Excellent service! I had terrible anxiety about dentist offices from a poor experience when I was a kid. I ended up not going to the dentist for many years as an adult, resulting in many problems. Ultimately, one day, I had a dental emergency and found Bridgetown Dental, who got me in immediately. I had so much fear about dentist offices that I was tearful during the initial consult. However, Dr. Kaady never shamed me for my worry. He was kind, explained everything about the procedure, and took the time to make me feel like he cared about my teeth and experience. I totally survived the cavity-filling! He asked if I would return (I had a lot more cavities) and start regular cleanings. Five years later, I am still a patient here! Valerie, who cleans my teeth, is wonderful! Everyone here is exceptional, professional, and friendly. I decline to go anywhere else. Bridgetown Dental cured my dentist office anxiety, and I highly recommend them!
Did you know your mouth has a secret weapon against cavities? It’s called saliva, and it’s more than just spit! This fantastic fluid is your first defense in maintaining a healthy smile. Saliva helps wash away food particles, neutralizes harmful acids, and even contains minerals that can repair early tooth decay. It’s like having a built-in mouthwash and repair kit!
But what happens when your saliva production decreases? Dry mouth isn’t just uncomfortable—it can lead to many dental problems. Understanding saliva’s role is crucial for everyone, from kids to seniors.
