| 6 | Aug. 25, 2010 | CDHA | What does a Dental Hygienist Do? | Dental hygienists are registered and certified health professionals who specialize in preventing oral health problems and diseases. They work with individual clients or communities to prevent tooth, gum and mouth diseases and injuries that can affect overall health. |
| 7 | Aug. 25, 2010 | CDHA | Using Fluoride Wisely | <p>While fluoride is generally good for oral health, too much can cause a problem called dental fluorosis.</p>
<p>This happens when too much fluoride affects tooth development by interfering with the mineralization of the enamel. Mild fluorosis affects the enamel's outer layer, producing white lines across its surface. With severe fluorosis, the enamel becomes porous, which can result in tooth sensitivity or pain. This, in turn, can lead to other problems. For example, if tooth sensitivity is severe and chewing properly becomes difficult, proper nutrition can become an issue.</p> |

| 4 | Apr. 16, 2009 | Michelle | Tooth Decay | Tooth enamel is hard yet porous. Plaque on the surface of your teeth
can produce acids that seep into the pores (rods) of the enamel and
break down its internal structure. This process, called
demineralization, can create a weak spot on the surface of the tooth
that may become a cavity if left untreated. |

| 5 | Feb. 02, 2009 | Michelle | Plaque and Tartar Control | Plaque is a sticky, colorless deposit of bacteria that is constantly forming on the tooth surface. Saliva, food, and fluids combine to produce these deposits that collect on teeth and where teeth and gums meet. |
