Oktoberfest fun, and themes like Red Riding Hood costumes have always sold well, even before the 2011 movie release. Traditional best sellers are available in updated designs with increased selection to meet demands from rising search trends.

Mr. Costumes notes that no matter what theme is currently popular, couples costumes are always at the top of searches. Couples want to feel like a unit when they go out, and they can do that by costuming together with a group theme. To aid couples in their search, Mr. Costumes has updated their couples costumes selection to include over one hundred options with both male and female complementary costumes.

The couples costumes page includes a list of original Halloween ideas that range from zombies to Romeo and Juliet. Different eras from Medieval to futuristic space appear on a single page, and couples can decide together what best fits them in their relationship. All of the most popular costume themes for 2011 are available as couples costumes, including Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, Batman and Catwoman, and numerous popular superhero and vampire couples.

Mr Costumes offers plus size and adult costumes, as well as kids and baby designs, ensuring Must Have Costumes for 2011 are available for all ages and sizes.
