Have Your Dessert, San Diego

Have Your Dessert San Diego

Your San Diego cosmetic dentist knows that it’s too much to ask that you never indulge in sugary treats, but they will tell you that eating sweets at certain times is better for your teeth than others. For instance, when you eat a full meal, your saliva production increases. This helps to rinse food particles from your mouth as well as neutralize the acids that cause plaque.

This is great news for dessert lovers in the San Diego area because it means that sweets consumed after meals have a lower risk to your teeth because your mouth is already in optimum cleansing mode.

San Diego dentists agree that sweets after meals are preferable to sweets eaten between meals as snacks.

Also remember that what sweets you eat can be as important as when you eat them. San Diego dentists are constantly reminding their cosmetic dental patients that sticky candies stay on your teeth for a long time, even when your saliva is flowing. And hard candies that you suck for an extended time give bacteria a perfect environment to create enamel-weakening acids.

My name is Dr. Marcos Ortega, and I am a dentist in San Diego. My practice is Marcos Ortega DDS located at 306 Walnut Ave, Ste 25, San Diego CA.

Our very comfortable and friendly staff is here to help you have the healthiest and most beautiful smile possible. We provide general and cosmetic dentistry procedures such as tooth whitening, veneers, clear braces, inlays and onlays.

We are currently accepting new patients, call today to book an appointment!

Artistic Smile Masterpieces At Marcos Ortega DDS

Hello San Diego friends of Marcos Ortega DDS! Thanks for stopping by the ultimate cosmetic dentistry blog. Today we are talking about personal transformation. Many San Diego men and women want to reinvent themselves in at least one aspect of their life.

Some San Diego people are training for a new career. Some people have made a healthy lifestyle a priority by making better food choices and working out on a regular basis. Some San Diego residents are dedicating more attention to their personal relationships.

At Marcos Ortega DDS, Marcos Ortega skillfully uses advanced cosmetic dentistry to transform lucky patients with complete smile makeovers.

A comprehensive smile redesign involves more than applying four or six porcelain veneers to the upper front teeth. Though veneers can dramatically improve a smile, a complete smile makeover is a total smile transformation.

Dr. Ortega evaluates the condition, size, shape, alignment, and color of the teeth. These elements are created, meticulously refined, and integrated in perfect harmony. The procedures Dr. Ortega adeptly uses are dental crowns and bridges,  clear braces, root canals, teeth whitening, and dental implants.

Like any artistic masterpiece, a perfect smile is far more than the sum of its parts.

If you have a vision for your smile, it can become a reality at Marcos Ortega DDS. Schedule a cosmetic dentistry consultation today by calling 619-717-8459 or visiting http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/about.htm.

Don’t Take Stress Out On Your Teeth, San Diego

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

Don't Take Stress Out On Your Teeth San Diego Hello, I’m Dr. Marcos Ortega. At my San Diego cosmetic dental practice I have noticed more and more of my patients with stress-related dental issues. San Diego men and women may not think about it, but stress can do a number on your oral health.

Mouth sores, clenching and grinding, periodontal disease, and poor oral hygiene can all be exacerbated by stress.

San Diego people who have difficulty managing stress need to realize that it can increase the risk of getting mouth sores such as cankers and cold sores. Most canker sores only last 7-10 days, but for relief from the irritation, we recommend our patients pick up an over-the-counter topical anesthetic at any San Diego area drug store.

Clenching and grinding the teeth is common for stressed-out San Diego residents, and often it’s done unconsciously. Here at Marcos Ortega DDS our very comfortable and friendly staff can determine if a night guard or other dental appliance is appropriate to reduce grinding.

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is exacerbated by stress because stress can result in an increase in dental plaque.

And San Diego dental patients may find that when they are under stress it is more common to neglect their oral hygiene habits. Many people in the San Diego area find that they eat more sugary snacks when they’re under stress.

If you’re concerned about the effect stress can have on your teeth, schedule an appointment at Marcos Ortega DDS today. We even offer emergency dental care.  We treat patients from age 25 to 75 and we offer dental implants, porcelain veneers, dental crowns, and teeth whitening. We hope to hear from you soon!
